Interview Preparation with Annalisa

Annalisa guided me through the entire career change process – from portfolio preparation to salary negotiation. I got in touch with her when I was in the early stages of breaking into product design. I was completely lost and didn't know where to start and how to establish myself in the field. She was generous and very supportive from day one. We first started with my portfolio, Annalisa continuously reviewed and provided feedback on two self-initiated case studies I began creating (to add to my portfolio). She explained what skills I needed to work on and pointed me in the direction of how to improve. When I started applying for jobs, Annalisa empowered me with positivity and reassurance. She helped me prepare for interviews, shared techniques and practised whiteboard challenges with me. I got my first job offer as a Product Designer last week, I'm over the moon, but it wouldn't ever be possible without Annalisa's assistance and encouragement :)

Annalisa is very generous and friendly, knows her stuff and was a sparring buddy while self studying, thank you !

I feel extremely lucky to found Anna on Mentorcruise; she is such a wonderful, friendly and encouraging mentor. She is a real expert in user experience design, and I learned a lot from her. Anna was super supportive and understood my needs from the beginning. I had different challenges throughout this time, and she advised me on how best to deal with each situation. With her constructive feedback and professional guidance, I successfully received multiple job offers after a sudden layoff, and I’m so grateful for that. I can't recommend her enough!

Annalisa was amazing! She reviewed all the work, picking all the necessary points that had problems and giving tips on how to solve them. Thank you for everything Annalisa!

Where do I even BEGIN with Annalisa?! If I could give her 10 stars I WOULD. 100000% recommend Annalisa to any UX designer - regardless of skill level. She is incredible!!!! I have been working with Annalisa for the past few months and I knew even from my first meeting with her that she was going to be a BIG help. I am transitioning into UX, so I needed a mentor to provide feedback and guidance. She has been able to do that for me and more some. She goes according to my pace, challenges me, and is more than generous with her time. I would not be as far along in my journey if it weren't for Annalisa! She is an EXPERT in UX and the cherry on top - she is so enjoyable to work with. I am so grateful for her!
