VERSCHWENDUNG von Lebensmitteln
(A)  Etwa 88 Millionen Tonnen LEBENSMITTEL werden in der Europäischen Union jedes Jahr weggeworfen. Sie kosten die ungeheure Summe von 143 Milliarden Euro.
(B)  Das geschieht in einer  Welt mit fast 800 Millionen hungernder Menschen. 55 Millionen Menschen in der Europäischen Union können SICH jeden zweiten Tag keine warme Mahlzeit LEISTEN. 
(C)  Das Europäische Parlament möchte bis 2030 eine Situation schaffen, in der rund 50 Prozent der heute VERSCHWENDETEN Lebensmittel besser VERTEILT werden. Wie könnte man das machen?
(D)  Man könnte mit Lebensmitteln, die nicht mehr für Menschen GEEIGNET sind, zum Beispiel Tiere füttern. Man könnte das Interesse am SPENDEN von Lebensmitteln erhöhen, wenn man die HygieneVORSCHRIFTEN für diese Lebensmittel lockern würde. Man könnte Verbraucher informieren, dass viele Lebensmittel auch nach dem MINDESTHALTBARKEITSDATUM noch GENIESSBAR sind. Und schließlich gibt es Apps wie „Zu gut für die Tonne“. Sie informieren Menschen über Restaurants und Geschäfte, wo Lebensmittel billiger verkauft werden, damit sie nicht in der Mülltonne landen.

This is a short introduction podcast sumamrising what the full series of podcasts will cover:

If you ever googled "How to create a resume" or "How to write a covering letter" or "What are the top 10 most common interview questions" then you are not alone. We have all done it. And what do we learn from these searches? That there are no right answers, there are just thousands and thousands of different questions, resume formats and tips on covering letters. And you end up not knowing where to start!

Now add to this problem the fact that English might not be your first language and the role you are applying for requires you to communicate in English every day, then it is no surprise that this entire process is daunting.

I will help you change the way you think about the application process - to simplify it and to personalise it; to understand that it is a matching process where you are looking for a job that matches your ambitions and skills, and where the company in looking for people that match their role requirements.

I'll teach you a few simple techniques that will prepare you to answer almost any question in a clear and effective way. We will take you through the application process starting with the most important aspect: you, your skills, your goals; and then we will move on to how to create a brilliant resume and covering letter and how to prepare for and deliver an authentic and confident interview.

I will also give you the key phrases and grammar you need to be successful in each of those steps.
