UX Designer Interview Question:

Tell Me What Do You Think The Most Important Part Of The UX Design Process Is?

Submitted by: Muhammad

The employer is asking this question because they want to get some insight into who you are as a designer and they're trying to assess whether your outlook and views would fit in with the existing team. Now, obviously there's no ‘right' or ‘wrong' answer with this one because it all comes down to personal opinion, however when answering this type of question, it's a good idea to try and be very clear about which stage of the process you're referring to and to have clear reasons to justify your decision.

If you're really serious about getting this particular job, it's worth doing a bit of research into the company and seeing what they value in the design process eg. customer research, wire-framing, user flow diagrams etc – and then creating an answer which falls in line with their values.
