🚩 In January 2023 alone, 3.9 million people left their jobs, significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels.

🚩 Replacing a full-time employee can cost up to 2x-5x their annual compensation.

💡 Let’s Normalize Sharing Interview Questions Beforehand! 💡
Imagine walking into an interview prepared, confident, and fully ready to share your story. That’s the power of sharing interview questions in advance. It’s a game-changer for candidates and interviewers, and here’s why every hiring team should make it a best practice.

1️⃣ Better Prepared Candidates, Richer Conversations 🗣️
Knowing the questions ahead of time empowers candidates to dive deep. They can prepare thoughtful examples, stories, and achievements to share in a more genuine, compelling way. No more scrambling for answers under pressure—it’s all about meaningful, valuable conversations. When candidates feel prepared, interviewers see their best selves.

2️⃣ Smooth, Structured Interviews 🗂️
When interviewers send questions in advance, they have to organize their thoughts and plan. This structure makes the interview flow smoothly, allowing interviewers to focus on responses rather than coming up with questions on the fly. The result? A more efficient, effective evaluation process where both sides can be truly engaged.

3️⃣ Encourages Candidate Curiosity 💡
Sharing that final question—"What questions do you have for me?"—reminds candidates to think critically about the role and company. This isn’t just a test of curiosity; it’s an invitation to show what they value, allowing interviewers a deeper glimpse into their priorities and thought processes.

4️⃣ Supports Inclusivity and Equity 🌍
Interviews are high-stakes situations, and providing questions upfront gives all candidates, especially neurodiverse or introverted individuals, an equitable chance to prepare. It levels the playing field and removes some of the inherent biases in traditional interview structures, making it easier for everyone to succeed.

What’s Your Take?

If you’re a recruiter or hiring manager, have you tried sharing interview questions beforehand? If so, what benefits or challenges did you experience? If not, what’s holding you back? Let’s discuss how we can make the interview process fairer and more effective for everyone involved. 🚀

Candidates, if you’ve experienced an interview where you received questions upfront, how did it change your experience? Let’s hear your story in the comments! 👇

Let’s work together to build a new standard in hiring—one that’s more equitable, insightful, and rewarding for everyone. 🌟

In the ever-changing world of tech I've carved a niche for myself as a committed Software Developer. My love of the subject has not just resulted in me accumulating readers of over one million on a variety of blogs as well as to launch 2023's most sought after Data Science Bootcamp. My academic background is solidified by an Bachelors in Computer Science which has been crucial in my work.

My method of developing websites is multi-faceted, making sure there's the seamless integration of aesthetics for the front end and robust back-end functions. This balanced approach has enabled me to design user experience that stands out connecting with users and meeting the business goals.

Collaboration is at the core of any successful project. I've had the honor in leading, and working with some of the most skilled teams in the business. Together, we've tackled problems with aplomb, streamlined workflows and incorporated technology into our decisions that are in perfect alignment with the overall goals of our projects.

Performance is not a matter of negotiation. Each component I'm involved with undergoes rigorous optimization procedures to ensure efficacy, scalability and reactivity. Each of the projects I've completed has served as a learning experience and has provided me with valuable lessons and enhancing my method further.

The concept of AI has always fascinated me. I've been pursuing AI's capabilities to improve the offerings of our products. The aim? Improved user satisfaction. The process of infusing AI into the process of optimizing products has been thrilling and I'm always watch for the next major breakthrough in this field.

Some of the milestones I treasure in my heart are co-founding the world's most prestigious Data Science Bootcamp in 2023 getting an appearance in the UBC Dean's List in 2022 and training more than 1000 developers since the year 2015. My contributions and work have also been acknowledged by industry leaders, including appearances in respected publications like Forbes.

In the words of industry experts I've had the pleasure to collaborate with, my commitment to digital excellence is evident. As Entrepreneur puts it, my approach to digital solutions is both innovative and grounded, striking the right balance between vision and execution.

My professional path is a combination of technical proficiency, a team spirit, and an unstoppable determination to achieve excellence. I invite you to join me to collaborate and take part in this thrilling digital journey.

Restoring the Tower: LunarTech Releases The Full-Stack Architecture of LunarTech Babel

LunarTech has introduced Babel, an open-source platform designed to eliminate language barriers in the fields of global education and research. Unlike generic translation tools, this system is engineered to convert complex technical documentation and academic papers without losing the original context or formatting. By utilizing Generative AI, Babel ensures that the translated output retains the precise layout of the source file, making it immediately ready for professional use.

The platform prioritizes functionality over hype by strictly maintaining the structure of documents, including multi-column layouts and embedded images. During development, the engine was stress-tested against dense academic papers to ensure it could accurately handle difficult elements like mathematical formulas and data tables. This focus on high fidelity allows the software to distinguish between text that needs translation and immutable data that must remain untouched to preserve scientific accuracy.

To ensure accessibility for all users, Babel features a simple “plug-and-play” interface that hides complex backend architecture behind an intuitive, easy-to-configure dashboard. The tool currently supports high-quality translation for over 22 languages, including complex scripts like Japanese and Thai, with a roadmap for further expansion. Developed in collaboration with Google and OpenAI, this resource is now available on GitHub for anyone wishing to bridge the gap in global knowledge transfer.

Over the past few years at LunarTech, I’ve been incredibly proud of the work we’ve been doing with an exceptional team, and some truly powerful partners.

One of the things I’m most proud of is that as an American/Caucasian Founder and Armenian, we have been able to contribute to the significantly while we are able to channel maybe tiny part of LunarTech's potential.

For us, our country isn’t just a place on the map.

When you grow up outside your country, you see clearly what it costs when we don’t invest in our own nation—sometimes even when we don’t have a choice. That’s why I’m deeply proud of what we’ve been building in Armenia and United States with LunarTech and our other companies. And still, I believe we’ve barely reached tiny part of our potential.

We’re just getting started.
We’re building

…and there is so much more on the way.

I’m fully committed, my team is fully committed, and we’re going to continue until we achieve what we set out to do. 

This is only the beginning.

We’re excited to spotlight Rod Morrison journey with the LunarTech Data Science Bootcamp 🚀

When Rod joined us, he was a Chief Architect at Raken AI Labs looking to sharpen his hands-on technical skills and deeply understand what’s really happening “under the hood” of modern Data and AI systems. Coming from years in leadership, he wanted a programme that was practical, structured, and would help him move from fuzzy ideas to real MVPs—fast and real data knowledge.

Through LunarTech Rod was able to rebuild his technical edge in Data and AI while also improving how he communicates AI value to both engineers and business leaders.

Today, Rod has been promoted to #Head of Data Science and AI at Raken AI Labs, leading a team of six ( PhD data scientists and data engineers), while also running his own consultancy, CodeRod Solutions. 

As Rod says: “Follow the system. It works.”
