Looking for a Master’s Thesis worker tomorrow at Helsinki University of Technology
Quick note for those interested in the Master’s Thesis traineeship post at Beta Labs.
I’ll be tomorrow 13 Feb at IT Recruitment Afternoon, looking for a good candidate, from 12pm to 2pm. Come have a chat!
- Venue: Helsinki University of Technology, Helsinki Finland.
- Building: Department of Industrial Engineering and management - lobby (Address: Otaniemenkatu 17). Building is number 37 on this map.
- Stand: number 1.
- I look like this:
The position is not yet open in Nokia Careers website, hope to get it done soon.
Ps. one of our beloved Beta Labs readers sent me an email today, casually mentioning “You’re Indonesian if I’m not mistaken”. Made me wonder whether I look or act like an Indonesian…
Good luck with your recruitment.
Your note is really funny. I am Indonesian (although living in Canada now) -> I don’t think you look or act like an Indonesian. :)) Make me wonder why that guy think you’re an Indonesian.

I wonder if you’d consider a Distance Learner for the thesis?
The footnote: You definitely don’t look like an Indonesian.
However, I have been classed as Indonesian and I am certain that I can pass as local in Indonesia very easily but I am not an Indonesian.
Is it me or our Indonesian brothers and Sisters are very friendly and would like to treat us as one of them even though we may have not come from Indonesia. That is very kind of them and wish everyone would treat each others like wise.

Hei Tommi, Get yourself some glasses and have a couple of Nokia stickers visible in your next pic. You’ll get some first class nerds from the HUT in no time!

Heh, I’ll do the smiley-nerd picture the next time…
Found a couple of potential candidates - but I think I’ll do some more leg work at the Dept. of Industrial Engineering and Management www.tuta.hut.fi/index.php (yeah, I know you shouldn’t hire people like yourself, but the other people from my team said this position would be an optimal one for DIEM students)
About distance learning, I’d prefer not. This works requires very close cooperation with me and the other team mates. I’d prefer sitting <30m from the recruit, because from that distance, you have 10x more communication.

I think we need a hybrid model, where the developers speak (we hope) to the beta labs community, but where you act as a facilitator - checking how things are going, making sure it all works as its supposed to, and responding where someone raises a really salient or important point, to reassure the community that we are being listened to.
Plus a requirement from the developers to read the blogs and feedback for their specific apps daily, and publish a response, acknowledging the key issues raised (if any!).
Example, there’s lots of negative feedback on the Maps 2.0 blog concerning problems on the E90. An early reply from Nokia acknowledging this and apologising would have been a definite plus for Nokia’s standing among E90 users, and helped to avoid the blog filling up with more and more complaints about this.
The Nokia Maps blog highlights the need for some sort of filtering or moderation, as there are posts there that really don’t add to the project, and some where the posters are asking questions that are answered in the FAQs. There is a case for binning those posts, as they are just noise that make it harder for both sides to keep track of the real messages.
As another example where a neutral intermediary such as yourself is needed,to address a situation where the developers have missed something important in the beta environment, is that it really would help in various ways for a much better level of documentation to be made available, for apps with some complexity like Maps 2.0, as a lot of unnecessary blogging is going on that would be avoided if the documentation was there.
Of course, we can’t expect glossy help files as though these were released products, but we need something with a lot more information than the fairly sketchy FAQs that are currently available for Map 2.0. which leave great swathes of unanswered questions.
I honestly don’t see how the beta process can work properly if testers don’t have basic info saying:
a. What the app does, to a reasonable level of detail
b. How to make it do those things - at least at an outline level.
The reality though is that we don’t have this for Maps 2.0 and so the beta process for this app is correspondingly reduced in its effectiveness.
