The Inflated Dollar

Kivo Daily Staff on August 31, 2022

Inflation is a topic that has no shortage of discussion in the modern world. Consequently, understanding its history and the level of inflation that has actually occurred throughout history is essential. The U.S dollar in particular has been through periods of intense inflation throughout its history.

On the most basic level, the U.S dollar has inflated. The dollar of today is worth just six cents in 1920. The reasons and dips and peaks in that process are much more complex though. Looking back, the Great Depression and WWII saw skyrocketing prices, prices that never been seen before.

After, in the 1940’s, the economy started to stabilize. This did little to stop inflation though as by the 1960’s a dollar could no longer buy a gallon of milk, a big milestone in history. The 1970’s saw the economy attempt to stabilize but by the 1980’s inflation reached its all time high of 14.5%.

After this, while inflation around the dollar somewhat stagnated, the aggressive rise in college tuition and other consumer prices began, a process that has not yet stopped. From there the value of the dollar continued to diminish and diminish until finally COVID hit. This marked one of the strangest economic times in history for the U.S and the world at large.

Looking at 2021, the dollar in particular depreciated even more than other countries. Mexico, Canada, Britain, China, and Australia all retained currency value over America. COVID seemingly hit the U.S economy or at the very least boosted inflation particularly hard.

Looking at 2022 the fate seems to be even more dire. In 2022 so far, inflation has risen at a rate of 9.1%, the highest seen since 1981, the all-time peak. This was not limited to just the dollar either as energy and food prices are also hitting all time highs.

What is most unfortunate is that inflation has no signs of slowing down, in fact the U.S is predicted to see some of the most aggressive rates of both consumer and currency inflation ever. This is only reflected by looking at the market and the things that currently have value.

Gold, for example, is a clear marker of market uncertainty and general economic downturn. And in 2020 the gold investment demand jumped 90% year over year. Gold also saw a return on investment of near 25% in 2020, a rate higher than the stock market itself. Gold is also predicted to continue to skyrocket in prices into 2030, directly reflecting the rates of inflation that are predicted to continue.

This is the past, present, and future of the inflated dollar. Starting with the rocky period of the Great Depression, and ending with the similarly rocky period of the COVID pandemic. The U.S’s greatest strength is the history it holds. Understanding how policy has influenced inflation and inflation has influenced the consumer is something that has only grown in depth and scale with time. The citizens of the U.S can only hope it’s applied.

Inspirational Musical Artist Jay Scott Makes a Comeback with His Debut New Album

Kivo Daily Staff on August 29, 2022

The music industry has become a haven for artists with inspiring stories that have been turned into captivating songs. Today, the music industry has become a place where artists and musicians with the biggest hearts have the best chance of making it big, and Jay Scott— aka Jaynetox— is unquestionably on that list.

Jaynetox was born on November 18, 1998. He started listening to music when he was very young. His uncle Tony, who played the organ in front of him, inspired him because it was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard. At ten years old, the artist wrote his first song, “Reality.” Unfortunately, Jay’s beloved uncle and mentor died in 2010, which changed everything for him. The death of the person he cherished the most has blurred the young musician’s vision. He had lost hope and was on the verge of giving up his dreams at the time. Nonetheless, he persisted, knowing that his uncle would have preferred that he keep pursuing his passion.

Jay soon got back on track and began writing his music. Like most other songwriters, his early work was developed more for the sake of making music and lacked meaning and intention. However, by consistently honing his craft, he committed himself to become a better artist.

Since then, the aspiring musician has made a name for himself despite the obstacles he had to go through, including fake friends, family matters, and so on. Fortunately, he has always had a few close friends he can always rely on, such as Princelightskin, W.B.K, and SilentMontage.

Many years have passed since Jaynetox’s heartbreaking loss, but the budding singer’s journey is far from over. He had also faced other adversities, such as being duped by people who were only interested in his money. Then, when he no longer had anything to offer, the same people turned their backs on him.

Last year, the musician worked on his biggest project, his debut EP Alcatraz, which received over 1,000,000 streams. “Suicide” and “Death Sentence,” the first two singles, are available on online streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. This massive project resulted from his collaboration with people he trusts, including PrinceLightSkin and W.B.K, his close friends and fellow artists.

