EP2: THE ART OF PERSUASION PART 1

You've landed the interview – congratulations! Now you need to convince them that you're the perfect fit. Focus on confident communication. It's not about bragging; it's about presenting yourself with clarity, authority, and a winning mindset.

First impressions matter.  Avoid the passive voice and vague statements. Instead of saying, "I could potentially contribute," say, "I'm eager to leverage my marketing expertise to expand your customer base."  Action verbs like "leverage" and "expand" showcase your proactive approach.

Back up your claims with results. Don't just say you're a team player.  Tell a story!  "In my previous role, I collaborated with a diverse team to launch a new product that boosted sales by 20%." Specific examples paint a vivid picture of your accomplishments.

Speak directly to the interviewer. Phrases like "I think" weaken your message. Instead, take ownership of your ideas. Say, "We can implement a strategy that tackles your current challenges head-on." This conveys confidence and decisiveness.

Focus on the positive. When discussing past experiences, highlight your successes. Did you overcome a challenge? Learned a new skill quickly? Share those stories! They demonstrate your adaptability and willingness to learn.

Remember, the interview is a two-way street. Tailor your language to the company culture. Research their values and communication style. If they're data-driven, use metrics and numbers. A laid-back startup might appreciate a more enthusiastic and creative approach.

Finally, don't underestimate the power of body language. Maintain eye contact, project good posture, and speak with a clear, enthusiastic tone. It all adds up to a confident presence that will leave a lasting impression.

Showcase your skills and experience, but also assess if the company culture aligns with your own communication style.  Confident communication is a win-win, helping you land the job you deserve and find a work environment where you can thrive.

Together, all of the bones in your body make up your SKELETON and the word 'FLESH' refers to muscle, fat and skin. In English, we sometimes use the concepts of 'SKELETON' and 'FLESH' metaphorically, as in the phrasal verb 'FLESH OUT'.

EL AGUACATE.

Aguacate es el nombre común con que se conoce a esta generosa planta de la familia de las Lauraceae; deriva del Náhuatl “Ahuácatl”, que significa testículo, probablemente por la forma colgante del fruto. 
A diferencia de otros países, la cocina mexicana cuenta con una de las agriculturas básicas más primigenias en el mundo, con una antigüedad que ronda los siete mil años, siendo de los primeros cultivos domesticados de los que se tienen registro además del maíz y el chile.
En México contamos con una amplia variedad de aguacates criollos, desde el aguacate pequeño y perfumado, cuya carnosidad es tan suave como mantequilla y se puede consumir con cáscara, hasta los aguacates alargados de las zonas tropicales, de gran tamaño y sabor ligeramente dulce. 
Este fruto milenario de la cultura mexicana, es uno de los ingredientes que no sólo aporta valor nutricional sino también un gran sabor a las cocinas de cualquier restaurante en México y el mundo.
El aguacate es uno de los productos más exitosos de la exportación agroalimentaria de México, por lo que se ha convertido en el principal proveedor de este maravilloso fruto en el mercado internacional. 

Llega a China, países miembros de la Unión Europea, así como a naciones con los que México no tiene tratados de libre comercio. Los principales destinos son Estados Unidos, Japón, Canadá, España, Francia, Países Bajos, ENTRE OTROS...

El día que se consume la mayor cantidad de  aguacate mexicano en Estados Unidos es durante el Super Bowl, visto por 11 millones de televidentes y quienes lo consideran parte de la botana favorita para disfrutar de este gran evento deportivo.
