Check out our latest blog post – Why Are Consumer Products Not Built to Last Anymore? Do you recall when purchasing a washing machine, television, kettle or even a pair of shoes was an investment and not a temporary purchase? Many household products used to be made to be repaired, maintained and used for years. Nowadays, products can sometimes appear to be designed for a much shorter lifespan.

A phone slows down, a washing machine breaks down, a kitchen appliance stops working and suddenly the cost of repair is so close to the price of replacement that buying something new seems the only sensible option. We look at some of the reasons why this has happened. www.careersindesign.com/blog/why-are-consumer-products-not-built-to-last-anymore

Check out our latest blog post - Interview Questions Design Candidates Struggle With Most. Design interviews are not only about design skills and project experience, but also about testing candidates’ problem-solving skills and creative thinking. Many interviewers use hypothetical scenarios or real-world problems to see how candidates think and approach problems. This helps the employer to see how the candidate can think on their feet and use design principles in a practical way.

Preparation is therefore the key to successfully navigating these interviews. It also helps if you have a good understanding of the company’s culture and design philosophy going into the interview. Candidates should research the organisation to tailor their responses and show how they would contribute to the team. If a candidate can match their personal design ethos with that of the company, they could then be the ideal candidate for the role.
