How to Prepare for a Job Interview, A Checklist

Lobby of Taipei 101’s office tower

Your C.V. is a picture of yourself, and how you approach the interview is like putting a frame around that photo. That frame changes the way people look at you.

There are some things that all of us can do to be in the right frame that puts our best self forward. Putting some structure around interview preparation puts people at ease, one step at a time.

What I’ve learned is meditating on what you need to do now, what happens next, and how you are already prepared for what’s going to happen is a very powerful habit. I made this checklist to take some of the anxiety out of the process.

The main points of this job interview preparation checklist

Know Where You’re Supposed to Be, and How to Act

People . Who you will meet, their title, and how to pronounce their name. If it’s a Chinese name, you can ask a friend for help.

. Who you will meet, their title, and how to pronounce their name. If it’s a Chinese name, you can ask a friend for help. Logistics . Where you are supposed to be and when. How long it will take to get there, so that you arrive 15 minutes early.

. Where you are supposed to be and when. How long it will take to get there, so that you arrive 15 minutes early. The first impression. When you arrive, make sure you turn off your phone. When the interviewer arrives, greet them. Shake hands firmly. Follow the interviewer, wait for them to offer you a seat, before sitting down.

Hello, yes, I’m (YOUR NAME). It’s a pleasure to meet you (Mr./Mrs. INTERVIEWER). Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule.”

Omo-Agege, Lalong, Others Frown At Gender-Based Violence At VOW Conference 2020.
By: Media Panache Nigeria
Tags: Women, Conference, Gender Based Violence

On Thursday, December 17th, 2020, Nigeria’s only station for Women, WFM 91.7FM celebrated its 5th year anniversary by hosting the Voice of Women Conference tagged; Men’s Voice Against Gender-Based Violence.

The Conference was a virtual event and had the speakers speaking against every form of gender-based violence.

While giving the opening remarks, Gov. Simon Lalong said; ‘As we advocate for a safe Nigeria for our women and girls, we must change the mind-set of our men and boys to not only appreciate that women and girls deserve protection, but have rights and freedoms enshrined in the constitution as any of us. We must also make them understand that any violation of the rights of women and girls is a serious crime that carries weighty punishment under the law’.

The Deputy Senate President who was represented by Dr Otive Igbuzor, Executive Director of the African Centre For Leadership, Strategy and Development also frowns at every form of gender-based violence. He said; ‘Men hold the responsibility to keep our women safe and it is high time they start putting it into action as no man has the right to violate a woman’.

The Conference had every speaker standing against every form of gender-based violence and also speaking on how to curb this act and make the world a better place equally for both male and female.

Also speaking on the theme, the Kwara state Governor Abdulraham Abdulrasaaq, who was ably represented by Rafiu Ajakaye, the Chief Press Secretary

stated, ‘There is so much we can do for women by giving them political power/influence. One, they can influence policies and programs to favor the disadvantaged groups in society. Which is why Kwara is passionate about that and there is no going back’.

In attendance was the Sarkin Yakin Gagi of Sokoto state Alhaji Sabi Umar Jabbi, Mr. Fatai Owoseni the Oyo State Special Adviser on Security Matters, Ambassador Ayoola Olukanni the DG NACCIMA, and the CEO Business School, Netherlands International, Prof Lere Baale.

They all commended Women Radio 91.7 for staging such an important conference to deliberate on issues that affect women and society.

Introducing GroupRoom — Spatial Video Chat for Virtual Events
Tags: Video Chat, Videoconference, Spatial, Conference, Meetings

Video chat doesn’t work well for large groups or social situations because only one person can speak at a time.

GroupRoom allows participants to move around the space and collaborate with others near them. For example, three people on one side of the room can have a group conversation with a whiteboard or google doc etc completely separate from a group of two people on the other side.

GroupRoom is the next best thing to meetings, conferences, expos, classrooms, concerts, break rooms, and even happy hours in person!

