Hello members,
thank you SO much for helping me out here. Your replies were all
indeed very helpful.
These positions are offered by two different companies. The tech
tester job is at the largest pension company here. With alot of
career opportunities. The tech writer job is at a company that is a
Ali,
Lucky you, to have just graduated and both of those opportunities available.
I envy you :)
Here UXD/IA aren't too strong yet, so there are almost no direct
possibilities, and no local university programs that I'm aware of. That
said, I rather serendipitously accepted a Technical Writing
What about some info about the control(s) you want to give help for?
Is it a helptip system or a help guide you want to provide? In the
first case, I won't think of too much content: it is not the right
context for a multi-line tip. I like the idea of a more link but
I'd think of a different
Avoid non-standard interactions. Ctrl click is a very advanced
non-standard one and is mainly based OS interfaces (and even there,
it's not a standard!). These interactions don't work on the web.
I liked the analysis of Smugmug Dan did and I totally agree with him.
I would also consider with
I loved it. thanks

Hi,
My company is developing an Adobe Air-based e-commerce application, the
client has requested we have a third party evaluate and certify its
usability. I've contacted several experts and companies that provide this
service, but none has been able to help me, since the user interface is in
I'd follow Alan Cooper's advice on this one: Make the interface give
the user data instantly, like the view screen fighter pilots use.
Make a toolbar that gives the user these messages. The user rolls
over a tool and the message toolbar lets him/her know what the button
is for.
Optimally your
I'm interested in the answer too. A year back I was offered the
chance to apply for a technical writing job after the HR of a tech
firm found out I had a few weeks of experience in wire framing with
Visio for real projects.
I turned down the interview thinking they misunderstood the role I
played
In the recent issue of Interactions magazine there is an article on
Innovation. While it may not be exactly what is seeked out here, it
definitely gives a good insight into what it means to be innovative
and also some strategies and pointers to the company adopting that.

Hi Ali,
My 2 cents as a hiring manager. . .
Evaluate the positions on a few different things.
Which position jazzes you the most. To transition into the role you
eventually want you need to also show that you are a good employee,
hard worker, fast learner, dedicated etc. An education in UCD

moderation queue, I%u2019m leaving it unedited, it was supposed to

It's a little unclear of what you mean by the technical tester
position you're being offered is about because you say
The Secrets of the 2008 Campaign is an excellent read, but there's a
really screwy navigation flaw.
When you get done with each chapter (which are divided into pages much
longer than my screen), you can't just click go to next chapter or
something. You have to remember what chapter you're on
Best helptips are no helptips: I do not agree with this just
because sometimes we are asked to solve usability issues generated by
others' UI designs. I don't see why we should provide an help system
if we recognise that the UI is not that natural and easy-to-use ;-)
For the legacy design, i
Dude, that rules.
I love how the hand points a finger for the switch screen mode rollovers.

Hiya,
Folks interested in this topic might like to read Lane Halley's
recent journal post at http://tinyurl.com/5t6m4y. She makes some
really coherent points there, IMHO!
Also, I thought that Alan Cooper's keynote presented at the Agile
2008 conference was pretty ground-breaking. And it may well
