How Google Hire? Or Google Hiring Process: We’re looking for our next Noogler - someone who’s good for the role, good for Google and good at lots of things. Things move quickly around here. At Internet speed. That means we have to be nimble, both in how we work and how we hire. We look for people who are great at lots of things, love big challenges and welcome big changes. We can’t have too many specialists in just one particular area. We’re looking for people who are good for Google—and not just for right now, but for the long term. This is the core of how we hire. Our process is pretty basic; the path to getting hired usually involves a first conversation with a recruiter, a phone interview and an onsite interview at one of our offices. But there are a few things we’ve baked in along the way that make getting hired at Google a little different.  Google Hiring Process Steps: -------------------------------- Step 1: Apply The process begins with searching for a job opening that int...
A recent survey of more than 500 human resources and business professionals found that half of all college graduates do not exhibit professionalism at work. Consistently topping the list of problem areas is inappropriate appearance and poor communication skills.   Here are the top tips to crack any interview: Before the interview do the following:  1. Research the company:  Learn the company's history, mission, and recent activities. Be sure to look at the company's web site and on-line press room. 2. Clean up your digital image:  Remove photos, links, and text that might be viewed as inappropriate from all social media web sites and the web sites of your friends. 3.

Microsoft's So.cl Now Online..!

So.cl; the Microsoft social media site that accidentally went online a few months ago, is now officially live and inviting you to try out their new service. You can join the service as long as you're 18 years and older, and have a Facebook or Windows Live account. Microsoft's So.cl, pronounced "Social" is a product of Microsoft's research lab Fuselabs. The site offers enhanced features such as Explore, Feed, Post, Video Parties and the ability to share any web content. It looks like Microsoft has indeed created its own social network to compete with the likes of Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest. The timing of the launch is perfect, since Microsoft silently launched So.cl two days after Facebook became a public company. If you remember, Microsoft invested $240 million, or 1.6% stake in Facebook in 2007, which is now reportedly worth anywhere between $250 million to $1.6 billion. One thing that any user of So.cl needs to remember is that all your data on so....

Bye, Bye Waterfall: 5 Steps to Implement Responsive Web Design

Congratulations, you’ve finally convinced the powers that be that your next Web-design project needs to be responsive. It was tough work convincing them, but you can’t rest on your laurels now. The most critical decision of the project remains: how is your team going to build it? Responsive Roundup You're probably familiar with the typical "waterfall"process: start with strategy, then onto design, followed by front- and back-end development and finally analytics implementation. The main attribute of the waterfall process is its linear nature: once a stage ends, the next one begins with a near-perfect dovetail. The progression through the stages only goes in a single direction, and unfortunately as problems accumulate, they inevitably flow downhill and changes are not handled very gracefully. Waterfall process: If you’re unfamiliar with the term "responsive Web design", it describes a website-building process that utilizes the same set of code to display properly...

Another Night to Remember

The sinking of the Costa Concordia cruise ship. At the Italian port of Civitavecchia, 40 miles northwest of Rome, the great cruise ships line the long concrete breakwater like taxis at a curb. That Friday afternoon, January 13, 2012, the largest and grandest was the Costa Concordia, 17 decks high, a floating pleasure palace the length of three football fields. It was a cool, bright day as the crowds filed on and off the ship, those who had boarded at Barcelona and Marseilles heading into Rome for sightseeing while hundreds of new passengers pulled rolling bags toward theConcordia’s arrival terminal. Up on the road, a writer from Rome named Patrizia Perilli stepped from a chauffeur-driven Mercedes and marveled at the ship’s immensity. “You could see it even before you entered the port; it was a floating monster,” she recalls. “Its size made me feel secure. It was sunny, and its windows were just sparkling.” Inside the terminal, newcomers handed their luggage to the Indian and Filipino p...
