Hyvää joulukuun ensimmäistä päivää! Tänään voi avata joulukalenterin ensimmäisen luukun ja lähtölaskenta alkaa kohti jouluaattoa. Suomessa vietetään joulua jouluaattona eli 24.12. 

Tässä jaksossa puhun joulusta ja joulun perinteistä Suomessa sekä omista kokemuksistani. 
Kuvassa joulutorttuja.

Suomea for you

19. jakso: Joulun perinteet Suomessa 

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.

How to create an awesome, personal, effective Job Application Strategy

قَرَارَات الحَيَاة غَالِبًا بِتْشَكِّل صُورِة المُسْتَقْبَل.
وكِل قَرَار بْيِحْمِل عَوَاقِب, سوَاءًا كَان لَفَتْرَة قَصِيرَة أو طَوِيلِة.
القَرَارَات الصَعْبِة بِتْقَوِي وبِتْزِيد صَلَابِة الشَخْصِيِة.
بس بَعض القَرَارَات بْتِطَلَّب تَضْحِيِة بَس مُمْكِن تْأَدِّي للنُمُو.
مُوَازَنِة المَنْطِق و المَشَاعِر هي مُفْتَاح أَخْد القَرَارَات الصَحِيحَة. 
ومو عَيب لو الإِنْسَان طَلَب نَصَائِح مِن أَشْخَاص عِنْدهُم خِبْرَة أَكْبَر.
عَلَى كُلِّ, كِل قَرَار, صْغِير أو كْبِير, بِيسَاهِم فِي تَطْوِير النَفْس
Life decisions mostly shape the future's image.
every decision carries consequences, it was either for a short or a long period.
The difficult decisions strengthen and increase the personality toughness.
But some decisions demand sacrifice but they may lead to growth.
Balancing the logic and the emotions are the key for making the correct decisions.
and it’s not a shame if the person requested advice from people who have more experience.
However, every decision, small or big, contributes to self improvement.
