Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

I’m about to start an internship at IBM for UX Research. I’m super excited about it, and was wondering if anyone could tell me about the design culture there or how the company is for designers? So far online I’ve only heard about the company from consultants or software engineers. For more reference I’ll be working in Austin.

I wouldn’t put it on your resume but it’s a great talking point during interviews. I’d focus more on the nuggets of insight you’ve learned from it than the actual experience.
Gotcha! Thanks so much :)
I’d say it’d be a good talking point, but not worth putting on your resume.
In my opinion, This is kind of like applying for a job at a movie studio as a producer and saying you go to early movie screenings—it shows you have interest and passion, but it doesn’t tell me much about your understanding of the how and why.
I think this is something you could use to paint a bigger picture of your journey to UX, but it shouldn’t be one of your resume bullets unless you did a ton of user interviews.
Great analogy, thank you! That makes a lot of sense. I'll definitely use it more a as a talking point then!