He is currently working on his debut album, “Where You Can’t Escape,” a continuation of his EP. He has collaborated with artists like Caskey, 12 AM, 11:11, Travis Thompson, and many others.

The young artist has big plans for the future and is confident that he will be able to achieve them all. First and foremost, he wishes to rejoin his friends on tour. Second, he wants to break into the film industry and try his hand at acting.

Jaynetox rose above his difficulties and continued to create music. His music has evolved alongside his personal improvement, which is now more substantial, has more breadth, and reflects his mastery as an individual who has overcome numerous challenges in life.

Aside from dreaming about becoming one of the biggest stars in the music industry, Jay hopes to utilize his martial arts skills by opening his martial arts school.

‘Suzette’s Daddy Issues: A Memoir of Violence and Hope’ Pierces Reader’s Hearts

Kivo Daily Staff on August 20, 2022

Every year, over a million books are written and printed, yet only a small number of them have the power to change a reader’s life. The latest title, “Suzette’s Daddy Issues,” by Suzette Shanle, is one of them.

Suzette’s Daddy Issues: A Memoir of Violence and Hope is the story of a little girl reared by a kind and loving mother and her husband, a convicted felon and a lifetime criminal. Her father is not just a violent man; he may be on the run from the mob. If Suzette’s true father would accept her as his own, she wouldn’t have to defend herself all the time. She would then feel protected, joyful, and cherished. The issue is, who precisely is her biological father? Is he her elder brother’s father? For the time being, the heroine of the novel must live with these unresolved issues.

Suzette is a versatile artist who can speak to a person’s soul via her well-written novel. Her education has come from a lifetime of experience. With her debut book, Suzette’s Daddy Issues, she created a well-written piece that pierced through the hearts of its readers. She wrote what she knew, making her debut novel enjoyable and an homage to her tenacious family as they endured decades of criminality and brutality from her various fathers.

The author and writer’s lifelong blend of early art and writing has ensured her success. Her upbeat attitude pervades her work, first in her paintings and later in her most recent clothes collection on “Le Galeriste.” Suzette’s work in both the visual and literary arts has been pivotal for the creative community, exemplifying ingenuity and authenticity for artists and writers.

The book has picked up raving reviews from readers and critics alike. “Suzette Shanle’s “Suzette’s Daddy Issues” was an emotional rollercoaster for me,” says Goodreads reviewer Mark Timberg. “The author poured her heart out on the pages, sharing her greatest concerns, and I felt as if I knew her. This memoir is recommended for individuals who want to understand what it’s like to grow up in a dysfunctional household, be a tiny girl in many terrible situations, and survive. Thank you for sharing your life, Suzzette.”

Suzette feels that being authentic to herself and not creating novels in a cookie-cutter mass production manner that follows market trends is what distinguishes her work. She discovered she had marketing talents early in her twenties and utilized her art as a tool to create fliers and business cards. She likes interacting with others. Hence, her ability to be personable has proven to be her most valuable quality. Suzette was raised with an entrepreneurial mentality and was inspired by her parents, which provided her with the confidence and abilities she needed to launch her first successful firm in her early twenties. Suzette was committed to developing her brand to proceed at a rapid pace and set her own goals.

Currently, the author is enjoying her retirement after thirty years in the beauty industry with her family. She worked with her husband, a prosperous third-generation farmer, and her son, twenty-seven, who completed his preservice and is now working on the farm. As her restless inquiring spirit grows, she has been traveling with her children since they were small. Her two teen daughters also enjoy the journey.

Influencers and fans, it’s complicated — Understanding fan behavior

Kivo Daily Staff on August 19, 2022

We live in a world where people are always yearning for more and more “Tea,” a gen-z word for gossip. It’s what makes it to the headlines these days, and news outlets feast on the next big celebrity scandal. Even news of a wardrobe malfunction, unfollow on IG, or a tweet that generates views is enough to become the talk of the town. Fans don’t waste time getting ready to watch and hear their “favorite” influencers with snacks. The important part is that only negative or embarrassing incidents receive the greatest spotlight.

