In an on-stage announcement at Mobile World Congress, Foursquare founder and CEO Denis Crowley said the location-based startup had added five new languages to its mobile application.
These are Spanish, French, German, Italian and Japanese. He said the new app (2.2.5) will be available on versions for the iPhone, Blackberry, and Android today.
The analytics platform remains oriented towards the US, but Crowley said they were looking at further internationalisation. He added that they would be focusing on the API this year.
A Samsung Focus document revealed that a microSD card when inserted into Windows Phone 7 is considered a ''permanent modification'' resulting in irreversible changes to card. A Focus FAQ page, states that once a card is added, ''it'll no longer be readable, writable, or even formattable on any other devices such as computers, cameras, printers, and so on''.
Hello aspiring resume
writers. Let me ask you a couple of questions. Would you expect to find a story
about foreign affairs on a sports website? How about a stash of quick dinner
recipes on a career site like Dice?
The obvious answer is no,
because most publications have savvy editors who know their audience and keep
them engaged by offering them customized content. I'm Cat
Miller and this is DiceTV.
Your resume is a written
document but is it employer-centric? That means, putting the focus on the
employer.
Editors start by reviewing
market research to get a feel for their audience. In this case, the audience
for IT job seekers includes screeners, who quickly scan resumes to identify
qualified candidates before passing them along to hiring managers. Within the
audience are technical and non-technical personnel, so you have to write for
the entire group.
You can create an emotional
connection by reading the job description, researching the company and then
mimicking their language and tone throughout the resume.
So how do you appeal to a
diverse group of reviewers? By putting yourself in their shoes and offering
each one a host of customized, relevant information that specifically addresses
the requirements in the job description. Remember, relevant is in the eye of
the beholder. You've got to create tightly focused copy and be disciplined
enough to eliminate superfluous information.
Appeal to screeners by
including a summary of your qualifications at the top. Then highlight your
critical skills by using boldface type. Speak to technical reviewers by
providing a detailed list of your technical qualifications in the same order as
the job description.
Satisfy scrutinizers by
providing examples - a lot of examples - of your skills and experience in your
work history. Write to business managers and non-technical staff by spelling
out acronyms on first reference and going beyond a litany of technical tasks
and responsibilities to describe your business impact.
Remember, it's easy to write
to your audience, if you place their needs above yours. I'm Cat miller and this
is DiceTV. We now return you to your regular desktop.
