The most overlooked question is also the one most candidates are
unprepared to answer. This is often because job applicants don't do
their homework on the position. Your job is to illustrate why you are
the most qualified candidate. Review the job description and
qualifications very closely to identify the skills and knowledge that
are critical to the position, then identify experiences from your past
that demonstrate those skills and knowledge.
Why Is There A Gap In Your Work History?
Employers understand that people lose their jobs and it's not
always easy to find a new one fast. When answering this question, list
activities you'??ve been doing during any period of unemployment.
Freelance projects, volunteer work or taking care of family members all
let the interviewer know that time off was spent productively.
Tell Me One Thing You Would Change About Your Last Job
Beware over sharing or making disparaging comments about former
coworkers or supervisors, as you might be burning bridges. But an
additional trouble point in answering this query is showing yourself to
be someone who can'??t vocalize their problems as they arise. Why
didn'??t you correct the issue at the time? Be prepared with an answer
that doesn't criticize a colleague or paint you in an unflattering
light. A safe scapegoat? Outdated technology.
Tell Me About Yourself
People tend to meander through their whole resumes and mention
personal or irrelevant information in answering--a serious no-no. Keep
your answer to a minute or two at most. Cover four topics: early years,
education, work history, and recent career experience. Emphasize this
last subject. Remember that this is likely to be a warm-up question.
Don't waste your best points on it. And keep it clean--??no weekend
activities should be mentioned.
Explain A Complex Database To Your Eight-Year-Old Nephew
Explaining public relations, explaining mortgages, explaining
just about anything in terms an eight-year-old can understand shows the
interviewer you have solid and adaptable understanding of what it is
they do. Do your homework, know the industry and be well-versed.
What Would The Person Who Likes You Least In The World Say About You?
Highlight an aspect of your personality that could initially
seem negative, but is ultimately a positive. An example? Impatience.
Used incorrectly this can be bad in a workplace. But stressing
timeliness and always driving home deadlines can build your esteem as a
leader. And that'??s a great thing to show off in an interview.
Tell Me About A Time When Old Solutions Didn't Work
The interviewer is trying to identify how knowledgeable you are
in today'??s work place and what new creative ideas you have to solving
problems. You may want to explore new technology or methods within your
industry to be prepared for. Twitter-phobes, get tweeting. Stat.
What's The Biggest Risk You've Ever Taken?
Some roles require a high degree of tenacity and the ability to
pick oneself up after getting knocked down. Providing examples of your
willingness to take risks shows both your ability to fail and rebound,
but also your ability to make risky or controversial moves that succeed.
Have You Ever Had A Supervisor Challenge A Decision?
Interviewers are looking for an answer that shows
humility--??and the ability to take direction. The anecdote should be
telling, but it'??s the lesson learned, not the situation, that could
land you the job.
Describe A Time When Your Team Did Not Agree
Questions pertaining to difficulties in the past are a way for
employers to anticipate your future behavior by understanding how you
behaved in the past and what you learned. Clarify the situation
succinctly and explain what specific action you took to come to a
consensus with the group. Then describe the result of that action.
It
was invented by as many as 23 people, most notably Thomas Edison, who
patented his system in 1878. His first bulb used a carbon filament and
lasted 13.5 hours; early incandescent bulbs were assembled by hand.
Alarm Clock
Alarm
clocks predate the Seth Thomas brand by centuries, but the clockmaker's
1876 model fit on a nightstand and helped drag the Industrial
Revolution out of bed.
Telephone
Alexander
Graham Bell's interest in the education of deaf people-he began
teaching at the Boston School for Deaf Mutes in 1871-led him to invent
the microphone and, in 1876, the telephone, which he called the
"electrical speech machine." In a 1912 issue of Popular Mechanics,
Bell said, "To tell the truth, as a practical man, I did not quite
believe it; as a theoretical man, I saw a speaking telephone by which we
could have the means of transmitting speech and reproducing it in
distant places. But it really seemed too good to be true, that one could
possibly create, by the action of the voice itself, electrical impulses
intense enough to serve any practical purpose." The device debuted at
the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876, leading Brazilian
Emperor Dom Pedro to exclaim: "My God, it talks!"
