In Part 2 of this episode, Madhuri - Designer, and Host of the Hireworthy Podcast - gives us valuable insight about applying, positioning oneself and interviewing for a new career opportunity. We discuss in depth, about how developing product thinking skills and understanding business can enable designers who wish to move into product management. Madhuri also tells us why management may not be for everyone, and how to choose between IC and manager roles. We debate about the relevance of the day-long interview format, and Madhuri lays out some of the parameters for ensuring an effective interview for both the parties. She gives us insight into the best way to tackle those nerve-wracking contextual interview questions. We talk about the emotional toll of the job hunt process, and how to practice self-care while improving our skills. We conclude with strategies on how to stay relevant and employable even in the midst of a recession.
