If you think about how the job placement game is played you really have three options: lead, follow, or get out of the way.

19 Best React Interview Questions Answers - Algrim.co

19 Best React Interview Questions Answers - Algrim.co div Is perfectly valid JSX syntax. Notice that we are using native javascript directly within our template; this is what makes JSX a powerful tool within React. 14. What is one tool that helps debug React applications, and how? React dev tools is a great tool for analyzing and debugging React applications. It can be used as an add-on to the standard Chrome or Firefox developer tools, and it provides unique interfaces and interactions for exploring the structure of your React component tree and the internal state and props being used to display data to your users. In React dev tools, a user can make changes to various pieces of application state in their components to view outcomes on the UI, and they have an easily navigable interface for traversing the tree structure of their React application. 15. Explain the lifecycle method componentWillUnmount(); componentWillUnmount() is another React component life-cycle method. Unlike componentDidMount(), which is executing directly after the component is rendered to the DOM. componentWillUnmount() is executed directly before your React component is removed from the DOM. This method is often used to clean up event bindings or interval functions (that were often set in the componentDidMount lifecycle method). 16. What does React mean by saying the React framework is the “V” in MVC? React is only intended to handle the rendering of the visual layer of your application. For this reason, it is compared to the View in a traditional Model-View-Controller application. In a practical sense, this means that React components are not intended to handle responsibilities like fetching data from an API, holding/maintaining the full application state, or executing algorithmic logic. For those types of responsibilities, React recommends using a state container library like Redux. 17. Explain Prop Types. Prop Types are a way for a developer to declare the data type of an argument (prop) that is passed to a React component. When declaring the Prop Types for a React component, the developer can declare that a prop must be one of the primitive Javascript types like String, Number, Array, or Object for example, or, the developer can also create their own custom data types and declare those as Prop Types for components. Props can also be declared as required or optional, and defaults can be provided for Props. Using Prop Types is intended to provide some of the benefits to a full type system like that in Java or C++. 18. Is the following a valid return value for a React component’s render() method? `divHello/divdivWorld/div`. In all but the most recent versions of React, this is not a valid return value for a React component, because there is no wrapper element surrounding the two adjacent div elements. The latest versions of React (post mid-2018, > version 16) have started adding support for adjacent elements with no wrapper. 19. When is the `key` attribute used in React? What can happen if it is not used? The `key` attribute should be added to list elements in React components when the component is responsible for iterating over some iterable object and rendering an element to the DOM for each iteration. React uses the `key` attribute internally when running its reconciliation algorithm in order to decide which elements on the screen need to be re-rendered. Neglecting to use the `key` attribute on list elements can lead to unexpected and incorrect rendering behavior, and will cause warnings to be thrown in the developer console.