How Does GroupRoom Work?

As users move around the room, our spatial algorithm detects their proximity to other users in the space and lights up their video avatars and slowly increases their volume as they get closer to you — and visa versa.

Users can move throughout the space and engage with different users and groups of users during the event. This allows many smaller groups of users to have productive conversations at the same time.

GroupRoom is designed to run in all Web browsers on any device (mobile, tablet, laptop, and desktop) — no downloads required. Simply share your GroupRoom link in a calendar invitation or as a social media event. It’s that simple!

Collaboration Tools

What would a video conferencing platform be without collaboration tools? Our collaboration tools consist of the following features:

Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets

Whiteboards

Embedded Web Pages

Embedded YouTube Videos that are spatially aware of user proximity

Screen Sharing

Private Meeting Rooms with full screen video and screen sharing

We also provide room announcement capabilities allowing administrators to broadcast announcements to the entire room.

Custom Branding & Designs

Administrators can create multiple rooms each with their own custom look and feel. We support a generic matrix construct background, fullscreen static uploaded background images, as well as an infinite canvas background for larger virtual venues.

Host Your Next Team Event On GroupRoom!

Our spatial video chat platform is free for teams of 5 or less but you can upgrade to our PRO-25 plan to host up to 25 people or PRO-50 for 50 people per room. An unlimited number of rooms can be linked together to create an even larger event.

Waves Enterprise Conference 2020
By: Waves Enterprise
Tags: Corporate Blockchain, Waves Enteprise, Conference, Blockchain

On December 15, 2020, Waves Enterprise held its second annual conference dedicated to using blockchain technologies in the business and public sector. Now we publish a video record of the entire event.

Waves Enterprise Conference has already become a traditional event for the Russian corporate blockchain space. But this year, it was necessary to change the format of the event and go online. Like last year, the event brought together key experts on a corporate blockchain, including business and government representatives involved in the digital transformation of companies and entire industries in the new reality of 2020.

This year’s conference included three sections dedicated to the use of blockchain technologies at different levels:

The public sector

Business

International agenda

The public sector

In 2020, in the pandemic context, the Russian state’s interest in distributed ledger technologies has grown significantly, as evidenced by several breakthroughs and large-scale blockchain solutions implemented this year. Artem Kalikhov, Chief Product Officer at Waves Enterprise, opened the conference with an overview of the most high-profile government projects, including those that use Waves Enterprise technologies. Further, experts from FIS, the Fintech Association, Innopolis University, FIPS, DIT Moscow, Soramitsu Labs spoke about their projects and initiatives on the blockchain, as well as discussed current development problems and solutions in various industries, including the financial sector and intellectual property management.

Business

The Business section focused on current scenarios for using blockchain technologies in the corporate sector and expectations for 2021 connected with the new legal framework regulating digital financial assets in Russia. Experts from Alfa-Bank, Sberbank, Raiffeisenbank, Petroleum Trading, S7 TechLab, Cometrica, Tokenomica, and Waves Enterprise made presentations, spoke about the cases implemented this year, and discussed the prospects and feasibility of using decentralized technologies in the Russian corporate sector in 2021.

International agenda

To discuss international trends in blockchain technologies development this year, we decided to focus on the Chinese market. This reflects both the global priorities of Waves Enterprise and China’s leadership in blockchain initiatives. Together with experts from Ontology, Conflux, and MINDSMITH, we discussed the development of corporate blockchain in China, the achievements of local Chinese blockchain projects, as well as global trends for 2021, including central bank digital currencies (CBDC) and the interoperability of blockchain technologies.

We want to thank all the conference participants. Thanks to you, everything went brilliantly. The video in English is here (don’t forget to choose the language under a headphone icon): https://weconference.ru/en/stream

Future.Works Tech Conference 2020 — A Tale of Two Days
By: Pedro Saraiva
Tags: Tech, JavaScript, Java, Conference, Technology

It’s been roughly a week since we held the first edition of the Future.Works Tech Conference. In 2020, this was the first time that we decided to create an event focused on specific technologies. It was a new experience for us but we believe it went quite well.

