A Note About Careers

This post is in response to the many emails asking about career's advise, open positions and internships with my current employer. Due to such a high volume of requests to my personal email address I'm not in a position to respond to careers related queries - by reading this you'll save yourself time, effort and hopefully avoid some frustration.

Companies advertising positions in this space include: Google; Intel; Motorola; Apple; Yahoo; Sony Ericsson and my employer's career page can be found here. (Assuming for a moment that a public facing careers page is a window to the soul of a corporation - what does the design of each of these sites tell you about their priorities?) Maybe the ads on this page can point you to timely opportunities? - we both know the only way you're going to find out if that's true is by click on them.

Some of you might prefer more design focussed agencies such as Ideo, Adaptive Path or Frog Design.

Or maybe you're ready to bring something beautiful of your own into the world?

Ultimately if you didn't need luck, it wouldn't be worth doing. Go figure.
