I’ve been looking at IDEO as well, am intrigued by the possibility of using my words skillz in a design consultancy-type setting.

At its core, IDEO is all about using empathy and research to constantly iterate and deliver function, so definitely don’t skimp on the setup and insight writeups. Key in on how the insight was generated, as well as how the idea helped deliver value to the target. If the idea went through testing and focus group feedback was implemented, be ready to discuss during your interview.

So much of what they do is in-field/on-site research and observation, so if you have passion projects/hobbies that show off your listening or collaboration skills, definitely put those in your book.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation.

Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
