最近常常看到有人在網上談起web設計規范這個話題，而這半年中ISD也在如火如荼地制定著各種規范，所以我們覺得有必要和大家分享一下我們這半年來我們遇到的問題和經驗.

就ISD來說，制定規范的初衷在以下三個方面
1.品牌風格在探索中被明確，品牌備忘和梳理勢在必行。
2.產品線日益豐富，后續設計一致性和可循性的要求被提高。
3.公司機構壯大，新人不斷流入，溝通和執行效率急待提升。

在這之前，我們已經擁有許多零散的規范，但多為某一樣特定產品的制作標準，例如給CP外包制作時的品質規范等,而對ISD四大業務的梳理(QQ會員＼QQ空間＼QQ 秀和QQ音樂)，實際上是從08年中旬才開始的。
半年多的時間，我們陸續完成了:

QQ空間完整的portal線上規范、空間模板規范，以及細節到空間loading、掛件制作的規范；

 

QQ音樂針對portal和miniportal的線上規范；

 

QQ秀改版后的新portal線上規范；

 

以及QQ會員改版后整理出的一套PPT格式的設計規范；

 

這些規范為我們帶來了便利，指明了方向，提高了效率，甚至一定程度上為設計團隊贏得了認可…白紙黑字果然是解決意見分歧的最好方式…好吧，付出總會有回報的，規范的好處想必大家也都了解，這里就不繁述了。
重點在于，我們的規范還可以更規范一些：

1．別把規范做成了VIS手冊。
目前我們的規范中還有太多華麗的詞藻，類似花大篇幅介紹網站的配色方案這樣的方式，把規范做成了花架子，幾乎沒有人會去用到它。我們的設計師大都受過平面設計公司的影響，一說到做規范，總是會下意識地做成企業VIS手冊，想必這VIS手冊里面的門道大家也都了解一二，那都是忽悠客戶用的…當然，我們不是排斥裝飾，但如果把過多無用的規范整理成華麗的效果圖，或是無中生有的編織許多美麗的花圈，顯然是不符合ISD的現狀的，規范應該更加務實。

2．別讓規范拖累了你。
我們在制定每一個規范的初期，都很擔心規范的制定會限制了設計師的創作，所以我們沒有把規范做到細無巨細，類似文字的左右邊距這樣的規范，其實是有非常大的不確定性的。所以我們還是倡導在規范中加入一條設計意識的規范，比方說，在設計中的找對齊，以及在設計后的去繁求簡。只有大家的設計意識被規范了后，設計品質才會真正實現質的突破。當然，一些靈活的規范，例如：可定制式的模塊規范也可以很好的解決這些問題。

3．規范也要有“試用期”。
在規范執行的時候，我們總是會遇到一些別扭的條目，讓我們進退兩難，有些設計師就干脆直接把規范給“擴展”了。確實，我們一般都是在關鍵設計完成后，來制定規范，很多條目并沒有經歷過各種情況的考驗。所以，如果實踐是檢驗真理的唯一標準，那么就也給規范一個試用期吧。

4．不要忽視了規范的用戶體驗。
規范做好了，是給大家用的，除了不要用過多無用的裝飾來干擾規范的可讀性，對于敏捷的互聯網設計團隊來說，“目錄準確”“標識圖容易懂”“文件好找到”等，也是我們所不容忽視的，為什么許多規范在上線后，我們的設計師都記不住地址，是不是很多時候，我們的規范倒不如一個PSD源文件來得便捷些。

5．規范的規范。
說完了前面的這些感想，我們理所應當地想到，對于ISD這樣一個產品豐富的部門，我們的規范是不是也應該有一個統一的標準，而不是像現在這樣，規范分類不同、規范描述不同、圖文標注不同、文件格式不同…
看樣子，想要更專業，還需要付出更多的努力…
這些就是ISD在摸著石頭過河中的一些簡單的心得，對于規范，我們淺嘗但絕不停止，之所以把這些思考寫出來，是想大家共同來關注這個互聯網設計規范這個話題，希望大家多多指正，多多交流。

According to a new survey the number of board-level appointments with packages in excess of 200,000 made by employers using retained headhunters rose by 4.5% over the past 12 months. The study also highlighted that the amount of money employers paid for filling such positions increased by 21.7%, as employers looked to fill top positions ahead of an economic recovery.

