请假

Oh man, it's a real trip how some folks think they're all high and mighty in English just 'cause they've crammed a bunch of fancy words. But let me tell ya, knowing a bunch of bombastic vocabulary doesn't automatically make you advanced. It's like putting on a flashy outfit but not knowing how to dance, right? Instead of getting all hung up on being "advanced," it's way more crucial to be well-spoken and really nail the level you're at. Master that foundation, and then build on it. That's where the real growth happens, my friend.

LEARN BY LISTENING

You're NOT As Advanced As You Think!

Are you looking for a job? Are you wondering why you aren't getting interviews? 

Before you hire someone to write or edit your resume, you'll want to listen to this episode!

I'll explain why I advise you to write your own resume, and of course, you'll get resume writing tips. 

Even the most qualified professionals won't get invited for interviews if they aren't familiar with the modern recruiting process. We'll explore applicant tracking systems and how to write your resume in a way that ensures a human will see it.

Why You Should Write Your Own Resume

"Not all heroes wear capes."

This is a phrase that's often used online to talk about normal people who do amazing things.

They don't need a cape — like Superman — to do something amazing.

But here's a hero who not only didn't wear a cape — he didn't have a name either.

Or at least, he kept his name a secret.

This is the story of a Filipino man in Japan who saved a young boy from the sea in Fukuoka city.

A 6-year-old boy was at Hakozaki pier with his family when he fell about 2 meters down into the water below. His family didn't notice at first that he had fallen, but the Filipino man did.

He was fishing nearby, and jumped into the sea to keep the boy safe while they waited to be helped out of the water.

The 6-year-old was not wearing a life jacket, and the coast guard said if the man had not jumped in, the boy could have been in trouble.

The Filipino man, who is 26 and lives in Fukuoka, gave his details to the coast guard afterward. But when the family asked for his name and his contact information, he declined and went home.

Some reports said he replied that he was not worth identifying.

SoraNews24 said the man replied in Japanese: "I'm not important enough for people to need to be concerned about my name."

The website said this is a phrase that is more likely to be used in action movies or manga, perhaps by a hero who has just saved the day.

The Filipino man was not hurt, while the boy was taken to hospital.
