Look SMART on your smartphone!
The poster was featured in the Spring 2014 issue of Spacing Magazine. My objective was to create a playfully anachronistic poster about cell phone etiquette, had cell phones existed in the 1950s.

LISTEN TO THE VOICES: Put some headphones on and hear a male voice saying No in one ear and a female voice saying Yes in the other. Now focus on just one voice. Your brain produces a distinct electrical brainwave pattern when you pay attention like that. US scientists hope they can use that distinctive pattern to allow locked-in people to communicate with the outside world. Tests with both healthy volunteers and people with advanced Lou Gehrig's disease suggested an accuracy of around 76%. A system like this could be used in conjunction with eye movements to help communication. Any additional techniques must be so helpful.
MUSCLE PLANE: It's short, squat and wide. It can take off and land on extremely short runways. In the centre it's filled with helium to make it light, but a horizontal rotor on the underside spins to either provide lift or to pull it down to land or hover above ground. But that's not all with this plane, blimp, helicopter, hovercraft hybrid: propellers on the tail supply forward motion.
The Extremely Short Take Off and Landing On any Surface project comes out of the EU and is designed to carry cargo or passengers into places where runways and airport facilities are in short supply. At the moment, the aircraft, which looks like it was designed by a committee, is still a concept, in feasibility and wind tunnel testing and awaiting tests with radio controlled models. With this one it's the muscles that matter.
QUICK DROP: It may be small, but it's no toy, the Hirobo HX-1 electric helicopter. Instead it's an autonomous medical emergency and rescue vehicle. It can carry out aerial photography and surveying, or transport lifesaving medical supplies, organs or blood. It can fly for half an hour at up to 100 Kph and has a range of about 48 Km. Such autonomous vehicles have enormous potential for changing lives and could be so useful in the Philippines right about now.
A NEW CYCLE: The Rotterdam railway station handles 110,000 commuters per day and has just been rebuilt. One outstanding feature, apart from parking for more than 5,000 bikes, is its huge solar array on the roof. 130,000 solar cells cover almost a third of the 28,000 square metre roof. That's inspiring: solar cells and bike storage.
SECURE THE CHIT CHAT: Phone your bank's call centre and chances are high you won't be able to correctly answer the security questions intended to prove who you are. Or maybe you chose such obvious answers that fraudsters and identity thieves have no problem fooling call centre staff. Social engineering can also be used to circumvent such security safeguards. One solution may be for banks and similar institutions to use voiceprints and match them to a few seconds of natural speech. Digital voiceprints contain over 100 identifiable elements and are almost impossible to forge. And unlike in TV shows where the bad guys simply record a voice and then use elements from the recording to fool a system, such recordings include compression errors that are impossible to overcome. Many banks in the UK already have huge collections of recorded phone calls, so have a wealth of data to draw on. A quick chat about the weather would be so much more relaxing than trying to answer the usual questions.

