Another Example of How Social Media May Do for a Business

Image
By
We have discussed several examples of how social media may do for a business in this blog before --- e.g. 4food and Mobile Food Truck (a Facebook video). This CNN video provides another successful example of using social media in mobile cupcake business. Even though this video does not reveal much new information, it shows the importance of tying every social media tool together. This is the way to build a brand with consistent messages and maximize the strengths of a variety of social media tools. Do you agree?

    This is a simple idea that was well implemented to get their name out there. Not only is their advertising free, it is real time advertising, meaning that rather than putting an add in the paper for the following week they are letting the customer know exactly where they will be at a moments notice. This is beneficial to the consumer to know immediately because they may forget about advertisements they read in the paper. Most people get twitter updates on there phone making it a friendly reminder to spend their money; especially if they are in the area when they get the twitter update.

    I've heard about this through food network. They have the whole "Truck Race" for foods and now a days i seem more travel trucks than actually sit downs. There's a truck called "waffle and dinges" and it was featured on food network for serving delicious Belgian waffles. The way they become so famous is because you have to catch them on the right time. They advertise through facebook and twitter because social media and technology plays a huge role in our lives today.

How to Convince AI that You Are the Best Candidate for the Job

By
Last week, we discussed how more companies used AI to screen resumes and analyze job candidates’ performance in the initial interviews. We called for companies’ attention to the  potential AI biases in hiring . This week, we will visit what job candidates can do to help AI pick us and recommend us for hiring. A. Writing a Resume Tailored to AI Screening First and foremost, job candidates must thoroughly research the job and the company to understand its job descriptions and organizational culture. From there, they can: Write the resume in Word and submit it as a Word document instead of a PDF file. Select a straightforward format and avoid using graphics, charts, or complex layouts that could confuse AI. Use headings effectively to help AI pick up the content it seeks, such as “Relevant Job Experience” and “Education.” Strategically pick the relevant keywords that match the job descriptions as the job candidates describe what they perform(ed) at work. Highlight their achievements a...

What Shall We Do When Job Seekers Cheat the AI Hiring Systems?

By
AI can streamline the hiring process, but concerns linger. For example, AI could perpetuate gender or racial biases in the hiring process , just like most human HR managers could do. Meanwhile, to increase the chances of being picked by AI, job candidates must prepare resumes and job interviews tailored to AI’s “preference.” When more job candidates understand how to convince AI that they are the best candidates for the job , can AI still make valid recommendations to hire the best-fit candidate in the pool? Then, if AI makes a mix of valid and invalid recommendations for hiring, will HR managers find it more challenging to select the right candidate for the job? The situation can get even more complicated if a candidate cheats the AI hiring systems. Cheat to bypass AI screening: Is it the cruelty of human nature? Job candidates are eager to get hired. Career coaches want to help. That is a good thing. Nevertheless, I have seen many free online tutorial videos teaching job candidate...

Learn-by-Going: Study Abroad in Thailand (by Cecilyah New)

By
When I signed up for the 2024 Thailand Collins College Study Abroad Program, I did not anticipate a life-changing experience. I had no expectations beyond learning how to cook Thai food in Thailand for course credits, and I had not researched much about studying abroad before the trip. However, during my time at Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi ( RMUTT ), I immersed myself in Thai culture, gained new insights into the hospitality industry, and broadened my global perspective in a new environment. Participating in this study abroad program has significantly contributed to my academic journey, professional development, and personal growth.   Academic and Professional Enrichment at RMUTT The Faculty of Liberal Arts at RMUTT and Dr. Kwok organized an intensive educational program that provided us with a comprehensive overview of hospitality and tourism in Thailand, along with an introduction to Thai history, language, and culture. On campus, we attended lectures that del...
