Now users are able to pause and resume the voice messages they receive. Also, people will be given the opportunity to listen to the voice messages before sending them to their receivers.

The option is compatible with WhatsApp Desktop beta.

However, if you have updated your application to the latest version but you still don’t have the new feature, it might be because it is available for certain beta users and it may take a while before it will be enabled to your device.

Also, the feature is already available for iOS users and at that moment the availability for Android users is on its way and we are waiting for it.

“Tesla merch buyable with Dogecoin.”

As a result, Dogecoin raced up to $0.20.

Tesla CEO now supports Dogecoin cryptocurrency, after vouching for Bitcoin. He even calls him “Dogefather”.

Earlier Musk confirmed that the company is “most likely” going to resume taking Bitcoin payment after some due diligence on the improvements in the energy mix used to mine the cryptocurrency.  Musk added:

“I wanted a little bit more due diligence to confirm that the percentage of renewable energy usage is most likely at or above 50 per cent, and that there is a trend toward increasing that number, and if so Tesla would resume accepting bitcoin.”

In addition, the CEO confirmed that he has a significant personal investment into bitcoin on top of Tesla’s investment and he has smaller Ethereum and Dogecoin holdings.

Launched in June 2017, the Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D Scholars Award aspires to fuel development of female STEM2D leaders, and inspire career paths in STEM2D, by supporting the research of the awarded women in their respective STEM2D fields. Cat Oyler, Vice President, Clinical Transformation, Immunology and Integration Leader, Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and WiSTEM2D University Sponsor, commented:

“COVID-19 has shown us that investments in research are critical to advance health for humanity and, as we begin to emerge from the pandemic, there is a great need for continued progress and innovation aimed at a healthier, safer and more equitable world. Research shows that the pandemic disproportionally affected women in WiSTEM2D, with 70% unable to obtain funding, making this award more crucial than ever.”

An independent External Advisory Board will select the 2022 winners, each of whom will represent one of the STEM2D disciplines. Last year, more than 650 highly qualified applicants from across the world applied for the award.

In order to apply for the 2022 WiSTEM2D Scholars Award, the applicant must:

• Submit a university or school department head letter of recommendation (Each University/Institution can support one applicant per STEM2D discipline; 6 applicants in total).
• Write 1,000 words detailing the proposed area of research. One additional page can be added for images, or references.
• Submit her resume (three pages, font size 11), including a list of publications, presentations, abstracts, current financial support already obtained, other folio work and two references.
• Submit a brief outline of the budget for proposed research.

Having strong developers is going to guarantee a high-quality and timely completion of a project. Every team member will need to take it upon themselves to pull the weight of their work and understand their own impact and significance. Personal qualities also play a role in who to hire, and it’s important that a person will be able to effectively communicate with colleagues and clients. There have been many cases where a technically skilled programmer can not get along with the rest of the team, and he has to be let go.

Therefore, a comprehensive selection process is carried out in stages. These stages help the recruiter and the client to accurately identify a specialist who has the suitable professional and personal qualities.

Here are some useful tips for hiring a software engineer:

Selecting the best resumes

This is going to save you time and weed out the people who don’t have the appropriate knowledge, experience and personal qualities. Accordingly, after familiarising yourself with the resumes, about 50% of the applicants can be screened out. Since the hiring process is open to the client, they can personally take part in choosing the resumes of the specialists who will be contacted for the next stages.

Interviews with your participation

This is a key stage in hiring specialists, and it is important to understand how to interview developers in such a way that you can be sure if you have found someone who meets your expectations or not. Consider in more detail what to focus on during an interview with a software engineer.

Find out how passionate your applicant really is about programming

Ask the candidate what they find interesting and pay attention to their intonation and emotion when talking about their work and previous achievements. Experience shows that this is going to be a good indicator of their professionalism. It is unlikely that you will find a developer who talks enthusiastically about his work, but writes bad code.

Additionally, you can look at the candidate’s social network accounts and their pages in professional communities. This will help you understand their degree of involvement in IT.

Check their code skills

This is one of the key aspects of an interview with a developer. This is going to help you determine how well the applicant can get to the core of a problem, which problem solving approaches they use, how they interact with others, and whether they can work quickly and to a high standard.

Only a good programmer will recognise a good programmer

Software development is a job that requires specialist knowledge and skills, and cannot be carried out by just anyone. Therefore, it is a very good idea to have a tech-savvy person to help you conduct the interview. If that person is you, then even better! Hiring an outstaff developer will be even simpler.

Ask questions that are of maximum relevance to the work

Or to the skills that you are trying to evaluate. That way, you will understand faster whether or not the candidate is suitable for your vacancy.

The same questions for every candidate

The whole point of the interviews is to compare the applicants according to identical parameters. The goal is to find the person who will be most capable of working on the project in a high quality manner. Therefore, asking them different questions is illogical.

Don’t forget about personal qualities

Even a brilliant programmer will not be of much benefit to a project if they cannot get along with people and work in a team. Therefore, ask them about their previous work place, their impressions of it, how they interacted with their colleagues, whether or not they participated in corporate events. You can always teach somebody more about programming, but you can’t change a person’s personal qualities.

Use the experience of other companies

Take an interest in how other companies conduct interviews, find out what methods they use for discovering worthy candidates and adopt similar strategies.

Make decisions based on their top skill

There’s no point in trying to deduce the average level of a candidate’s knowledge or to analyze the minimum outcome. You should choose a developer on account of the skill that they have demonstrated the most during the interview. You can help them to tighten their other skills during the work process.

Of course, it’s very difficult to identify all the qualities of a programmer in just an hour and a half. And interviewing is not an easy process. To simplify it, we have a surprise for you – a list of bonus questions for an interview with a PHP developer. These questions will help you to understand whether or not a candidate is suitable for the position.
