as someone who got hired at 19 as a product designer and had major imposter syndrome over the years (I'm 26 now), this video has helped a ton. I never knew what people look for on a portfolio since I didn't get hired the traditional way (I was a junior software engineer from a bootcamp but transitioned to design). I didn't want to spend my entire career at once place and never knew where to start. This has helped a ton as I'm afraid to ask people I work with since the company I work for is known to get rid of people the second they mention other options and the only friends I have in this industry are my coworkers.

Hi @lifeatmiro ! Thank you for the video and the product you build. I have been working in IT for 15+ years. I've made the path of SWE -> Sr. SWE -> Entrepreneur -> Tech lead/Team lead -> Delivery Manager. It was laid through companies of different sizes. Now I work for one of the biggest European tech. But still, I have the following questions about the EM role: 1. Could you pls explain the "Why" behind having the EM role in the company? What is the real need for it? 2. It was a long explanation of the role, but no real-world examples of the results. Could you pls mention something tangible and measurable? 3. It was mentioned that the role is impactful. So, what are the examples of the positive and especially negative impact of someone in the role? 4. One of the EM role challenges mentioned was "delegation". But is the EM role associated with any responsibility for a product scope/deliverables in your company? What exactly does EM delegate in your context? 5. Another aspect of turning into the EM mentioned was "the art of letting go". But what about acquiring new skills as then there is free capacity after dropping the technical contribution?

basically you guys set for over 17 min and said nothing...):

Everyone needs a friend in technical recruiting as a software engineer. When I reflect on earlier CVs I sent out for jobs, I shudder at how bad they were (and now understand why I never got any calls). It was only after sending the CV to a friend of mine who was a technical recruiter, and after she gave me a scathing review that I got it fixed and started getting calls. Everything they are saying in this video should be listened to. Well done folks! @Miro, what is your take on adding key skills to your CV?

Great conversation Elliot and Alyssa. Thank you for the pointers.

From this video, I can infer that a design leadership portfolio is different from a design portfolio. Thanks for opening my eyes. I am indeed grateful.

This was a really great video, I’m in the crossroads and I’ve found it very hard to decide between these 2 roles. With this amazing interview covering a vast array of fields and questions I can now choose better. I’ll share with more people to help them as well. Thanks!

Very insightful :)

chatgpt couldve explained it better. so much corporate jargon and so little substance. a complete waste of time.

the sticker on the laptop 亡 means dead in Chinese...

Very vague and generic tbh.

These guys are most definitely creative leaders. POV is not important in product or UX design.

Her comments are extremely biased being that she has already hired and likes these people.

Creative and playful because they put a star on it?

This was really insightful..!! Thank you team.

It's so lazy when hirers assume that your portfolio is a reflection of what you can do as a design professional--because they forget the strangeness of the hiring process, mistake themselves for the actual users you'll design for, and tend to have selfish expectations--like wanting to be entertained (ahem) and not wanting to do much reading. Summarizing past work and dealing with yourself and the anxiety of a job search is so different than being motivated by other people and other problems to solve, working as part of a team. And any recruiter worth their salt should know that interviewing well is at best a modest indicator of performing well in the job.

I would like to add a point here that presentation of conceptual craft design and hierarchical methodology is the best way to convey the insights and depth of a product which helps everyone understand it very quickly and saves you alot of time and thus feeds your company to keep prosper.

!!!

Thank you both, that was so insightful. Hope to be part of such an amazing team one day, inspiring others the same way you are inspiring me.

Very helpful even for interviews for other positions! Thank you

Great tips, thank you!

Damn can these designers be any worse?

Would have liked to see and gain more insight into the leadership portfolio

Thank you. Really helpful insights 😊

I’ve heard of companies talking about how difficult it is to find the right candidates, so it could be helpful to see from a job seekers point of view. Like you, job seekers don’t have time to read a lot of text. We’re applying for tens of jobs every day, so if a job posting has several paragraphs about how their company is a “Leader in the industry” and using vague business Jargon that any company can use, then I wouldn’t apply. I want to know right away what your company does, and what you need from your new potential employee. Long winded job postings like this give me the impression that the managers will also be vague and not be able to pin point what we’re doing as a team, or provide constructive feedback.

Really appreciated this!

4:20 Sounds more like you want to gather strategies from the candidates (free consultancy work). A practice that unfortunately many companies do nowadays.

I currently manage a portfolio of approximately 500 small-midsize businesses in financial services, and I am seriously considering pivoting to CSM

🎉🎉

Sorry but the tone of the lady in black is very irking

Great video! Thanks! But speaking of accessibility, does a visitor to the portfolio have to sign up for Miro to view a Miro portfolio, or can anyone instantly access it?

I find this video very insightful. Thanks for sharing and expecting more like this in future. Thank you Team Miro!

Pretty useless video. No real substance, just a super high level overview with no real tips and insights.

I passionately hate emojis. Such a turn off.

Very interesting ! Thanks for making this video :)

Thanks. Im glad I found this vid. I have an interview coming up tomorrow

Lol 4 rounds of interviews lol get the fuk outta here lmao

Can you make a video on security engineering

Really interesting video and incredibly useful tips! Thank you!

Give us an example!

So much talking an nothing specific said - I will have an interview today so this was not really constructive. Real time work examples would have been more helpful then useless theory.

Love your 구 😂

This was very informative. As someone who is trying to break in to tech as a Customer Success Manager this was helpful!

Can you do the same for product design and product management?

Would be interesting to see aswell the porfolio of people who got an internship with you guys. Not all of us is a senior with an already estabilished portfolio :)

If I spent the last year studying front end web development and I’m now switching over to learning what is needed to become a quality assurance analyst. How should my résumé look and are the skills and different things that I learn from Web development going to carryover into quality assurance analyst?

Thank you for this insigthful feedback and the points that you've highlighted. It is definitely useful for all of us on the other side of application process 😊

Haha wait, you saying that interview is a conversation, and in 30sek you saying that there will be a dedicated time to ask your questions. By that means, that 20min a person will answer your, recruiters, questions, and maybe will have a time at the end to ask his/hers own. Am I understanding this approach right? 😅

Sometimes if you done a really deep research about the company, it could be hard to find a question which u were interested in but didn't know) But I ques we can ask questions to go dipper in the details in such cases. Thank you very much for the video, there are a lot of useful tips!

Funnily enough, I tutor on Preply while studying design and I liked the design shown in this video much better than the new design they have now
