Omar Asali isn't keen on hiring smooth talkers. I'm hiring them typically because I need certain tasks and certain jobs done." At such a large company, Asali isn't always involved in every single hiring decision. Asali isn't the only interviewer who asks questions that probe at people's self-awareness and ego control.

Morning interviews may yield higher scores due to interviewer bias, research shows. If you get to choose when to schedule a job interview, you might want to grab a coffee and go for a morning slot.

Democrats ended up cleaning up in the Clinton districts and then padding their majority in the Trump districts in 2018. A majority of the Trump/House Democratic districts have a median household income of less than $65,000, which is also below the national median of $78,000. For Republicans, Trump has shifted their coalition to include more working-class voters and voters of color. The targets include some Trump seats that were not on this year’s battlefield, like Michigan’s 4th District, represented by GOP Rep. Bill Huizenga. Republicans, meanwhile, will try to ensure that Trump voters become reliable GOP voters, and some Republicans acknowledged those voters are not in their camp yet.

The Israel Police arrested the suspects in October, a group of seven Israelis living in Haifa, northern Israel, representing one alleged cell. Like most of the other Israelis arrested on charges of spying for Iran, Nisanov had immigrated to Israel.

A federal court struck down a rule requiring Nasdaq-listed companies to disclose board diversity. Legal experts say the ruling won't likely impact Goldman Sachs' board diversity mandate. Since 2020, the investment bank has only helped take public clients with diverse boards. AdvertisementIn 2020, David Solomon, CEO of Goldman Sachs, a top underwriter of initial public offerings, announced that the bank would start requiring the clients it helps take public to have at least one diverse board member. It has also tasked one of its rising stars with a new role helping corporate clients find diverse board members.

Saudi Arabia is on a mission to diversify its economy as part of Saudi Vision 2030. But, according to human rights groups, a Saudi World Cup in 2034 will come at a cost. Saudi Arabia, under MBS today, has crossed that red line.”CNN has reached out to Saudi Arabia for comment. Our journey started in 2016, not because of the World Cup bid,” Albalawi told Reuters. Saudi Arabian fans cheer before the World Cup match between Saudi Arabia and Mexico at the Lusail Stadium on November 30, 2022.

In 10 years — give or take six months — the 2034 men’s World Cup will be played in Saudi Arabia. “Fundamental human-rights reforms are urgently required in Saudi Arabia, or the 2034 World Cup will be inevitably tarnished by exploitation, discrimination and repression.”Why will the Saudi bid stand unopposed? Instead, they will target the 2026 Women’s Asian Cup and the Club World Cup three years later. Sport has become one of Vision 2030’s pillars — and the 2034 World Cup will be its crowning glory. “We cannot say that Saudi Arabia is a ‘medium risk’ country, given that it has become a pure police state,” said Lina, ahead of Saudi Arabia being confirmed as host.

Zelenskyy rejected US pressure to lower the draft age from 25 to 18. AdvertisementUkraine's President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has rejected US calls to lower its military recruitment age to 18 to help increase the number of soldiers fighting against Russia. "We must not compensate the lack of equipment and training with the youth of soldiers," Zelenskyy said in a post on X on Monday. Related Video Zelenskyy says Ukraine will lose the war without help from the US"The priority should be providing missiles and lowering Russia's military potential, not Ukraine's draft age," continued the post. Zelenskyy previously resisted the idea in November when an anonymous US administration official told reporters that reducing the draft age would help Ukraine keep up with Russia's military.

Omnicom and Interpublic Group plan a $13.25 billion merger that would create the world's largest ad-agency company. Industry insiders say the deal reflects an ad sector under threat from Big Tech and AI. Being big matters as the industry wrestles with disruption from the might of Big Tech players and the advent of artificial intelligence. The $13.25 billion all-stock deal would merge Omnicom's creative and media-buying agencies, such as BBDO and Omnicom Media Group, with IPG's McCann Worldgroup and Mediabrands. The research firm Forrester said last year that the rise of automation could lead to the loss of 33,000 jobs within ad agencies by 2030.

"Just two-and-a-half years ago, everyone was saying, 'We need to hire coders,'" Petzold tells CNBC Make It. "I was even talking to my own children about, 'Oh, maybe we need to go the crowd coding route,'" he jokes. To be sure, having up-to-date digital skills is important for workers across industries and career levels, Petzold says. "If you're in marketing, or if you're in a warehouse, you need to understand technology." But because companies can train workers on learning developing tech to serve their business, Petzold says leaders are most interested in hiring people with a different set of skills.

It added that Western military support remains vital to Ukraine's war effort. Russia will struggle to replace the increasing numbers of troops lost to death and injury on the frontline if the West continues to back Ukraine, a US think tank said. But Russia can't both replace its troops lost in Ukraine, and solve its workforce crisis, said the ISW. AdvertisementPresident-elect Donald Trump has pledged to bring peace to Ukraine and has been critical of US support for Ukraine. "The continued, regular provision of Western military assistance to Ukraine remains crucial to Ukraine's ability to continue defending against Russian offensive operations and inflicting unsustainable losses on the Russian military in 2025," the ISW said.

The University of Michigan, one of higher education’s staunchest proponents of diversity, equity and inclusion plans, is weighing changes to its own program as colleges across the country brace for the second presidency of Donald J. Trump and a Republican assault on such initiatives in government and academia. Regents overseeing the university said in interviews that they expected the board to seek limits on so-called diversity statements in hiring and promotion decisions. The changes under consideration would make Michigan one of the first selective public universities to rethink D.E.I. Michigan’s state constitution provides regents ultimate control over the university’s finances as well as general oversight of the school. But early discussions between the regents and other university officials have sparked intense pushback on Michigan’s campus in recent days.

CNN —Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved a record-breaking defense budget, setting aside a staggering third of the government’s total spending as the war in Ukraine drains resources from both sides nearly three years on. The budget for 2025, which was published Sunday, allocates about $126 billion (13.5 trillion rubles) to national defense – amounting to 32.5% of government spending. The defense budget is about $28 billion (three trillion rubles) higher than the previous record set this year. The new three-year budget forecasts a slight reduction in military spending for 2026 and 2027. The North Korean troops may help Russia’s efforts for some time – but the material losses could be harder to make up for.
