Una COLOMBIANA en Europa - ENTREVISTA con Natalia Naranjo (Parte 1)

This is a step-by-step guide to shine during interviews with active listening:

Before the Interview:

Research: Understanding the company culture and the specific role helps you anticipate questions and tailor your responses. This demonstrates focus and genuine interest.
During the Interview:

Minimize Distractions: Silence your phone, arrive early to avoid last-minute jitters, and focus solely on the interviewer.

Power of Presence: Maintain eye contact (not staring) and an open posture that conveys attentiveness.

Listen Verbally and Nonverbally: Pay close attention to the interviewer's words, tone, and body language. A stressed tone might indicate a challenging aspect of the job, while positive body language reflects their enthusiasm.

Engage with Nonverbal Cues:  Use subtle nods and smiles to show you're following along. Leaning in slightly demonstrates genuine interest.

The Art of the Pause: Don't jump in to fill silences. Give the interviewer time to complete their thoughts and gauge their reaction to your responses.

Clarify and Confirm:  When unsure, politely ask clarifying questions. This shows you're engaged and want to understand their expectations clearly.

Paraphrase and Summarize: Briefly restate key points in your own words. This demonstrates comprehension and allows the interviewer to correct any misunderstandings.

Active Listening in Action:  Throughout the interview, weave active listening techniques into your responses.  For example, "That sounds like a very fast-paced environment.  Can you tell me more about the team dynamic?"

After the Interview:

Thank You Note: Reiterate your interest in the role and mention a specific detail gleaned through active listening. This shows you were truly engaged and attentive.
By actively listening, you demonstrate not only strong communication skills but also genuine interest in the company and the role. This sets you apart from other candidates and increases your chances of landing your dream job!

このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日もN2やりましょう！
〜にて、をやります。
これは、〜で、と同じなんですけど、
場所 手段・方法 時間 原因・理由

これらを話したい時に使います。
早速例文、いきましょう！

・本日のイベントは大通公園にて行われます。

・場所がわからない場合は、電話にてご連絡ください。

・それでは、会場にてみなさまをお待ちしております。

・その案件は、昨日の会議にて話し合われました。

・あのドキュメンタリーは宮内庁にて撮影されたそうです。


はい、こんな感じです。
いつもの例文と少し違います。

いろんな使い方がありますが、〜で、とだいたい同じだと思うと簡単かもしれません。

いつも通り、声に出したり、例文を作ったりしてください。覚えやすくなりますよ。
