Episode 7: relaxing meditation (in Eng+body parts in Ukr)

I've used a voice-to-text transcription for you (it may not be grammatically correct). I hope you enjoy reading and listening, enjoy :)

Hi, I'm Anatoly here and today I'd like to talk about vague language in an interview. 

So what is vague language? 

When you're trying to communicate something to an interviewer and you use vague terms like I'd like to help the company achieve its goals, I like this industry overall. Or this position is very exciting. 

Can you hear that there's no specificity when it comes to showing exactly that you've thought about an issue, showing the recruiter that you've gone through their website, you've looked at their products, you've considered their mission and vision and maybe you've seen their market share or the size of the company or if you've dug a little deeper. 

Maybe you've seen some reviews from people who work there, like on Glassdoor, right? 

Because you want to come into an interview from the perspective of being an employee. What does that mean? It's knowing enough so that when they're communicating with you, they feel like you're one of them.

And when they feel that you are one of them, what happens? They start to, well, it starts to diminish the doubt in them or they start to have less and less doubt about you because they are like, well, he or she is one of us. They communicate as if they know exactly who we are or they use the vocabulary that we use or they are aligned with our mission.

Enjoy the rest of the podcast and let me know how valuable it is to you.

How To Destroy Your Chances of Being Hired In A Job Interview With Vague Language?

EL PALACIO NACIONAL DE MÉXICO.

Construido sobre las ruinas de las Nuevas Casas de Moctezuma Xocoyotzin, Palacio Nacional ha sido la sede del poder y de la soberanía del pueblo mexicano desde el siglo XVI. Dentro de sus muros han habitado y trabajado grandes personajes de la historia nacional, desde virreyes, emperadores y presidentes, como el famoso conde de Revillagigedo, Agustín de Iturbide, Benito Juárez y Porfirio Díaz, hasta importantes figuras de la literatura universal, como Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Este recinto no solamente ha sido el corazón, sino también fiel testigo y partícipe del devenir de nuestro país.

Hoy en día, este inigualable recinto alberga al poder ejecutivo y a la Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público, y, al mismo tiempo, abre sus puertas al público para conocer los murales de Diego Rivera, sus impresionantes jardines, dos museos, escalinatas decimonónicas, fondos históricos y un extraordinario patio central en el que se llevan a cabo algunas de las ceremonias cívicas de mayor relevancia.   

Incluso desde la era previa a la llegada de los españoles, se tienen noticias de zonas que estaban destinadas a resguardar y exhibir todo tipo de especies animales y vegetales dentro del perímetro de lo que hoy es Palacio Nacional. Si bien, estos espacios fueron destruidos durante la Conquista, la importancia y el deseo de poseer un jardín dentro del recinto político más relevante de México no se perdieron de vista. En el presente, es posible visitar la nueva versión de los Jardines de Palacio, en donde se conservan diversas especies vegetales, tanto nacionales como internacionales, entre los cuales se destacan el maguey, agave azul, nopales, cazahuate, árbol de las manitas e imponentes ahuehuetes.

EL PALACIO NACIONAL DE MÉXICO.

When we talk about "screen time," we're often thinking about the effect that time spent on devices has on young people.

But what about the effect that those screens have on our eyes?

Whether you're using Instagram or Microsoft Excel, experts say that spending a lot of time looking at a screen isn't good for you.

But if you have to use a computer for work, what can you do to stay healthy?

Many eye experts say you should follow the "20-20-20 rule." This means taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away — that's about 6 meters.

This gives your eyes a break and makes them change their focus from the screen that's near to you, to something that's farther away.

Make sure the screen is the right brightness, too. A screen that's too bright or too dark will make you strain your eyes. But your device can help you with this.

The idea is to reduce the amount of blue light that your eyes are getting, something that "night mode" on your device does. And some companies now sell blue light glasses that can help.

Sitting the right distance from the screen is also a good idea: at least 50 centimeters away is often given as a suggestion.

If you find you're moving close to the screen and straining your eyes to see, you could try making the fonts on your screen larger.

And don't forget to blink! Blinking stops your eyes from getting dry and it can also help to reduce eye strain.