In contrast, positive acts such as charity receive little to no attention. As far as the modern world is concerned, people hating you doesn’t mean they will stop watching you. It all comes down to Brock Lesnar’s situation in WWE, where everyone hates Lesnar but still loves to watch him. Similarly, your next TikTok video may confuse the public, but as long as it entices gossip, people won’t stop watching it; they will wait impatiently for your next video. Author Mark Manson puts it beautifully,

“The world is ****** up, and I’m pretty sure it’s the internet’s fault.”

There’s an old saying that there is no such thing as bad press, and this notion is more accurate than ever in today’s day and age. The song “Baby” by Justin Bieber was one of the most hated songs on YouTube, with a dislike tally totaling up to 12.40 million, whereas its viewership grew to 2 billion views. No matter how much people hated the song, they couldn’t stop listening to it. Brittany Spears is known famously for her manic episodes, which were thoroughly documented by renowned press agencies, waiting for her to make her next move. That’s just the reality of the content people are allured to. They may not like the content and disagree with its motivation but will keep their eyes glued to their screens. Tirus Kimble, also known as “Weeb Emperor,” states in his TikTok live, “Weeb Dynasty is like UFOs, people look at them, people get intrigued, people want more, and people get confused, but they never fail to be entertained and wonder what’s next.”

People may judge the couple for how they entertain on OnlyFans and Instagram, but they still attract a lot of attention from their followers for their content. Tirus and his partner, Wallie Sue (Empress Kitten), have been subjected to bans 47 times in the last two years and deserve to be crowned as the undisputed emperors for the most banned couple on TikTok. But astonishingly, they were among the top 0% on OnlyFans. Only proving Tirus’ theory that fans get confused, but they can’t stop watching it. We live in a world that operates on shock factors for entertainment. The more taboo the content is, it is most likely to be chased. Today, we see numerous influencers switching boats from IG to platforms like OnlyFans that spark their curiosity because taboo viewership is becoming stronger every day.

The Weeb Dynasty opposes censorship and regards it as a form of oppression of human expression. Despite their setbacks, the duo has established their very own eCommerce store, diversifying from OnlyFans to their very own business. The couple encourages the message to live your life on your terms, which is an inspiration to many.

Why Communication Skills have Taken on Added Importance for Business Leaders

Kivo Daily Staff on August 17, 2022

Written by: Melissa Powell

Probably the biggest change to the workplace set in motion by the pandemic is the acceptance of remote and hybrid work. While teleconferencing and working from home existed before COVID-19, hybrid work has become the norm. In fact, a 2021 report from Accenture showed that 83 percent of more than 9,000 workers surveyed said they preferred a hybrid model: one in which they can work remotely 25 percent of the time. Teams that used to meet regularly in person now rely on Zoom, Skype, Slack, and other platforms to communicate.

So, how do business leaders maintain team camaraderie and engage employees when they are no longer brainstorming and problem-solving in the same room?

In a January 2022 Forbes post, Denise Vu Broady, chief marketing officer for the low-code provider Appian, outlined several communications strategies that, even under the current working conditions, will keep employees motivated and enthusiastic about their organization, and able to see a future at the company.

Broady maintains that because employees are not sharing the same physical space with their colleagues—thereby missing those “water cooler moments”—they are so inundated by emails and instant messages that they feel overwhelmed. But when leaders schedule regular 15-minute one-on-one meetings with workers, they can gain a better understanding of the projects their team is working on. This also provides time to discuss any underlying concerns employees might not feel comfortable sharing with their co-workers. Managers can also foster an ongoing dialogue with employees, building a culture where open communication is not simply accepted, but explicitly encouraged.

One characteristic that distinguishes great leaders from poor leaders is the ability to communicate with transparency and compassion, which allows them to lead from the top down and share knowledge and experience. According to Harvard Business Review, the three top traits of effective leaders are communication skills, high ethics, and moral standards.

