Critical Interview Prep Mistakes You Can’t Afford to Make!

1. FOcusing too much on technical skills. While technical skills are essential, employers value soft skills that demonstrate your ability to work effectively in a team and contribute to the company’s success.

2. Responsed to questions are too generic.  Sure you can use the S.T.A.R. method but remember to touch the interviewers with emotions. Facts tell but stories sell. Use emotions!

Last but not least, a crucial, yet often overlooked aspect of interview preparation is aligning your values and goals with the company’s mission, vision, and values. Demonstrating this alignment effectively showcases your suitability and strengthens your candidacy.

Let’s connect to discuss how my coaching services can further support your career path.

记得告诉自己，你很棒！

British writer Bill Bryson once wrote that "London is a city of endless possibility" — and perhaps, endless traffic?

The UK capital is the most congested city in Europe, according to transport analytics company Inrix.

The company looked at data from different cities around the world, and found that drivers in London spent an average of 101 hours sitting in traffic in 2024. That's up from 99 hours in 2023, and 97 hours in 2022.

According to Inrix, these delays cost the city more than $4.8 billion a year — or about $1,200 for each of London's 4 million drivers.

Inrix says London's bad traffic congestion is caused by the "concentration of population, employment and economic activity."

But although it's Europe's most congested city for the fourth year in a row, London has improved in the global rankings. It was third in the world in 2023, but is now in fifth place globally. It is still, however, the only European city in the top five.

Istanbul has jumped to first place, up from sixth, with drivers in the Turkish city spending an average of 105 hours in traffic per year.

New York and Chicago are next on the list, followed by Mexico City in fourth place.

Inrix also calculated each city's "downtown speed" — that is, the speed at which a driver can expect to travel 1.6 kilometers in the center of the city during morning rush hour.

For each of the top five cities, the downtown speed was under 25 kilometers an hour.

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

今週(こんしゅう)は花の話(はなし)をします。🌸

花‥さくらや、マーガレット、チューリップなどの
「はな」のことです。

顔の真ん中(まんなか)にある、
「鼻(はな)」ではありませんよ。👃

日本の花といえば、そう、桜(さくら)ですね。
私も桜の花がだいすきです。

本当に、うつくしいと思います。

でも、まって下さい！
桜もきれいなんですが、
日本では梅(うめ)の花も
楽しむことができます。

台湾(たいわん)や、韓国(かんこく)、
中国(ちゅうごく)でも、梅がきれいですね。

毎年(まいとし)、
3月の中旬(ちゅうじゅん)から、
4月頃(しがつごろ)に見ることができます。

今年(ことし)の冬(ふゆ)はあたたかいため、
いつもより少し、早いみたいです。

いま、3月になったばかりですが、
一番(いちばん)きれいに見ることができます。

これを「見頃(みごろ)」といいます。