The Lives of Leaders: After Class with MBA@UNC Graduate Candice Brown
MBA@UNC attracts a diverse group of busy professionals from across the country. One quality they all share is their deep commitment to professional and personal development. Candice Brown, senior director, HR strategic partner at RAI Services Company, is a prime example of this development-minded spirit and was chosen as the October cohort's student commencement speaker. Brown recently assumed responsibility for the majority of the company's commercial functions, including consumer marketing and research and development. "Previously I had accountability for a number of our services functions, including law, public affairs and HR," she says, "so a shift to the commercial functions is significant, and the MBA prepares me to be better able to interface with these functions and provide strategic guidance." In addition to earning her MBA from UNC, she also holds a law degree and an undergraduate degree in American history, both from UNC.
The MBA@UNC blog recently spoke with Brown about how the program has helped her grow professionally, where she completed some of her coursework (hint: it required a passport), and what she plans to do next. Excerpts follow.
What is the return on investment of working at a demanding job while pursuing your MBA?
By going to class at night and then working in the day, I'm able to really see in real-time how these concepts work. I'm also able to take some of the tactics that I've learned in my program and apply them in my day to day. I'm able to slowly become a better employee as I learn just a little bit more and figure out how I can be useful to my organization.
Is there anything you learned and were immediately able to apply to your job?
I remember learning about pension funding and how that all works in class. Then I walk into a meeting a day or so later, and I'm able to have an intelligent conversation about the status of our pension. Because I'm in human resources, there's really a significant people aspect to what we do, but there's also a critical need to understand the business in order to make decisions about the people. An MBA allows me to make more strategic decisions about how we manage our human capital, because now I truly understand what that is.
Have the networks you've gained from MBA@UNC or the UNC network at large helped you personally or professionally?
Professionally, it's been quite helpful. I'm interested in what other companies do, and it's been very insightful to me as I think about our people and their development. There's a course that we take at MBA@UNC, Leading and Managing, and during that course you spend a lot of time talking about the development of people. The discussion with my peers across their various businesses is very, very helpful.
Are there any stories from your MBA program that illustrate the human elements of the program or show the connected nature of the student body?
I think we were all surprised with the challenging nature of the program. We all worked much, much harder than we ever expected, but looking back I'm thrilled by that because I know that the degree I've got is absolutely top notch. I've got a relatively demanding job, and I lost my father during my first year of the program and my grandfather six months later, so I had to go back to my professors on several occasions to simply say, "I'm drowning here. How can you help me? Can I reschedule these exams? Can I turn in this project at this time?" Without question, at each of those moments it was the most supportive and most cooperative program I could imagine being a part of. It made me want to work harder. When I was able to turn my attention back to it, I wanted to do well because they had been so supportive of me during my difficult times. As your life changes and things pop up, the flexible nature of the program allows you to be an active part of the UNC community wherever you are. I've gone to class in airports. I've gone to class in my car. You can't do that with a program that's traditional brick and mortar.
Since MBA@UNC doesn't have a concentration in human resources, how did you integrate your MBA with your human resources background?
While it may not have a concentration in human resources, there are a lot of things in the MBA@UNC program that are very, very relevant for what I do. I think HR is probably much more analytically driven than people might give it credit for. Just learning to hone my analytical skills was important.
It sounds like you're very committed to the concept of lifelong learning. Any plans to take additional courses?
No more degrees, but I have actually thought about taking some additional courses in the program. There's some neat things coming down the pipeline that are going to be more focused on the organizational behavior part of the program that I would like to go back and take.
Is there anything else that you would like readers to know about the program?
It's probably one of the most amazing MBA programs you could ever run across. I was continually blown away every time I interacted with the faculty or staff. It was just an amazing experience. You get to attend two immersions, and there are always two domestic and two international immersions each year. I went to Brazil and Singapore for mine. We were able to explore the business and industry in Singapore and talk about some of the amazing things that they do to develop and cultivate talent, which particularly struck home for me. I was able to bring some of that discussion back here.
The Global Immersions are just one component that differentiates MBA@UNC from other top MBA programs. Our trip to Johannesburg, South Africa features a number of guest speakers who will give students a rich understanding of the country's business landscape and explain how the region's business environment can be understood in a global context.
George Yanez is from North Carolina and now works as an associate product manager at ReverbNation (a fast-growing tech startup that provides online tools to music industry professionals). Yanez earned his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Virginia Tech and spent 11 years working as a hardware engineer. He completed the MBA@UNC program in December 2013.
Faculty members are a valuable and integral part of any MBA program, and MBA@UNC faculty bring countless years of industry experience and knowledge to the classroom. Among those is Kenan-Flagler Marketing Professor Dr. William Putsis. The author of Compete Smarter, Not Harder: A Process for Developing the Right Priorities Through Strategic Thinking, Putsis focuses on applying game models of competition, competitive strategy, product line strategy and sports marketing. Learn About MBA@UNC from Professor Putsis here.

Check it out for yourself.
Sorry it took me this long to get to your problem, I was out of town. It looks like (unless you took it down) you do not have the complete hack in place and are missing the stuff that goes into your index.php file. Look for something like "Reply to this comment..."
The way this hack works is to reply to a particular comment you have to click on the "reply to comment" link and the javascript creates the correct code.
Ok, reinstalled it but now I'm getting a bunch of errors.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: dodos_thread() in /home/babychic/public_html/wp/wp-comments.php on line 41
Parse error: parse error in /home/babychic/public_html/wp/my-hacks.php on line 56
Chrissy: You have missed something again. I would say you missed the main function. Make sure dodos_thread() goes before anything else in my-hacks.php
I did but it still didnt work. Its weird. I followed the instructions as is.
Make sure dodos_thread() goes before anything else in my-hacks.php
In my-hacks????I downloaded the threaded comments zip file. There was nothing about my-hacks in there. Is there a newer version of the threaded comments?
I have the same problem. No where in the file does it say anything about my-hacks.php...
When I tried to run "add_comment_reply_ID.php", I always get this message:
Can't connect to the database
Duplicate column name 'comment_reply_ID'
Can someone please help me with this? What does the message mean?
Sorry. This thread gets lost all the time.
@rose: That means that the column you are trying to add already exists in your database and does not need to be added anymore.
@anon's: The instructions do not mention that you need to put the functions in my-hacks.php. I was wrong there.
@everyone: There is an update to this hack which will soon be released. Stay tuned. I promise that there will be almost nothing to install! ;-)
LaughingLizard, any news as to when the update will be available, at all? :) I have been toying with the idea of having a go at modifying the hack myself in order to rectify the problems I've been having with it, but since I noticed your post a few weeks ago, I decided to wait for your update instead, although I may just continue with my own modifications if it does not seem that the update will be available soon. :)
I would appreciate if you could please let us know! :) Thanks!
@mitu: Feel free to go ahead and modify the hack. That will benefit everyone. I dont know when I will be able to provide the new distribution in tutorial form, so there is not ETA at this time.

In WordPress 3.0, I cannot specify a custom Link URL for an image when I navigate to "Add an Image" > "Gallery" > "Show" > "Link URL"
Each time I click "Save all changes" after having edited the "Link URL," the new custom URL I enter is ignored.
However, If I click the "File URL" or "Post URL" button, then choose "Save all changes," the change sticks.
Is this a bug in WP 3.0?

