039 - a moot point

Did you feel confident in your last interview? 

If you didn’t feel confident, your interviewer likely didn’t perceive you as confident. 

Yet, in the U.S. and many other countries, interviewers prefer confident candidates. It seems to have an intoxicating effect on them, and many of them equate it (for better or for worse) with competence. So, it’s a skill worth learning! 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress podcast to learn which groups of people struggle most with confidence in interviews. You’ll also learn how you can overcome self-doubt to feel and project confidence in an interview.  Ultimately, you'll feel better, increase your interviewer's confidence in you, and land a job offer.

How to Be Confident in an Interview

Uno de los usos menos conocidos del indefinido es el que se relaciona con el fututo. Los españoles lo usan mucho, pero los que aprende español como lengua extranjera no. Por esa razón, he decidido hacer este vídeo convertido en audio que podéis escuchar aquí o ver en YouTube en 5 minutos de español.

Te explico un uso del pretérito indefinido en el futuro que seguro que no conoces

粤读时光，看见生命中嘅光。

最近我睇到一篇有趣嘅粤语文章，
读起身琅琅上口，
我觉得好有意思，
所以想分享俾你。

牛耕田, 马食谷, 老窦揾钱仔享福; 
象行田, 马行日, 过河卒仔无退缩; 
兵杀敌, 将闪缩, 功成身退享俸禄; 
男善变, 女易哭, 贫贱夫妻难和睦; 
流水清, 死水浊, 人望高处无满足; 
冰易化, 钱难蓄, 巧妇难煲无米粥; 
水维生, 土长木, 光合作用叶变绿;
赌易学, 书难读, 赌仔何曾买大屋?
命注定, 运难卜, 三衰六旺好难捉; 
仙洒脱, 凡人俗, 犯规和尚食狗肉; 
阳寿尽, 落阴谷, 生老病死乃定局。
趁宜家，仲能郁，快乐享受要知足，
咪再成日困在屋，儿孙自有儿孙福。

呢段话真系几有道理㗎，
呢段话我最中意嘅一句话系，
趁宜家，仲能郁，快乐享受要知足，
人应该学识及时行乐，
而且应该学识知足，
知足系一种对健康生活特别有益嘅感觉，
知足并唔系叫人放弃努力，
而且学识欣赏自己已经拥有嘅一切，
学识看见拥有嘅嘢嘅珍贵性。