A post on Dase.com, a company that designs learning solutions for businesses, outlines some best practices for leadership communication:

Leaders who demonstrate transparency have clear expectations of their employees and a willingness to be open and honest with their teams, while also demonstrating humility and vulnerability.
Great leaders are confident yet not arrogant. This builds trust within the team and discourages gossip and resentment among employees.
Active listening and encouraging workers to speak up—including asking questions— helps employees feel valued and heard.
Don’t just lead, coach. Coaching is a vital part of supporting a team because it empowers employees and is critical to building and maintaining a motivated team.
The best leaders communicate goals and responsibilities clearly, providing explicit direction to their staff. By clearly communicating the goals and vision of the organization, successful managers help motivate teams to achieve their best.
In addition to showing respect for all employees, leaders can build empathy within the organization by using a storytelling approach; using real-life examples to help educate staff and win their loyalty.

Leaders who are good communicators easily connect with and motivate their teams, while those with poor communication skills can have a negative impact on the business’s bottom line, costing it millions of dollars every year.

Communications firm Grammarly has posted communication tips, specifically geared toward a hybrid workplace. While meeting in person to collaborate on a new product introduction might be preferable, some meetings are just as effective remotely. Shorter virtual meetings when just small bites of information are communicated or one-on-one meetings between staff and managers are best suited to a virtual format.

Since many meetings aren’t held in the same space, it’s critical to make sure that meeting materials are accessible in hybrid situations. For example, if there is a PowerPoint presentation that is printed for in-person meeting attendees, a digital deck can help remote workers follow along. If a whiteboard is being used during a meeting, the employee who’s using it should position their camera so that employees at home can see the entire board.

Because a hybrid workforce often allows for both flexible schedules and for teams to work across time zones, leaders should plan ahead by sharing an agenda and following up with recaps or recordings so all involved are on the same page. There are a variety of communications available to remote workers; choosing the right one will result in the best outcome. A quick check-in with a coworker is well suited to Slack, Facebook Messenger, or another instant-messaging platform. And while email is an essential part of communication for hybrid teams, using Zoom or Skype or another interactive platform allows teams access to visual and audio cues like facial expressions, body gestures, and intonation.

In addition to clear communication between management and work teams, leaders must also make an effort to better communicate with their customers. In a post for Forbes, Alexa Dagostino, owner of Thynktank Coaching, called effective communication the “superglue” that binds relationships, both professional and personal ones. As the global market has undeniably changed during the pandemic, it is even more critical for companies to better communicate their brands worldwide in an effort to build trust and lasting relationships between an organization and its clients.

Hoffman Academy Redefines Perspectives on Learning the Piano

Kivo Daily Staff on August 17, 2022

At some point in their lives, many people entertain the idea of learning how to play the piano either as a hobby, a form of artistic expression, or simply as a new skill they can carry with them long-term. Unfortunately, many people don’t have the time or the financial resources to take formal, traditional piano lessons. A few people are able to teach themselves to play the piano, but for most this method leads to frustration as it is very hard to progress without having someone to help you along the way. For those who want to learn piano on their own schedule and within a reasonable budget, Hoffman Academy provides the perfect balance of guidance, encouragement, and independent learning. Plus, learning with Hoffman Academy is a lot of fun!

Hoffman Academy has made music education accessible for everyone by creating fun piano lessons that are available online for a very reasonable price. Mr. Hoffman’s commitment to teaching and passion for music inspired him to find revolutionary ways to keep young learners’ interest in music alive while being mindful of their families’ budgets.

Mr. Hoffman has been a dedicated piano teacher for many years. Throughout the course of his teaching career, he tried various existing piano methods in hopes of finding one that would keep the learning process engaging for his students. None of those methods provided the complete musical training he hoped to provide. Some methods were strictly focused on mastering the skill of note reading, while other approaches focused on learning by ear. Not one method was complete and perfect, prompting him to come up with his own method, which eventually became known as the Hoffman Method.

The method begins by having students experience music. The idea behind this is to make music familiar to them in the same way that everyone learns to communicate using their native language – through listening and imitating sounds. The Hoffman Method teaches students to first grasp the sounds before they learn about symbols, the same way a child learns to speak before they learn to read. Interestingly, the method allows students to make music immediately in a fun and encouraging environment.

As students progress, the Hoffman Method will teach them sight reading, rhythm, improvisation, transposition, solfege, music theory, ear training, technique, and composition. Many of these skills are introduced earlier in the Hoffman Method than they are in other music teaching methods, allowing students ample time to master them and grow their complete set of music skills together.

