Spotify is looking for employees that are passionate and hardworking and it wants employees to bring a new, fresh way of thinking to the company - so let the company know about your impactful and innovative ideas. He encourages applicants to include a summary of their professional career at the beginning of their resume. Some applicants have found a more informal approach works just as well, with reports of some hopefuls tweeting their cover letter or resumes and scoring interviews.Įither way, Singel says no matter how it gets to the right place, you’ll need a standout resume that highlights all your best assets as a potential employee. Spotify attracts around 350,000 resumes a year, according to the HR blog, but submitting through traditional channels isn’t the only way to score a spot at the company. You should be self-driven, ready to take control of your own development and reach your full potential.” “Growth is our mantra, both for Spotify and for our people. Spotify says on its hiring blog that it expects applicants to care, “about your work, about Spotify, about the success of the entire band,” and it expects those on its team to grow. When you can, show examples of those traits in previous work, hobbies and definitely in music appreciation. Those wanting to get noticed by Spotify need to show their character aligns with the company’s core values to become part of what the company calls its ‘band.’ It is critical resumes and cover letters show that you are innovative and move fast and take big risks are sincere and don’t waste time on internal politics are passionate and revel in what the company does are collaborative and are playful, with the company saying staff don’t take themselves too seriously. It states its mission is to “unlock the potential of human creativity by giving a million creators the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by it.” Since its humble beginnings, the company has become one of the largest music streaming services in the world, up against the likes of Apple. Elk told The Telegraph he realized it was impossible to legislate away from piracy, so “the only way to solve the problem was to create a service that was better than piracy and at the same time compensates the music industry." ![]() The company was founded in Sweden in 2006 by Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon to combat piracy in the music industry.

Public tech companies and early-stage startups have gone through layoffs as well, but not nearly as frequently as late-stage startups (you can read more about the breakdown here). For tech companies based in the United States that have initiated layoffs, more than half of the companies in our database had raised a Series C round or beyond. And layoffs appear to be affecting late-stage private tech companies the most, according to a Crunchbase News analysis of aggregated layoff data. Tech companies have been hit the hardest amid volatility in the public markets. For some reported layoffs it’s unclear how many employees were let go, and layoffs at some companies go unreported. U.S.-based tech companies, both public and private, have laid off more than 21,000 employees as of this week. Not aloneĪlong with fewer new hires, companies such as Coinbase have rescinded job offers, and nearly 100 U.S.-based tech companies have laid off staff, according to a Crunchbase News tally. Other companies such as Uber, Microsoft and Instacart have all said they will slow down hiring in light of the macroeconomic conditions (the S&P 500 closed in bear market territory this week). Spotify is the latest company to scale back hiring amid turmoil in the public markets and a possible recession. ![]()

![]() ![]() With the glass cockpit 737 Classics, the modified 737-700s, and the ordered 737-800s, pilots will be on the same page as far as cockpit familiarity is concerned. To enable RNP on the old 737 “Classics”, in late 2008, Southwest Airlines awarded a $40M to General Electric to retrofit its entire fleet of 737-300s with twin 15.4-inch SDS-6000 glass displays. That change alone immediately netted us millions of dollars per month in fuel savings.” The airline embarked on training its near-6000 pilots on autothrottles, automation, vertical navigation, basic GPS approaches, and finally RNP. Quoting Chuck Magill, Vice President Flight Operations at Southwest, ” I remember hearing that Southwest Airlines would never use the autothrottle system. And its only automation that guarantees desired economy. This move was necessary, as Southwest wanted to transition to Required Navigation Performance (RNP). This was a move away from the airlines’ too old “round dial” cockpit philosophy, to modern glass cockpits with full access to available automation. Southwest got sensible in 2006 as far as automation is concerned, and started what it called the “The Automation Transformation”. GE's "Glass" solution for the "Analog" 737-300 of SW Unless Southwest decides otherwise, some of the newer 737-300s may still be around, and would Southwest want the 737MAX to be so identical to the -300s that the same crew members can switch seamlessly between all three generations of the 737? Southwest expects to take delivery in 2017, which could be 4-5 years from today. Today, with 12 days left for the Christmas of 2011, the bells started ringing with Southwest being announced as the launch customer for the 737MAX. So powerful was the influence of Southwest on Boeing. The LCD screens draw analogue instruments like on the 737 Classics. The 737NG, which first flew three years after the Boeing 777, still had the cluttered, and aesthetically unappealing overhead and throttle quadrant. And so, the autothrottles and associated primary functions, and the VNAV remained out of bounds for the flight deck crew. Yet, Southwest needed the commonality, now between the old 737 Originals, the mid aged 737 Classics ,and the brand new “Next Generation” airplanes. For an aircraft that first flew in 1997, the 737NG’s cockpit hadn’t changed much, save the larger LCD screens that replaced all analogue instrumentation. The efficiency surely did matter, but the flight deck advancements meant little to Southwest. Initially, Southwest was then interested in only one type: the Boeing 737-700, as an efficient and advanced replacement for the 737-300s. The story hardly changed when the Boeing 737 “Next Generation” was launched. And the overhead remained just as cluttered.Ģ 8" displays drawing analog instruments on a 737 NG Thrust and speed could not be automatically maintained as well. Auto throttle was disabled, and the good then new and promising FMS that was in the cockpit could not support automated vertical navigation thanks to an “inoperative” VNAV button on the glare shield mode control panel. Infact, Southwest had gone a bit too far in ensuring the commonality between the 737 Originals (-200) and the Classics (-300,-500) that it operated. The first 737 with electronic displays (EFIS) was MSN 23477, which first flew in 1986 (two years later), and served as VH-TAF with Australian Airlines. And yet, none of these betterments were passed on to the 737s. The overhead and pedestal of the 757 and 767 are aesthetically better, support automatic electric bus transfers, elevator trim without the noisy spinning trim wheel: just to name a few. Southwest wanted the 737-300 NON-EFIS version to satisfy the commonality with the 64 737-200s that it had operated.

