>DIALEKT< Episode 5: Einkaufen in Wien (Teil 2)

Старые друзья. Размышления.
У меня есть старые друзья. Им около 50 лет. Старыми я их называю потому, что мы давно дружим. Недавно я заметила изменения в их настроении. Когда мы с ними идём в театр, обычно им не нравится спектакль. Когда мы с ними обсуждаем какой-нибудь фильм, или концерт. они говорят, что раньше эти музыканты лучше играли, а эти режиссёры лучше снимали фильмы. 
И я заметила, что стараюсь реже с ними встречаться, потому что они всегда чем-нибудь недовольны. И я заметила, что мне не легко общаться с людьми, которые всё время говорят о плохом. 
Но самое интересное в том, что мои друзья, мне кажется, не замечают того, что с ними происходит. 
И я не знаю, нужно ли мне говорить с ними об этом. Это их жизнь. И они имеют право жить и думать так как хотят.

Старые друзья. Размышления.

JAMES:  Good morning, Professor Austin, how are you doing?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Good morning, James. I am doing well. And you?
JAMES: I’m great, thank you. This is my friend Emma. She 
is thinking about applying to this college. She has a 
few questions. Would you mind telling us about the 
process, please?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Hello, Emma! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m more 
than happy to speak with you. Please stop by my office 
next week.
EMMA: It’s a pleasure to meet you, professor. Thank you so 
much for helping us.
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Don’t mention it. Hopefully, I will be able to answer 
your questions!

LANGUAGE NOTES
• The greetings good morning/good afternoon/good evening are used at different times 
of the day to greet people. “Good evening” is often used after 6 p.m. or generally when 
the sun has set.
• “Good night” is not a greeting: It is used when leaving a place or group of people. 
Thank you and good night!/Good night, and see you tomorrow.
• When people meet in the United States, it is customary for them to shake hands. A 
handshake should be firm and usually lasts for about two to three seconds — which 
allows enough time to say “Nice to meet you.”
• “Don’t mention it” is another way of saying “You’re welcome.” The phrase “You are 
welcome” is more formal. However, responses such as Don’t mention it./No problem./
Happy to help. are informal ways of responding to a thank you.

SIGNIFICADO DA PALAVRA "CADÊ" EM PORTUGUÊS

Robert, a talented but interview-anxious software developer, landed his dream job interview. He had the technical skills, but his past experiences with open-ended questions left him feeling unprepared.  To help, I, his career coach, introduced him to the power of behavioral interviewing.

We started by dissecting the job description. We identified key skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and communication.  Then, I crafted mock behavioral questions targeting those skills. For example, "Tell me about a time you debugged a complex coding error while collaborating with a team."

Next, I introduced Robert to the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).  We practiced crafting compelling responses using his past projects.  For the example question, Robert described a project with a critical bug impacting user experience. He highlighted how he collaborated with his team, broke down the issue logically, and ultimately identified the root cause, leading to a successful fix.

The coaching didn't stop there.  We role-played the interview, focusing on clear communication and confident delivery.  I encouraged Robert to use action verbs and quantify his achievements where possible.  Instead of simply saying "fixed the bug," he could say "identified and resolved a critical bug, improving application performance by 20%."

The interview day arrived, and Robert aced it!  He later told me the behavioral questions felt familiar thanks to our preparation.  By showcasing his past experiences using the STAR method, he convinced the interviewer of his skills and fit for the role.  Robert's success story is a testament to the power of behavioral interview preparation.
