Hello members, I recently graduated in user centered design and have been to a few job interviews. It is almost impossible to get a job as a user experience designer, interaction designer or a usability consultant since many of the corporations here wants to hire someone with several years of experience. NOKIA has promised me a job as a User Interface Designer since I wrote my thesis with them, but that position is still not open. Whenever they have an open position they will contact me, and this can take up to several months.
I now have the option between choosing a technical writer position or a technical tester position. Both positions contain cooperating with a user experience group but does not allow me to be `creative`. As a technical writer you are given a document and you need to ensure that the documentation is user friendly. In the technical tester position you test a software using a test programme. (usability) My aim is to work as an interaction designer or user experience analyst in the future and therefore I would like to know what position of these two would be wise to choose? As a recent graduate I dont have the real corporate culture experience. So if any of you experienced veterans could give me some advice I would be delighted. Thanks Ali ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