Embattled EU steps up for Nobel Peace Prize
- From: AFP
- December 11, 2012
THE European Union, facing its worst crisis in 60 years, was awarded the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize on Monday.
With a score of EU heads of state and government looking on, Norwegian Nobel Committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland handed the prize to a threesome of EU leaders - EU president Herman Van Rompuy, European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso and European parliament president Martin Schulz.
Recalling the 80 million European victims of war and extremism last century, Jagland said "peace must not be taken for granted. We have to struggle for it everyday."
"Together we must ensure that we do not lose what we have built."
His Nobel Committee has come under criticism however for awarding the prestigious 2012 award to the EU at a time when it is riven by divisions and violent anti-austerity protests.
"We are not gathered here today in the belief that the EU is perfect," Jagland said. "Europe needs to move forward. Safeguard what has been gained. And improve what has been created, enabling us to solve the problems threatening the European community today," Jagland said.
"This is the only way to solve the problems created by the financial crisis, to everyone's benefit."
Based on the will of old enemies France and Germany to reconcile after three bloody wars, the EU has grown from six states to 28 next July, when Croatia becomes the latest of Balkans nations embroiled in conflict only 20 years ago to join the bloc.
Leaders of France and Germany, Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel, rose to take a long round of applause from the dozens of dignitaries assembled in Oslo City Hall as the Nobel medal, diploma and almost million-euro prize were handed to the organisation's top officials.
But half a dozen EU leaders, including Britain's premier David Cameron, snubbed the event, taking place just four days before a key EU summit to determine the pace and next steps in attempts to forge a tighter union.
The EU is bristling with talk of a possible walk-out by Britain - or "Brixit"- and the head of Britain's once-marginal but increasingly popular eurosceptic UKIP party, Nigel Farage, said Sunday "far from bringing peace, the EU is engendering violence, poverty and despair across Europe."
Rich nations of northern Europe and the struggling economies of the south are increasingly divided as austerity reforms trigger fiery protests and feed extremist movements such as the one in Greece.
Tensions too remain between the 17 nations that share the euro and those that remain outside, while even relations between France and Germany are rocky.
Differences between the two powers are notably holding up a deal to set up a banking union seen as a key to the future of the eurozone. Van Rompuy and Barroso had hoped to seal off an agreement at this week's summit.
"Europe is going through a difficult period," Van Rompuy said on the eve of the awards ceremony. "We will come out of this time of uncertainty and recession stronger than we were before."
Efforts last month to agree a new multi-year budget collapsed in an ugly showdown between have- and have-not nations of north, south and east, and the bloc too split over its stand on the Palestinian bid for a status upgrade at the UN.
Unprecedented job cuts are threatening stability as unemployment surges to one in four workers in Greece and to a massive one in two under-25s in Spain, whipping up talk of a "lost generation" of European youth.
Jagland said in his prize-giving speech that because of the financial crisis the union was "more important now than ever."
"We must stand together. We have collective responsibility," he said.

Set in the East Village of New York City, RENT is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, RENT has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages.Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's RENT follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves, and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.This is theatre at its best -- exuberant, passionate, and joyous. Regional theatres will love the freedom and flexibility that RENT offers; minimal costuming and sets are required.

Eloy Perez-Vicente Escobedo Clash in Play For January
By Ryan Burton
BoxingScene.com has been advised that a super featherweight clash between Eloy Perez (22-0) and Vicente Escobedo (24-3) is being discussed for January of next year.
Perez must first take care of business on Friday when he faces Ira Terry (24-6) in his adopted hometown of Salinas, CA. The fight will be Perez's second in less than eight weeks and will be broadcast on Telefutura's Solo Boxeo series.
Escobedo defeated Rocky Juarez via unanimous decision last month and has won two fights in a row since losing a decision to Robert Guerrero in an HBO televised fight that took place at 135 pounds. Immediately after the loss, Escobdeo announced that he would be dropping down to the super featherweight division.
Perez has been linked to fights versus fellow prospects Adrian Broner and Luis Cruz in the past. The winner of Perez-Escobedo should have many different options available.
Send questions or comments to [email protected] Follow Ryan on Twitter @ringsidewriter and tune in to The Boxing Lab, Boxingscene's official audio on Tuesdays. The show is hosted by Ernie Gabion, Luis Sandoval and Ryan Burton.
I like this fight for Perez. Make it happen!Comment by nycsmooth on 10-25-2011
Terry presents no trouble...a trial horse now w/a string of losses, he started out as a young fighter w/ great potential that fell completely through the cracks...Comment by 2quik on 10-24-2011

Watch Natalie Merchant's Tiny Desk Concert via NPR Music
Back in November, singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant released Paradise is There, her seventh solo album. The set of songs revisits the songs on Tigerlily, her 1995 debut following her departure from 10,000 Maniacs. This fall, Merchant played an emotive set at the NPR Music offices for the Tiny Desk Concerts, one that Bob Boilen called "truly one of the most warmhearted Tiny Desk performances I've ever seen."

