Connect goals to senior scope
Write two sentences that connect your next role to complex consumer product work, cross-functional leadership, and influence without authority. Name the type of scope you want to own.
The role emphasizes complex consumer products, cross-functional work, communication, and influence. This gives your goals specific relevance without assuming a Senior-specific loop.
Your first try takes the full 40 minutes, like the real one.
What they look for
LinkedIn’s official design hiring page reports a recruiter screen, App Critique, Case Study review, conditional design exercise, and final day with presentation, portfolio review, and team interviews. The Senior Product Designer posting adds leadership on complex consumer products, cross-functional work, and senior-leader communication. No source confirms the senior-specific loop, durations, exercise format, or final-day sequence.
They reward
- Clear product reasoning from problem to outcome.
- Specific critique of interactions, visuals, motion, and interface design.
- Leadership across Product, Engineering, AI Research Scientists, and senior leaders.
What to avoid
- Give only a list of design methods.
- Describe team fit without specific collaboration evidence.
- Use vague aesthetic judgments without user impact.
- Redesign the entire app without prioritization.
- Present a polished artifact without the decision path.
How sure we are
Worth redoing if you hear something from the recruiter that contradicts this.
