In October I had one of my best phone interviews. I never heard back yet other recruiters keep contacting me about the job. Today a recruiter got back to me saying oh yes they interviewed you and they said you have too much graphic design experience and not enough UX. Huh I've been a UX Designer and UI Developer for ten years.
Not helpful and their reason has to be personal, so they just say nothing or as today were forced to make stuff up.
- tmm84 7y agoSometimes companies just don't understand a role that well. Maybe the last UI/UX person they had was initially a UX person that turned UI and so they think you need more of one than the other. I can't count the number of times I seen job descriptions that look like a copy and pasted resume of the previous employee they had.
- paul7986 7y agoWell it was weird cause it came directly to the recruiter via the UX Manager. But oh well I fortunately have a job and sometimes just go and see what's out there.
- woutr_be 7y agoI've been rejected from engineering roles for those reasons as well. From my experience, it's just people looking at your resume, rather than actually trying to understand the candidate. In my case it was because I studied design in college (it was actually design + development), and my first roles were mostly front-end. Even though I passed their backend test, they still just treated me based on my resume, and assume I could only do front-end engineering.
