My Work in Action
Interview 360: Preparing High School Students for Their First Jobs
I worked closely with this client’s Corporate Social Responsibility team at a time when the company was undergoing a significant repositioning as a digital-first player. While that shift was happening, many of the social impact programs we served were still being delivered in very traditional, analog ways.
Our work focused on education, employment, and entrepreneurship across Latin America. As we stepped back and looked at where we could make the biggest difference, one gap stood out clearly: first-time job seekers—especially high school students in Argentina—who struggled with job interviews simply because they’d never had the chance to practice them.
This was a pro-bono initiative; the team needed something creative, meaningful, and within budget. Virtual Reality—still new at the time—opened the door. I led early ideation and prototyping for Interview 360, an immersive VR experience that enabled students to practice realistic interview scenarios in a safe, repeatable way.
I helped shape the story and concept to secure leadership buy-in. The experience was later launched by the Corporate Citizenship team and was received very positively, becoming both a social impact win and a proof point for practical innovation.
Design Thinking techniques used:
- Human-centered problem framing
- Opportunity mapping across social impact pillars
- Experience storytelling & scenario design
- Rapid prototyping (low-cost, high impact)
- Immersive learning storyboarding (VR)
- Internal crowdsourcing & volunteer enablement
Outcome
A scalable, immersive VR experience that helped first-time job seekers practice real interview scenarios, strengthened Accenture’s digital citizenship positioning, activated local creative ecosystems, and proved that meaningful innovation doesn’t require massive budgets—just clarity, imagination, and the courage to prototype.
