Common Homophones (words that sound alike)

Un corvo aveva rubato un pezzo di formaggio e si era posato sul ramo di un albero per mangiarlo in tranquillità. Una volpe, che passava sotto quell’albero, lo vide e volle prendergli il formaggio. Così, gli disse che lui, il corvo, era il migliore tra gli uccelli e presto sarebbe diventato il loro Re: aveva delle piume meravigliose, un becco possente e delle belle zampette slanciate. 
«Peccato solo che tu sia muto!» aggiunse la volpe. Il corvo, pieno d’orgoglio per tutti i complimenti ricevuti, volle dimostrare alla volpe che anche lui aveva una bella voce: spalancò il becco e cominciò a cantare. 
La volpe, non appena il formaggio gli cadde dal becco, fece un gran balzo e lo afferrò con i suoi artigli.
«Caro corvo, potresti senza dubbio essere il Re degli uccelli, se solo tu avessi un po’ di cervello.»

Spesso, la verità ci acceca e ci porta a commettere delle sciocchezze.

Before you enter the boardroom or HR's office you'll meet alot of people along the way. Will you be nice and say hi? Will you smile? Or you'll be thinking of your interview most of the time forgetting others around you?

What would you like others to feel about you? What impression do you want to make? If you smile, your shoes, your nails and your clothes were to communicate - what would they say about you?

What is the outcome you are going after?

These are some questions and a lot more are awaiting for you in the middle of the podcast and more to the end too. Listen in, take notes and apply it. They are simple but effective!

If you want my private 1-1 job interview preparation meetings - schedule them now.

See you tomorrow.