True to form, Kasabian have been making some bold claims about their upcoming fourth album - which we now know is called 'Velociraptor!' (gotta love that exclam) and is out in September.
They reckon it's "heavy" and "squares up to you." They also say it's a "jukebox album", in the sense that every song's a potential smash.
Well now we can test the truth of some of those claims, since they just premiered a track from the album, 'Switchblade Smiles' on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show. You can stream it below. It's also available as a free download when you pre-order the album.
First impression? They've only gone a bit Crystal Castles!
At least, it starts off that way, all 8-bit and arpeggiated, before settling into a (slightly) more familiar aggro-rock groove, anchored by a hefty-yet-brittle guitar riff and the satisfying hook, "Can you feel it coming (OOF!)... can you feel it coming (OOF!)".
See? You're bellowing it already. But this is no brainless lad anthem (even if it does feature a geezerish lyric about "your feet stomping round the room").
'Switchblade Smiles' is druggy, unpredictable, and really quite thrilling, constantly screeching round unexpected melodic corners. Best bit, though? Tom's haggard scream around the 1 minute mark.
Festival-goers can expect to hear this track, and more from Kasabian's fourth album 'Velociraptor!', at the Isle Of Wight this weekend, where 'Switchblade Smiles' will no doubt trigger Prodigy-esque crowd mayhem.
Here's Kasabian's video guide to Isle Of Wight Festival 2011:

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I fully agree with the quantexsucks site. However, I have the misfortune of having
selected the name Fountain Technologies, Inc. for my Texas corporation, in March 1994.
We are a family-only company, we do software only - no hardware ever, we have never cheated or defrauded anyone, we have no debts at all, and we have no connection with the New Jersey company except the common name. All of our customers are happy with us. Our website is www.FountainTech.com
For a full year, I have been receiving all kinds of sad and angry stories from people that were cheated or defrauded by the New Jersey jerks and their subsidiaries, expecially Quantex. I have always answered every one sympathetically. I started collecting the emails in November last year, because there were so many of them, and the stories
were so sad. Now I am having to defend MY name, because of THAT COMPANY's dishonesty and fraud. People hate me because of the New Jersey bunch. I'm even getting lawsuits from dumb people who can't tell the difference, and are too mad to care any more.

SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 14, 2012POSTED: Saturday, January 14, 2012
That they had to close their doors is sad, and what I hear about the treatment of the employees and customers at the end is also sad, but that reflects the owners' attitudes to people in general. Not ALL the owners, but Jason definitely did not ooze a warm and fuzzy for people. When he tried to be nice it came off as fake. And he'd generally be "nice" right after he relaized he insulted or really pissed off a productive employee. He'd doen it to me more than once and I watched him do it to another high ranking owner and very bright man there in charge of engineering, MT. That's pretty much when I decided to leave because I knew someone who didn't care about people as their first instinct were destined to use them and throw thm away.
Otherwise I was proud to work there with the team I had and the collegues in other segments of Fountain (Pionex,etc.). They were some really bright people trying to make something of themselves. And for the most part those that I kept in touch with have done very well for themselves carrying on that spirit and drive (that coincidentally had little to do with Fountain in general but the team spirit fostered by some creative middle management).
Quantex and CyberMax were great computers when I left there. But as often is the case, it looks like bad fiscal decisions by the owners led to it going away.

Yep: I say my name so you can know who said this.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 UPDATE EX-employee responds
How can it be?
AUTHOR: Pauline - (Taiwan)
SUBMITTED: Monday, February 03, 2003POSTED: Monday, February 03, 2003
That company is by no means a rip off company. With a wide range of branch offices across the country, the headquarter based in N.J. has always been trying hard to upgrade its products as well as its service. People there are honest engineers and the president holds a Ph.D degree from Columbia university. I even accompanied them to the Empire building on the 5th floor to give a product presentation (386-16) in front of PC magazine editors in 1988.
It's been sooo long ago, now I am in Taiwan teaching English. I believe that company remains the same with a group of outstanding and hard-working people putting their collaborative efforts to meet the market demands.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

With the addition of two new precincts, Lauderdale County has a shortage of voting machines.
County administrator Rex Hiatt outlined the problem Thursday.
"We've got enough to staff the polling precincts with machines but we don't have any extras if we have mechanical breakdowns the day of election to replace them," said Hiatt.
The board voted to rent three additional machines at $500 each for the next three elections, a total of $4,500.

I think this would be a good trade for us, just not sure if Chargers would do it. They
do need a NT and we need pass rushing help (even if Merriman is only half as good as he was, that's 7 or 8 sacks a year).
Does anyone have any thoughts on this idea?

