DESIGN THINKING - EMPATHIZE

2. I have been offered jobs
that are not exactly what I
am looking for
Finding the job you
are after is quite
difficult
I’m phoning every
firm I am interesting
in working for,
sending my cv and
hoping for the best
There is a general career
office …
it is reasonably efficient if
you are looking to become
employee No. 2093471938
If you are trying to get
into a niche market (the
career office) are not
much help
You need to contact people
through networking

“SAY”

3. It is
difficult to
find the
job I am
looking for
Not
another
number
I have worked hard
and done well,
finding a job I
want should be
easier than this
I need to be persistent in
my pursuit
THINK

4. Frustrated
I have worked hard, have
completed 5 years of
honours with a double law
degree. Though I’m getting
job offers, I really don’t want
to start at the very bottom
Confident – because I have 5
years of honours with a
double law degree I feel
confident I will be able to
find a job
Independent – There isn’t a
lot of support available to
help me find the type of job
I am looking for, so I need
to take matters into my own
hands
Determined - I need to
network, call every firm I am
interested in working for,
send my CV until I find
something
FEEL

5. A soon-to-be Masters Graduate with high-class
honours and a double law degree, driven and
extremely intelligent needs a way to find a job in
line with their goals
