We don't make consumer products, hence no need for a User Centered Design development process.

This is an obvious strawman’s argument (one may call it even simply
bullshit). Apart from ‘users’ not being equivalent to ‘consumers’:
Your products are still used by *humans*.

Hiring junior/midlevel IA's immediately in NYC

Hey all,
we're hiring a few junior/midlevel IA's in NYC.

- Your hiring test is basically this: we chat about a feature, you
wireframe it out in a day (Visio), it rocks. You're hired.
- You need to be physically in NYC and legally allowed to work in the
USA.
- We work on mobile UI (iPhone, Android, ...) and websites so familiarity
with phone UI is great.

Email me with resume and we'll talk.

Cheers,
Peter

Global navigation: persistent or not across all pages?

What you're referring to is called 'transitional volatility' -- how
much the navigation changes as you use the service. In the key study
on the topic, it was found that a little bit of change, consistent
change, is good and better than a lot of change or no change at all.

Here's a summary of the study:

To test yours, you can essentially recreate the test used in the
study.

Click to enlarge

If we talk about a new online user than a link should be in text form
as "click here to enlarge" or any similar textual indication.

For a regular online user : We can use more interactive icons /
buttons or symbols to indicate them that he needs to click here for
the related action.....

But still some kind of textual indication should be there because
some users may use text based browser or may not even see images on
normal browsers also due to slow internet speed.