Dear all,
Can someone give me any information(location/website/telephone) about the corporate office set up in Doha by the upcoming GSM operator Vodafone?
hav fun,
Ratings calculated automatically using technology developed at QCRI and MIT.
Click here to learn more.
unlikely they have an office...since they hvnt started operations yet
But since they've to start the initial activities (Network/infra deployment) to roll out the services within a few months, they must be starting one somewhere in Doha or will be setting up one soon. If anyone's got any idea, kindly do inform....
and can find nothing regarding coming to Qatar. If you want to check this out yourself, the address is: www.vodafone.com

Hopefully we'll hear 'em say the sim card's on sale in Qatar one fine morning!!!
" Verily, with every difficulty there is relief " - H Q 94:06
You won't find anything on the vodafone website because it's just vodafone technically.
It's like what MTC did. They licensed the name and the technology, however once the license ended, they rebranded from MTC Vodafone to Zain.
This is a QF project with Vodafone as a partner.
I'd suggest contacting QF.
I myself am trying to get a friend in who's worked for both MTC and Batelco.
What is the news in doha about when the new operator is meant to become active? This might be indicative of when they plan to start setting up infrastructure.
Its interesting that no news from vodafone!!!
they are in a huddle
Amnesia, I agree with u.But here the case is a bit different. In Kuwait, MTC's a telecom player on its own,even though backed by Vodafone.(ZAIN is still vodafone,even though rebranded.U'll get a direct link from Vodafone global site to all ZAIN branded countries)
But Qatar Foundation is not, and they'll need complete support and guidance from Vodafone.
Lets hope the consortium would end the 'silence' some day...
would be in shock after being told that you'd be working with Qatar Foundation on the new mobile license. They'd probably be trying to hire professors and lecturers thinking that they might have to train QF people on how to design built and run a cellphone company.
I havent been able to get the slightest idea why did vodafone joined QF or is it that they had no choice.
Whatever the reasons or causes maybe this bidding process shall never be called transparent and fair
hey guyz plz lemme know toooooo
if they dont know what there doing they should start advertising there name and logo should be seen so that everyone knows there coming and for them to see the market Potential.
trust me, they've got plenty of people and the buzz going around is advertisement enough until they launch

Nokia-Siemens is supposed to provide Infrastructure for Vodafone projects as in many countries..they have started their office in Abuhamoor, I am not sure, that's what I feel...
Nokia Siemens Network A.K.A (NSN) has this office long time ago workin for Qtel SWAP project.
As per Vodafone, vendors are already selected, Huawei for Radio part, and Nokia (NSN) for Core.
Now, you have to dig more for the operator location...
Grahame Maher will be The CEO of Vodafone- Qatar
but there office will open by late 2008, so just wait for a few more month and u will hav ur asnwer
Hello ;
as per Vodafone website , Vodafone Qatar will launch its services in the latter part of 2008.
so they should have now an office in Qatar ; did any body got any info.
checked their website as well but it seemed like we're facing a wall. I read an article or two in Gulf Times but it seemed that we don't have any info/feedback regarding this...
good luck
I hear that it's going to open on September and that is because the new iPhone is comming with it..
that's what I've heared.. :)
I heard before that ericsson will be the sub-contractor of vodafone.... did anybody know the office of ericsson.. so that we can ask ericsson where is the office of vodafone???
That they will launch in November.
Now think back To Khaliji's launch with all that "Orange" crap - it was only a month or so before, and they had no office. Patience dear friends.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Vodafone is on the way.. my friend's dad works for Vodafone and he has been busy traveling to and from Qatar (from UK) to get things moving.
Don't worry, it'll be up and running soon.

I am working in Qatar for a Travel agency, and Vodafone Qatar is one of our corporate companies buying airtickets through us. Their office is located in City center of Doha( on 15th Floor of Comercial bank building). If you are in Qatar you can call 180 and ask for vodafone telephone and fax number.
RGs Pradip
I tried calling 180 but they told me they have no number for Vodafone in Qatar :(((((
"What makes you different can make all the difference in the World"
dear all,
thanx alot for the information u wrote here & i hope u keep us up to date about vodafone as there s alot of people who r looking forward to get any contact of vodafone Qatar..
mr.pra123 can u give us more details about that building n the city center please..i live n Qatar but this "commercial bank building" s not a clear address..so i hope u can provide us the telephone number or a clear discription of this building it would be greatful..
I would like to work for vodafone, if you get any new information please do not hesitate to inform me.
Thank you
They have setup an office in Wset Bay area in one of the Towers .
Don t recall which one .
Can someone in Qatar confirm this number?
I believe 180 is the telephone directory number?
it is the new commercial bank building near the post office and corniche. level 15. i have been there multiple times, that is all the info you need to get there.
it is not in the city centre, as the previous person stated, it is in the city however
there is a vodafone site for Qatar but there are no details. it just says "coming soon" > http://www.vodafone.com.qa/
this is Vodafone Qatar e-mail for whom are looking for working in it:
it's not even QF, vodafone is rather with QSTP.
..and network jobs are going on since long time ago, but not by Vodafone itself. There is another company who is doing it.. but.. i am not sure whether i can disclose their name..

