This is a mobile application I concepted during my User Experience Design Immersive course at General Assembly. It allows users to record videos of themselves preparing for job interviews and then to share those videos with family and friends for feedback.
2. Project Brief
IntervieWMe was the Third project from my General
Assembly course. Working alone over the course of two
weeks I developed an idea from a research phase into a
high fidelity prototype. These are the steps I took:
• Research
• Persona Creation
• Feature Prioritization
• Sketching/Iteration
• First Iteration
• User Testing
• High Fidelity Prototyping

3. Final Product
Description
IntervieWME is an interview preparation tool designed to
help recent college graduates prepare for upcoming
interviews.
It allows users to record, review, save and share answers
to potential interview questions. The users can share
their answers through multiple channels.
InterviewME has an advantage over the competition
because it is designed for mobile and connected to
social media.

4. Research
I created a screener survey to select millenials from my class who had
varying levels of job interviewing experience. From my pool of 12
qualified applicants I interviewed seven people over the course of two
days. Participants in the study were asked about their interview
preparation habits and their performance in past interviews.
I found that participants fell into three basic categories in terms of
their methods of preparing for interviews. Those three categories
became personas. I designed for two of the personas because the
third, by definition, did not spend time preparing for interviews.
