Google User Experience Research: $75 - $100 pro Stunde?

Mai 24th, 2007 | by Karl Kamino |

Nachdem ich gelesen hatte, dass man als Blogger User $100 die Stunde verdienen kann, hab mich gerade einmal als Kandidat für Google’s User Experience Research beworben . Vielleicht bietet sich dadurch auch einmal die Möglichkeit in die Höhle des Löwen zu schauen und etwas über neue Features zu erfahren…

Hier der Beitrag auf den ich gestoßen war:

Test Blogger and We’ll Love You and Pay You

You can help us out and make money just by using Blogger! From time to time at Blogger we run usability studies to make sure that we’re on the right track with all the new features we’re working on.

If playing with Blogger for an hour or so and making up to $100 sounds like something you’d like to do, please sign up here. Have more questions? Read the FAQ. You don’t even have to live near Mountain View, CA to participate.

Hier noch ein älterer Beitrag zur Google Base User Experience Research für Google Base User:

…As a User Experience Researcher, my job is to work with the rest of the Base team to make sure that we understand the ways in which Google Base works well for you, our users, and the ways in which it doesn’t work for you. This helps us make well-informed decisions about what to work on next. We try to understand how people use Google Base in different ways. We read the conversations in the discussion forum, and we pay close attention to the what the blogosphere has to say. We also run usability studies, where we invite people in to our labs to try out new or existing features. We are interested in hearing what they have to say, but we’re even more interested in observing what they actually do. We watch the steps they take to complete a task, and with special eye trackers, we can even see what part of the screen they look at. We try to figure out why people are having difficulty, and then we come up with changes that make things easier. Of course, we also test those changes, to make sure our initial hunches were right!

If you would like to participate in a user study, you can sign up at www.google.com/usability, or drop us an email at feedback-base@google.com.

Wenn man kein Blogger oder Google Base User ist, aber andere Google Services nutzt (sprich jedermann) kann man sich bei Google auch auf Eigeninitiative bewerben. Dafür gibt es glaub ich auch ca. $75 die Stunde.

Hier gehts direkt zur Bewerbung für die Google User Experience Research. Den Fragebogen auszufüllen dauert nur ca. 3min. …

Wer weitere Fragen zum Programm hat kann sich auch die FAQs durchlesen. Dort werden unheimlich wichtige Fragen zu der Forschungsarbeit geklärt. Zum Beispiel:

Does it involve having electrodes attached to my body?

No. Sorry.
