☕ Diálogo: El Café Colombiano es el Mejor

Carlos: Sofía, dime la verdad… ¿crees que hay un café mejor que el colombiano?

Sofía: ¡Ni pensarlo! El café colombiano es el mejor del mundo.

Carlos: Exactamente. Su aroma, su sabor, su calidad… nada lo supera.

Sofía: Y no es solo porque seamos de Colombia, ¡es porque es un hecho!

Carlos: Jajaja, sí. Pero en serio, ¿sabes qué lo hace tan especial?

Sofía: Creo que es por la altitud y el clima de las montañas donde se cultiva.

Carlos: ¡Exacto! La combinación del suelo volcánico y el clima perfecto le da ese sabor único.

Sofía: Además, aquí todo es cosechado a mano. No como en otros países donde usan máquinas.

Carlos: Eso hace una gran diferencia. La selección es mucho más cuidadosa.

Sofía: ¿Y qué me dices del proceso de secado? Es completamente natural.

Carlos: ¡Sí! El sol hace su magia y eso mejora el aroma y el sabor del grano.

Sofía: En cambio, hay cafés de otros países que tienen un sabor más amargo.

Carlos: Claro, porque a veces los tuestan demasiado o no seleccionan bien los granos.

Sofía: Y aquí tenemos tantas variedades… como el café suave de Nariño o el más intenso de Huila.

Carlos: Cada región tiene su toque especial, por eso es tan famoso en todo el mundo.

Sofía: De hecho, el café colombiano es el favorito en Europa y Asia.

Carlos: ¡Por supuesto! Hasta los baristas internacionales lo prefieren.

Sofía: ¿Sabes qué? Ahora me dieron ganas de un buen tinto.

Carlos: ¡Jajaja! Vamos por uno… pero que sea 100% colombiano, nada de café instantáneo.

Sofía: ¡Obvio! Solo lo mejor.

In today's podcast, I discuss how to build rapport during a job interview!

Active Listening: Demonstrate genuine interest in what the interviewer is saying by actively listening to their questions and comments. Maintain eye contact, nod occasionally, and respond thoughtfully to show that you value their input.

Mirror Body Language: Subtly mirror the body language of the interviewer to establish rapport on a subconscious level. This doesn't mean copying their every move, but rather mirroring their posture and gestures to create a sense of harmony and understanding.

Find Common Ground: Look for shared interests, experiences, or values that you can connect with the interviewer on. This could be anything from a similar educational background to a shared passion for a particular industry trend. Bringing up these commonalities can help build rapport and foster a sense of camaraderie.

Ask Thoughtful Questions: Show genuine curiosity about the company, the role, and the interviewer's experiences by asking thoughtful questions. This demonstrates that you're engaged in the conversation and eager to learn more, which can help build rapport and leave a positive impression.

Share Personal Stories (Strategically): When appropriate, share relevant personal anecdotes or experiences that showcase your skills, values, and personality. This can help humanize you in the eyes of the interviewer and create a more meaningful connection. However, be mindful of oversharing or veering off-topic, as this can detract from your professionalism.

How to build rapport during a job interview: Episode 62

Passengers flying on some routes could have to spend almost $80 more to help European airlines pay for sustainable fuels.

According to European Union (EU) rules, airlines will have to use more sustainable fuel starting in January. Two percent of the fuel they use will have to be sustainable in 2025, but that will increase to 6% in 2030 and 70% in 2050.

This is part of the EU's plan to reduce carbon emissions, with the airline industry said to produce 2% of the world's carbon emissions.

However, sustainable fuels are much more expensive than normal jet fuel, and German airline Lufthansa has announced that travelers will have to pay more for flights leaving on or after January 1, 2025.

Lufthansa said it spends billions every year on new technologies, and has been working to help make flying more sustainable. It added that it has also supported research into global weather and climate, but that it can't pay for sustainable fuels without help from customers.

Passengers will have to pay extra on any flight leaving from any EU country, as well as from Norway, Switzerland and the UK.

Any flights booked for 2025 from now on will include the extra cost, and customers flying on any Lufthansa-operated airline will have to pay. The Lufthansa group also operates Eurowings, Austrian Airlines, Swiss Air, Brussels Airlines and Lufthansa City Airlines.

People taking short-haul flights in economy class may only need to pay about $5 more, according to Reuters, while those flying long-haul in first class could pay almost $80.

Many other airlines have said they won't be increasing prices, but they want governments to do more to help them.
