Dan and Richard - can I ask what is cheesy and condescending about the definitions? I’ve had positive feedback from other industry folk on them, but that was on the ID side of the fence. Is simply using these terms offensive? Is it a given that someone applying for an IXD job has an anthropological angle to their research methods? Is it a given that all applicants can communicate well in cross-functional teams?
I apologize if I’m coming off like an ask-hole. I just want to understand the industry landscape better. I genuinely feel like these two concepts set me apart from the bulk of student designers I’ve encountered… then again, I am in a kind of isolated geography.
Again, thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it!
