I progetti segreti dell'avveniristico sottomarino Akes x3 sono stati rubati. Chi può essere stato? Un orecchino trovato sul luogo del crimine potrebbe essere un indizio decisivo per la soluzione del caso. O forse no...  Come sempre scrivete il nome del colpevole nei commenti e spiegate perchè pensate che quel personaggio sia responsabile del crimine.

Le langage texto

Hoy me ha venido a la mente una escena que me ocurrió hace poco más de un año, quizás bastante más porque con la pandemia, el concepto del tiempo lo tenemos un poco nubloso. Resultó que cuando una vieja amiga valenciana me visitó a casa, al observar una foto mía, de hará poco más de tres años, que estaba en la puerta de la nevera, me dijo: “¡qué diferente estás en esa foto! no parece que seas tú”. Hoy, al abrir la nevera y volverla a ver, la voz de ella ha resonado en mis tímpanos y honestamente, por más que miro esa foto no puedo ver “eso” tan peculiar que ella vio de diferente en mí y que yo soy tan obtuso de seguir sin poder verlo.

Ep12 Не судьба (waiting for better times)


Acing a job interview goes beyond showcasing your skills and experience. It's about persuasion – convincing the interviewer you're the perfect fit. Here are three key techniques to transform your interview from good to great:

1. The Power of Storytelling: Facts and figures are important, but stories resonate. Weave a compelling narrative about a time you faced a challenge in a previous role.  Describe your thought process, actions taken, and the positive outcome. This not only highlights your skills but also demonstrates your problem-solving abilities and impact.

2. The "Why" Factor:  Don't just explain what you can do; connect it to the company's mission. Research the company's values and goals. During your interview, explain why their vision aligns with your own aspirations. This showcases your genuine interest and how you'd contribute to their success.

3. Anticipation is Key:  Prepare for their questions, but also anticipate potential objections about your experience or qualifications.  For example, if you lack direct experience in a specific area, highlight transferable skills or relevant coursework.  Have data or references ready to back up your claims, demonstrating your initiative and preparedness.

By mastering these techniques, you'll move from simply answering questions to shaping the narrative of the interview. You'll showcase your passion, problem-solving skills, and alignment with the company, ultimately persuading them that you're the ideal candidate for the job. Remember, a successful interview is a two-way street. Let your enthusiasm and persuasive communication shine through, and you'll be well on your way to landing your dream job.
