The Step Pyramid of Djoser Part 2. 

D

When finally completed, the Step Pyramid rose 62 meters high and was the tallest structure of its time. The complex in which it was built was the size of a city in ancient Egypt and included a temple, courtyards, shrines, and living quarters for the priests. It covered a region of 16 hectares and was surrounded by a wall 10.5 meters high. The wall had 13 false doors cut into it with only one true entrance cut into the south-east corner; the entire wall was then ringed by a trench 750 meters long and 40 meters wide. The false doors and the trench were incorporated into the complex to discourage unwanted visitors. If someone wished to enter, he or she would have needed to know in advance how to find the location of the true opening in the wall. Djoser was so proud of his accomplishment that he broke the tradition of having only his own name on the monument and had Imhotep’s name carved on it as well.

E

The burial chamber of the tomb, where the king’s body was laid to rest, was dug beneath the base of the pyramid, surrounded by a vast maze of long tunnels that had rooms off them to discourage robbers. One of the most mysterious discoveries found inside the pyramid was a large number of stone vessels. Over 40,000 of these vessels, of various forms and shapes, were discovered in storerooms off the pyramid’s underground passages. They are inscribed with the names of rulers from the First and Second Dynasties of Egypt and made from different kinds of stone.

In a perfect world, interviewers would give you feedback on the spot and contact you after your interview with their decision and advice. Unfortunately, this is not likely to happen, so it’s up to you to ask for feedback. In this episode, you’ll learn how to ask for feedback in an interview tactfully and effectively. 

People often don't ask for feedback in an interview for many reasons. Perhaps they don't know they can ask for it. Maybe they assume they won't get an honest answer. Or, a candidate might fear it is inappropriate to ask for feedback in an interview. 

Asking for feedback in an interview is not only appropriate, but it is also an excellent growth opportunity and presents a chance to clarify misunderstandings and land a job. 

While we all know that the best talkers do not always make the best employees, organizational psychologist Adam Grant points out, “Job interviews favor candidates who are the best talkers.” So, in this episode, you'll get a list of 11 common communication mistakes in an interview that you can share with your mock interviewer. You'll also get four suggestions on how you can ask for feedback in an interview.

The episode concludes with a list of definitions for idioms and phrases for those who want to build their English vocabulary.
