[JOB] Worrell Needs a User Experience Designer

Garrick Van Buren — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:41:17 +0000

This is easily my 2nd favorite job posting ever on MNteractive.

“We are seeking a User Experience (UX) Designer…We want you to write the description for this position. For lack of a better term, we’ll call this a reverse job description. Your description should be perfectly tailored to you. This is your opportunity to inspire us.“

In addition to the reverse job description, there’s a few things they’re looking for – here’s the checklist:

Write “UX 2009″ in the subject line of your email.
Your reverse job description
A cover letter
A résumé
A few relevant work samples
A link to your website, if applicable

To get you started, I’ll take care of the first one for you

Interest in Organizing WordCamp in the Twin Cities

I’m hoping to stir up some interest in organizing a WordCamp here in the Twin Cities. I’ll “run point” but could use some other enthusiasts to assist.

We have a thriving interactive community that presumably should be interested in things WordPress. Any takers?

The Unofficial Minneapolis Mobile User Experience Week

Garrick Van Buren — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 00:54:09 +0000

As coincidence would have it, next week we have two local events – both admission free – covering the ‘mobile’ internet.

First, on the advertising side is Space150′s Mobile Marketing Workshop, it’s all afternoon on Monday Aug 11th with presentations from lots-o-places including; Nokia, Weather.com, and Yahoo!.

Then, on Tues we’re having the regular MNteractive User Experience Meetup at the Monte Carlo, 5pm. Topic: the mobile user experience.

No agenda, just a wide open topic. I’m hoping we’ll have respresentation from DoApps, FanChatter, Refactr, and everyone that’s working on low-bandwidth optimized or iPhone versions of their apps.

Update:
Big thanks to every that attended for making this our biggest event in memory, and to Kathryn Pfriem from The Creative Group for picking up the tab. It’s been a week and I’m still stunned with the conversation and mix of attendees.