The Hoffman Method exemplifies everything that makes Mr. Hoffman an excellent and effective piano teacher. Apart from having taught music for many decades, Mr. Hoffman is also an expert educator with advanced degrees in music and childhood education. He’s a highly published composer, a favorite presenter at many piano teacher workshops and national conferences, and a judge at music competitions and festivals.

Mr. Hoffman’s revolutionary approach activates children’s natural curiosity and playfulness. His positive, inviting style has completely changed the attitude of his students toward piano lessons. Mr. Hoffman’s students are eager to learn and eager to practice every day.

At present, the Hoffman Academy has more than 256,000 students from 115 countries all over the world. In addition, the academy’s YouTube views have reached a phenomenal 31 million views, a sure indicator that a massive number of learners appreciate and believe in the effectiveness of the Hoffman Method.

By helping his students become well-rounded musicians, Mr. Hoffman is keeping the spirit of music alive in many homes across the globe and inspiring young musicians to dream big about their future.

An Interview with Tiffany Smith of LAV Label About the Complexities of the Retail Industry

Kivo Daily Staff on August 17, 2022

Tiffany Smith was born and raised in Chicago. Later in life, she relocated to Atlanta for 10 years where she was the director of a children’s daycare. Tiffany spent much of her time helping the daycare business scale up and open two new locations. Although she would eventually return to Chicago, she found her time in the childcare industry rewarding, as it allowed her to foster positive development in numerous children and help families communicate better with one another. Tiffany prides herself on being amicable, personable, and the type of person that others seek out for assistance.

Currently, Tiffany Smith is the owner of LAV Label, an online retail store where members earn money by referring others to shop there. LAV Label was created when Tiffany, an avid coupon enthusiast, decided to create an online system for easily locating specific coupons. From these humble beginnings, LAV Label has evolved into an e-commerce success story; a place where its numerous members can not only find vast discounts on their favorite consumer products, but also gain the experience to become prosperous entrepreneurs by setting up online storefronts.

Why did you decide to go into online retail?

I wanted to help make the discounts and sales available online more accessible to a larger crowd of people, many of whom operate on tight budgets. Originally, I was sharing coupons with a small group of friends who were already in my social circle, but taking my operation online helped expand it and make it more accessible to people all over the country.

What trends in your industry excite you?

In retail and affiliate marketing, I’m excited to be able to help people earn money by referring others to our product. Giving people a place to both save and earn money is really important, especially right now because the price of everything is so high. Those few extra dollars mean a lot for many families.

What would you tell others looking to get into your industry?

I would tell anyone interested in entering the retail industry that you’ll want to have a solid business plan in place and you’ll definitely want to assemble a dependable and talented team. Something else to keep in mind is that it’s really difficult to source products when you’re starting out. There’s a lot that people don’t understand about that aspect of retail going into it, and it’s just one of those things you have to experience first-hand. I would also encourage business owners to go into retail energetically and with an open mind. It is a really beautiful thing to be able to solve a need that people have.

What is one thing you would change in your industry today if you could?

I would simplify the sourcing process because it’s a lot of work to find new products to sell right now. It’s still a very analog process. You attend trade shows and speak with the manufacturers directly, who then manually take your order. Sometimes you have to wait weeks or months for delivery of the order. Sometimes they sell out of things, but they’re not able to let you know about it up front.

Who has been a role model to you and why?

My sister has been a fantastic role model. She’s the one who gave me the idea to start my own company, and she’s been very instrumental in helping me set things up because of her background in business and technology.

How do you maintain a work life balance?

It’s very difficult. I’ve been a business owner for six years, and I still don’t think I’ve found a proper balance. I’m only now starting to not work as much during the evenings. In the past, I’ve worked 16-hour days five days a week and then 12-hour workdays on the weekend. I’ve been doing that for a long time, but now I want to focus more on taking care of myself.

Explain the proudest day of your professional life.

Earlier this year, I found out that we paid millions of dollars in commission to our affiliates last year. It made me feel really happy to have such an impact on so many people’s lives and help so many people accomplish their goals and dreams.

