How do I prepare for it? Do you have any tips? --You should go to any interview that you are invited to, because it’s one of the best ways to learn how to have a professional conversation with someone you don’t know. ]]> jobs working communication https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:724d5f3453e3/ 2016-01-28T18:08:27+00:00 https://medium.com/user-experience-design-1/facebook-and-how-uis-twist-your-words-4ceedc5fd93#.87tc3yjpr matthewmcvickarDesigners must be aware of their role in social UIs and give the same thought to social dynamics that they would to legibility, scalability and others. They must be aware of what social friction they are introducing or reducing, and they need to ask themselves, “How will this UI make my user look to others?” and “How will this UI affect the quality of social interactions?”]]> ui design communication chat https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:81ecf08e0b6f/ 2015-10-10T20:48:05+00:00 http://nosmag.org/screen-backlash-is-a-disability-issue/ matthewmcvickarSocial media and smartphones are just a form of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Clicking the “like” button on Facebook is no different than clicking the “like” button on a speech generation device. The different is how many people can hear what you have to say. People who were previously isolated because of mobility or speech issues can find friends with shared experiences and interests. They get to be less alone. People who oppose the use of screens aren’t trying to silence disabled people. The problem is that they aren’t thinking about us at all. When confronted with what smartphones can do for disabled people, anti-screen folks will claim that they are not talking about us. The thing is, when they look at a café and see people using their phones, there is no way to distinguish between the people who use phones as disability aids and people who just happen to find speaking through social media a perfectly adequate or even preferable mode of communication. A false hierarchy is formed, and of course, the ways some disabled people speak is at the bottom of it.]]> autism communication internet https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:e575c5264553/ 2014-04-19T05:30:33+00:00 http://frankchimero.com/blog/three-things-to-say/ matthewmcvickar“I usually xyz, unless you recommend something else…” “Can you say that in more/different words?” “I don’t know.” Good advice for any professional or non-intimate situation, not just ‘in the city’ as Frank writes.]]> advice business communication https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:cfdb82d8ed22/ 2013-10-13T05:38:58+00:00 http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/98-kanye-west-jimmy-kimmel-interview/ matthewmcvickarKanye’s decade-long solo career has been a struggle between the non-stop ideas running through his brain and his skills at verbalizing them through a variety of communication obstacles, whether self-created or forced upon him.]]> music race media fashion communication tv https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:a89af13a364f/ 2013-09-25T19:55:59+00:00 http://www.taramohr.com/2013/09/before-you-send-your-next-professional-email-read-this/ matthewmcvickar personality email business psychology communication https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:29566d030edb/ 2013-09-03T01:00:38+00:00 http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/07/29/130729fa_fact_gawande matthewmcvickarWe yearn for frictionless, technological solutions.