Personal Computer
The forerunners of modern personal computers
were introduced in the mid-1970s as kits. Little did pioneers like Bill
Gates and Paul Allen, who wrote programming language for the MITS
Altair 8800 kit, or Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who designed the
skeletal Apple I, know what was in store. The Apple II, which debuted in
1977 with color graphics and an attachable floppy disk drive, ushered
in a new technological era-and when IBM introduced its Personal Computer
in 1981, the PC began its slow acceptance as a crucial business tool
instead of merely a geeky toy. In 1983, there were 10 million personal
computers in the U.S.; today 80 percent of American households have a
notebook or PC, creating unprecedented levels of efficiency, capability,
and access to news, music and entertainment.
Hypodermic Syringe
The
promise of the hollow needle, invented in 1844, was realized a century
later as injected vaccines spared millions from polio, tuberculosis,
rabies and more.
Television
The
origins of television stretch back to the late 19th century, to a time
before it was even technically feasible. In 1877, civil servant George
Carey was already sketching drawings for a "selenium camera" that would
allow people to "see by electricity;" at the same time, Thomas Edison
and Alexander Graham Bell were theorizing about telephones that could
transmit images along with sound. Modern television was demonstrated in 1939 at the New York World's Fair-and
soon TV beamed dramatic images of the Civil Rights movement; political
debate and casualties of war; astronauts, pop musicians, sports heroes
and more directly into American living rooms. In 1949, fewer than 1
million U.S. households had a TV; four years later, that number had
ballooned to 25 million. For a half-century, TV has stood as the No. 1
source for Americans' news and entertainment, and today, 99 percent of
U.S. households have a TV. We spend an average of 2.8 hours per day
watching them.
Radio
Police
switchboards jammed. Drivers fled cities. Doctors volunteered to treat
the injured. Why all the ruckus? On Oct. 30, 1938-the day before
Halloween-Orson Welles presented a radio play he based on H.G. Wells's
sci-fi novel The War of the Worlds. The Mercury Theatre on the Air
presentation sounded like a news broadcast of a Martian invasion,
complete with fake bulletins that interrupted dance music. The resulting
hysteria dramatically revealed the power of gadget No. 2, the first
instrument of instant mass communication. Patented in England in 1896 as
"wireless telegraphy" by Guglielmo Marconi-who
based his work on technology developed by Nikola Tesla-radios were in
80 percent of U.S. homes by the time those aliens landed in New Jersey.
Mobile/Smartphone
With
origins tracing back to Finland and Japan in the '70s, mobile phones
have fast become the most widely used gadgets in the world. The first
billion units sold in 20 years, the second billion in four and the third
billion in two. By the end of 2010, the subscription rate stood at 5
billion, or 75 percent of all people on earth. The tech leaped forward
in 1983 with the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, the first truly portable
cellphone. The smartphone, with us since 2000, is now a pocket-size PC.
Wireless and GPS- and multimedia-enabled, it facilitates instantaneous
personal connections that make phone conversations seem like cave
paintings. People of developing nations, even those without an
electrical grid, can tap into the world's commerce and culture. After a
scant 11 years of development, the device seems to have limitless
potential.
Windows 8.1: release date, new features, screenshots
Smaller tablets
Windows 8.1 will have better support for smaller tablets. The Start
screen adapts to smaller form factors to work better in portrait mode.
Developers will be able to design apps specifically for smaller form
factors.
The virtual keyboard has been redesigned to suggests words as you
type. Rather than removing your hand from the virtual keyboard to select
the word, Windows 8.1 recognises gestures, letting you pick the word
you want by stroking the space bar.
Start button returns
The much-missed Start button returns to the desktop - although not in the form many have hoped for.
There's no old-fashioned Start menu. Instead, pressing the Start
button overlays the Windows 8 Start screen tiles over the desktop
wallpaper. It's a lot less jarring than before, making the new Start
screen feel like less of an intruder on desktop PCs.
Right clicking on the Start button also brings up the power user menu.
That menu now now has options to shutdown and restart, meaning users can
reboot directly from the Start button, similar to previous versions of
Windows.
Direct to desktop
Windows 8.1 will also feature an option to bypass the much-maligned tile-based Start Screen.
The new Start Screen has proven controversial, with many desktop and
laptop users bemoaning the fact that they can't simply skip straight to
the more mouse-and-keyboard friendly desktop of old.
