Employers Should Explicitly Define the Job Position for Interface Designers
8/4/2009 11:09 AM By Catherine TInterface Designers are a widely varied group of professionals. While a top Interface Designer could probably function well regardless of the industry or project, you should save yourself as much time as possible evaluating, interviewing, and hiring professionals. Of all the tips for Interface Designers evaluation, explicitly defining the job position or project details is the most important.
Whether you are attempting to find the best professional yourself or using one of the top sources for Interface Designers, like ArtisanTalent.com, explaining the job specifics as precisely as possible should help reduce the talent pool to a manageable number. Successful Interface Design demands an effective combination of website aesthetics with intelligent information design and organization.
Most agree that the best user Interface Designer portfolios are those wherein the designer -
- Knew the audience,
- Used consistent, simple navigation methods,
- Employed conventional icons and terms that all users understand, and
- Implemented simplified, obvious (to the user) steps to retrieve the information desired.
By explicitly defining the job position and results you, the client, wants eliminates wasteful time discussing project generalities during an interview. You and the candidate can concentrate on the process and end results that match your wishes. Saving valuable time for specific issues are among the most valuable interview tips for both you and the candidates you evaluate.