The two programming languages that were the focus of the conference are Java & JavaScript.

We managed to get a cool lineup of speakers for both days with a broad range of topics and insights about these two. Let’s take a look at what we’ve learned?

1st Day — Java

On December 9, we started the conference with our eyes on Java. The keynote speaker of the day was Venkat Subramaniam, Founder @ Agile Developer, Inc. His presentation was focused on Java Functional Programming Idioms. It was a keynote based on a demo, and Venkat went through the session by showcasing how we can improve our coding style if we look at it as idioms. It was a great comparison between what we see in our native languages and the programming languages we use.

On that day, we would like to also point out also the talks from Mary Grygleski and Nicolas Frankel, together with the Live Coding Session by Edward Ciggaar. Mary took us through an introductory talk to Reactive Java, while Nicolas shared 3 easy improvements you can make in your Microservices Architecture. To close the day, Edward invited everyone to join him on a Live Coding session where you could learn how to Go Serverless with Java & Quarkus.

This first day was sponsored by Autovision and we recommend you to check their current job opportunities.
DMLA’s First All-Digital Conference Opens the Door for Future Innovative Events

DMLA’s First All-Digital Conference Opens the Door for Future Innovative Events

Courtesy DMLA

The reviews are in: The 2020 Digital Media Licensing Conference delivered its promise of better-than-ever content while taking the event back to its international roots, attracting 240 persons from 16 countries to the six-day event.

From comprehensive sessions on hot topics in tech and legal to mind-bending demonstrations of synthetic cars, scenery and people, more than 60 speakers delivered a robust educational experience to participants. Each of the 26 educational panels and roundtables earned ratings above 8.5 out of 10.

“The program committee members worked hard to provide innovative, engaging content for their panels and roundtables,” said conference Chairman Thomas Smith (Gado Images). “Each of the session champions and moderators are to be congratulated for delivering what in my experience was the most exhilarating line up we have ever had.”

DMLA President Leslie Hughes, said, “The three pillars of DMLA are education, advocacy and connectivity, and this conference delivered strongly on them all. From the opening keynotes — Paolo Malabuyo of Google and Andy Parsons of Adobe — to the closing session focused on Buyers’ issues, each session hit its mark. We could not be happier knowing that whatever the circumstances with travel next year, DMLA’s conference can keep getting better and better.”

This was DMLA’s 25th annual conference and the first to be all-digital. The format change was welcomed by many participants who were able to attend for the first time.

“The digital delivery of content was so successful, we may consider a hybrid conference going forward to allow people who cannot travel this far to attend,” Smith said. “We also heard participants’ desire for enhanced networking opportunities and already are identifying networking avenues both at the conference and throughout the year.”

Participants chose from a menu of accessibility ranging from single sessions to all-access. For the first time, corporations were able to purchase passes that allowed any employee to attend, and several took advantage of the opportunity.

Most sessions were recorded, and participants with all-access, bundle and single passes will be able to view their sessions on demand in DMLA’s private YouTube channel. Excerpts from those sessions will be made available to the general public soon and on a continuing basis. Write ups of key sessions also will be published in the associations’ Medium channel, DMLA Insights, over the coming months.

The conference attracted prestigious sponsors, including Google, PicRights, Capture, SmartFrame, ImageRights, CDAS and Stocktrek.

“We are grateful to these sponsors for supporting our mission of being the united voice for the digital media licensing industry,” Hughes said. “Most joined our new year-round sponsorship program, so we look forward to a valuable, on-going relationship with them.”

DMLA wishes you a joyous holiday season!

My Thoughts about the Github Universe 2020
By: Rémi Lavedrine
Tags: Github, Security, Review, Conference

Netflix got incredibly good movies but I found something much more interesting.