The option to boot straight to desktop is now offered, although not switched on by default.
Start screen wallpaper and lock screen
Windows 8.1 will allow users to set their own wallpaper on the Start
screen. Currently, users are merely allowed to choose from a selection
of preset "accents" and to select a colour scheme.
The Settings charm includes a new Personalize option that provides
more granular control over the appearance of the Start menu backgrounds
and colours, including the accent colour of the Start charm itself.
Windows 8.1 also includes new "motion accents" - animated wallpapers that move as you scroll through the Start screen.
The lock screen can now be used as a digital photo frame, displaying a
slideshow of images stored on the user's PC or in cloud services such
as SkyDrive.
New tile sizes
Windows 8.1 offers support for more tile sizes. Windows 8 supports
two - "smaller" and "larger" - but Blue throws another two sizes into
the mix. App tiles can now be reduced down to thumbnail size, occupying
only a quarter of the space an existing "smaller" tile occupies.
There’s also a new super-sized tile, the size of two of Windows 8’s
"larger" tiles. This allows you to display more live information on
tiles such as Mail and Weather, providing a detailed synopsis of recent
messages in your inbox or a long-range weather forecast, for example.
New apps
Windows 8.1 includes a new photo editing tool built directly into the
OS, with radial controls to make it easier to add filters and tweak
images.
Bing Food & Drink features recipes, and shopping lists, and can
be used with a hands-free mode – this uses the webcam to recognise
gestures to flip through pages, so you don’t need to touch the screen.
Xbox Music has been redesigned, featuring free music streaming and a
personalised radio player that creates playlists based on your
preferences.
There’s a new Mail app in the works, but it won’t show up until the
final version in the autumn. It will feature the same "Sweep" tool from
Outlook.com that lets you automatically clean up newsletters and other
messages.
Microsoft also showed off a "pre-alpha" version of PowerPoint for
Windows RT, but didn’t show off any other touch versions of Office apps.
Windows 8.1 will also feature a built-in 3D printing tool, letting
users print to devices such as the MakerBot directly from their device
without any specialised software.
Revamped search
One of the biggest criticisms of Windows 8 was that the search menu had
been hobbled, only returning results for apps by default. Windows 8.1
reverts to a unified search menu, which as you can see from the
screenshot above, returns results for apps, settings and files as you
begin to type.
Split-screen apps
Windows 8 allowed you to put two "Metro" apps on the same screen, but
only with one at almost full-size and the other running down a thin
strip. Blue now allows you to give both apps equal billing, in an echo
of the familiar snap-to-edges style of the Windows desktop.
Windows 8.1 allow mores than two apps to be "snapped" onto the screen
side-by-side, handy when working on a large monitor or with multiple
monitors.
This allows better multitasking, Microsoft said. For example, if
you're in Outlook reading an email, and click a link, the browser pops
up next to it, showing them each in half the screen, letting you compose
an email while viewing a page at the same time. Click another link, and
another window opens, showing the two browsers at 25% of the screen.
The windows can be resized to any ratio, rather than be limited to the two-thirds/one-third ratio in Windows 8
Revamped Windows Store
The Windows Store hasn't exactly been an unbridled hit, which may be
one of the reasons why Microsoft has decided to redesign it for Windows
8.1.
The current Store homepage displays nothing but the app's name, price
and rating alongside a graphic of the highlighted apps. The new design
includes a text description with each app. Microsoft will also
highlight six apps in each category, making better use of the available
screen space.
Individual app pages will highlight similar apps, once again
increasing the visibility of apps in the Store. The Top Free and Top
Paid For apps will also be listed on the Store homepage, making them a
little more accessible than they are currently.
Mercifully, you can also now search the Store without having to use
the Charms, with the appearance of a Search box in the top right-hand
corner of the screen.
Internet Explorer 11
A leaked Windows 8.1 build gave us the first sighting of Internet
Explorer 11, in both Metro and desktop modes. The appearance of the
browser remains largely identical in both versions, but there are a
couple of intriguing new features.
The Settings menu in the Metro version of IE11 now includes a "Show
synced tabs" option. This suggests Microsoft will allow users to
synchronise tabs across devices, and possibly even from Windows Phone 8
devices, although the feature wasn’t functional in the leaked build.
