Comments on: Weekly Observations http://resistmedia.net/blog/2005/12/16/weekly-observations/ This is a blog about adventures in design, and sometimes other crap. My name is Beth Dean and I'm a web designer from Cleveland Ohio. I work for Progressive Insurance as a UX Developer.

If you win, you have a very specific job for a very specific organization. If you come in second, however, you actually get your pick of jobs across the world. Every second place contestant has cited the flood of job offers that came after they were off the show. That lets you pick from jobs that fit your skillset, your personality, etc. better. I know I sure as hell wouldn't work with Donald Trump or Martha Stewart. Of course, I also wouldn't subject myself to that process anyway, but that's just me.
