Anfisa: 本期节目讨论了为什么求职者在提交设计作品集后收不到任何反馈,以及如何才能在众多申请者中脱颖而出。Anfisa还分享了招聘人员筛选候选人的方法,以及作品集常见的错误,并建议求职者尝试除招聘网站以外的其他求职途径。Anfisa强调作品集的重要性,并建议求职者在创作作品集时,应注重作品集的完整性和连贯性,并通过渐进式披露的原则来呈现作品集内容。Anfisa还讨论了在作品集中是否应该包含用户画像的问题,并对该问题进行了深入探讨。 Ioana: Ioana 则从招聘人员的角度出发,分析了求职者作品集常见的错误,例如缺乏个性化和针对性,以及作品集过于注重流程的线性化,忽略了真实工作中的复杂性和团队协作。Ioana 建议求职者在申请工作时,应更注重申请的个性化和针对性,而非海投简历。Ioana 还指出,许多初级设计师的作品集像“清单式”作品集,过于注重流程的线性化和可预测性,缺乏真实项目中的复杂性和意外情况的展现。Ioana 建议求职者应避免仅依赖在线求职网站,尝试其他渠道,如内部推荐、社交媒体等,以提高求职成功率。Ioana 还分享了作品集常见的错误,例如流行词滥用、细节处理不当、用户体验差等问题,并建议求职者在创作作品集时,应注重故事性,并确保所有内容都与故事相关且有价值。 Anfisa: Anfisa 总结了本期节目的主要内容,并再次强调了作品集的重要性,以及求职者应注重作品集的故事性,而非流程框架。Anfisa 还建议求职者在创作作品集时,应关注作品集是否展现批判性思维、整体思维、协作能力、同理心、挑战现状和清晰表达决策的能力,而非仅仅关注流程和交付物。Anfisa 还建议求职者在创作作品集时,应谨慎使用用户画像,并确保其在项目中具有明确的目的性和意义。Anfisa 最后建议求职者应尝试不同的求职渠道,并不断测试和迭代自己的作品集和求职策略。