What has been the hardest obstacle you’ve overcome?

Having to restructure the business. Affiliate marketing and direct selling is a tricky business and being able to overcome a lot of the chaos that goes along with it was a big accomplishment.

What is one piece of advice that you have never forgotten?

“Things done in haste make waste.” I got that saying from my grandmother years ago, and it’s really stuck with me because it taught me to stop rushing. It taught me to stop wanting to hurry and get something done just to cross it off a to-do list. It’s not about crossing something off, it’s about how effectively the task was executed. I had to start asking myself questions like “How productive are you being while you’re accomplishing the task?” and “Is this done to the best of your ability?” Previously, I would find myself rushing through things and it would come back to haunt me later on. Now, I live by my grandmother’s advice because I was wasting money and time by hurrying through things. I will say that I had to properly train my mind to not feel like I had to rush through stuff just to cross it off a list.

What is one piece of advice you would like to leave our readers with?

I would tell everyone to start thinking of backup plans in life for your income and finances. There are a lot of uncertainties in the world right now. Start thinking about creating different revenue streams and tucking away a nest egg to protect yourself and your family from any kind of financial crisis that might happen.

Why do you Need to Hire a Professional Moving Company?

Kivo Daily Staff on August 17, 2022

If you hire a specialized mover to assist you with your transfer, you might have a less difficult and unpleasant moving experience. If you’re considering using a moving company, here are a few grounds for hiring professionals cross country movers to help with your next move.

Consider that you want to relocate across the city, the state, or the country. Although there may be many details to figure out, moving your belongings will be important. Even though some people choose to do this on their own, we are here to give you every justification for hiring professional movers in its place.

Peace of mind:

Sometimes, moving can be a difficult and upsetting experience. Professional movers know the best travel routes and how to treat your belongings securely. Most moving companies place a cap on their liability for loss and damage. However, if you have liability insurance, your products will be fixed or replaced on the uncommon occasion that something goes wrong. Having confidence that your possessions are safe on moving day will help.

Reliability:

Often, hiring a moving company is the most dependable option rather than attempting to move with the help of friends and family. Professional movers receive in-depth training in the best moving techniques to safeguard your belongings and avoid avoidable risks to their bodies.

Accountability:

A moving business will be held accountable for your relocation and put forth all effort to ensure that all of your belongings arrive at your doorstep without incident. Moving without the help of seasoned movers puts the responsibility of making sure all your belongings arrive safely on your shoulders, which may lead to higher costs and stress throughout your move.

Fast:

A moving company can let you know when your belongings will be delivered to your new home. Your moving process will go more quickly and smoothly if you hire a good mover. Many companies take pride in offering prompt, effective service. They can also carry your couch up the staircase more quickly than you can!

Convenient:

It will be simpler for a professional moving company to convey all of your belongings to the truck and, later, into your new home. This includes heavy objects like furniture or bulky boxes.

Avoid Excessive Lifting:

Heavy lifting can lead to back discomfort and other health issues if you aren’t properly trained. You can avoid undertaking any heavy lifting while moving by hiring the service of a reliable moving company.

Specialized Inventory Technique:

Even though it can be hard to list everything in your home, a reliable moving company can handle it for you. This will ensure that everything gets to its new location safely without spending hours tracking down every box or object in your home.

Safety:

Using a moving company makes the moving procedure substantially safer. Professionals with experience can load and unload stuff that you might not be familiar with carrying, carefully wrap a mattress, and pack and unpack boxes. They use authentic material to reduce or completely avoid damage to your possessions during the transfer. An experienced mover can alleviate your concerns and provide a safe, efficient, and swift-moving experience.

No hassle:

If you’ve considered asking friends or family to help you move, it’s important to understand the risks and challenges involved. With the help of a few friends, packing your complete house will be more challenging than if you hired professional movers to pack your boxes and move them safely to your new home.

Your Memory Might Not Be As Trustworthy As You Think

Kivo Daily Staff on August 16, 2022

Did you know that up to 1 in 2 people may not be able to tell false memories from real ones? Many adults remember the popular peanut butter brand as ‘Jiffy’ instead of Jif even though the brand has always gone by the same name. Many people remember the Monopoly Man being drawn with a monocle even though he has never had one. And while almost anyone will quote the Star Wars phrase “Luke, I am your father.” the true line was “No, I am your father.”.

