SINGAPORE: A pilot programme to promote hiring based on skills rather than a candidate’s educational qualifications was introduced on Saturday (Aug 14) by networking site LinkedIn. The skills-based hiring programme started in the United States and a pilot in Singapore will begin in September. The Skills Path initiative, supported by the National Jobs Council, will help job seekers develop and demonstrate their skills, said LinkedIn.  It offers job seekers free LinkedIn learning courses, allows them to validate these skills with assessments and will suggest jobs to these people based on their skills.  Skills Path is currently available for six roles: Customer service, data analyst, project manager, recruiter, supply chain coordinator and sales development. The skill assessments job seekers can take include analytical skills, attention to detail, project management, critical thinking and data analysis. 8 COMPANIES TO START Eight companies - CapitaLand, Carousell, foodpanda, Lazada, NTUC Enterprise, OCBC Bank, ZALORA, and Zuellig Pharma - have joined Skills Path and for a start, they will offer one position each under the programme. LinkedIn’s managing director for Asia Pacific Feon Ang said she foresees that there will be more companies joining the initiative in the future. “We know that companies usually hire based…

Snapchat offers users a lot of useful features, including My Places in the Snap Map. For starters, it can be used to discover popular places nearby. For Snapchat users looking to make the most of their surroundings, there’s My Places, a feature found in the Snap Map. Snapchat offers users the opportunity to post creative selfies or videos, complete with funny filters, along with a direct messaging feature that includes sending a Cameo selfie. For those wondering how to take advantage of My Places, it’s very simple to use and can be a good way to discover new places or just keep track of favorite locations.  Earlier this year, Snapchat partnered with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, using augmented reality to create virtual monuments all around Los Angeles. Snapchat was also part of a free speech case decided by the Supreme Court back in June, involving a high school student and the right to express oneself on social media without being punished by the school. Snap has grown beyond the Snapchat smartphone app in recent years, however. For example, its latest pair of Spectacles offer users the opportunity to view new augmented reality experiences.  To start using My Places, tap…

American Joe Scally, an 18-year-old right back who made just seven appearances while in Major League Soccer, started and shined for Borussia Monchengladbach against defending German champion Bayern Munich. It was his first start in the Bundesliga and he did the business against German internationals Leroy Sane and Thomas Muller, all while technically playing out of position at left back. Scally even contended with the likes of Robert Lewandowski on a couple of occasions while playing the full 90 minutes in an entertaining 1-1 draw.  🇺🇸 Joe Scally (18) v. Bayern: ☑️ 90 min 🚀 4 clearances ❌ 3 interceptions ⚔️ 8 duels won ✈️ 2/2 aerial duels 🤼‍♂️ 2/2 tackles won 🔀 2/3 dribbles won 🎯 4/5 long balls 🦶 59 touches 👏 Kept Sané quiet An absolutely impressive Bundesliga debut from the former NYCFC prospect. 🌟 pic.twitter.com/2sBJlhLOAV — Football Wonderkids (@fbwonderkids) August 13, 2021The Twitter crowd was ready to put Scally in the U.S. national team starting lineup after that effort.

Getting your brand out there is a tough job - here are some tips on what you can do Legal marketing is an important tool in building a law firm’s brand It would be a perfect world if you, as a practising lawyer, could hang out a shingle, like in the “olden days,” as your go-to legal marketing plan for how to start a law firm. The hope is that, like magic, clients would appear wanting your services. Even a couple of decades back, having a listing or ad in the Yellow Pages directories (remember them) would be a simple, generally effective strategy. Prospective clients would turn to the lawyer listings and start calling. Today, despite the connectivity and search capability of the Internet – in fact, maybe even because of those features – it’s getting harder to stand out in the legal industry and have people find you. It would be nice if a LinkedIn or Facebook profile alone would do the trick, and those will certainly help, but it’s not enough. And with roughly 130,000 lawyers across Canada, you likely face a lot of competition. “You can be a brilliant lawyer, but if no one knows who you are, what…

Remember the Tumblr witch who stole human bones from the “poor man’s graveyard” in New Orleans? That was six years ago. Feel old yet? Now it looks like the discussion around whether it is ever legal—or moral—to own and sell human remains has found a new home: TikTok. In the eye of the hurricane is Jon Ferry, founder and CEO of JonsBones, self-described “the leading provider of medical human osteology.” The New York-based website sells authentic human bones “for the purpose of education and understanding”: the cheapest items, bones and ribs, are under $20, with entire human skeletons sold for as little as $6,350. Ferry has amassed 460,000 followers on the app since first opening his profile, @jonsbones, in February 2020. Aside from taking tons of adorable videos of his cat, Ferry posts incessantly about his extensive human bone collection. In addition to the supply of skulls, he has a literal wall decorated with human spines, which he calls “his pride and joy.” Ferry’s company prides itself on providing “responsibly sourced human osteology” and the TikToker himself has said where all these bones come from—and noted that he regularly gets asked whether he’s a grave robber.  Up until the 1960s,…
