Popular Majors for Aspiring Techies @ UBC
By: Jaehun Song
Tags: Students, Computer Science, Beginners Guide, University, Technology

It’s a decision that will impact the next four years of your life and potentially your entire career right? What’s the best choice to make here? What options are even out there? AHHHHHHHH.

What planning your future feels like

👋 Heyo, I’m Jaehun, currently in my fifth year studying Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, and those wild thoughts you saw above were questions I first had when applying for my major.

As you can see, I was pretty stressed out trying to research and evaluate the available options to find what would be the best fit for me.

The difficulty came from the fact that there really wasn’t any consolidated information anywhere about these majors, so from the outside it was hard to even know where to start your research!

Representation of my knowledge of majors before university

To prevent that sort of stress from ever happening to anyone else again, I’ve spent some time and research into compiling together a list of popular majors at UBC both relevant and applicable for entering the tech field.

I hope this will allow you to better understand all the available options and lead you to make the choice that is right for you!

Note: Do your own research too as things may change over time!

Computer Science 💻

A Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science (CPSC) is the most traditional and popular approach for students interested in software development.

“Trust the Natural Recursion” — The first lesson of Computer Science

What will I learn?

A Computer Science student’s core curriculum is focused around 3 branches:

Software Engineering Computer Systems Algorithmic and Data Structure Theory

CPSC students also have reserved seats to any Computer Science courses (you get priority over non CPSC majors), and as such have a greater opportunity to register in upper level industry topics (Machine Learning, AI, Databases…etc) which are quite popular.

Computer Science is offered in both the faculties of Science and Arts. Depending on the faculty you choose, you will also have to follow the requisite faculty’s general course requirements. I have listed links to both below.

Note: Science faculty has a significantly greater intake of CPCS students over the arts faculty

There are also a number of Combined Major options in BSc where you can incorporate several different fields with computer science if you are interested in multiple fields. Example: people interested in biotech or health tech often do a combined major in CPSC and a life science major.

Personal opinion: I quite enjoyed the material I learned from my CPSC courses. I will mention that CPSC is a HUGE major at UBC (take a look at UBC’s enrollment statistics). As a result, there does tend to be less of a student body identity. I recommend applying to clubs and events in order to make connections with other CPSC students!

PS: For those that have already completed an undergrad degree, UBC also offers a 2 year accelerated Computer Science BCS program.

Top 5 JavaScript Frameworks for 2021
By: Aniket Pal
Tags: Beginners Guide, Software Development, Framework, Web Development, JavaScript

Framework acts as the base on which software developer can build programs for specific platform. Every year many frameworks come and it becomes difficult to decide which is the best to start with. Now, programmers use different frameworks to develop specific application and websites among which, JavaScript is one of the most popular ones. Choosing a framework is not a cakewalk even for beginners, preferences will change with time but for now you can start with this !

Few years ago JavaScript was used for small changes but now companies use it for both frontend and backend. JS frameworks also make it possible for developers to code the application as device-responsive. It is one of the main reasons for its popularity when it comes to using a high-level machine language.

Tips to Learn Laravel — What is MVC?
By: Ming Gao
Tags: Web Development, Beginners Guide, Laravel, Tutorial

I hope this will help you to understand laravel basics before diving into tutorials. These are the basics you should know to learn Laravel.

Laravel is a PHP framework based on MVC pattern and this design pattern is being used in modern web frameworks like Python/Django and Ruby On Rails.

What is MVC? It’s Model-View-Controller. This is MVC design of Laravel Framework.

Laravel MVC Artichecture

I assume that you know what Request and Response are. If you don’t know what it is, please read my previous article.

https://gold2ragon.medium.com/for-absolute-web-beginners-871621468080

To make you understand easily, let’s assume that a Laravel website is a hospital. You’re a patient.

You visited the hospital. (You visited the website.)

First you will go to a Reception. (This is Routing.) He will hear basic requests from you and send you to an appropriate Department. (This is Controller.)

