They now look for A LOT. They want someone similar to 2-3 years experienced designer. You should be able to do everything with great precision. Screw internship, try getting a full time job in a small company it’ll help you get a better one later on. 
 Also, drive link not gonna work. At least have a framer or wix website.

Hi, I am an UI intern for a small size design agency since march. Frankly learned a lot about the design process IRL and very grateful for the experience. I have upgraded my portfolio a little bit and now  want to know if I am ready to be upgraded to the next position of a designer in a company. I also want to know honestly what kind of designs do companies look for in a UX/UI designer’s portfolio. I have attached a sneak peak to my designs. Would love a honest evaluation and opinion. Thank you.

What do companies look for in a portfolio?

What do companies look for in a portfolio?- Grapevine

Hey everyone, I wanted to share an experience that many of you might relate to. Over the past few months, I have applied to over 40+companies/ startups for Ui/Ux designer / product designer job positions. Despite putting my best foot forward and ensuring my applications were tailored to each role, I haven't received any responses. I even applied through platforms like Well Found, where my applications were accepted, but unfortunately, I wasn't scheduled for any interviews.

This journey has been challenging and disheartening, but I'm determined to keep pushing forward. I'd like to ask for your advice and insights on the. Feedback and improvement.

UX/UI Designer

As you advance into more senior roles, what would you or a hiring manager expect to see in a portfolio?
Say you’re seeking a Director level or ‘Head of’ position, what would a portfolio look like?
How would it differ from more junior portfolios? What should be included? What shouldn’t be included? And do you even need one? We’re also discussing leadership playbooks as alternatives to ‘project portfolios’. Anyone have any experience of this? Good idea? Bad idea?

Director or head of UX, do you need portfolios to get hired?

Any Tips or Suggestions where to get a real time project as fresher with no experience and how to Build Portfolio? Without any real time projects?

And no, the debate isn’t whether tech hiring is tough or non-tech hiring is tough - all I’m saying is ... design hiring is the trickiest of them all.

Think about it:
- There are only so many keywords to focus on. How do you even begin to filter out the right talent?
- Subjectivity of Aesthetics: Defining what looks good vs what is “really” good. What might look good to a recruiter is not what might appeal to a hiring manager
- Communication Breakdown: What looks good to a hiring manager needs to be translated to the recruiter on the grounds and factors why the design made sense. Tough - hell yeah!
- Every designer has a portfolio, but how do you differentiate between genuinely innovative work and something that’s just flashy or just showed his inclination to one theme/style or is the portfolio screaming love for one sub section - neobrutalism anyone? Today’s trendy designs might be tomorrow’s outdated trash. How do you hire for timeless design skills?
- Technical Skills vs. Artistic Vision: How do you balance or filter on either - the need for technical proficiency with the necessity for artistic vision
- Client-Based Variability: Designers often tailor their work to what the ask was. How do you discern their true skill level when their portfolio is a mixed bag of client/customer whims? + how do you know X's work is not Y inspired or even better.. a rip off?
- Designers are creative people. How do you access real Cultural Fit? This breed needs to be protected and let them be. But then how do you ascertain designers work style gels with your company’s culture?
- Without assignments you cant get to know them or their depth and dimension of work, and assignments (in general) carry a bad rep in that circuit - cause a lot of work is passed off as a screening assignment.

IMHO, design hiring is like assembling a rocket ship with Lego pieces - it’s complex, nuanced, and the stakes are incredibly high. If can either get it right or F UP real bad.