Employers in healthcare, financial services, consumer and media sectors faced the biggest increases, while those in the industrial, telecoms and technology, and professional services sectors also contributed to the increased spend at this level. However, the cost of hiring in the 100,000 to 200,000 bracket fell by 2%, despite a 5% growth in the number of assignments. At this level, fees only rose in the industrial market, healthcare and consumer sectors, with financial and professional services down, according to the study, says Novo Executive Search and Selection, experts in executive search and executive recruitment.

The strong growth rates at board and leadership level contrast starkly with low or negative growth below 200,000 in all other sectors except industrial. This suggests that the salary level of assignments at which executive search is most valuable to clients is moving to a new, higher base level. Fees derived by retained headhunters for public sector and government placements worth between 100,000 and 200,000 fell, those worth more than 200,000 also decreased. Overall, the number of executive search assignments rose by 5.3% over the last 12 months and the net fee income for retained headhunters grew by an average of 17.7%, or 15% on a like-for-like basis. This took the sector into positive territory for the first time since 2008. Losing top talent is executives' greatest concern, cited by 59% of those surveyed, with 21% of those in the private sector planning to offer pay rises to retain staff.

Latest monthly recruitment totals published by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation with KPMG show a significant slowdown in the rate of both temporary and permanent appointments in September 2011.

As concerns continue to rise about the continued economic uncertainty, particularly in the Eurozone and America, and growth remains flat this is perhaps no great surprise.

For employees facing the loss of their jobs in the public sector as well as the private sector, for new graduates and school leavers looking for their first jobs and for everyone struggling to deal with austerity measures and rising energy and food prices the statistics can only add to the pressure they are under.

The survey revealed that September had seen the slowest increases in permanent placements and temporary billings since August 2009, the weakest rise in job vacancies for almost two years, that pay pressures remain muted and there had been a stronger improvement in candidate availability.

Growth of short-term staff availability was at a seven-month high and the fear is that it will not be long before job availability ceases to expand, at however slow a rate, and begins to contract.

REC chief executive Kevin Green commented that the survey results emphasised employers' diminishing confidence in the economic future. He added that this was exacerbated by weak consumer confidence, leading to people staying in their current role rather than changing jobs.

Although new jobs continue to be created in the private sector they are nowhere near the level to compensate for the loss of public sector jobs and also are affecting young job seekers disproportionately.

He called for a National Insurance holiday as a means of encouraging small and medium-sized companies to take on young people and for the Bank of England to resume quantitative easing to help kick start the economy.

Another REC survey provided a ray of optimism for those in the professional recruitment industry, however. It found that 93 per cent of clients are satisfied or very satisfied with the performance of the recruitment agencies they use and only three per cent of employers are dissatisfied.

This suggests that job seekers should not give up hope, but seek to improve the odds in their favour by using the services of a professional recruitment agency.

To get a foot in the door it is worth being open to both contract and temporary work, both of which tend to be most widely available via the agencies, and to starting off in an administrative, back office, PA or a clerical role regardless of their qualifications.

Good specialist agencies tend to have established, long term relations with the employers who are their clients as well as the ability to provide advice and guidance to candidates on their presentation of themselves and their CVs, all of which can help job seekers in their search.

Make no mistake about it, the variety of construction industry jobs open to interested applicants can be mind boggling. The country's construction sector is very broad; no longer is it limited to a class of skilled labourers who handle physical work. Instead, construction industry jobs today are scattered into specialized areas, with each group of workers assigned to handle specific responsibilities and duties. Gone are the days of the majority of construction workers coming straight out of high school as well. These days, most construction industry jobs call for extensive educational backgrounds and training.

One thing that hasn't changed though is the danger associated with the construction industry. Indeed, many construction jobs involve a significant level of danger, including working from heights, operating heavy machinery, handling hazardous materials, working with electricity and more. Although the leaps and bounds made in the health and safety aspect of the construction the sector are laudable, it's hard to deny that the industry can still be dangerous. In fact, statistics show that more than 1,000 construction employees fall victim to accidents in the workplace. This is why extensive training and experience is often required from job applicants.

Here's a look at the different construction industry jobs you will see at any construction recruitment agency.

Bricklayers

Although it may sound like a simple task, bricklaying is one of the most crucial jobs in any construction project. A high degree of skill is required to handle this responsibility, as the proper laying of bricks is crucial to the structural integrity of a building.

