Las Aventuras De Miss Jacy

Perdida En El Tren

La resiliencia es la cualidad que nos ayuda a hacer frente a los obstáculos o a las decepciones sin desanimarnos. Esta cualidad se adquiere mediante la experiencia. Igual que un niño no aprenderá a caminar sin tropezar alguna vez, tampoco aprenderá a salir adelante en la vida sin sufrir algún tropiezo

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.