All of these instances of multiple people misremembering events are known as the Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect was coined by paranormal expert Fiona Broome in 2009 in reference to the many people who believed that Nelson Mandela passed away in 1980. This wasn’t just a case of people being mixed up about the date of a death, many people still report seeing coverage of his death on the news or talking about it in school even though Nelson Mandela only passed away in 2013. When the Mandela Effect was first discovered, Broome made a website to discuss it in greater detail, and today it is recognized as an umbrella term to describe memory related phenomenon.

The Mandela Effect today is known as a phenomena where a large group of people misremember a specific detail or event. These events can occur due to a number of reasons, but one of the most widely accepted explanations of this phenomena is asch conformity. This is when someone conforms to a certain group in order to align with a group. If a number of people all hold a similar belief, it is more likely that someone with a different belief will go along with the more popular opinion in order to fit in. If a person changes their beliefs over a long period of time it can lead to source-memory errors–when someone forgets the true source of a memory– or even entirely false memories.

If enough people believe a fact, it can be more difficult to determine the true origin. With the rise of the internet and technology, this is becoming even more difficult. The internet allows for an easier and faster way to obtain information as well as voice your own opinion. When people read stories on the internet, they sometimes do not look for additional sources, and this has the possibility of leading to more instances of the Mandela Effect.

It can be disarming to know that something you truly remember actually didn’t happen. Not to worry though, the Mandela Effect is very common and can happen to anyone. To avoid instances of the Mandela Effect in the future it is important to fact-check information you find on the internet to make sure it is correct. Make sure to analyze all information critically, as it can be easy to accept things without questioning them or to make theories without hard evidence. These steps can help to make sure your memories are your own memories and not information that is the result of the Mandela Effect.

Premier Virtual and the Top Technologies Used at Recruitment Fairs

Kivo Daily Staff on August 11, 2022

Whether they are virtual, in-person, or hybrid events, recruitment fairs remain important opportunities to connect with top candidates and begin the hiring process. At in-person job fairs, the jobs and candidates were lower level positions. Virtual events though open up to a wider pool of companies and candidates. With many people in the workforce looking to change careers (even industries), as well as employees returning to work after being laid off during the pandemic, recruiting is more important than ever before.

However, these events often present unique challenges to businesses and recruiters. How can they ensure they are capturing the attention of the best prospective candidates – and how can they streamline the process when meeting hundreds of people at a single event?

With new technology, companies can make the recruiting process much easier, generating interest in their business and reaching their ideal candidates faster. For organizations that are planning recruitment fairs in the next year, these pieces of technology are essential.

QR Codes

As restrictions have eased and in-person events have returned, there is a renewed sense of excitement for in-person and hybrid job fairs. Having the ability to speak directly with interested candidates, in-person and in real-time, is a significant advantage for the hiring company. But once you set up your booth at the recruitment fair, one of the key challenges is getting noticed.

This is where QR codes can be most effective. Displaying a QR code prominently near your booth is an attractive way to gain attention in a crowded event. By scanning the QR code with their smartphone, interested job seekers can view the company’s information, discover new job opportunities, and even apply directly from their phones. Once they have scanned the QR code, job seekers will be accessible by the recruiter or company, immediately opening the door to communication and facilitating a first meeting. This saves time at an in-person event.

Live Chat

Whether they are attending a virtual job fair or an in-person hiring event, job seekers increasingly rely on mobile technology – especially when it comes to the initial contact. Companies that leverage this preference have a better opportunity to connect with a wide range of candidates, increasing the likelihood of finding the right match.

At Premier Virtual, their Virtual Recruitment Suite offers live chat functionality, enabling companies and job seekers to communicate in real time using live text and video chat. Here, candidates can ask questions about open positions and learn more about the company vision – while the hiring manager can gauge interest, even inviting the candidate to deliver a video resume or on-the-spot interview.

Using live chat/video and mobile functions is a great way for companies to speed up the hiring process while giving job seekers the chance to connect in their preferred method.