The department or a doctor(Controller) will listen to you details (Analyze Request in detail). If they already have experience in your disease they will give you a Recipe (View). Or they might have do research Data for your disease (Model). After they find it they will give you a Recipe.

Let me explain in Laravel again. If a user sends a request, Route handles the request and sends it to a controller which can manage the request. The controller which received the request from routing gets details from the request and sends a view as a response. Before sending a view it may work with the database.

I will explain other needed concepts in next blogs.
Gardening

Tags: Easy, Beginners Guide, Gardening Tips

A beautiful hobby to enjoy in your leisure time. You can plant vegetables, fruits and Flowers which you can eat at a later date and can also have a better management of your budget. As a beginner to gardening you need to keep 6 Tips in your mind

1.Decide what to grow:

It is very much important to select plants that are suitable according to your planting conditions, some plants needs a humid environment some need plentiful of sunlight some may need large amount of water for their proper growth. Your need to know more about your selected plants suitable environment as well as of your planting site so you can grow a healthy plants to your liking

from zedge

2. Water Requirement:

Every plant has different requirement of water and your timing of watering also effects the plants .You also need to know about the water is it salty or sweet .Is it suitable for the plant or not .Water as a major component for the growth of plant effects plants in more than one way e.g for the seeds germination ,for the budding of leaves and flowers etc. …

3. Start from a small area:

It is advisable to start gardening from a small scale .It helps you in minimizing the amount of money used during your Beginner days. It also helps in such a way as you can easily cultivate plants inside your home , in pots or some available soil .When at home you can easily tend to your needs as well as the plants needs.

After getting some experience you can later decide if you want to expand your gardening area.

4. Getting new Equipment:

It is much easier for the nutrients and water to get access to the roots of plants if we use equipment for the gardening. Some essentials include breathable water-resistant gloves, pruners, loppers, a garden fork, a hand trowel, a spade, a rake, a hoe, a hose with an adjustable nozzle, a watering wand or watering can and a wheelbarrow.

5. Using Fertilizer and Compost:

Fertilizers contains many essential nutrients required for the plant for their proper growth such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Calcium etc. …

Use of fertilizers can make a nutrient deficient soil to regain its lost nutrients. There are many types of Organic and inorganic fertilizers. There usage is to be done in a controlled amount as excess of anything is bad .

Use of Compost is also preferable as it has many positive effects i.e it helps in the retention of nutrients and water in soil. It also helps in keeping the soil together. Helps in modulation soil pH ,disease control etc. …

6. Crops Rotation:

As many are not familiar with this concept it is basically cultivating different plants in the same patch of Soil so that the soil will not become deficient in a specific nutrient. It increases soil chemical and biochemical capacity for the better. Growing same plants again and again attracts certain kind of insects that settles there so to prevent this, crop rotation is highly recommended.

Thats all you need to know in Beginner gardening Tips. Now you are ready to start your Hobby .Follow these Tips and Success is a Guarrante .
How to and where to start coding?

How to and where to start coding?

The world of coding is very welcoming, at times a bit over welcoming. There is so much information on so many topics, It can be overwhelming for beginners. So in these articles, I’ll try my best to clear some of the clouds and then give you guys a straight path, so that you guys don’t have to waste your time and repeat the same mistakes I did.

Which language should you start with?

So let us start by choosing a language. Trust me this is one of the easiest choice you need to make, but it's the most significant one.

If you are in college or you want to make a career in computer science, programming, and IT, I would suggest, start with C, C++, or Java. If you are in college and you are doing your engineering in a technical branch then you will be taught C at your college itself. All of them are well supported and you will have a lot of sources to get your doubts cleared. Java is also used in Android development, So learn Java if you want to go towards Android dev in the future. You can’t go wrong with any of them, Our main goal at this point is to get a good grasp at the basics and if you get the basics, you can learn any language in no time. I would suggest going with C++ as it is very common in competitive coding as well as in placement and C++ is a superset of C. Personally, I started with C++ as well. If you want a more detailed comparison, you can watch this video made by harry from the code with harry Youtube channel.

