Note: Also ask for business goals ✨ (Edit) In this video, I demonstrate what it's like to have a UX whiteboard challenge interview. Note that you probably will ask more questions and write done more things in an actual interview. For the ideation section, feel free to use ideation tricks and tools such as "How Might We" and "Crazy Eight." I've had my whiteboard challenge with Google, but this is not my interview's exact question because I'm not allowed to share it. If you find the video too slow, feel free to speed it up. Enjoy! 😄

I cannot thank you enough for making this video in the first place. I have an interview today and I was nervous until I realized how to lead the conversation in an UX whiteboard challenge and what to ask and how to answer them. It was very thorough, and that step-by-step situation gave me tons of clarity!!! I am applying for a PM role but UX plays a huge role.

You’re a legend for showing the process while being two people. Thank you so much. I feel so much more prepared for my design interview!

Thank you Aliena, I tried multiple different strategies to tackle WBC, but in the end, I felt your 4 columns grid works best because it's fairly simple & easy to remember. What I liked the most is that there's a storytelling element even in your questions which I didn't find in any other videos. In every other design challenge video, it seems like interviewees ask so many questions to the interviewers just to demonstrate that they think holistically about the product but they just forget there's a timer that's running. Your strategy is so far the best!! I truly appreciate your efforts in making this video.
