What mentees are asking about — and more UX links this weekA weekly selection of UX links, brought to you by your friends at the UX Collective.
The most common topics from 200+ design mentorship sessions ›For the last couple of years I have been regularly meeting with designers from various countries and backgrounds to offer mentorship and career guidance. These sessions are one of the most efficient ways I have found to give back to the community some of what I have learned from it. The topics we cover in those sessions vary a lot depending on each designer's particular goals: portfolio review, career advice, design critique, questions about working in agencies or working abroad, or simply high-level conversations about where digital design is headed. The other day I was looking back at all the sessions I have had: more than 200 mentorship sessions according to my Google Hangout call history. Once I week I'll jump on a video call, for 15–45 minutes, with someone different. Honestly, I wish I had kept a more detailed log of every one of those conversations. Each story is so unique and so special that I feel deeply connected to the mentee. And still: when I step back and look at the totality of sessions, I am able to identify the patterns on the most common topics people want to chat about. This post is a collection of some of them. Product strategy and the myth of the creative genius › Designers are defining usability too narrowly › The bullshit web › From the community
