If we could go back to when we graduated from design school when we were so hungry for advice and wondered what the corporate design world was like and how were we EVER going to break into it, we would have handed over this series of 5 podcasts to our younger selves.

We would have loved someone to take us by the hand, sit us down and give us some game-changing advice. Well, here it is, an ode to our younger selves, on a silver platter, with hopes that we can ease the pain of younger designers.Sit tight and learn what to put on a resume when you have no experience, how to nail your interviews by reading the room and prepping for the 10 most asked interview questions and how to answer them.
