I would recommend you come along to the NUX monthly meetings, as this will allow you to meet a range of people passionate about usability and user experience in the North/North West of England.

I am sure this will provide some opportunities and ideas to explore and pursue, which should get your career officially launched!

Hopefully I will see you at an event soon..

Allow me to introduce myself.

After graduating in June 2008 with a 2.1 BSc (Hons) degree in Computing and IT with the Open University where my final course was ‘Fundamentals of Interaction Design’ tutored by Jo Wilson in Manchester I would now like to pursue a career in User Experience and Usability.

Whilst studying part time with the Open University I have been supporting young people, adults and senior citizens with disabilities and/or learning challenges with their College aspirations. This support included diagnostic testing for specific learning challenges and making practical use of Assistive Technologies and writing reports/user guides about these technologies for both the learners and their tutors.

I am keen to join the in User Experience and Usability scene in Manchester. What is the best approach to launch my in User Experience and Usability career particularly in this region? Is there any possibility of being a subject/participant anywhere in the North West, for example?

Thanking you in anticipation of your advice and guidance in relation to this matter.

Kind regards

Gail Bemrose
