The Top 5 skills you need for your dream job!

In a world of competition, to survive and succeed, you need skills. Some of these skills are inborn while others must be nurtured. While different jobs require different skill sets, there are some skills which top the chart and apply to all.

#1 Leadership

This may sound like some skill you need for a managerial position but companies now-a-days are looking for youngsters with leaderships traits and the ability to lead. They are looking for a talent pool that is never shy to put its hand up and take the first step forward. This is a trait which is inborn and can, with some hard work, be acquired.

#2 Team Player

Companies and hiring managers look for people who can get along well with others. They know that being a team player is an invaluable asset anyone can possess. Companies cannot afford to have talent without co-ordination or co-operation. Being someone who can put aside differences and get along well with people, can hugely boost your chances of sealing that dream job.

#3 Critical Thinking

At a time when people make decisions based more on emotion than logic, it is highly appreciable if can think before you act. Critical thinking is an attribute that defines you and shows you distinct and different in a crowd. Companies look for people who can think deep and act after having analyzed all the permutations and combinations in a problem. They look for someone who can take one shot at a problem and solve it forever.

#4 Communication

This will forever be one skill, that everyone needs to possess, to achieve success.Communication is the art of effectively conveying your thoughts so that they become seeds for an action. Hiring managers look for people who can take a thought and turn it into reality. They look for someone who can make even the most complex of topics, easy and understandable, for the simplest of minds. It is an art which one needs and one which guarantees success.

#5 Motivation

Motivation is as equally important as all the above, previously mentioned skills. Companies have started to realize that individuals who are truly motivated and enthused, drive them forward. They do not approve of someone who lacks interest and is not motivated to do his work. Find the job which motivates you and which keeps the fire in your belly burning. That is your ticket to success.

Peel Turns Your Apple Watch Into A Universal Remote Control

Does it make sense to use your Apple Watch as a remote control for your media devices? Smart remote maker Peel thinks so, having just launched a universal remote control application for the Apple Watch which lets you operate over 400,000 models of home electronics, including not only televisions, but also DVD players, and even audio and streaming devices, like the Roku. The Apple Watch app is actually an extension of the company’s existing smart remote app for iPhone . And while in a few cases the new Watch app will allow you to control your devices via Wi-Fi, for the most part, it will require the Pronto hardware just like the iPhone version does. The Pronto 360-degree IR blaster is what turns the iPhone, and now the Apple Watch, into a smart universal remote control. A $49.99 piece of hardware about the size of a salt shaker, Pronto sits in your entertainment center to provide the IR capabilities required to operate your TV and other electroni...

Intel announces the first 14 nanometre processor

At the Computex conference in Taipei, chipmaker Intel has revealed a fanless mobile PC reference design using the first of its next-generation 14nm "Broadwell" processors. The 2 in 1 pictured here is a 12.5" screen that is just 7.2 mm thick with keyboard detached and weighs 670 grams. The Surface Pro 3 – for comparison – is 9.1 mm thick and weighs 800 grams. It includes a media dock that provides additional cooling for a burst of performance. The next-generation chip is purpose-built for 2 in 1s and will hit the market later in 2014 . Called the Intel Core M, it will be the most energy-efficient Intel Core processor in the company's history with power usage cut by up to 45 percent, resulting in 60 percent less heat. The majority of designs based on this new chip are expected to be fanless, with up to 32 hours of battery life, offering both a lightning-fast tablet and razor-thin laptop. Intel is also delivering innovation and performance for the ...

Google, Microsoft, Mozilla And Others Team Up To Launch WebAssembly, A New Binary Format For The Web

Google, Microsoft, Mozilla and the engineers on the WebKit project today announced that they have teamed up to launch WebAssembly, a new binary format for compiling applications for the web. The web thrives on standards and, for better or worse, JavaScript is its programming language. Over the years, however, we’ve seen more and more efforts that allow developers to work around some of the limitations of JavaScript by building compilers that transpile code in other languages to JavaScript. Some of these projects focus on adding new features to the language (like Microsoft’s TypeScript) or speeding up JavaScript (like Mozilla’s asm.jsproject). Now, many of these projects are starting to come together in the form of WebAssmbly. The new format is meant to allow programmers to compile their code for the browser (currently the focus is on C/C++, with other languages to follow), where it is then executed inside the J...

Barnes & Noble is killing itself

I’ve been chronicling the slow demise of B&N for years now, watching the company bleed out, drop by drop, until it has become a shell of its former value. B&N was a cultural center in places without cultural centers. It was a stopover on rainy days in New York, Chicago, and Cleveland and it was a place you could go to get your kids’ first books. That’s mostly over now. On Monday the company laid off 1,800 people. This offered a cost savings of $40 million. But that’s particularly interesting. That means each of those people made an average of $22,000 or so per year and minimum wage workers – hourly folks who are usually hit hardest during post-holiday downturns – would be making $15,000. In fact, what B&N did was fire all full time employees at 781 stores. From a former employee: On Monday morning, every single Barnes & Noble location told their full-time employees to pack up and leave. The eliminated positions were as follows: the head cashiers (those are the pe...