🤟🏼 Github Universe !!! 🤟🏼

Just like a lot of conferences this year, it was completely online this year.

I watched a lot of their videos and I must admit that this year, the content was very appealing to me.

Particularly because a very large part of the new features and videos were about Security.

This proves that Security is now a “basic” subject as part of software development.

And that’s good news !!! 👌🏼

Watch my thoughts (french audio & english subtitles) about the Github Universe and its Security related Videos and tell me if these topics make you as enthusiastic as I am.

Creating Change Through a Whole Person Approach
By: Culturati Team
Tags: Culture, Conference, Company Culture

By Suraj Hinduja, Managing Director, RTRX

There is no doubt 2020 has shaped us all in one way or another. The impacts are expansive, and the lessons are many. All valuable and important. But the one that simply won’t leave my head is this: we are all human. It sounds trite and obvious, but frankly, before March 2020, this lesson was lost on me. I was more focused on the race than the journey. As I look around, I think that was the case for many — as individuals, businesses, and communities.

By our very nature, humans like to compartmentalize and categorize. I work in the world of social entrepreneurship, and am a son, grandson, friend, lover of espresso, passionate philanthropist … the list goes on. The same holds true for everyone…you have many roles, many responsibilities, many people and ideals you are passionate about and committed to. Prior to March, I believe we were more inclined to compartmentalize these roles and responsibilities losing the important value they synergistically lend to one another. But as the world changed, our work and school environments changed radically, as well as the needs in our communities. It has become clear that we must focus on the whole person — not just the professional, but every bit of what makes us who we are in our daily lives … in our families, our businesses, our teams…to become more successful as individuals, companies and communities.

As we think about the future, and what the RTRX 2021 experience looks like, we’re applying that lesson and putting ourselves in the shoes of our community, asking: “what does it mean to truly build something of transformative value for the whole — the whole person, the whole business, the whole team?” We’re focused on building an experience that maximizes the very best development of business, personal, and team while investing in innovative cancer research. And we’re doing it in a way that is meaningful, dynamic, emotional, and relevant to the growth of the whole. In every decision we make, we’re asking ourselves:

Does it mobilize our community to move from thought leadership to change leadership?

Does it provide our community with the inspiration and tools to hit the ground running and activate change?

Does it create an opportunity to expand thinking? Does it provide the investment in themselves and their team?

We’re building not only an experience focused on the whole person, but a community focused on connection and amplifying the power of being part of something bigger than ourselves to create change in the world…making it not about the race, but the journey…and the incredible lengths we can travel together.

2020 Conference: Unlocking Financial Product Innovation Through Customer-centered Design

The International Financial Inclusion Conference is a platform for ecosystem stakeholders to congregate and share knowledge, ideas and unique experiences as well as discuss latest research frontiers and findings.

Past conferences have focused on diverse themes including:

market-enabling policies to facilitate last-mile innovations that enhance DFS delivery,

financial inclusion as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth and national development,

market-creating innovations as a solution to non-consumption, among several others.

This year’s conference addresses financial product innovation and customer centricity.

2020 is a milestone year, and the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced new unforeseen factors, distorting Nigeria’s financial inclusion journey and further exposing the fragility of the financial services system. The lockdown and its antecedents emphasised the need to innovate and re-imagine financial products and services to meet the evolving needs and expectations of customers, improve product-market fit and move the financial inclusion needle.

This can only be possible via a shift towards customer-centricity.

Customer-centricity places customers (and not the product) at the center of interest. This unlocks diverse possibilities for providers to be innovative and create better products and services that win in the market.

The 2020 International Financial Inclusion Conference will explore customer-centered design principles and how they unlock diverse possibilities for providers to be innovative and create better products and services that can win in the unbanked and underserved market.

