cbsnews.com – Joe Mullings – Don’t make these job interview mistakes

Show you are keenly interested in a job by asking probing questions about the role, such as, “How will success be measured?” and “What’s the growth trajectory of this role?”

It can also be helpful to send prepared questions to the interviewer in advance of a meeting, according to Joe Mullings, CEO of The Mullings Group, a search firm. That shows initiative, while also ensuring a substantive conversation — one that you’ve had a chance to prepare for in advance.

“It sounds a little bold to send those questions to a hiring manager, but if they think you’re high-maintenance or are dismissive, imagine what the rest of your interaction is going to be like,” he said.

It’s also OK — and even recommended — that candidates discuss salary and compensation early on in the recruiting process.

businessinsider.com : Dancing Seahorse Labs -I got Web3 VIP access to see Jack Harlow in concert through an NFT club called Dancing Seahorse. But the experience felt geared to music fans, not just crypto diehards.

My early impression of Dancing Seahorse, a startup promising “global access to a variety of exclusive experiences” through non-fungible tokens, was that it felt neither Web3 nor particularly exclusive.

The company had invited me to a VIP suite at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, to see the rapper Jack Harlow perform. I’d gotten my complimentary ticket through SeatGeek, a decidedly Web2 company, and stood in line for nearly an hour waiting for the doors to open. As it turned out, I’d been told the wrong time to arrive, and Alex Nahai, Dancing Seahorse’s cofounder and CEO, had been delayed by a traffic checkpoint.

eandt.theiet.com – The Gallery: RECON electric VTOL craft takes to the sky

US aviation company Ryse Aero Technologies has completed testing of its ultralight RECON electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) craft in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Ryse Aero Technologies’ testing of flight-control systems saw the RECON complete a seamless take-off, controlled hover, forward flight, pivot turn manoeuvres and a smooth landing. Erik Stephansen, the company’s director of regulatory affairs and pilot for the test, described the RECON as “effortless and very enjoyable” to fly. “I was thrilled at how I could literally hover, take my hands off the controls and the RECON sat there stable and safe,” he says.