Now, If you came here because you want to make a personal project your choice of language depends on your project. Some of the common languages are mentioned below with their respective projects.

1. Android App > Java

2. IOS App > Swift

3. Web development (Front end)> HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Or WordPress

4. Web development (Back end) > PHP or WordPress

Where to learn them?

Now, you know which language you want to learn. So let's get started with ways you can learn them.

C++:

These are some of the best courses I found on the internet which are well structured, free, and are in Hindi.

C++ course by Aman Dhattarwal

C++ course by Harry

2. HTML, CSS:

The course mentioned below is a complete package. In this, they will teach you responsive web development as well as HTML5 and CSS. In the end, you will also make a project which you can put on your resume. They will also give you a certificate for all this.

freecodecamp.org

3. Java:

Code with harry is a great channel for new coders, his Java course is linked below.

STEP 2 : Clone the Repository

Now its time to use command line interface -

But before going further we have to install git first on our computer

For windows download the latest stable version of git setup files and install it on your PC. For Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) use this command on your CLI or Terminal

$ sudo apt-get install git

After installing GIT on you PC , Let’s get back to the cloning process

Open the Terminal or CLI and enter the command

$ git clone <link to the repo>

<link to the repo> = Your forked repo link

Wait for the repo to get cloned.

After that you have to move to the folder where it is cloned using command line interface (CLI)

Context in Javascript: Self vs. This
By: Jackson Beytebiere
Tags: Programming, Context, Beginners Guide, JavaScript

What is the difference between ‘self’ and ‘this’? The answer can seem a bit unclear and murky at first. But understanding the difference between the two can be helpful and lead one to becoming a better object oriented programmer.

Let’s start with ‘this’. ‘this’ is a keyword. It is used to refer to an object in which a method is called. For example:

However ‘this’ can lose its scope easily. If we were to do something like this with the previous example:

We can see that it would print out ‘undefined’. This is because ‘this’ default is window. It may seem a bit strange that this happened. ‘this’ will only work in our first example if it is called via a property access operation. With a property access operation the function is passed that object as the value of its ‘this’. Otherwise, ‘this’ defaults to the global object, which is window in a browser.

Another use for ‘this’ is in an object constructor. In one, ‘this’ refers to an object being made, or myPoint in the example below. This is because we used the keyword ‘new’ thus making the operation a class instantiation. During class instantiation, ‘this’ refers to the new object.

‘self’ is an identifier, It has no special syntactic meaning. Browsers define window.self as window. Self can be redefined within an enclosing scope.

When calling a function in the global scope, both ‘self’ and ‘this’ defaults to window. However, when not in the global scope, ‘this’ will refer to that context but ‘self’ will still refer to window. Hopefully this explanation provided you with a sense of ‘self’.

Making Recruitment Success Predictable

Making Recruitment Success Predictable

What makes recruitment predictable?

Interviews Generated: Candidates in front of clients is what everything from business development calls to candidate meetings to CV’s submitted all about.

All that matters is generating a certain number of interviews every week, month and quarter Interview to Offer Ratio: This is the number of meetings that need to be made to create an offer and becomes a ratio example 1 and 10.

This ratio makes you successful because you understand just how many people you send for interview end up with an offer in hand and thus have a chance of taking the job.

Offer to Passing Probation: This one is actually fundamental to building long-term relationships with clients and indeed candidates. It makes you successful because it outlines just how candidates you get to offer who stay at the company long enough for you to keep your job.

Using these Ratios to predict success

So how do you use these ratios and KPI’s to promote your recruitment business at or desk successfully?

Firstly, decide how many placements you want to make a month. This could be determined by a financial target or just a simple number like three placements. For our example, we are looking for 2 interviews.

Secondly, you need to understand your offer ratio to a candidate passing probation. The best way to figure this out is to do some digging over the last 18 months, find out how many candidates passed probation and how many offers you generated. Divide offers by candidates passing probation. So for our example, we have a ratio of 3:1 (three offers for one passing placement probation).