The North American Council for Freight Efficiency is running a program this year looking at the real-world operations of 13 electric trucks. Scooter company Spin announced this week that it's electrifying the vans that pick up and charge its scooter networks.Įlectric big rigs: While battery-powered electric semi trucks are still in the early stages of development, they're making major strides and garnering increased attention. This class of vehicles also can be tweaked for midsize and small-business owners to move goods around town, whether that's a flower shop or a bakery. Across the globe, this type of vehicle can save companies significant money on operating costs, including diesel fuel costs, maintenance costs and the costs of replacing brakes. The company just delivered one of its e-tractors to musician Jack Johnson to be used on a farm on the north shore of Oahu.Įlectric delivery and cargo vans: The electrification of last-mile delivery vans is tipping this year as big consumer-facing logistics brands such as UPS, Amazon, FedEx and DHL look to clean up their operations. A startup called Solectrac is making what it calls the first commercially available electric tractor, which can run (quietly and cleanly) for three to six hours on a single charge and can be charged in under four hours. Here are five battery-powered commercial vehicles I'm excited about.Įlectric tractors: Yep, those diesel-powered tractors plowing farms across America could be powered by batteries one day. (If you want to learn more about the electrification of transportation, make sure to register for VERGE Electrify, an online event May 25 and 26 focused on the electrification of everything). But electrifying the long tail of commercial transportation is just as awesome. The technology - at its cheapest and most powerful state in history - can offer various configurations, whether that's moving a huge semi-truck or propelling a compact cargo bike. There are also more incentives for fleet managers to adopt these battery-powered vehicles, because in a growing amount of cases, electric vehicles can save companies money over using diesel power.īattery-powered commercial vehicles also highlight the power of the lithium-ion battery in a unique way. Vehicles such as the big rigs that carry goods across state lines, vans that drop off packages at your front door, garbage trucks that pick up our waste or the forklifts that move pallets across the floor in warehouses.Įlectrifying these commercial vehicles will be potentially even more important than passenger vehicles for reducing carbon emissions and for cleaning up local air pollution. And all those new models coming out - from Ford's Mach-e to Volkswagen's ID.4 - are super exciting.īut of equal importance is all those other vehicles big and small that aren't carrying passengers on commutes or to the local Starbucks, but that are toiling behind the scenes.

Twice now, I’ve watched people try to explain this arc to someone who barely watches anime, and both times, I wanted to evaporate on the spot out of embarrassment for how completely unhinged the story sounded. And it’s exactly as batshit as promised - perhaps even more, if that’s possible. It makes up almost half the series, clocking in at 61 episodes. Others despise it with a burning passion. Some people love it and say it’s the greatest thing to happen to anime. Hunter x Hunter’s Chimera Ant arc is the most infamous storyline in all six seasons of the show, to the point where even anime fans who’ve never watched the series may have heard of it, because it’s so divisive. And that’s just scratching the barest surface. ![]() There’s this absolute brick house of a man, whose power is basically vaping. A mutant ant harnesses the power to whisk his opponents to a pocket dimension, and he uses it to force them to play tag with him. (You really have to see it to believe it.)

The amount of Alter Bridge, Slash and Myles Kennedy shirts in the crowd today was a testament to the popularity that Mr. The set was multi-faceted, it had massive anthems in the form of ‘Black Flame’ and ‘The Grey (VIXI)’, impressive circle pits ignited sporadically and wave after wave of crowd surfers made the security team earn their keep early on under the imposing burning afternoon sun.Īs I headed towards the Second Stage, still computing the carnage and success I had just been a part of on the Main Stage, I was met with an absolute eye watering colossal crowd, one of which a band sitting at this position on the billing of the Second Stage of a festival shouldn’t perhaps expect, but when you consider that it is the absolute legend that is Myles Kennedy then it all starts to make sense. Daniel Winter-Bates stalked the stage like a man possessed, commanding from the front, and delivering vocals with enough power to light up the entire Download site on their own.