Hi Hassan,
How can I apply? I heard job opportunities recently. Vodafone has in fact launched interview scheds in the Philippines this coming December. Should I venture into that or is there a better way? Please advise me. Thank you!
If you are willing to join Vodafone in their Customer Service department. I have got the address and contact details of a local consultancy doing hiring in Doha.
Anyone wanna join Vodafone can contact me for further details.
hi, do you have an email contact?
I guess few days back, People Dynamic placed an ad in Gulf times. I got a call from Malati and she asked me to attend a pre-interview session.
Inshallah i'll be meeting Vodafone hiring team tomorrow.
Address and contact details of People Dynamic is mentioned below :
Al-Sadd street, Drop at Commercial Bank
Next to CBQ building Pearl Tower. 3rd floor.
People Dynamic consultants hiring for Vodaphone
Client vist and interviews on 27th Nov 11AM.
any chance we from the Philippines could apply directly instead of going to recruitment agencies? Please help. Thanks!
You mean with out attending an interview in Doha, you want to join Vodafone. I guess this is not possible.
Actually Vodafone is operating in India. So when a vodafone customer calls the contact center(customer service) number his/her call lands-up in India. For Arabic speaking customers, they have a contact center in Egypt.
So you might be asking why they are hiring customer care representatives in Doha. Basically, the customer care executives(nearly 50-70) are being hired for the corporate clients,big-shots,billing disputes,complaints etc functioning from Doha.
Hi Hussain, i think jayeftee wants to know if there is a way to apply directly to VODAFONE without applying for any recruitment agency like People Dynamic.
By the way,are there other positions being offered by People Dynamic aside from customer care representative?
hi hassan, just wanna know if Vodafone's office @ 15th/flr Commercial Bank Building is open for walk-in applicants?Would you know any specific person connected to Vodafone with whom we can send our CV? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
go to qatar foundation... i hear ther is one office for Vodafone... see my friend i do not have time to go to there... if u want to there tell me... ok bye bye
Yesterday when i reached Commercial Bank tower to attend an interview for Vodafone. A lady (Vodafone employee) took us to Qatar Foundation and had a session.
Inshallah i am pretty confident that from a bunch of 14 i'll be selected for the post of Cust Serv Rep.
My dear friends, unfortunately i forgot to take their direct contact details. And even they said that People Dynamic will provide me further details related to HR interview. So i guess, they are hiring thhrough consultancies rather going by themselves.
good to hear that hussain.congrats! anyway if in case you've got to know other opening aside from customer care rep please let me know..thank you so much in advance.
Surely buddy smhiley..... If everything goes well and after joining Vodafone i will let you know about other openings too.
thanks alot... got the real good news from him,,, ur lucky by the way... tnx for the info and good luck!
even i gave my interview yesterday..
what salary are you expecting ?

As far as the vendor or product provider of the technology for Vodafone Qatar is concerned, it nor NSN, neither Huawei that have been selected at the final stage. The company that will provide definitively the tech is Alcatel for both the Radio and Core technologies (2G & 3G). For iPhone freaks, it will be working very fine, no worries.....
Hi Sanzqa.... Congratulations. Hope you will get selected. I do got an e-mail from Ppl Dynmc stating i have been selected but no where they mentioned about compensation package.
Everyone is expecting Vodafone to pay far better than the current companies in Qatar as they are entering a new market and attracting talented pool and retention would be one of the biggest challenge for HRs.
i called already their office, i spoke to someone and asked also idea of their offer. she said its around 6K but a friend of mine told me that her friend has been offered a package of QR 8K.
Chai could you please ask your friend to contact me. As even i came to know that they are offering 6k. But i think 8k is an excellent offer.
wow maaaaann ,, 8k is too good ... i hope i make it... :)
hi frendz..I am new here..Do any of u guys know whether Vodafone qatar is recruiting for any Tech jobs(Hardware realated)other than Customer support. Is the interview for Customer Support all over?? or still any1 can send their CV's? If yes to which mail id or should we need to go there directly and submit? Plz help me frenz out there...
I have no idea about technical positions. Talking about Cust Serv, you can contact people dynamics at 4322269 and ask them to provide an e-mail address where you can forward the CV.
Any further assistance, please contact me.

I guess Vodafone is hiring people from India too. Does anyone have any idea regarding this????
Infact.offer is really high and it's equal to international wage standars.and obviously you will see some perfect and dynamic sri lankans.
They will recruit only the best.
by the way people, they are recruiting from doha and India (COK) through people dynamic. people dynamic is the authorised recruitment agency for vodafone.
and visit ..www.vodafone.com.qa
yeah yea produde i can imagine how high ....
the sal they are offering here is not less than 6k+accomodation,
how much is that in SL Rupees ? 1,50,000/- ?????

