Its been a trend these days to give #design #assignments prior to #hiring design #applicants, even though the design applicant is providing a #portfolio list of past works that is enough to judge his/her #thinking #process. Most of the times
such assignments are misused to collect #ideas for the project in action. We call it #Fakeathones. A Design homework that obviously have no scope for actual #UserResearch and #Usability Testing until hired based on one's opinion is not justifiable.
Designers and #UX are not idea generation machines. Idea Generation is a Team Work achieved by #DesignThinking, Stakeholder Discussions, User Interviews and many other such exercises. Designers, Design #Coaches, Design Mentors, UX #Strategist
are mere #facilitators in such exercises. Over the last decade the field of designing has #institutionalized. They follow systematic Data Driven #methodologies. Such practices and expectation from UX and
Designers is harming the collective fidelity of the eco-system of #recruitment, hiring, #ProductDevelopment, #corporate and #startup. This knowledge must be an integral part of Design Education. #DesignCollege #DesignEducation #UXChapters #UXjobs #DesignJobs #DesignTutorial