Awwwards Tokyo — Day 2. In a world, where smiles are hidden by…

“Crafting Collective Creativity” by Georgi Roberts & Asako Tomotani

Exploring the topics of overhauling the mobile experience for cruise liners or examining the cultural nuances of Japanese and German design were compelling additions to this design conference. This talk balanced the hows, dove in to the whys and injected a dose social activism.

In Georgi & Asako’s talk, they compared the Monopo team to a Bloody Mary — each team member representing an ingredient and brings a different flavor to a cocktail. As an example, Shiseido approached them to help them create an Instagram ready, Gen-z targeted campaign to promote a line of natural beauty product based on the Japanese philosophy of less is more.

This is where Asako’s French and Japanese background come in to play. Instead of using common-Japanese creative tropes to frame the campaign, she was able to dig into her roots and find sophisticated and thoughtful way to visually communicate Shiseido as a brand. Employing Hanafuda, a Japanese card game, Monopo was able to invent a visual language and create a design-driven solution that featured the ingredients and tauted the skin benefits in a vivid, effective, Gen-Z way.

Despite having a diverse beauty scene, Japan has a singular beauty standard for women. As a person that deeply cares about authenticity, Asako wanted to challenge this old-way of thinking and promote an outlook of positive body image and heterogeneity. For this campaign, she included a wide array of women, highlighting their unique traits as marks of beauty.

In closing, the conference is many things, a love letter (a haiku) to Japan, recruitment hub for digital ad agencies looking for fresh talent, showcase for displaying world class case studies, knowledge sharing, emerging technologies and a call to arms for collaboration. The word “community” gets casually thrown around to describe just about everything from running ethical coffee co-ops, neighborhood watches, bar-b-ques but this conference truly felt like a community event.

From forced audience participation, afterparties, bar meetups and off the wall conversations this conference truly lives up to it’s billing as an event geared toward the creative community. Did I mention that everyone that I met was so damn friendly?

In my perfect conference universe, I would have like to have these topics covered: video game UI & UX (come on, this is the land of Nintendo and Sony Playstation!), deep dive into Japanese web design, and the role of digital products and experiences for Japan’s seniors (1/4 of the country’s population is 60 years old and above). Aside from my trivial gripes, Awwwards Conference Tokyo, was a well-balanced conference, scoring high on both style and substance.
My first international conference

When I started blogging and networking my aim was to get connected to the thoughts of the best people in the industry whether it is software or business. There was a milestone that we decided to reach which is to get a guest entry into an esteemed conference.

We estimated to achieve this desired goal in one and a half to two years of committed efforts. This was based on the fact that I was new to all this and if I will not be able to cope up with my stuff. So a bounce-back time, but I am happy to announce that I got a guest invitation into an esteemed group aspire where they talk about empowering the present state of women.

I was happy to hear the speakers and networked with the CEOs and founders of various companies. It was really inspiring to meet different people from all over the world. This helped me shape a better perspective. I was invited as a guest there and I also expressed my thoughts on inclusive development.

The session was a hit but what amazes me is the fact that I was able to achieve this in about 8 months, half of the time that we thought to invest. This is really amazing. But walking this path sometimes is a hard path as there is no real cash in my hand while my friends are making more money, though I want to turn my life into a process-driven form seeing people getting ahead of me in terms of salary sometimes makes me ask the question, is it worth it?

What exactly I want to ask myself is, Is excellence worth it? Because I am giving myself time daily, daily I am following my rituals of attracting riches into my life, but still, I have nothing in my hand. Maybe I am lacking patience. But this thought is coming into my mind because people I know who are not giving in the way I have been are getting better results.

But I am forgetting the fact that how can I say that they are not giving in the way I have been giving in. All that I have in my hands is my own karma, rest success depends on many different factors.

From the mental passage that I drew I just need to have patience and work towards my goals I need to keep walking the path that I think is an important need to stay committed to it and the right things will start happening to me at the right time.
