SWE30 I almost died in a car crash while sleeping

Neste episódio, eu e Martín, professor de Espanhol do México, trocamos impressões sobre o movimento surrealista no Brasil e no México. Citando artistas modernistas e surrealistas como a brasileira Tarsila do Amaral, a mexicana Frida Kahlo e a espanhola radicada no México Remedios Varo, traçamos diferenças e similaridades, tudo isso enquanto também fazemos um intercâmbio linguístico: Português-Espanhol! :)

First and foremost, research the company thoroughly, familiarize yourself with its values, goals, and recent developments. Understanding the company's culture and industry trends can help you tailor your responses during the interview, demonstrating your genuine interest and enthusiasm.

Practice your responses to common interview questions, but don't memorize them verbatim. Instead, focus on conveying your experiences, skills, and achievements in a clear and concise manner. Practice active listening skills, allowing the interviewer to finish their questions before formulating your responses. This demonstrates respect and attentiveness, qualities highly valued in the business world.

When discussing your qualifications and experiences, use specific examples to illustrate your points. Quantify your achievements whenever possible, highlighting the impact you've had in previous roles. Employ the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your responses, ensuring clarity and coherence.

Reframing anxiety as excitement can be empowering. Instead of dwelling on potential mistakes or shortcomings, focus on the opportunity to showcase your skills and personality. Visualize success, envisioning yourself confidently answering questions and building rapport with the interviewer.

Mindfulness techniques can also be effective in managing interview anxiety. Practice deep breathing exercises to calm your nerves and center your focus. Remind yourself that it's okay to feel nervous – it's a sign that you care about the outcome. Embrace the adrenaline rush as a source of energy to fuel your performance.

After the interview, take time to reflect on your performance. Identify areas of strength and areas for improvement, using feedback to refine your interview skills for future opportunities. Regardless of the outcome, view each interview as a learning experience, building your confidence and resilience with each interaction.

The Step Pyramid of Djoser Part 2. 

D

When finally completed, the Step Pyramid rose 62 meters high and was the tallest structure of its time. The complex in which it was built was the size of a city in ancient Egypt and included a temple, courtyards, shrines, and living quarters for the priests. It covered a region of 16 hectares and was surrounded by a wall 10.5 meters high. The wall had 13 false doors cut into it with only one true entrance cut into the south-east corner; the entire wall was then ringed by a trench 750 meters long and 40 meters wide. The false doors and the trench were incorporated into the complex to discourage unwanted visitors. If someone wished to enter, he or she would have needed to know in advance how to find the location of the true opening in the wall. Djoser was so proud of his accomplishment that he broke the tradition of having only his own name on the monument and had Imhotep’s name carved on it as well.

E

The burial chamber of the tomb, where the king’s body was laid to rest, was dug beneath the base of the pyramid, surrounded by a vast maze of long tunnels that had rooms off them to discourage robbers. One of the most mysterious discoveries found inside the pyramid was a large number of stone vessels. Over 40,000 of these vessels, of various forms and shapes, were discovered in storerooms off the pyramid’s underground passages. They are inscribed with the names of rulers from the First and Second Dynasties of Egypt and made from different kinds of stone.
