Reflections
There are several areas in which I can improve on with my prototypes. Seeking
feedback from the end user allows me to empathise with them and get a better
understanding of their needs. I don’t believe the ideas that I have come up with
will suffice in resolving the problem. I will have to go back to the drawing board
and pick another idea to run with.
Worked
- get a feel for various industries if
you’re confused
- ability to meet with people in the
industry and get better understanding
- allows you to make connections
Needs Improvement
- doesn’t really provide work
experience so much as an
understanding of different industries
- amount of time is quite short for
employer to get a good understanding
of your abilities
Questions
-what if the company you want to work
for isn’t there?
Ideas
- maybe a job fair to sign up for
placement? Most enthusiastic would
show up
Worked
- Liked you could do from privacy of
your own home
- easy concept to understand
- fast tracks the process
- gets an inevitable part of the process
out of the way
Needs Improvement
- Maybe not realistic enough – no
workplace environment pressure
- feels a bit too much like a uni
assignment
Questions
- How’s it different from interview?
- What’s to stop someone from getting
someone else to do it?
Ideas
- Need to be on the job placement – too
easy to fake