Thirdly, you need the ratio of interviewed candidates to offer made. For this delve deep into your stats and find the number of interviews generated over the last 18 months and divide it by the name of offers. In our example, we have a ratio of 10:1 (ten candidates interviewed for one placement).

Lastly, bring it all together. Take your goal times it by the number of offers and then times it by the interviews to get the total number of interviews generated.

In our example Goal:

2 placements per month Offer to Placement Passing Probation:

3:1 Interview to Offer:

To generate for 2 placements is 60 interviews or 15 per week or 3 per day.

Moving forward

Use the method above to focus your goal for each day. That way if you produce three interviews per day (as in our example) you will end up each and every month hitting your placement target. As ever we would love to hear what you have to say.

2020 Annual Global Recruitment Report By TurboHire
Tags: AI, Global Recruitment, Recruitment, 2020, Hiring Strategy

In the course of recent years, the pattern in recruitment and hiring has been continually evolving. A portion of these progressions is slow while others occurred at a lightning speed. Talent discovery is no longer, at this point about assessing paper resumes and leading one-on-one meetings. Nowadays, Recruiters look to accentuate aptitudes appraisals and grasp the different innovative and technological progressions in hiring and recruiting.

Keeping this in mind, TurboHire has come up with a detailed study on the Hiring Trends of the pre and post-pandemic era, and their impact on recruitment. In order to endure the coming decade, HR managers need to remain on the ball and use underestimated aptitudes.

Hiring In The New World Order

Talent Acquisition experienced some significant changes as of late. New advances and progressed employing practices without a doubt played a hand, and this intervention gives no signs of easing back as we enter the new decade.

When the COVID-19 residue settles down, a new order will develop in the job market, analysts state. New openings in the fields of health, hygiene, technology, and innovation may come up.

As indicated by HR firms, gaming, over-the-top (OTT) administrations, remote working virtual groups, project management software, web-based business, and edu-tech portions would see a consistent increment in business.

Watching out for the ongoing patterns in recruitment and employment can help to select supervisors to attract their optimal candidates, and for employment seekers to locate the ideal organization they are searching for.

Modifying your employing procedures for 2020 as per the current patterns will help you at last build up a more powerful recruitment procedure as well as locate the correct applicants that fit in the company.

The conclusion of the COVID-19 pandemic is probably going to come on various occasions for nations all over the world. As this occurs, governments will make a solid effort to bring down their unemployment rates. Honestly, the divisions we examined were encountering development before the COVID-19 episode.

The pandemic we are encountering will probably simply build the degree of the venture, and maybe that is one of the significant takeaways from this emergency: look to deft, versatile businesses that are very much ready for development and growth for a thought of which are bound to flourish after COVID-19.

Volume 2 Coming Soon!

There is a second part to this Report coming up which will be an extensive & detailed study on the Future Of Recruitment Report 2021. In 2021 we hope to see a lot of variety in the working environment. Not just in the conventional feeling of individuals’ experiences and where they come from, yet additionally in the manner in which they consider and approach their work.

Ways of effective recruitment
By: Soumya Guna
Tags: Recruitment

It is very important to choose the right candidate at the right time, and it has been never this tough as it is today.

So, here are some techniques listed after a bit of research which could ease the process-

1. Universal Job adverts: While publishing or posting any job, we tend to segment the population in some wanted and unwanted ways (gender, minorities, age, etc.). To avoid such unwanted segmentations and to expand the applicants pool, we can use different tools to correct the content of our job listings like an AI driven writing tool.

2. Social Media Advertisements:

This digital era needs a digital solution I guess!

Social media has great reach all over the world, and has the maximum traffic driven to it. The usage of hashtags along with the content of the job listings lands up the subject related suitable candidates only. Through this the recruiters doesn’t have to sort the candidates, as they are already sorted.

3. Print advertisement:

No matter how traditional this method is, but is stills helps a lot.

“OLD IS GOLD” Job listings on newspapers or magazines is still a great method to get potential and quality candidates who will be way more serious for the job they have approached for.

