Episode 2 : Why is reading important for students? 

Ayer 10 y hoy 11 de julio trascurren las fiestas patronales del pueblo donde vivo. Ahora se llaman “Fiestas Mayores” pero hace pocas décadas se llamaban patronales porque se celebran en honor al patrón de cada población. El patrón no es un jefe o un empresario, ni un narcotraficante no, usamos la acepción religiosa.

This is a step-by-step guide to shine during interviews with active listening:

Before the Interview:

Research: Understanding the company culture and the specific role helps you anticipate questions and tailor your responses. This demonstrates focus and genuine interest.
During the Interview:

Minimize Distractions: Silence your phone, arrive early to avoid last-minute jitters, and focus solely on the interviewer.

Power of Presence: Maintain eye contact (not staring) and an open posture that conveys attentiveness.

Listen Verbally and Nonverbally: Pay close attention to the interviewer's words, tone, and body language. A stressed tone might indicate a challenging aspect of the job, while positive body language reflects their enthusiasm.

Engage with Nonverbal Cues:  Use subtle nods and smiles to show you're following along. Leaning in slightly demonstrates genuine interest.

The Art of the Pause: Don't jump in to fill silences. Give the interviewer time to complete their thoughts and gauge their reaction to your responses.

Clarify and Confirm:  When unsure, politely ask clarifying questions. This shows you're engaged and want to understand their expectations clearly.

Paraphrase and Summarize: Briefly restate key points in your own words. This demonstrates comprehension and allows the interviewer to correct any misunderstandings.

Active Listening in Action:  Throughout the interview, weave active listening techniques into your responses.  For example, "That sounds like a very fast-paced environment.  Can you tell me more about the team dynamic?"

After the Interview:

Thank You Note: Reiterate your interest in the role and mention a specific detail gleaned through active listening. This shows you were truly engaged and attentive.
By actively listening, you demonstrate not only strong communication skills but also genuine interest in the company and the role. This sets you apart from other candidates and increases your chances of landing your dream job!
