Do you know how to get better at anything? Athletes do. They work with a coach. 

You don’t have to try to get better at something on your own--a coach can help! Surgeon Atul Gawande says in a popular Ted Talk,  "Great coaches are your external eyes and ears, providing a more accurate picture of your reality." 

Some people seek out coaches proactively. They hire a professional coach to help with their resume, cover letter, LinkedIn Profile, and interview responses before they ever apply for a job. These people undoubtedly get jobs quicker because they hired a coach. However, the majority of people wait too long to get a coach, only seeking out help after a period of failure. 

In this Express to Impress Podcast episode, you will learn different approaches to bet better at something and the tremendous career opportunities from working with a coach. You’ll hear how others’ lives have been enriched by working with coaches. I talk about my experience working coaches in Brazil and the US. You’ll also hear a story about one of my clients - an engineer in Taiwan who enlisted my help after trying and failing to get a job for years.  You will find out what type of professional coaches exist and how they can help you. If you want to increase your English vocabulary, continue listening to the end, where you’ll hear definitions of five idioms and phrases that came up during the episode.

How to Get Better At Anything, Including Getting A Job 

1：动词，“一直到结束、到终点”的意思。
这个电影很复杂，只有看到底才能懂它讲了什么。
2：副词，用在疑问句或者带疑问代词的非疑问句中，表示“进一步探究”的意思。不能用于带“吗”的是非疑问句中。
我给他打了好几次电话了，可是一直没人接，也不知道他到底怎么回事。
3：用在疑问句或者带疑问代词的非疑问句中时，主语如果是疑问代词，“到底”只能放在主语前。
到底谁去参加比赛，大家还没决定。

有意思的例子：
1：她到底是不是我妈妈，为什么天天让我来上学😂
2：我到底为什么学习汉语😂
3：她天天问她老公：你爱不爱我？她老公每次都回答说：爱。他到底爱不爱他老婆😂
