Intel is Looking For Brilliant Minds

Intel dropped ‘looking for brilliant minds’ email recently, which may signal that they’re actively looking for some new blood now. Or is it just a piece of email meaning nothing? Before I confuse you further, that is just an automated email to whoever that have registered to their job portal before.

Well, it’s been almost 4 years since my registration. The email comes with a little bit surprise, as Intel has the history of not sending email to registrants in their job portal database, even when they’re actively hiring. I can’t recall if I’ve ever received any emails from them before. That may have changed now, when bright employee is hard to to get nowadays. I’ll leave whatever motive behind the email is, but if you’re looking for jobs with them, this piece of email hopefully helps you to land the job of your dream.

Facebook want you if you can solve their puzzle.

facebook Facebook want you if you can solve their puzzle.

Tech company as big and as complicated as Facebook is not a surprise candidate to be among the companies admired by computer science & IT students grads or even the experienced worker.

Apart from its ‘glamor’ image, the compensation package for engineering related post it very attractive where 70k is very common. Top notch fresh grad from prestigious universities such as Standford or MIT are said to be paid up to 95K per year.This is a whole lot of money right, although in average, Facebook employees earn only 41K.

You know what this means? Facebook’s engineers can easily broke into the Forbes’s top 10 paying job in the US after working for few years!!

With much stake to offer, the entry path definitely not an easy one. Beside the normal hiring process, one way to be there is through the programming puzzle, The writer himself(who w solve 2 puzzles to get on board.

For fact, Facebook receive nearly 1,000 submissions a month. Out of that number, only 10% of submissions are fully correct, but only the best of the best get their chance for interviewed. In average, about 5% to 10% of Facebook new engineers are hired because of their puzzle submissions.

A golden opportunity that rarely to come, especially to highly skillful techies, whom without any formal certification or degrees. But the fact above reminds that the puzzle is not an easy task, and keep in mind Windows specific solution is not accepted. So forget about .net.

The (not so true) Penang manufacturing plants crisis

amd The (not so true) Penang manufacturing plants crisis

Lately, the retrenchment, VSS, and laid off has gotten more highlight online and offline. Although certain parties deny that economy is in crisis, but the fact that it has started impacting the manufacturing sectors earlier than expected is the sign that it will later impact downstream & upstream industries dependent on it.

Malaysia particularly Penang, where most of manufacturing facilities are residing have started to feel the pain. There are numerous emails saying this and that companies are going to close, VSS or take a long shut down during incoming holiday. Although there are indeed companies which are affected, but some appears to be inaccurate.

For instance, on one email circulated around (copy here) where it states that AMD Penang is going to offer VSS to 500 employees appears to be untrue. The truth is that, this is the number for worldwide retrenchment, as denied by its HR.

But if you do quick googling on this matter, a lot of blogs & forums have posted this news without doing any early fact finding. If you pay a little more attention to the end of first search result page (SERP), you’ll figure out the correct news. But the problem is most of us doesn’t pay attention to that and how many of us actually do some ‘googling’ or researhing before making any posts??

Yeah, I know that you’re not a journalist, but at least be little bit more responsible of what you’re writing.

Imagine if this post read by anyone who has son/daughter/husband/wife/relative working in AMD. What will they feel? And what will happen if they happen to have stroke or heart attack???

It is nature that such news gaining a lot of attention, and spreading like fire. Everyone wants a piece of traffics from such ‘breaking’ news right?? Everyone wants to be the first to report it without thinking of the consequences.

Obviously this is not the first case and not that serious. If you have a good memory, few months back there was a similar issue where a journalist from 1 local online news portal resigned after admitting posting a fake news that he received from unconfirmed resource.

But the damage has been done. It has been read by thousands of people who will misinterpret it, although he appologized about it later on (at least he does so once he’s aware of it). So the responsibility to post only accurate news not only at the hand premier online news portal or mainstream media (which we see sometimes lacking of it), but it has to start also from you and me as well.
