We heard about UX, so we decided to hire one

There seems to be a lot of hiring for UX professionals, now, in the New York City area.

I was looking for an opprtunity much closer to home and this company was accomodating, since I do work full-time.  But I was shocked, even though, in the past I had suspected that a few of the companies I had interviewed with had never hired a UX professional before.  That was never really my concern, but this company, did not know very much about user experience.

Tell us your fieldwork War Story

You may have seen that we started a series devoted to fieldwork War Stories on our blog. As I wrote at the launch of the series, "These experiences – the crazy household, the dog that does his business on your shoes, the GPS failure – are inevitable and are often (at least in hindsight) hilarious. Exchanging these stories is a way of socializing our technique and creating learning opportunities for both tellers and listeners.

Examples of engaging privacy policies / terms of engagement

Seen any privacy policies, credit card policies, terms of engagement, service agreements etc that don't just make your eyes glaze over and turn the page?

We're looking for examples (web based or paper based) where people manage to make this legalese heavy, text heavy interaction a positive one, or at least one that people don't just skip over.


Thanks!
