How To Prepare For An Interview

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 · 0 comments


  • It's always a good idea to research a company before your interview.
  • Have a pencil and paper available during the phone interview, especially if you're interviewing for a technical position.
  • Request a copy of the job description from the person who schedules your interview.
  • Gather all of your prior company and supervisor information, as well as contact information for your references, before your on-site interview; it'll help you fill out your employment application faster.
  • Know your own resume, and be prepared to share really specific examples of the challenges you tackled and the impact you made in prior roles.
  • Depending on the job, you should be ready to go to a whiteboard to demonstrate some of your software-design, logic, planning, or process-design skills.
  • Prepare some good questions for your interviewers. Maybe ask how their group connects to the company mission and what projects they're hoping you might be able to help with--after all, you're here to interview us, too.

The First Email

· 0 comments

Email is by far and away the most popular application on the internet. Just about everyone uses email, and generally people use it all of the time. Some users may send one or two messages a week, others dozens, and some, like me, send and receive thousands.

It all began in 1968 with a company called Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN). This firm was hired by the United States Defense Department to create something called the ARPANET, which later became the internet. ARPANET stands for Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, and it's purpose was to create a method that military and educational institutions could communicate with each other.

In 1971, an engineer named Ray Tomlinson was assigned to a project called SNDMSG. This program was not new, in fact it had existed for a number of years. By today's standards it was more than primitive. All it did was allow users on the same machine to send messages to each other. Users could create text files which would then be delivered to mailboxes on the same machine.

A mailbox was simply a text file which could have additional text added to the end. Data could be added, but not deleted or changed. The name of the mailbox was the name of the text file.

Ray was assigned to make this simple application do a little bit more. As it turned out, he had been working on something called CYPNET, which was intended to transfer files between computers within the ARPANET. "The idea occurred to me that CYPNET could append material to a mailbox file as readily as SNDMSG could," said Ray.

So he modified CYPNET to perform one additional task - to append to a file. This was pretty simple and the change was quickly made.

After that, Ray made a decision which changed history. He created the format of the email address. He defined it as a mailbox name, the @ sign, and the machine's node name. He used the @ sign because "it seemed to make sense. I used the @ sign to indicate that the user was 'at' some other host rather than being local."

He sent himself a message, the contents of which have been lost in time. The first email message was unceremoniously sent between two PDP-10 nodes of the ARPANET network. History had been made.

Email usage grew quickly. In fact, a study two years later found that 75% of all ARPANET traffic was email.

One of the first big email programs available to the general public (at least the first major one to catch on) is Eudora. This email client was first written in 1988 by Steve Dorner. At the time he was an employee at the University of Illinois.

Eudora was named for the now deceased Eudora Welty, an author from America. Eudora was the first email client which provided a graphic interface. It was free when it first came out, although once it was purchased by Qualcomm in 1994 it became a professional product.

Like most applications on the web, Eudora was king for a few years, then quickly supplanted by the email clients that came with Netscape and Internet Explorer. Both email clients became popular not because they were better than Eudora, but because they were provided for free with the web browser.

According to a recent report by Forrester Research, more than half of all Americans use email for an average of half an hour each day. They claim a total of 87 million Americans are active email users.

If you don’t measure, you can’t improve.

But the worst part will be measure and focus on the wrong things that we can’t improve.

What are the right things to focus and measure?

Our advise will be always focus on factor/input rather then result is the whole concept of improvement (growing).

For example, everyone know

1+1=2
To have the end result of 4, what can we do?

2+2=4

We change input factor to 2 so that we can have 4. - you can’t have 1+1=4 can we:)

Through this simple example, it’s illustrate that to change the end result, we need to change the input factor. So, to measure and improve on our input factor will be the key to success on improvement.

What Are The Input Factor To Measure And Improve For Making Money Online?

  1. You Number Of Lead – Your website visitors
  2. Conversion Rate – Percentage they click on our ads or buy affiliate product.
  3. Number Of Transaction – Ask your visitor to buy more
  4. Average Dollar Sales – Ask them to buy high profit margin stuffs.
  5. Profit Margin – Cutting Your Cost and improve your bottom-line

Improve And Measure Promotion System:
Lead x Conversion Rate = #Customer

Improve And Measure Monetize System :
#Customer x Number Of Transaction x Average Dollar Sales Price = #Total Turnover

Improve And Measure Operating System :
#Total Turnover x Profit Margins = Profit

The end result will be PROFIT, and you need to improve your lead, conversion rate, transaction, average sales, and profit margin in order to improve your PROFIT.

There are more tricks to come on what to focus and measure. And we had spend tremendous time to constantly measure and improve our business, and we going to share our experience and journey in our hoobin.com here. Quality is important here.

What are the things you can do to improve the input factor?

  • Lead = Promotion
  • Conversion Rate = Copy Writing, Information Architect, Display Optimization, Better Affiliate Product.
  • Number Of Transaction = Revisit, Mailing List, Special Offer such as buy 2 get 1 free.
  • Average Dollar Sales = Higher Pay Per Click, Higher eCPM, Higher Affiliate Profit
  • Margin = Cut down your operating cost and your writing cost.

So far, the biggest challenge for improvement is how we link our measurement to the next action taken to improve.