4. Referrals:

This is the most effective ones. Referred new hires are usually more engaged, more productive and less likely to leave. It works best if you design a customized referral program on your own like: -Rewarding the employee who bought the candidates through incentives or non-monetary like extra holidays or some gifts/coupons. -Keep the procedure as simple as possible and avoid too much documentations. -Welcome the new ones with some goodies.

5. Online Postings:

Apart from social media, we also have effective job portals like Naukri.com, Indeed, Olx, Quikr, etc. All of these acquires huge traffics from the job seekers and makes the best platform for the recruiter to choose the best out of the pool.

Hope this helped in some way or the other

Happy hiring!

Similar should be the shine in your dreams

Hi, I am a 2020 engineering grad, just made it to Amazon and here to discuss the procedure. The entire process may seem intimidating at first but go ahead keep preparing and you will work with Amazon or any company you want to.

I will focus more on the syllabus and types of questions than exact questions , because believe me probability of intersection tends to zero here.

It all began with a referral , yes you can reach me out for it . I was referred by my senior in June. Didn’t receive any response then. After 2–3 months, a recruiter reached out to me with a coding test link, which was active for a week. I completed the test the next day I received it and glad I did.
The Five KPI’s to Use to Evaluate Your Recruitment Team — JCSI BestExec
By: Bergin Sullivan
Tags: Rpo, Recruitment, Kpi, Talent Acquisition, Metrics

While selection and hiring can be artistic in how results are achieved, the KPI’s to manage the function are crystal clear. We’ve listed the five KPI’s for recruitment that we find most beneficial to work for your internal recruitment team by:

Average Time to Fill. What is the time to accept the offer? Offer Acceptance Rate. How many of the offers extended lead to acceptance? Agency Utilization Rate. How much of your candidate production comes from the agency? Average Time to Source. How quickly are talent pipelines sourced? Retention Rates. How long do you retain your hires?

Managing these will lead to an efficient organization, but most importantly (we believe) is the overarching theme of candidate experience. By taking the time to make sure the candidate experience across the recruitment continuum is optimized, the whole system takes on a more human process. And what ends up happening with a rigorous focus on candidate experience is quality goes up, and metrics improve.

Are you crunched for time? Don’t want to sacrifice on candidate experience? JCSI excels at acting as a direct hiring agent of its clients in times of need and delivers Project-based RPO with no long-term commitments necessary while saving 30–80% over traditional methods.

Defining Talent Management: From Then to Now

Tags: Talent Management, Rpo, Mckinsey, Recruitment, Talent Acquisition

Talent Management is a term coined by McKinsey in the late 1990s. It was made famous by the phrase “the War for Talent” and the subsequent book by Michaels.

Before this book, the concept of ensuring an organization has the talented people it needs was not a highly scientific or systematic activity within an organization. Once the observation was made that talent management is a critical component of success, it has taken on many functions within a company:

Workforce Planning

Engagement and Retention

Learning and Development

Leadership Development

Performance Management

Data and Analytics

Rewards and Recognition

Talent Acquisition

Services, technologies, and careers now encompass all of the above. But, they all live within the overarching concept of “Talent Management” which can be defined as the process of identifying, developing, recruiting, retaining, and deploying those talented people.

Five Imperatives of Talent Management

The process mentioned in the definition of Talent Management is still best described by the five imperatives that Michaels identifies in his book:

Creating a winning employee value proposition that will make your company uniquely attractive to talent. Moving beyond recruiting hype to build a long-term recruiting strategy. Using job experience, coaching, and mentoring to cultivate the potential of managers. Strengthening your talent pool by investing in A players, developing B players, and acting decisively on C players. Central to this approach is a pervasive mindset: a deep conviction shared by company leaders that competitive advantage comes from having better talent at all levels.

JCSI focuses exclusively on the Talent Acquisition component of Talent Management. We believe that it is important to view Talent Management as a comprehensive group of diverse activities. These activities start with securing the flow of talent into an organization, recognizing that it is a major corporate asset, and managing it as such.