SkyDrive integration
SkyDrive is much more tightly integrated into Windows 8.1, with its
own entry in the main Settings menu, allowing you to view the amount of
free space you have in your account.
There are also new options to automatically upload photos and videos
to your SkyDrive at either "good" or "best" quality. SkyDrive can also
be set as the default save location for a variety of different app
files. Perhaps the most intriguing option is to use SkyDrive for online
backups of the device.
Business features
Microsoft showed off a selection of business features that will arrive in Windows 8.1 at TechEd in New Orleans.
That includes networking features, such as support for wireless
secondary displays, auto-triggered VPNs that turn on automatically when
security is required, and NFC pairing with enterprise printers, letting
users tap their device to a printer to connect. "No more hunting on your
network for the correct printer and no need to buy a special printer;
just attach a NFC tag to your existing machines," Microsoft said.
Windows 8.1 devices with mobile broadband will also be able to act as personal Wi-Fi hotspots.
New security features in Windows 8.1 include "modern access controls"
- such as fingerprint authentication - and the addition of network
behaviour monitoring to Windows Defender, the antivirus included with
Windows 8.
Windows 8.1 will feature improvements to admin controls, too. IT
departments will be able to control the Start Screen to keep key apps
front and centre and ensure consistency across company devices. PCs can
be set up to show a set app only, such as a customer service tool for a
store.
Bring your own device will be encouraged by making it easier to wipe business data from personal computers.
New app settings
There are also new settings for apps, allowing you to set quiet
hours, so notifications don’t chime and wake you at 2am. There are
options to allow incoming calls during the quiet hours, and let calls
switch on the homescreen, suggesting Microsoft is looking to beef up the
telephone features of Windows, possibly in conjunction with its Skype
subsidiary.
There’s a new App Sizes listing, making it easier to work out which
Windows Store apps are stealing your disk space, and a new option to set
app defaults for web browsing, email, music, video and photos, which
indicates Microsoft is wary of another EU fine for app bundling.
Release date
The final version of Windows 8.1 isn't now expected to be released to the public until October, even though it will be released to manufacturers at the end of August.
Microsoft is expected to use the intervening period to eradicate any
bugs found in the RTM version and to give manufacturers an opportunity
to refresh their hardware line-up before the official launch.
It will be a free update available from the Windows Store, for both Windows 8 and Windows RT.
After my Previous post on How to Play Subway Surfers on PC getting huge response i decide to share some more best android games to play on PC.this time its for Temple run lovers.here i explained how you can play temple run on your windows and Mac for free.
Temple run almost every android user and their friends knows about it.One of best games in Android .but what if you don't have smart phone and got addicted to temple run by playing in your friends mobile?
We have solution for that now you can play temple run on your PC:
On my tests comparing Windows 8 performance with that of Windows 7 on
the same computer, Windows 8 started up more than twice as fast as
Windows 7. In a comparison with Mac OS X Mountain Lion, running in Boot
Camp on a MacBook, Windows 8 even started up faster than Apple's latest
desktop operating system.
2. A whole new world of apps.
Windows 8 gives PC users a whole new world of full-screen,
touch-friendly, Web-connected apps to explore. And these new apps can
even display relevant information on their Windows Start screen tiles,
something impossible in Windows 7 or just about any other operating
system around, save Windows Phone. The new Windows Store—analogous to
Apple's iTunes App Store—makes discovering and installing these
new-style apps a breeze.
3. SkyDrive integration.
Microsoft's cloud service has become way, way more than just online
storage. Sure, it still lets you save and access files to an online
space that's accessible from a Web browser or apps that run on not only
Windows, but also Mac OS X, iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
4. Better Security, Less-intrusive updates.
PC Magazine networking and security analyst Fahmida Rashid considers
Windows 8 "the most secure version of Windows yet." This stems from a
couple of things, starting with Secure Boot.
5. First-class touch input, but still fine with keyboard and mouse.
In some ways, touch-screen input on Windows 8 is superior that of the
Apple iPad. For example, you can do everything you need to by swiping
with your thumbs, making a tablet easier to use by holding it by the
sides.
Extra advantage is that dual screen:
it works on both application at a single time,try windows8 and enjoy friends.....!