Oh my God!!! I told several people that joinus@vodafone is incorrect and they dont have any website currently for Vodafone Qatar. Hiring is still goin on.
Guyzzz you can contact People Dynamic for any queries related to hiring(customer service representatives and sales consultants). I got the phone number of people dynamics as 4322269.
Just to help those who deservre to be a part of Vodafone customer service team, i can provide them assistance.
how u doing man .. ??
lsn im sure the offer will be more than 8k..
u knw y ..
coz now im getting 9k and they called me and they asked me alot of questions about me on the phone and i told them about my salary ..
then they told me oky u have interview next day ..
so dont worry it will be more than 8k
Hey i called up in that number(4322269) and they gave me a number of ihorizon technical support. When i called to that number, some1 told me they dont know anythin about vodafone...
"Only that in U which !$ ME can hear Wot I am sayin...."
anzal ya its ihorizon who interview us for vodafone and this onther number 4322185
but y they told u we dont knw anthing about vodafone !!!??
Noway buddy.... If ur basic is 8K currently, then they might say you "Ur expectations are too high and we can give you just 6K as basic". But i pray, you may get an offer of 10K at least ;)
I guess iHorizon dont want to entertain everyone in regards to hiring.
Check the link below for complete contact details of People Dynamics.
Hussain can u add me plz ... email@example.com
i have added you as a buddy in QL.
You are mistaken i guess..you may be right on 6k equal to RS.150k..but as i said they will offer a international standard wage. infact , i didn't compare the curruncy behaviours in a particular country.
i do not know the job, you have apllied for.but what i can tell you is they are offering 15k+10k for Store Managers and 12k+10K for Team leaders Plus perfomance bonus.i've been Travelling all around the world .as far as compensation concern it's a fair and reasonable wage to start with.
'Think Of You As Special.No One Can Play Your Role Better Than You. But Have No Regrets As Well As SARCASM.May Be Your Talking To Someone Who Is Special'...xxx
Exactly.... they are offering 10K to team leads and 6k to a cust care rep(the position i applied for and got selected). I am not converting it in any other currency and as my intentions are to bring my parents here in Doha to live with me, surely this is not a satisfactory compensation.
One of my friend worked for Vodafone in Dublin as a cust care rep and he said i am being paid half the amount he is earned. Probably this is because of cost of living and many other factors.
End of the day, i have decided to go with Vodafone as i need to go to India ASAP due to some unavoidable situations. So, thank you guys for all your support and advise.
SORRY guys...call 4322269 and ask for malithi or Sally.Working hours 8.00a.m-5.00p.m. Mail your CV to email@example.com
Currently having opennings only for Customer Care Representatives and Retail Advisers.
Wot happened to me was i called in between eid holidays , so the call got trabsfered to some temp guys who doesnt know bout this...neways if any of u r lookin for a career t vodafone, plz mail ur CV to the maild id mentioned above or call directly to that number....
"Only that in U which !$ ME can hear Wot I am sayin...."

