Will Liquids Be Allowed on Planes Again in the Future?

Image
By
I've forgotten when was the last time I was allowed to carry liquids on planes --- of course, I am not talking about those that can be put in a quart-size Ziploc bag. This MSNBC video gives us a hope that we might be able to carry liquids on planes again in the future. However, given the fact that travelers have dramatically changed their travel behaviors due to those “one-after-another” airport regulations and airline add-on fees, will things go back to “normal” if liquids are allowed again?

    I don't think that this is such a huge issue. I flew just two weeks ago for the first time in 12 years believe it or not, and I didn't find it to be an inconveinience. I think that as passengers, our first desire is a safe flight, and any increased costs that may incur due to 'high tech' magnetic scanning devices will often cause disgruntlement. Anybody traveling for more than a few days most likely has to check a bag anyway, and liquids are allowed in that case(pardon the pun).
    Perhaps in the time shortly following 9/11, passengers were majorly inconveinienced with this 'no liquid' policy, but I think the procedure should have set in by now. Myself, having not traveled since I was 8 years old, found it to be normal practice. Certainly nothing to complain about when my safety was their airlines priority.

    I find it to be an inconvenience. I am traveling for 4 days, and I do not want to check a bag. It would cost me $25 both ways to check my bag. I am able to fit everything I need on my carry on, but am not allowed to pack my shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, etc. Unless I put it into tiny little bottles. Well I need more than a dab of shampoo for my long hair.

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...
