Le Monde Magique des Mots

La Journée Extraordinaire de Léo le Chat

Robert, a talented but interview-anxious software developer, landed his dream job interview. He had the technical skills, but his past experiences with open-ended questions left him feeling unprepared.  To help, I, his career coach, introduced him to the power of behavioral interviewing.

We started by dissecting the job description. We identified key skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and communication.  Then, I crafted mock behavioral questions targeting those skills. For example, "Tell me about a time you debugged a complex coding error while collaborating with a team."

Next, I introduced Robert to the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).  We practiced crafting compelling responses using his past projects.  For the example question, Robert described a project with a critical bug impacting user experience. He highlighted how he collaborated with his team, broke down the issue logically, and ultimately identified the root cause, leading to a successful fix.

The coaching didn't stop there.  We role-played the interview, focusing on clear communication and confident delivery.  I encouraged Robert to use action verbs and quantify his achievements where possible.  Instead of simply saying "fixed the bug," he could say "identified and resolved a critical bug, improving application performance by 20%."

The interview day arrived, and Robert aced it!  He later told me the behavioral questions felt familiar thanks to our preparation.  By showcasing his past experiences using the STAR method, he convinced the interviewer of his skills and fit for the role.  Robert's success story is a testament to the power of behavioral interview preparation.

How I coached a software developer to get the job - Episode 70

In Episode 71, we explore the emotional undercurrents that often go unnoticed but heavily impact our ability to learn a language — insecurity, guilt, unworthiness, tension, and those jittery feelings that creep in when we're learning something difficult.

I gently walk you through the importance of first acknowledging, accepting, and validating your emotions. Why is this important? Because what we resist emotionally tends to persist. And when left unexamined, these emotions become silent saboteurs to your learning journey.

Supported by research in neuroscience and psychology, I explain how emotional tension activates the brain’s stress response, impairing memory and disrupting attention. But when we recognize these emotions as valid signals — not flaws — we begin the process of healing and learning at the same time.

I share tools rooted in cognitive reappraisal (Brooks, 2014) and self-compassion science, encouraging you to embrace your learning pace, your imperfections, and your worthiness to grow. We talk about how language learning isn’t just about fluency — it’s about coming home to yourself.

This episode is a reminder that you are allowed to move slowly, to feel deeply, and still make meaningful progress. In the presence of your most difficult emotions, you are still a learner with purpose — and that is a beautiful thing.

Until next time, I wish you inspired, grounded, and gentle learning. 🌱
