Problem 1: Waterfall models of development do not work;

too many unknowns making it impossible to accurately define requirements at the outset.

Alan Cooper, software designer and programmer; the “Father of Visual Basic"

Challenge: If we want users to like our software we should design it to behave like a likeable person: respectful, generous and helpful.

Interaction Design

Interaction

Concept Statement

Interview Connect allows job seekers and recruiters to post practice interview questions, answer, and receive feedback from users. This service prepares job seekers with interview preparation tailored to their desired career path and connects them to a network of appropriate recruiters. Job seekers can gain insight into what recruiters are looking for and recruiters can provide this information in order to improve the quality of candidates.

The system provides a chat-room styled platform for a user of either status to pose an interview question and receive feedback from users which can receive “upvotes” to award points to the original user that posted the question or answer. Users can unlock profile badges at certain point levels to be displayed on their profile to gain credibility and appeal to recruiters. The website features an interview “Question of the Day,” and the ability to search for interview questions based on topics or keywords.

Contextual Inquiry

Understanding the users through:

• Interviews
• Observations
• Data collection

Contextual Analysis

Analyzing the collected data in order to:

• Understand user needs
• Identify categories of system features
• Extract interaction design requirements

Build Professional Network

Connect with other job-seekers and recruiters

System allows users to connect with other individuals in forum-like setting [AFB2, ACC4]

System allows users to request to private message other users so that connections between job seeker-and-job seekers, job seeker-and-job recruiter, and job recruiter-and-job recruiter. [AFA1-5]

Affordability and Availability

Free and quick sign up

Users can create free accounts in a matter of minutes. [ADB2]

Not restricted to college students

Users of any age and experience can create accounts, regardless of collegiate background. [ADA9]

Functional

Examples of Successful Interviews

Users can learn from other users' posted video responses

Allow users to watch and read feedback on other video responses so that they have real examples of successful interviews. [ADA11]

Rationale: User said that it was hard to prepare for interviews without knowing what a successful interview even looked like.

Constructive Feedback

Users can grade other users' video responses

Provide a rubric with quantifiable and qualitative questions to grade user interview videos [ADE4, ADE5, ADE7]

Note: potential design consideration is that rubric should provide criteria, 1 - 5 grading scale, and comment justifications