Social media recruitment is also known as social hiring, where the HR recruits the candidate through social media platforms like online job sites, talent databases, Linked in, Facebook, Twitter, advertising the openings of the job position.

Here HR is a way more effectively and efficiently attracted with both active and passive candidates.

Active candidates who are actually forward for seeking jobs.

Passive candidates are those who are not actively looking for job but are ready to consider the opportunity.

Every company has one or the other opening for job positions, Let us discuss few steps for social media recruitment which can improve the company strategy in hiring the candidates through social media platforms.

Choosing a right platform is the most important step where the company can advertise its job description. Social media platforms where most of the people spent time like Facebook, Twitter, Linked in etc., these can be preferred as B2B networking or blogging or other activities. The company must have the best job advertisements, which must target the right audience. The company must be clear about its job specification and description, type of employees required with certain skill set which might attract the candidate towards the company. Have company updates more often. Provide good content about the job opening so that candidates get updates from time to time, make sure that the content must not be over written, as the social media platform work the same way SEO works. So the content must be reliable and informative. Company should have encouraging interactions through their posts which might take candidate to have a look and go through the job advertisement. for eg,. (using quotes) “If you are an Amazing Software Engineer who wants to make great money working at an amazing company then here is the opportunity”. Setting rules and regulations here the company must be concerned about details which defines the entire process about the job, with strict formatting, documentation, resume rules. It seems to be professional as the company expects potential candidates. It is not unlike the traditional HR recruitment. Communicating with the candidates through social media where customer support managers can contact them, answering their questions regarding additional information about the company, recruitment process. These questions must be answered as it can give a bad impact on the company’s social site. On recruitment through social media platform the candidates encourage for fast response. Once the applications are received the candidates should be updated with the information through mails or create an automatic response messenger so that candidates ensure great experience.

This article is a sub-part of this article!

Networking, it’s very crucial and will help you when you’ll be applying to jobs. You shouldn’t just send connection requests to people on LinkedIn and get happy when they accept it. Build real connections, go to events, meet-ups, workshops, anything where you can interact face to face with humans online or offline. Read technical blogs, try to explore and learn new technologies from YouTube tutorials and build something small to see if that domain interests you. Subscribe to tech YouTubers like Clement, Keep on Coding, Hitesh, Tech with Tim and others to keep yourself updated about tech and for general Software Engineering advice and what to expect in this field. Participate in Coding Contests (LeetCode, Codeforces, etc), Hackathons, Open-source programs like Google Summer of Code, Hacktoberfest, etc. Follow a recruiter who gives advice on recruiting and interview processes, I personally like to follow Amy Miller (Google and Amazon Recruiter).
List of Unpopular Employment Trends in 2021

Moreover, the above trends revealed gave us some really powerful insights…

✅ We can source talent globally — and it’s very cost-effective! Salaries do not have to match the rising cost of living of urban metropolis anymore. Companies have both the experience and the know-how to hire, manage and operate with remote employees.

✅ TECH will REPLACE MOST JOBS — and it will CREATE NEW ONES. Just a quick look at XYZ Lab operational costs and I can already tell you that our tech cost quadrupled in less than 12 months. Companies will rely more on software to automate administrative, finance and organisational processes.

Look back in the last 5 years and you will immediately realise that…

Companies like Canva enabled us to operate will fewer graphic designers.

Companies like Shopify enabled us to operate with fewer web designers.

Companies like Zapier enabled us to operate with fewer admins.

✅ There is a need for more people who can project manage, code, work with data, think critically and sell. Skills that are currently massively undersupplied in the global market. Both universities and private school should speed up change to align with market needs.

✅ 9 to 6 is no more. What matters is to get the job done. More and more companies will become “working-hours agnostic” as a higher % of the workforce will be employed under remote contracts.

✅ Contract work will be the norm — in fact, the majority of employees in the world’s largest companies, such as Google, Facebook and Amazon are contractors!

✅ The gig economy will flourish—because tech will make it easier than ever to start your own business! Technology is totally removing the barriers to entry in almost all sectors.
