7. TEN COMMON JOB INTERVIEWS

   1. Could you tell me about yourself and describe your background in brief?

   Interviewers like to hear stories about candidates. Make sure your story has a great beginning, a riveting middle, and an end that makes the interviewer root for you to win the job.

   Talk about a relevant incident that made you keen on the profession you are pursuing and follow up by discussing your education. In the story, weave together how your academic training and your passion for the subject or industry the company specializes in, combined with your work experience, make you a great fit for the job. If you’ve managed a complex project or worked on an exciting, offbeat design, mention it.

   Example: “I come from a small town, where opportunities were limited. Since good schools were a rarity, I started using online learning to stay up to date with the best. That’s where I learned to code and then I went on to get my certification as a computer programmer. After I got my first job as a front-end coder, I continued to invest time in mastering both front- and back-end languages, tools, and frameworks.”

8. LESSONS MARKETERS CAN TAKE FROM STUDYING ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST ICONIC BRANDS

   There’s no denying that Nike is one of the most—if not the most—renowned brands of all time.

   For years, other brands have tried to replicate their magic formula with varying levels of success. What’s certain is that marketers can learn a lot from studying Nike’s approach and figuring out what’s made it so remarkable.

   Nike’s success spans fifty years —from their origin in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports to the meteoric rise of the Nike Cortez — and we can’t leave out the eternally coveted Air Jordan sub-brand. Their products are as at home in streetwear as they are on the field and are proudly worn everywhere: from peewee sports programs to the most elite Olympians. The result is a company worth 50 billion dollars — with no signs of slowing down.

   Nike’s marketing team are master storytellers and have produced fifty years of ads that have and continue to provoke emotion, inspire, and motivate millions of people across the globe. They are crystal clear on their message, understand their brand, and tell their story in an undeniably compelling way. 

   But how did they do it? 

   Let’s take a look at some of Nike’s most successful campaigns to understand what they did and how you can apply it to your marketing campaigns and initiatives.

9. TIPS

   According to Adam Chaloeicheep and his Together Agency cofounder Marisol, there are four brand personas—which stage are you at in your business?

   • Blank Canvas—You have a business idea and nothing else. A branding exercise is helpful at this stage because you’re getting down, on paper, the core of what this business is and how it’s showing up in the world. It’s a really nice opportunity to align from the very beginning in a brand-forward way, from the name, to the strategy, to the identity.

   • Jeckyll/Hyde—Your brand has only gotten you so far, and now it’s holding you back. You’ve got some traction, got something really special, but you are losing out on bigger opportunities and need that rebrand to launch your business to the next phase.

   • Frankenstein—Piecemeal elements from different contractors, but no cohesive strategy. You have a brand that is cobbled together, and no one on the team is feeling inspired by it. It’s confusing, not inspiring and everyone hates working with it because there’s no clear way in how to use it.

   • Tune-up—The foundational strategy is strong, now there is an opportunity to see what is out of date, what elements can be refreshed or tightened up.

10. META INTRODUCES ‘AudioBox’: A NEW AI VOICE GENERATION TOOL

    Meta has launched 'Audiobox', a generative AI project that can mimic a person's voice from a short audio clip. This tool allows users to make custom audio samples with their voice or text.

    Features of Audiobox:

    

    • 'Audiobox' uses voice inputs and text to create custom audio.

    • It includes voice descriptions, sound effects, and audio editing.

    • The tool has two voices, "Alice" and "Emily", for text-to-audio conversion.

    • Users can add unique sounds to their audio using text prompts.

    Voice Generation: Exciting but Risky:

    • The tool's ability to replicate voices accurately is both fascinating and concerning.

    • Meta has strict rules for using Audiobox to prevent misuse.

    • The tool's release has raised questions about its use in sensitive situations, like elections.

    Meta's Role in AI Development:

    • 'Audiobox' is a part of Meta's larger AI toolset.

    • Meta aims to integrate security into these tools, but their widespread availability raises concerns.

    • With Audiobox, Meta is making significant strides in AI, particularly in voice replication, highlighting the need for ethical and security measures in AI technology.

    Meta's 'Audiobox' represents a significant leap in AI voice generation technology, blending innovation with potential risks. Its ability to create highly accurate voice replicas from simple prompts is a testament to the advancements in AI. However, it also brings to light the ethical and security considerations that must be addressed in the development and use of such powerful tools. As Meta continues to push the boundaries of AI, the balance between technological progress and responsible usage remains a crucial aspect to consider.
