Most interview advice is written by people who haven't sat in a UK hiring loop recently. This is the structure, the traps, and 24 answers you fill in with your own work — plus a 34-page workbook with the blanks left for you.

Interviewers can't assess whether your design was good. They weren't there, they don't know your constraints, and they'll spend twenty minutes on work that took you nine months.
That's the whole test. Everything else is a proxy for it.
Most candidates present artefacts. The ones who get offers present decisions.
It's learnable in an afternoon, which is roughly what this kit takes.
Nine parts, 26 pages, no padding — plus a workbook you write in. Everything in square brackets is a blank you fill with your own work.
Six slides timed to 14 minutes of actual speaking — because you'll be interrupted twice and lose five minutes to Teams. Each slide has the line to say and the trap to avoid.
The four things actually being scored, only one of which is design ability. Plus the four traps, including the two that are set deliberately.
Eight competencies, three questions each. Every one tagged with what's being scored and the specific trap that sinks it.
The accessibility and design system questions where candidates answer one level below their experience. WCAG 2.2, component governance, ownership.
A three-source method for finding a real, current range — plus scripts for the five moments money comes up, including the fixed-band and remote-working pushbacks.
Four templates: the useful 24-hour follow-up, the answer you fumbled, the chase, and the rejection reply that gets you reconsidered.
How mid, senior and lead case studies read differently, eight concrete moves to close the gap, and what to do when the work is confidential and you cannot show it.
Referrals, recruiters, which events are worth an evening, and the follow-up that works. Written for people who do not enjoy networking.
A table matching where you keep losing to the one thing to fix — plus a nine-month sequence. Deliberately no reading list.
The kit with the blanks left for you. Project picker, the six slides, 24 STAR pages, a salary worksheet, a rejection log, and a rehearsal checklist.
This is the format all 24 follow. Nothing to memorise — you're filling in structure with work you already did.
"Describe a time you cut scope."
SCOREDWhether you can say no with a reason attached.
TRAPCutting scope without naming what you protected and why.
