Simple Japanese Listening with Meg（めぐ）Smile

#4 早起（はやお）きは三文（さんもん）の徳（とく） // N3 Level

Have you wondered what is important in a job interview?


How should you speak to HR people? What skills do you illustrate best?


What if you start speaking of a wrong thing that will ‘demotivate’ an employer from hiring you?


Have you had these thoughts when preparing for a job interview?


Most people forget they have value, they stand for something, and they have a character that (if positioned properly, and I help my private students to do that), if positioned properly, you can communicate ‘in a matching’ manner.


The job interview process is a science; it takes meticulous research into the ‘unobvious traits that need to be brought up', such as pulling out your beliefs and attitudes as a'sales point’ that can potentially be the defining factor in being hired.

In today’s recording, I’ll have you sold on some ideas my CEO students, C-level managers, and vice presidents of companies told me to share with you! J Since I have direct access to these people,.

#29  Easy News / おきなわのサンゴ《Coral reefs of Okinawa》 // N4 Level /Japanese listening

"A person who’s really inspired me to do something is actually my uncle Dave, who started his own tech company about 5 years ago.He’s now turned it into a highly successful company, employing over 50 people today, which I think is a very inspirational story.

 I’ve always had an interest in anything related to technology, especially computers, and my uncle both inspired and motivated me to make the decision to study computer science in college.

I had to make this decision about 3 years ago, at which time I was at a crossroads in my life, and was at my wits end trying to decide something that I knew would affect my whole future life in a pretty short space of time. However, after getting some inspirational advice from my uncle Dave, I decided to follow in his footsteps, and study computer programming. 

The main reason I find him such an inspiration is that he started this business from scratch, while still only in his early twenties, and within only 3 years turned it into the success it is today. I watched him when he first started in this business, and how he poured his heart and soul into it ,to get the business going, and I’m always so inspired by the way he literally eat’s, sleeps and breathes the business .

 Even though his business has grown so much, he still never  sits back, and keeps working hard to keep growing and expanding the business,and always goes the extra mile, which is something that really motivates, and inspires me to keep studying hard. 

 
Thank you….."

CHISTES MEXICANOS

EL JAMON Y LOS HUEVOS.

Además de la colorida decoración en luces y adornos de papel maché con figuras y acabados referentes a las fiestas patrias (preferentemente en verde, blanco y rojo) también están los afiches con imágenes o dibujos de los personajes de la Independencia de México y no faltan quienes se personifican como los héroes de la nación. 

Además, es durante las fiestas del 15 de septiembre que la comida mexicana se luce por completo, pues deliciosos platillos tradicionales como el pozole se unen con las bebidas espirituosas de México, como el tequila, el pulque y el mezcal.

Durante el siglo XIX se dieron muchas modificaciones en los festejos del 15 de septiembre, con una marcada diferencia entre las celebraciones civiles y las oficiales; pues estas últimas (de carácter militar o religioso) se llevaban a cabo el 16.

Durante la noche del 15 de septiembre a las 23 horas, el presidente de México, emulando al cura Miguel Hidalgo, sale al balcón del Palacio Nacional y da el grito de Independencia. El público, así como el pueblo de Dolores que escuchó al padre de la nación, corea los vítores del mandatario en turno; como muestra de orgullo y patriotismo.

Cada estado/comunidad da su grito de Independencia y suceden al mismo tiempo. No hay un protocolo establecido en cuanto al discurso, pues cada ejecutivo puede modificarlo. Por lo general, la conmemoración del 15 de septiembre se aprovecha para transmitir las intenciones del gobierno en turno al pueblo de México.
