Scam 101 - I urge you to read my latest article about Scam at www.sofianaznim.com or my FB page @ SF Artography
This topic is so important for everyone to understand and please exercise caution at all times because it involves everything you got, in extreme cases, even your life. I can't share the whole text here because it is a detailed post and limited in IG. Please read through the article to understand more about the ❗type of scams, ❗how to detect scammers and also ❗ways to avoid from being scammed.
During these rough times - Covid19, many unethical parties are waiting to take advantage of unsuspecting individuals who also need money to survive. This parties we called scammers. They capitalise on people's hardship and fears to manipulate other vulnerable people.
Be aware that scammers are also sophisticated with their tactics and have many types of schemes and businesses that they disguised to look legitimate and interesting, but their motive is to swindle your hard-earned money and take advantage of your situation. Once they get what they want, they will vanish.
This is crucial, I advise my family, friends and followers to be more vigilant when making business and investments decisions to not fall into their lies and fake promises.
I have seen so many individuals and groups of people around me that have been scammed and in businesses that are scamming people.
Let us all exercise extreme caution when being offered something lucrative and being promised heavens on earth. If someone is promising you quick and so much money (rich), no risk, and everything seems perfect/too good to be true, please be careful. Just remember, the faster and easy you get something better, the faster and easy you get something worse.
Report and file a complaint to relevant authorities if you know any scammers or has been a victim of scams.
Protect yourself from being a victim of a scam. It's better to have little or enough money but it belongs to us than having a lot of money that isn't ours, taking from unfortunate people and scamming people for a living. Remember this.

《新世代演員特集》
「兩位當演員十多年了,還會視自己為新演員嗎?」
其:我已入行12年,對外界來說,我們也許算新吧,也不算很多人認識,但行內便算不上新演員了。心態而言我會把自己定義為新演員,畢竟還有很多不懂的事情。但不是指我是新演員,我可以錯,而是我還未學夠。
.
龍:我已入行13年,在電影界我絕對是新演員,在舞台劇界我絕對不是新演員。演員就像舞台劇,每場都要保持新鮮感,才會活起來。雖然電影是錄像,但每次roll機都需要尋找新的元素,所以這種能力和態度,應該是植根在演員體內的。新演員嗎?我覺得任何時候都應該要當新演員。

[Internet Archive: “How to Hire the Best People” by Marc Andreessen]
There are a lot of great articles on the internet which early stage founders can read to improve their knowledge, today I’m sharing with some of you an old article published by Marc Andreeseen from 2007 - “How to Hire the Best People.”
This article is definitely not your usual “how to hire” article, in fact, it covers only 2 areas regarding hiring, but it brings incredible value and truth. Let’s begin with the Marc’s first area of interest:
To hire the best people, it’s about #Criteria: what to value when evaluating candidates.
Most startups make the mistake of copying how successful companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon hire, making their decision mostly based on intelligence, aka degrees and qualifications. But there are many other factors that contribute to outstanding employees, and these factors play a much bigger role than intelligence.
Much like Venture Capital investing, one of the most important factors we look for in a founder is their motivation, or as Marc calls it - #Drive. Hiring for drive rather than intelligence will bring much more to your startup, simply because driven people are self-motivated and motivating unmotivated people is not easy.
The next important criteria to hire for is #Curiosity, simply put - passion for their craft. Anyone who is passionate about what they do, will be eager to learn, read, practice, and continuously immerse themselves in the craft, stay current with the trend or perhaps ahead of the trend, passionate people simply do this because they love what they do.
“The easiest way to be driven is to be in a field that you love, and you'll automatically be curious.” If you are a founder, this is the type of people you want to hire. If you are an employee, find a field that you truly loves and finds interesting, then, staying driven and curious will be easy. Would you rather be skiing uphill or downhill? One is exciting and fun, and the other is simply impossible.
The last but certainly not the least, is #Ethics. This is a hard one to tell simply from an interview, so background checks are a must. Marc warns us heavily about people with bad ethics, much like unmotivated people, unethical people are very unlikely to change. Marc suggests picking a topic which you know really well and ask hard questions, when they lie about the answer rather than admitting they don’t know, you should avoid these liars with a ten-foot pole.
To hire the best people, it’s about #Process: the logistics of the hiring
I won’t go too deep into this part, you can read the original article for better details. But to summarize, write down your process and questions you’d like to ask during the interview. Having consistency helps you and your team to Iterate, and only by refining your process and questions you’ll get a better match between candidates and the position.
Marc also warn us about not paying enough attention to red flags during the interview or reference checks. People often downplay the answers they receive or signals during the interview. From Marc’s experience, these signals are usually right, so unless you are completely convinced, you shouldn’t hire them.
----
It is not easy to get great talent, so once they come onboard, make sure to treat them well!! Getting great talent is one of the hardest part of being an early stage founder. I’ve only really covered 1/3 of the article, so I hope you’ll read the full text and take actions to improve your hiring process.
