When Cell Phone and Laptop Become One Single “Real Smart” Device

When we questioned whether a cell phone or a laptop seems more important to us several days ago, probably few of us considered the option of combing these two devices into one “real smart” tool. Motorola introduced the Atrix 4G that allows us to bring a smart phone, a lap top, and an entertainment center (TV) together. For a little less than $700, consumers can bring a Motorola Atrix 4G home, including a smart phone, a laptop, an entertainment dock, a keyboard, a mouse, and a remote control. I agree with this MSNBC News review that Atrix 4G still has several flaws and needs improvement. However, I see the future of this new tool.

The more powerful a cell phone becomes, the more people will rely on this gadget. Accordingly, the more attention a business should pay to smart phones. Because of cell phones, what consumer behaviors have changed over the years? What emerging consumer behaviors do you see? What strategies does a business need to adopt in responding to the cell phone trend?

  1. To me, this new gadget is just Motorola's attempt to create their own iPhone. Other attempts include the droid and the android, which are clearly still not nearly as popular as the iPhone, and frankly they never will be. Regardless of how many things this new contraption can do,I guarantee the iPhone can do all of those things. Company's should just give up trying to copy the iPhone, and come up with their own ideas.

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

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?

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)

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...
