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.

はい、こんにちは。今回は、ポッドキャストのシーズン２の３回目です。今月の終わりから大学の授業が始まります。今日はレッスンがなかったので、下見に行きました。「下見」とは、行き方や場所の様子を調べるために実際に行くことです。

Hello. This is episode 3 of season 2 of my podcast. My university lessons start at the end of this month. I didn't have any lessons today, so I went for a Sitami. 'Shitami’ (Preview) means actually going to the location beforehand to find out how to get there and what the place looks like.

大学は京都にあるので、大阪から電車で１時間半ぐらいです。大学に行くまでに大阪駅と京都駅を通ります。大阪駅と京都駅はいつも人がいっぱいで、とても疲れます。今年の10月から日本に観光客が入れるようになったので、外国人もたくさんいました。京都にはヨーロッパ系の観光客が多いですが、最近は東南アジア系の観光客も増えている気がします。「〜系」は人種を表します。たとえば、国籍がブラジルで親が日本人の人を日系ブラジル人といいます。大学は駅からバスで10分ぐらいでした。山の近くにあってとても静かでした。

The university is located in Kyoto, which is about an hour and a half by train from Osaka. I pass through Osaka and Kyoto stations on my way to the university. Osaka and Kyoto stations are always full of people, and walking through them is always tiring. Since October this year, tourists have been allowed into Japan, so there were many foreigners. There are many European Kei tourists in Kyoto, but recently I feel that there are more and more South-East Asian Kei tourists. ‘-Kei (-descent)' denotes ethnicity. For example, people whose nationality is Brazilian and whose parents are Japanese are called Nikkei Brazilians. (The "ni" in nikkei is the first character of Japan). The university was about 10 minutes by bus from the station. It was very quiet near the mountains.

한국어의 ‘어색하다’는
사람 사이뿐 아니라 분위기나 공기를 말할 때도 자주 써요.

“사이가 어색해요”,
“어색한 공기였어요” 같은 표현을 통해
요즘 한국어에서 자연스럽게 쓰이는 느낌을 알아볼까요?