hello hussain
Yes they are very much hiring in India... i got a couple of times, by the time i called them back.. they told me that they had only 60 openings and they rcvd thousands of resumes.. that is the demand here.. people are willing to work for anything from 5k qatar riyals... i have applied again.. keeping my fingers crossed.. Insha allah, it shud work...
people are willing to work for 5k Qrs ?
Man !!! charmin , i think people there shld be more aware of the cost of living here ...
Am not saying 5k is less , but its definetly an Avg sal..especially considering the fact that we have to do shifts..
Hussain, am confused now, if they are hiring people from India & Srilanka , why have they called us then ?
best of luck anyways charmin .....
live n let live
do you have any idea if they have openings for marketing / marketing communications?
:) thanks in advance!
Again i would rather say, they could get effective labor ar cheaper cost from Asian subcontinent. In Doha, they probably just want to show that even people from Qatari nationality were given chance to get jobs.(a very wild guess).
Best of Luck Charmin :)
hey charmin...
Well i am at qatar rite now.so mebbe i can giv ya info about qatar recruitment. People Dynamics is recruitin for vodafone at qatar. Either u can call them directly in (00974)4322269 and ask for malithi or Sally(Working hours 8.00a.m-5.00p.m qatar time) OR u can Mail your CV to firstname.lastname@example.com. If shortlisted they ll call u or get in touch with u via email.neways ALL THE BEST BUDDY.....
"Only that in U which !$ ME can hear Wot I am sayin...."
thanks so much everyone for letting me know about the openings... Have sent my resume thru email..thanks again guys...
Vodafone is recruting from 8 countrys.
I guess you are mistaken Mr Produde... Vodafone is not restricting themselves to hire from 8 countries.
If a candidate is deserving, then surely they are providing a chance by asking the guy to prove his metal during the interviews.
I guess Vodafone is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminates on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, creed, looks etc...
Best of luck guys.... I'm flying back home n see you soon in Vodafone office.
Hussain... when does u r training start ??
live n let live
They said i'll be on board from Feb 1st.
hai can i come and attnd vodafone intervws..it is clsd?
hie Hussain,
i have read all that u guyz have wrote.plz tell me 1st of all are they taking people??r they taking girls??
Oye bubbli...Ofcourse they r.... lol ;)
Ali buddy...Yes Ppl Dynmcs is still callin candidates to come n attend interviews. So i think still positions r vacant.
Man why do u think Vodafone will discriminate on the basis of sex. On the other hand, i see cust care rep is more suitable job for girls.
Just give a try u never know what's there in the kitty for you.
do they recruit it engineers? i have 5yrs experience in the field ... may be you can reply the email address or website.
i have been called for the final intrvw at vodafone office next week , "no way" hope to c you from there buddy.
bealex call ppl dynamics ..
live n let live
any new news...?
have you received any news from that company (vodafone)..?
did u passed the interview?
hie hussain
well i did go 4 d interview n she said dey will let me knw on sunday if i got through or not.so let see i feel i might get.but can u please tell me whats next coz it seems there is another interview by the vodafone team.
well i am returning to India and enjoy my vacation there before i start with Vodafone.
I'll be asked to provide documents in the mid of Jan. So as ok now, nothings new.
Buddy i'm not being over-confident, but Alhamdulillah i have got offer from every firm i attended an interview. Do you still have any doubt ;)
well, congrats to you then.
i already send my applications through email.
is there any chance for Indonesian, to join with them (vodafone)?
and since i'm still at indonesia now, will they interviewed me too..?
i mean, is it possible to interview by phone or email?
'coz its impossible for me to go there, just to be present at the interview... :(
*except if they already accept me as their employee, ofcourse.
Thanks man... But i have know nothing about just telephonic interviews. I have been through personal interviews and can assist you in regards to that.
I guess its difficult to assess anyone for the post of sales rep / Cust sev only on phone/e-mail.
Best of luck buddy.... :)
i can see that..
it sounds impossible to interview someone only through phone/email..
i really2 wants to work there.
kindda bored here.
do you have any other way for me to get there, working with them?
or.. can you help me to convince them?
i have 2 years experience in customer service
1 year as a Team Leader of Customer Service
more than 2 years working as a sales executive.
do you know when will they close this opportunity?
and, do you know other positions (except the customer service)?
Thx b4
OMG!!! u worked as a Team lead and then wanna start again as a CSR here. Its surprising.
Buddy if u wanna try ur luck here, then y dont u come on a visit and give a shot.
Hiring will stop once they get the number of employees they are looking for. I guess by Mid-Jan its gonna be filled.
i'll take it as a compliment.
thx anyway.
well, i oredy worked as a TL in my country.
not as a TL in other country...
and.. if i hv to start all over again, it'll be oukay for me.
as the way it works, they'll give me another chance as a TL if i works well. :)
ofcourse i wanna give a shot.. but.. the ticket, its so expensive. and i hv no relations there. what will i do after i arrived there..? and.. place to stay?
hufh. what a hard gambling..
AFTAB BHAI Says......
R they(VODAFONE) still recruiting?
Iam gonna visit Qatar in Feb,
and planning to apply for this job,
currently working as CSR for Vodafone NZ....
since 1 and a half year....
any chances of me getting in?
Undoubtedly you stands a chance to be selected as a CSR with Vodafone Qatar. The only thing you need to stress in front of HRs here is in regards to your understanding about gulf consumers.
Give a try buddy, i'm sure you are one of my potential colleague. :)
AFTAB BHAI Says......
Thanks for the encouragement,in regards to gulf consumers my mother will help in as she has done this for last 10 years in qatar,she runs a manpower recruitment agency known as Al-Waleed manpower on Doha,she will definitely help in this,as she is the one who actually wants me to settle there,
any way will see when i come there,
hussain can you please give me your contact number so that when iam there will contact you,if you don't mind.
Aftab bhai.... I would love to talk to a friend like you. Gimme a buzz at 00974 6269817.
In regards to your mother, she is absolutely correct. I like to say, Doha is a place where you can stay with your family and enjoy a happy married life.
Any assistance required, i'm just a call away.
AFTAB BHAI Says......
Thanks a lot,much appreciated.
will get in touch when i get there?
I am leaving NZ on 23rd and will be in India for couple of weeks and then to Doha,
see you there.
Thanks again.
hi guys,
I am new here, I would like to ask if anyone knows if vodafone is recruiting any fresh graduates. I don't have any experience yet, i just did my training in Qtel. I am an electrical engineer and I am searching for a sales engineer position.
one more thing, shall I apply to the email mentioned on vodafone.com.qa ( firstname.lastname@example.com ), or is there any other email address?
AFTAB BHAI Says......
I think there are still vacancies in VF,

and yes that is the correct email address and the only one.
Good Luck.

According to their policy, if you re-enter, you simply pick up where you left off. When I was withdrawn, I was enrolled in one course. Meaning, when I re-enrolled I was only supposed to be scheduled for the one course. When the session started, I discovered I was enrolled in a second class. I brought this to their attention.
Even though I told them of their mistake, they informed me there were other issues that needed to be resolved before we could address the scheduling mistake. They failed to inform me there were deadlines on getting this matter resolved.
There was an issue with the way they had formatted a financial document and I was withdrawn for a second time. While clearing up this matter, I was told by the admissions advisor that the second class would be dropped. They failed to mention that I would be charged for their mistake.
So, now they are trying to charge me in excess of $3600 for the mistake they made. I have called them several times to resolve this issue but they have never returned my phone calls.
My re-admission advisor is Dave Charles, who they said I would need to speak to this about. I had not been able to figure out why he has not returned my calls until this morning, which is when I found out that they are now charging me for their mistake.
That, is a huge RIPOFF!!!
