Briefing

To brief our users we wanted to give them a solid understanding of what our site is used for without giving too much information about how the site works. There were two parts to our test. In the first part the user was a recent college graduate wanting to create a resume on our site. We let them know that our site was used to create resumes that are enhanced with added media. For the second portion the user played the role of an employer that was viewing an already completed resume of a job applicant. This portion was pretty self explanatory and did not need much briefing. Overall our briefing was short and to the point in order to let the users figure out as much as possible for themselves, thus giving us better feedback.

User Feedback

Feedback from Prototyping Day 1 (Iteration 1)

User 1:

• Clicked the add button to edit existing school
• Where did the paperclips go? No visible way to add supplemental content
• User clicked the boilerplate text saying "and then add supplemental content" to attach the video
• Didn't know if he could edit school by clicking on boilerplate, thought needed to click add
• Where will "add another" put the new school?
• Add another: should edit if there aren't any existing

User 2:

• Correctly edited contact info
• Hesitation for choosing where to click to edit school
• Trouble finding attach button; once it was clear that paperclip was icon, he figured it out.
• No problems on dialog
• Difficulty finding how to attach
• More affordances that text is editable.

User 3:

• Pressed enter to dismiss editing, also tried blurring element
• Hesitated on where to click to edit education
• Started attach video task too early
• Visible feedback needed after adding supplement
• "Inspire picture editing" -- make it clear that they should upload a picture
• Allow pictures to be links (instead of uploads?)
• Didn't use the "copy text" button, manually selected and copied
• Mailed link to himself to save.
• Clicked video text to play it, didn't recognize slate icon
• Data entry is straightforward
• Do extraneous "add another" (without filling in any text) disappear on blur?