Metal Worker

Metal workers are tasked with the construction, maintenance and repair of various metal materials such as steel rods, steel sheets and metal hollow tubes. Metal workers must be knowledgeable in welding and assembling metal products-something which requires years of experience to do correctly.

Painters

Although it may sound simple, painting can be very difficult, especially when specific paints or large projects are involved. Technology has also changed the tools and equipment used in painting-it's no longer just about knowing how to use a paintbrush and mixing paints.

Construction managers

Considered as the leader of a construction team, construction managers posses years of experience in the industry, and are knowledgeable in almost all aspects of construction. Most managers have worked their way to the top, giving them valuable insight into the difficulties of those working under them.

Instead, construction industry jobs today are scattered into specialized areas, with each group of workers assigned to handle specific responsibilities and duties.

While some tough job interview questions take us off guard, others we can see coming a mile away. How we answer job interview questions will make the difference between getting and not getting the job. We all have questions that we'd rather not be asked during an interview. But how can one prepare completely for a tough interview?

The answer to this question really comes down to intense preparatory work. In a nutshell, do your homework. Make sure that you know your resume thoroughly and expect questions to come from your work history. Also, expect questions about the company you want to work for and the type of future you want in that company, and finally, expect questions about you. You should use several large lists of questions in preparation for the interview. Below, you will find a list of tough job interview questions, which should be helpful in preparation for the job interview.

While the questions below are pretty standard and can be expected at most job interviews, you should also create your own questions. In creating your questions in preparation for an interview, you really need to sit down and think through what you would ask if you were the interviewer. Remember that the person interviewing you has a job to do as well. If you can provide a good answer to most of the questions below, and to the questions you have created, you have increased the probability of obtaining the job you are seeking.

Obviously during a job interview, regardless of your personality, you need to be congenial and polite. Try not to appear nervous as well. Most importantly, try to appear confident in yourself but not to the point of appearing cocky. Remember, the interviewer is not only trying to select the best candidate for the job, they also want to be sure that you will be compatible with other employees you will be working with. Also, remember that the interviewer is trying their best to find any red flags that may be present in your past work history.

The following is a list of questions you can expect at most job interviews. You most likely will not be asked all of these questions, but you can expect some of them. Many of these questions come from About.com, and some were created by our staff.

Are you overqualified for this job?

What can you do for this company?

What do you know about this company?

How do you plan to move up within our company?

What is the highest level you wish to be promoted within our company?

Job Interview Questions: The Future

What are you looking for in your next job?

What are your career goals for the next five years and ten years?

How do you plan to achieve those goals?

How long would you like to stay with our company and why?

What are your salary requirements - both short-term and long-term?

What will you do if you don't get this position?

Once again, the key to a successful job interview is preparation. When you are completely prepared, you will tend to be less nervous. Of course, it is highly likely you will be presented with a question or two that you did not expect. This is why preparation also entails having the knowledge base that you can expect the interviewer will tap into.

Here I am not talking about the knowledge needed to do the job. That should be a given anyway, otherwise you would have not been asked to be at the interview. Here I am talking about knowing yourself and your attitudes, and being able to present your attitudes in a way the interviewer can appreciate. It does not hurt to let the interviewer know what really makes you tick, if the interview goes in that direction.

Make sure that you display an enthusiastic attitude. Make sure you present to the interviewer a willingness to learn and a desire to advance in the company you are about to potentially work for. You do not want to appear as if you are lacking seriousness and definitely do not appear cavalier. Try to appear enthusiastic and positive in a mature and professional way. If you are naturally an enthusiastic and positive type of person, then half the battle is won. The point is to be your self, but try to present the best of who you are.

Remember this, many employers prefer a less educated candidate with fewer credentials who is bright and willing to learn, over one who is more prepared but lacks the proper attitude. A good example of this is the entrepreneur who wants to launch a new business. For him or her who is starting a new venture, hiring someone who is bright and has the right attitude is extremely important. More important then previous education. In this case, the entrepreneur is looking for someone who is not afraid to take risks and is very much goal oriented. Here it is very important that you display to the interviewer your ability to work as part of a team. The 9 to 5 type worker who expects to work basically the same hours 5 days a week would not fit well here. And the interviewer needs to know this.

To conclude, in the end, most interviewers are looking for the right attitude for the job they are trying to fill. If you also have the right credentials along with the right attitude, then your chances are increased tremendously. If you can answer most of the above questions, display an enthusiastic attitude, and present yourself in the best possible way, this should result in you obtaining the job you are seeking.
