We're looking for a unique individual to join us full time at User Interface Engineering in our north suburban Boston office. Responsibilities include teaching courses, consulting work with our clients (including paper prototyping and usability testing of software and web sites), writing articles, presenting at conferences, and more. Some travel is required. This position does not directly involve designing interfaces. User Interface Engineering is one of the world's leading consulting firms specializing in usability for software products and web sites. In addition to consulting, we teach courses and conduct original research on topics related to usability. We publish a bi-monthly newsletter and hold an annual conference. See our web site at http://www.uie.com for more information. We're an equal opportunity employer. Ok, enough about us. Let's talk about you. Because we're an unconventional company, we seek an unconventional person. You may be of any experience level with usability (including none) but must have some form of hands-on experience in product or web site development for a commercial organization, whether as a software developer, technical writer, project manager, or marketing specialist. We want someone who's worked in the real world and understands the harsh realities of product development, but hasn't lost their enthusiasm for creating better products. Ideally, you have the following qualities: Strong oral and written communication skills, a sense of humor, flexible, self-motivating, organized, and creative. You're able to follow a project to completion and you pay attention to detail. You have good people skills and the ability to lead by persuasion rather than dominance. You're comfortable with public speaking. You are reasonably proficient with numbers (such as spreadsheets, budgets, and statistics). You like to learn new things and aren't afraid to admit ignorance or ask for help. You'd enjoy the challenges of working in a small, fast-paced, often chaotic entrepreneurial environment, without all the structure and resources of a large corporation. You understand that not all rewards are financial - it's important to you to enjoy the type of work you do and the people you're working with. There is no specific background required - we will train the right individual. Experience in any of the areas below is helpful, and you must be willing to grow in these areas as well. * Classroom teaching or public speaking * Course development * Dealing directly with customers (even waiting tables would count!) * Sales and negotiating * Marketing * Finance, budgeting * Usability testing * Software/web site development * Writing articles If you're interested, briefly describe your experience in the above areas (keeping in mind that "none" is an acceptable answer) and your level of interest in learning more. Send us a resume if you have one, but it's fine if you don't. But be sure to include your mailing address and phone number. Also, please answer the following questions: 1) How do you define success for yourself? 2) Why do you think you might want to work with us? 3) How do you feel about business travel? 4) Do you consider yourself a risk-taker? 5) Describe a day (or week) at your ideal job And now your turn: What are 5 questions you have about our company or this position? Send your responses and any additional questions or information to Carolyn Snyder at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please, no phone calls or recruiters. ========================================================== Jared M.
