The Usability Profession

July 6, 2009 – submitted by Maria Schiffler of Sacramento, CA

Question: I hold diversified degrees and multi-industry professional experience as I switched my profession from Industrial banking to HCI. I am MBA(Finance) and MSc. in Analysis, Design & Management of ISs (LSE.UK). In total I have around 4 years of product designing experience in terms of functionality and graphics. I am now wondering if HFI CUA will benefit me in terms of knowledge and enhancing my skills in usability. I am working for a product based company.

Secondly, I'll also appreciate if you could also direct me to some good resources for enhancing my knowledge and skills.

Eric's response: Rubina, you certainly sound like a sharp person with a good foundation in analytic and creative thought. There is no question that the HFI training programs will be useful and that you will be able to manage the content well. Particularly in Pakistan, I think the HFI skills will be a very scarce and valuable commodity indeed.
