NEED PIZZA MONEY?
USER TESTERS
VisionPoints, the Experience Designers is looking for a few new user-testers for website and blog audits. $25 for a half-hour of clicking around a website!
For this position we are not looking for people with experience in our field. We keep contact information for many different user profiles on hand (such as: very web savvy, light web user, heavy blog reader, never read a blog, frequent web shopper, hobbies and interests, different fields of work and study, etc.). When a site that fits your profile comes up we contact you to set a day for the site test.
NOTE: Tests are conducted IN-PERSON. This is NOT remote/ virtual testing. Testers must live near north Wilmington, Delaware, and be willing to drive here for user tests. Our needs vary, but at present we’d expect to call on you once a month. We pay $25.00 per user test.
If this occasional work (great for pizza money!) might interest you, email us—visionpoints (at) visionpoints (dot) net—with your name and contact info, a compelling cover letter, and a résumé (pasted within the body of the email, NOT an attachment); some information about how you use the Internet, and any online links that might help us to get to know you better to place you for testing purposes (such as: blog address, if you write one, web address if you have a website, and social networking names we can find you under—Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc.). NO telephone calls, please.
Unlike most jobs for this one we are interested in your hobbies or online interests, so if you are writing a novel, love to garden, or enjoy classical music, for instance, please mention these non-work interests in your cover. That way we’ll know that when a site for writers comes up you’re just the person to review it, even though that’s not your day-to-day activity.
We will not use your contact information for any purposes other than stated here, and if your profile won’t suit our needs we’ll let you know promptly.