Personal Branding Interview Robert Kiyosaki - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Interview Robert Kiyosaki - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Today, I spoke to Robert Kiyosaki, who is the author of the popular classic and international bestselling book, Rich Dad Poor Dad.   He has sold tens of millions of copies of his books and his latest book is called, Conspiracy of The Rich. In this interview, Robert explains why now is the best time to be an entrepreneur, how aspiring entrepreneurs can get started today, characteristics of an entrepreneur and much more. Is now the best time (in this economy) to be an entrepreneur? Well because the number one reason is because the economy needs jobs. The government can’t create jobs, only entrepreneurs can. There is an international needs for more entrepreneurs than ever before. But also, when the economy is down, it means the old guys are dying and the new guys can come on. And plus, you have the web now. The web is creating more entrepreneurs than ever before. When I was just starting out we didn’t even have cell phones. How can an aspiring entrepreneur with an idea start to build a business these days? The number one thing is that it takes guts and it takes good advisers. You have to be careful who you take advice from. Most people are not entrepreneurs, so if you ask them if you should start a business, absolutely they would say no. So the benefit I had was my rich dad and all he told me that I was going to screw up a number of times and he would be there to guide me after I screwed up. Whereas my poor dad, who was an employee who said not to do it because it was too risky. What are the top three characteristics all entrepreneurs have? I started my entrepreneurial career in 1974. If I knew how much I didn’t know, I would never had started. So the number one characteristic is you gotta have guts, you gotta to be humble and you gotta learn quickly because there’s no path. It’s constant learning. I’m still learning today at my age, especially with the new social media coming out and all that. I’m scrambling to work faster. So if you don’t’ have that capability of being humble and learning, you’re toast because the world is changing too fast. How important has branding been for you and your company? How have you leveraged the Rich Dad brand to create an empire? If you’re not a brand, you’re a commodity. The brand sells before you good and bad, so branding is essential. If you’re not a brand, you’re a commodity and if you’re a commodity you have to charge less. It is harder. I learned about branding when I was working with the rock bands like Duran Duran, Iron Maiden, Boy George and the Police. It was really easy to open doors with a brand, but it was really tough if you’re a no name brand band. What role has social media played in your life (Twitter, Facebook, etc) as an entrepreneur? Well I said I’m an old guy and I’m into it but I spend probably $200,000 a month on social media. I have to hire kids basically, 20 year old guys, to do it for me. I have two different sets of web teams and all that, it’s crucial. It’s the whole new frontier, its fun. What are your daily habits that have made (and keep) you successful? I think the number one thing is focus. Success is not possible without sacrifice and I’m willing to focus and sacrifice. I’m not that bright and I don’t learn that quickly so I have to block out a lot of stuff and just focus on a few things. That goes against what most financial advisers say to do is to diversify. I don’t diversify, I focus. I started on a plan and I still work on a plan since 74 to now, that’s 35 years. I build companies and I invest my money, so I get richer and richer and richer. Can you learn how to be an entrepreneur at college or do you need to figure it out for yourself? I’ve taught entrepreneurial classes in college and it’s a different breed of cat. The number one skill that made me an entrepreneur I learned in Vietnam where I learned a very valuable lesson in life as a gunship pilot. The lesson is that there’s no second place. Either you go home or they go home, or you both don’t go home. Once I understood it gave me a different kind of drive. There’s no second place and I live my life that way. If you don’t have that and you’re willing to settle for second place, you shouldn’t be an entrepreneur. Combat War zones are very hostile environments and entrepreneurship is a very hostile environment. - Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad USA Today’s #1 Money Book and international runaway bestseller â€" is an investor, entrepreneur and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom.   Rich Dad Poor Dad ranks as the longest-running bestseller on all four of the lists that report to Publisher’s Weekly â€" The New York Times, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today â€" and has held a top spot on the famed New York Times list for over five years.   Translated into 45 languages and available in 90 countries, the Rich Dad series has sold over 25 million copies worldwide. In 2005, Robert was inducted into the Amazon.com Hall of Fame as one of that that bookseller’s Top 25 Authors.   Robert writes a bi-weekly column â€" ‘Why the Rich Are Getting Richer’ â€" for Yahoo! Finance and a monthly column titled ‘Rich Returns’ for Entrepreneur magazine.   His latest book is called Conspiracy of The Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money.

