As humans, we are amazing story tellers. Sometimes that skill is an asset, or something that offers benefits. And sometimes it's a liability, or something that comes at a cost to us, or to others. When we feel stuck/blocked/like we're moving backwards in our language learning journey - we often tell ourselves stories. We tell ourselves stories about how we got stuck, why we are blocked, and perhaps, how and when the challenges began. And then - we take actions because of those stories. So it helps to look at the stories we tell - about ourselves and our learning. In this podcast, I explore these ideas. I hope it gets you thinking!

How To Introduce Yourself In A Job Interview And Win The Attention Of The Hiring Manager? Often times it's hard for us to open up to others (even ourselves), therefore there is a simple technique you can use that I give in this podcast. It has 3 steps and it will be described in detail. Here are some steps you can use to help you to apply the method I am describing: 1. Write about all your qualities that are required for the job. 2. Mention your personal attributes, but do so without sounding arrogant by using phrases such as “I believe that…”, “I think that…” or “I consider myself to be a…” 3. Your self introduction must be accurate and honest. Last but not least - 4. Keep it short and simple. Don’t try to show off your knowledge of vocabulary or grammar. The interviewer is interested in whether you can do the job, not what you know about English :) These simple steps can potentially allow you to impress the interviewer and can give you an advantage over other candidates that haven't though it thoroughly.
