After being rejected by Microsoft, Antara Dave gained user experience skills at Home Depot before reapplying. She focused on building a new resume that highlighted a year's experience in UX design. During the second application, she successfully navigated the interview process by showcasing her design work and problem-solving skills. Dave credits her educational background and previous roles for equipping her with critical thinking skills essential for her job as a senior product designer leading user experience for AI tools at Microsoft, which she joined in 2022.
"When I applied again a year later, I did not have any referrals inside the company. I just applied to the Microsoft portal and got a call and went from there."
"There was a one-hour interview where I presented my work to a bunch of people on the team, around 20 people. They also asked me questions about my project to understand how I made those design decisions."