Mastering the LinkedIn Private View - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Mastering the LinkedIn Private View - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Who’s been looking at your LinkedIn Profile? What LinkedIn Profiles have you been looking at? There are three options for LinkedIn profile privacy. This LinkedIn option is part of the Privacy Settings that allows you to determine how much information you share when you are viewing someone elses LinkedIn Profile. I’ll explore all three of them here and show you how easy it is to make a change. One key point is that these settings can be adjusted at any time you like. Here is a quick 2 minute video that walks you through the process. The written options are listed below. Why Three Options? So, you can view a profile with the default recommended settings for your day to day use of LinkedIn. However, if you are doing research … whether it’s part of a job search or part of your  industry research efforts  you can change the way your profile appears to the people on the other side. One of the options is complete private mode. While this might seem a little sneaky there are reasons for this that I will go into below. This is where I want your help  â€" When do you use Private Mode? Share your thoughts in the comments Three Options for LinkedIn Profile Viewing The default setting  â€" which shows up as the “Recommended” option  includes your name, company, industry, location and your profile picture. Semi-Private shows a generic title, industry and general location. Complete Private Mode  â€" Is exactly what it says. Nothing is shown to the user whose LinkedIn profile you visited. Why Hide? I give the LinkedIn team credit for creating this option. There are times where you might be looking for things on LinkedIn that you don’t want the other person to know you are looking. The obvious situation is a job search. However, there are other scenarios where a Private Mode viewing option is also helpful. For example, when you are doing research on the industry whether it’s your current industry, a competitor, or a possible business partner. You might  want to see what they post and how they position themselves. Researching Job Candidates If you are researching a job candidate you might not want to show that the five people in your firm are checking out their profile. Why would anyone ever want to hide? There are valid reasons. The good news is … LinkedIn makes it really easy to  adjust these settings as often as your like. Mastering LinkedIn This post is a companion post to a few others I have written about Mastering LinkedIn. One is Mastering the LinkedIn Connection Request and another is Mastering the LinkedIn Unvite. I encourage you to check out these posts too and the other posts in my series on Mastering LinkedIn that will be posted here to the Personal Branding Blog. Changing your LinkedIn Profile View settings  (video) is simple: Login to LinkedIn Go to top right corner â€" Hover over your profile picture. This is the “Account Settings” and look down the list to click on “Privacy Settings” Click on “Manage” A new page will pop up. Note: It may request that you login again. This is for your privacy. In the middle of the page there is an option labeled as: “Select what others see when youve viewed their profile” Click on this option Another Dialog Box Pops Up. The “What Others See when you’ve viewed their profile” dialog box. There are three options  â€" Recommended, Semi-Private and Private Select the privacy  option you would like to use Click “Save Changes” and you are good to go. The selected setting will stay in place until you change it. Change this setting as needed. Is this a valuable LinkedIn feature? I’m curious to know if most people know about, use or like this option. This is a very informal survey. I’d like you to add a quick comment with your thoughts. I’d also like to hear from the experts at using this option. I’m guessing HR professionals and industry researchers have some great use cases. Or perhaps they just always leave their settings as Complete Private Mode as their permanent setting. Did you know about this option? Do you use this option? How do you use this option? Thanks for reading and thanks for commenting. I always am looking for better ways to use LinkedIn. Even though I’ve been using LinkedIn  for over 10 years there are new features … which means new tips and tricks popping up all the time.

How to Impress Executive Recruiters CareerMetis.com

How to Impress Executive Recruiters â€" CareerMetis.com Us Executive Recruiters can be a tough bunch to impress. We are fortunate to meet some of the smartest, most talented and highest paid individuals. Yet, I often hear about the struggle in trying to strike up a meaningful relationship with an Executive Recruiter.Aside from stating the obvious; such as having a good CV to get you through the door, there are some simple things you can do to improve your chances of getting noticed in an abundant candidate market.1. Convey your worthevalevalFancy degrees and MBAs are great BUT you need to back it up with being able to succinctly promote yourself and make a notable first impression. I may sound like a broken record, but I am really passionate about personal branding.I regularly meet with so many executives who are great at promoting the company they represent, its products/ services, but suck at promoting themselves!A common fear is they will come across as egotistical or arrogant. Many find that once they know the formula to create an aut hentic pitch that is unique to them, they are able to humbly yet confidently highlight their value-add without sounding salesy.2. Find your nicheMost executive recruiters specialise in certain fields or industry sectors. Likewise, so should you! Find your niche and highlight it on your Linkedin profile and CV. Ensure the content is relevant to your forte.3. First impressionsA recent survey showed that 80% of companies are now using Linkedin as a sourcing strategy. Likewise, most recruiters will use Linkedin as their first source of information when reviewing a candidate. Your headline is the first thing people see. It must be professional, relevant and highlight your key skills and expertise.4. Be a thought leaderBe known as an expert in your field. Building a solid reputation takes work. However, you don’t need to spend countless hours writing long posts.Keep it simple with a mix of Linkedin status updates, snappy posts and engage in meaningful discussions within specialist group s. Remember, it’s about quality. Do not becoming that annoying person who constantly posts cheesy motivational quotes!eval5. Reach OutevalThe best way to reach executive recruiters is by phone, or ideally face to face. You cannot underestimate the impact of personalised communication. Whilst recruiters can be hard to catch, be persistent and do not leave a voicemail; keep trying until you catch them.When you are in front of someone, you’re harder to ignore! It will also get their attention, as most others will apply for a job, hit ‘send’ and hope for the best. But again, you must be able to quickly demonstrate the value in them talking to you. Even if there’s no immediate suitable vacancy, you can still make your mark and be remembered.6. Stay front of mindRecruiters meet with lots of people everyday. Whilst they may seem really engaged during your meeting, they can quickly forget you due to the sheer volume of people they see. To do this, keep in touch BUT don’t stalk t hem!Determine their preferred method of contact â€" be it phone, text, email, or inmail. This way, you’re conditioning their expectations to stay in touch.7. Establish exclusivity evalRather than registering with a whole bunch of search firms, do some research and hand pick the ones you think will work best for your niche. Let them know that you are being selective in who you are talking to. This will help their process and save the hassle of having to check that you haven’t already submitted an application for the same position with their competitor.Gone are the days of the scattergun approach. Being selective and putting your energy into creating meaningful, ongoing relationships with a few key players will elicit a greater likelihood of being placed.Recruiters are always looking for new clients and they know that candidates of today will become clients of tomorrow. Make this apparent in your meeting; that if they work hard to place you, there’s a probability you’ll return the favour by using their services, as well as recommending them to others. Emphasize that you’re prepared to honour a long- term relationship.It all starts with a strong presence, strategic approach and good connection base. It’s worth doing the work upfront to get ahead of the competition.

