Episode 4: The Shadowing Technique

越来越糟'这个表达与你可能熟悉的英语表达非常相似。我在这里告诉你。

西班牙语表达

"De mal en peor" 是什么意思？

【电灯泡】
这个词有两个意思，一个是指灯，另一个是指在不合适的时间出现的人。

比如：
Lisa:  嗨，Lily,今晚我男朋友约我一起出去吃饭，你和我一起去吧。

 Lily:  额...还是算了吧，我就不要去当电灯泡了。你们两人去就好了，路上注意安全。

【diàn dēng pào 】
zhè gè cí yǒu liǎng gè yì si，yí gè shì zhǐ dēng ，lìng yí gè shì zhǐ zài bú hé shì de shí jiān chū xiàn de rén 。
bǐ rú ：
Lisa:  hi ，Lily,jīn wǎn wǒ nán péng you yuē wǒ yì qǐ chū qù chī fàn ，nǐ hé wǒ yì qǐ qù ba 。
 Lily:  ē ...hái shì suàn le ba ，wǒ jiù bú yào qù dāng diàn dēng pào le。nǐ men liǎng rén qù jiù hǎo le ，lù shàng zhù yì ān quán 。

-----------------------------------------------   
[electric bulb]

The word has two meanings. One refers to a lamp and the other refers to a person who appears at an inappropriate time.

For example:
Lisa: Hi, lily, my boyfriend asked me out to dinner tonight. Come with me.
Lily: Well Forget it. I'm not going to be a third wheel. You two just go. Be safe on the way.

Critical Interview Prep Mistakes You Can’t Afford to Make!

1. FOcusing too much on technical skills. While technical skills are essential, employers value soft skills that demonstrate your ability to work effectively in a team and contribute to the company’s success.

2. Responsed to questions are too generic.  Sure you can use the S.T.A.R. method but remember to touch the interviewers with emotions. Facts tell but stories sell. Use emotions!

Last but not least, a crucial, yet often overlooked aspect of interview preparation is aligning your values and goals with the company’s mission, vision, and values. Demonstrating this alignment effectively showcases your suitability and strengthens your candidacy.
