2017 is coming to an end, that means time for winter holidays. Despite the fact that we continue working even while everyone rests, it's time to congratulate all those who are interested in the Skillmarket project or just by chance stumble upon our page.
This year was not easy, but it surely was extremely productive. We formed the project team, released a beta-version of the platform and also started up a token sale. We are really glad that an interest in Unolabo was shown not only by ordinary Internet users but also by venture capital funds and other serious organizations. We hope that your 2017 turned out to be as effective and the result of it will form an excellent basis for future successes in the next 2018!
We congratulate you on the holidays and wish you health, financial well-being and strength of mind for new even more outstanding victories! We wish you successes in everything you do, and do not forget the words of the famous American educator Marva Collins: "Success does not come to you ... you go to it!".

Japan is known to the whole world by the employees devoted to their firms, who every day work overtime and stay at work late. Because of this every year dozens of deaths from fatigue and stress are registered in the country. T-Frend drones which will fly on office can solve an overtime work problem and "expel" the sat-up employees with loud music.
However, Japan's problems are incomprehensible to the other countries. Because of the difficult economic and political situation in many world regions today a high level of unemployment is registered. It provokes the labor migration of the local population to more developed and rich states.
Unolabo will allow users to find work both abroad and in the place of accommodation.Why leave your family and take risks, leaving to work in the far corners of the planet, if you can work remotely and get good money for it? Can’t work remotely? Unolabo will teach.

The Americans will build them in London, Hampshire, Westcott and Leicester University. According to the Head of the British Space Agency Graham Turnock, they are in search of companies that will be offered a grant and funding. But it on condition of moving to Great Britain.

The success of AI is an open secret. It leads to the extinction of a number of professions. First of all, the technology endangers low-skilled workers, whose work can be automated. The rest of the professions are considered more or less secure, especially in the creative branches. For example, artists, designers, and musicians are sure AI is not capable of creativity and creating a unique work of art. Is that really so?
Today there are neural networks and algorithms that not only write music, but also create pictures. For example, DeepArt.io has created an app for editing photos in various art styles. And this is just the beginning.
In order to not end up unemployed, people today need to constantly learn new skills, applying their profile education in the realities of the new time. With our Unolabo Skillmarket platform anyone can learn new skills without leaving their own apartment. Do not give up your position to AI so easily - learn and grow.

Any form of forced labor, including child labor, has come to an end in Uzbekistan. At least this was reported to the UN, where they perform an active educational work. Under the pressure of international organizations, the country authorities refused to attract children, school children, students, teachers and medical workers to collect cotton forcibly. From now on, an involvement in work will be exclusively voluntarily and give a higher salary.
As it is known, for the Central Asian countries the problem of the first workplace is urgent and labor migration is widespread. But the conditions for migrants and the region residents themselves are not always very favorable. Many people want to leave the country for a while for work, but for this, you also need to earn money, then again there is nowhere to do it. It turns to be a vicious circle. So at the end of the day they get engaged in a heavy low-paid work.
The Unolabo Skillmarket project will help to break this circle. Our team sees its social function partly in the willingness to help the labor migrants, and also to help earn remotely. We intend to give young people an opportunity to get a real high-paid job suited to their strengths and abilities at home or abroad.
At the same time, we will help them find the most demanded sphere, where everyone can realize talents, learn new skills and acquire relevant knowledge. Every user at the age of 16 now does not have to work on the plantation: with Unolabo he has new wonderful opportunities and real prospects.

Education is in a crisis today. According to the UN, about 250 million students can’t assimilate the school material. Many experts are convinced that the technology of machine learning, which supposedly can turn out to be a more effective teacher, can solve this problem. However, currently AI cannot completely replace live teachers, and it is still unlikely for it to ever fully be able to. The mentoring element is also extremely important in teaching.
In higher education, there are also problems associated with lack of specialists in the most promising areas of the modern technologies development, including the developers of the very same AI. There is a shortage of both the developers themselves and the teachers, so everyone is forced to engage in self-study.
The Unolabo Skillmarket platform allows people to quickly and efficiently learn new skills, becoming highly qualified specialists in the labor market most demanded areas. We help qualified specialists not only to find customers but also to monetize the experience, helping in training newcomers. With our design, you are able to not stop the process of your self-development throughout the life with a constant income increase!

Microsoft has released a preview of the new programming language Q # for the quantum computers and a simulator for testing quantum algorithms. A new language has been created to combine the entrenched concept of programming with the development environment. But who will teach it?
Most likely, the company will need a lot of IT specialists able to understand quantum algorithms and calculations, and also will allow to improve the development itself and monitor its efficiency.
Our platform is not only designed for the purpose of finding work or specialists, but also for training. It is enough for someone to sufficiently master Q #, he will be able to train hundreds of other people through Unolabo.
We remind you that an employer has an opportunity to look into the list of each candidate skills, figuring out his competence and a level of involvement in each successful project. With this, a recruitment becomes much easier and faster than the usual system of interviews and a long probationary period. This is especially true for the new spheres.

For those who have joined us just recently, we want to once again remind about our idea and mission. Our team is aimed at helping everyone who wants to work: outsourcers, labor migrants, people with disabilities, etc. That is freelancers in the broadest sense, working both online and offline. The emphasis here made on self-development, which compensates for the education system imperfection, which is increasingly lagging behind the progress.
Not only the job seekers but also the employers will find a lot of benefits on our platform. The universities and schools do not keep up with the rapid technological development, therefore practically all the specialists of the advanced branches are self-taught. We are building a kind of "conveyor belt" where young specialists without institutes and colleges will be able to get practical skills in the new industries as soon as possible. And the employers will have an access to a global profile database of these freelancers, as well as an access to a flexible skill search system.
Another one of our priorities is to secure transactions between the job seekers and employers.
Highly qualified specialist with a good salary is a happy specialist. This is what our mission is: making people happy as they push the progress forward.

A former employee of the Elon Musk’s SpaceX told Business Insider about the "cruel" 11-hour interviews, where the best of the best are selected. According to him, each interview was interrupted immediately if the applicant’s answer did not match the template and the company's concept. There was no room for politeness, the recruiter interrupted the conversation and hurried to es**rt him out the door.
The debilitating tactics included several phone conversations and an entire 11-hour day spent on interviews with the company members, after which the list of the candidates was narrowed down to less than a half. The task of the HR department was the following: to recruit only talented and most efficient employees.
How to become qualified enough to compete for a position in companies of the SpaceX level? Unolabo knows since it launches Skillmarket where self-development is an integral part. For us, every skill with a high rating, the number of successful projects and the ability to self-development is important. But is it necessarily going to a corporation, if on our own platform it is possible to become an independent specialist not relying on anyone else?