Helpful or Harmful The Real Costs of Going to Work Sick - Pathfinder Careers

Helpful or Harmful The Real Costs of Going to Work Sick - Pathfinder Careers Helpful or Harmful: The Real Costs of Going to Work Sick Most of us have faced the dilemma that morning when we wake up with an annoying scratchy throat and fevered brow…   Ugh! Do I go to work or not? Then the pressure is on. There are deadlines looming. An important meeting that can’t be missed.   An overriding fear of ‘missing something’ or not being there to field that VIP client call.   Some companies don’t even offer sick days, so not being paid could impact a worker’s finances. Or maybe, we are simply afraid that we might lose our job. We KNOW that we aren’t operating at 100%. Or 50%, for that matter. But ‘being there’ seems to trump how cruddy we actually feel. As a result, most of us drag ourselves in… either out of a sense of duty or fear. But what is the real cost of ‘sharing’ our hive of germs with our workmates? From an HR standpoint, it can be extremely costly.   Realistically, everyone has varying levels of immune resistance, and even in a moderately-sized office, you could potentially pass your cold on to several co-workers. We all know this can have a domino effect as this, in turn could result in even more missed days from work… impacting productivity on a greater scale. In fact, according to MoneyMatters101.com, “Overall, ‘presenteeism’ (which describes the situation when sick people go to work) is said to cost U.S. companies nearly $180 billion each year in lost productivity.” That’s a lot of us showing up work sick. CBSNews.com  also had a segment on this issue that reported that “almost half, or 48 percent, of employers report a problem with presenteeism. Thats up from 39 percent last year, and its a situation more organizations are taking seriously.” Employers ARE taking this seriously note. When we are not operating in a normal capacity, the potential for errors and / or omissions goes up exponentially. If our brains are fogged by cold medicine or lack of sleep, we could make critical mistakes that either impact our work or those of others. For that reason, some employers are starting to be more assertive in enforcing their sick policies, with a keen eye to the bottom line. According to the CBSNews.com segment, “Sixty-two percent (of employers) say they send sick employees home; 41 percent educate employees on the importance of staying home when sick; and 36 percent try to discourage employees from coming to work when theyre ill.” So do you or don’t you show up to work with the sniffles and a box of tissues tucked under your arm? You need to weigh the real costs versus your expectations carefully.     Can work go on without you? Probably.   Is there an important meeting that you simply cannot miss? Potentially… but what other options do you have at your disposal?   Many employers and employees are finding that telecommuting has become a reasonable alternative â€" you can check email or call in to a meeting / teleconference, and your germs stay with you at home and you don’t share your abundance with your grateful co-workers. If your office doesn’t have a policy about telecommuting when you are sick, maybe this is a good time to propose one before you are under the weather.     Most people who do stay home usually are checking their email and voicemail anyway, so making it ‘official’ can make the situation a win-win for everyone.   Taking a day or two to recover can help you get well faster, reduce risk to your fellow colleagues, reduce errors made when you aren’t operating at 100%, and cause employers to appreciate the fact that you aren’t contributing to lower productivity levels either through presenteeism or by causing others to miss work.
