I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Listening Expert Cara Leopold with Leo Listening. This time, we talk about how to get used to different accents and speaking speeds and motivate yourself to learn a language for work or school even if you don't want to. You'll also learn what to do if your language learning has stalled, bad habits language learners pick up when learning a language in a traditional classroom setting, reductions and linking, and how to improve your English skills by joining a movie club. Here are a couple of excerpts from our conversation: "The irony is that it's usually the words that you already know that cause the most problems." "People resent it (the English language), and I understand that because it's imposed on a lot of people, and obviously, we can't expect everyone to be excited about learning it. So I totally understand those feelings, which are valid. I think then, if you can't get excited about English, what can you get excited about? What interests you, in general?"

In this podcast we'll look into some answers to 3 common questions:

1. How to answer: ‘Tell me a bit about yourself.’

2. How to answer: ‘What are your weaknesses?’

3. How to answer: ‘Describe a time you faced a challenge and what steps you took to overcome it.’

Before you'll go further - how would you do it yourself? What will your thinking be while answering?

Question One: The interviewer typically isn’t asking you about your weekend here. Take this opportunity to capture and distill the most important things they need to know about you as an employee—your most impactful job, the skills you’d most like to highlight, as well as some of the previous projects you feel showcase your abilities are all great options.

Question Two: Avoid responding with something that’s not genuine and communicates inauthenticity—saying something like ‘I work too hard!’ doesn’t come across well. Everyone has weaknesses—it’s how we manage them that’s important and expressing what you’ve already got underway to alter it is the key.

QUestion Three: This demands self-reflection and self-examination, focusing on problem solving skills and your attitude to challenges, conflict resolution and how you cope under pressure. Work through the S.T.A.R method if you get a little stuck: first, contextualise the situation for your interviewee by presenting the challenge in a professional manner and explain how it arose in the first place, then explain a little about where you fell in the group in relation to the task at hand.

Use some ideas aboe and also prepare your answers as well. At the end of the day - they are 'buying' your personality, not so much how you answer those questions so don't be shy being yourself, it countrs massively!

Job Interview Preparation. Tip 10. How to answer 3 common questions?

A businessman in China has announced that his workers can take days off if they're not in a good mood.

It has been called "unhappiness leave." And Yu Donglai, who is the founder of a supermarket chain called Pang Dong Lai, said his employees can use 10 days of this leave each year.

"I want every staff member to have freedom. Everyone has times when they're not happy, so if you're not happy, do not come to work," Yu said earlier this year.

He added that shop managers cannot deny workers this leave if they ask for it.

This leave is in addition to the days off that the company's employees already have.

According to the South China Morning Post, Pang Dong Lai workers get between 30 and 40 days of leave each year, as well as five days off during New Year. Their working days are seven hours long, and employees don't work on weekends.

Yu said of his company: "We do not want to be big. We want our employees to have a healthy and relaxed life, so that the company will too."

The average monthly salary at Pang Dong Lai is about $970, which is much higher than the average in China for workers in similar jobs.

Yu has 13 shops in Henan province, and they have become known for their customer service. He's known as a good boss in a country where many workers are said to be feeling burned out at work.
