Colloquio
Applied for the junior user researcher (graduate program). They first send a cognitive and personality test, not difficult. Then it's 30min hiring manager interview which includes a 5-10 min self presentation. The rest questions will be about the presentation. I included my academic research experience so the rest were all about that. However, he included a mini research challenge I didnt expect that. later was group dynamic interview and final interview

Imagine you're conducting user research for a new mobile app that helps people track their daily water intake. How would you approach interviewing users to understand their needs and preferences?
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Hitachi Solutions (Porto, Oporto) nel mese di mar 2023
Colloquio
Was asked to complete a personality test and assessment days before the interview. Then, was invited for an interview and asked to prepare a presentation. During the interview, it didn't matter whether I prepared the presentation, and I had to almost insist on presenting it since I took time to prepare it. Then, the interviewee had a set of behavioural questions for me to answer, which I hadn't prepared for (this was my fault). The interviewee kept pressuring me to answer the questions or to move on to the next one. I didn't feel comfortable and therefore, couldn't concentrate enough to answer the questions properly. Overall, I felt like the interviewee was rushing through my interview so that they could interview someone else next. At the end of the questions, the interview was finished and I wasn't told anything about the job, had I not asked about it. I was then told I could expect to hear back from them in the middle of April, but they never got back to me.
