Good and evil exist within each of us. It’s our responsibility to own that reality and do whatever we can to nurture the good.

"WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING YOUR GUITAR, MAKE BELIEVE YOU'RE PLAYING AN ACTUAL WOMAN," MISTER MANCINI TOLD ME. "GRAB HER BY THE NECK AND MAKE HER HOLLER."

My father loves jazz and has an extensive collection of records and reel-to-reel tapes he used to enjoy after returning home from work. He might have entered the house in a foul mood, but once he had his Dexter Gordon and a vodka martini, the stress melted away and everything was "Beautiful, baby, just beautiful." The instant the needle hit that record, he'd loosen his tie and become something other than the conservative engineer with a pocketful of IBM pencils embossed with the command think.

"Man, oh man, will you get a load of the chops on this guy? I saw him once at the Blue Note, and I mean to tell you that he blew me right out of my chair! A talent like that comes along only once in a lifetime. The guy was an absolute comet, and there I was in the front row. Can you imagine that?"

"Gee," I'd say. "I bet that was really interesting."

Empathy was the wrong tack, as it seemed only to irritate him.

"You don't know the half of it," my father would say. " 'Really interesting' my butt. You haven't got a clue. You could have taken a hatchet and cut the man's lips right off his face, chopped them off at the quick, and he still would have played better than anyone else out there. That's how good he was."

Because it was the music we'd grown up with, I liked to think that my sisters and I had a genuine appreciation for jazz. We preferred it over the music our friends were listening to, yet nothing we did or said could convince him of our devotion. Aside from replaying the tune on your own instrument, how could you prove you were really listening? It was as if he expected us to change color at the end of each selection.

What Is a Mock Interview? 

A mock interview is a simulated or practice interview that affords job seekers the opportunity to sharpen their interviewing skills by formulating responses in real time, presenting how in-depth they’ve researched the organization and what problems they’ll potentially be solving in the role, asking relevant questions of the interviewer(s), and receiving actionable feedback.

The best way to prepare for anything is to practice. The same applies to job interviews. Thus, having passed such a mock interview, you will get practical experience close to a real one, you will assess your weak sides (and strengthen them of course), and besides, you will obtain the necessary confidence. 

A mock interview is the best way to practice your winning strategy for a real job interview with a future employer. But to do everything properly, you should organize the entire training process and its circumstances as accurately as possible, to make you feel familiar and calm about your future interview. 

Here we will consider mock interviews and how to conduct them!

If you feel the need of support in preparing for an important meeting with C-level managers or a job interview or any interview - book a meeting or a package now to be better prepared for your next big event.

To Your Success,
Anatoly

Как жили люди раньше?

こんにちは！みほです。みなさん元気ですか。私のポッドキャスト「Mihongo Nihongo」へようこそ！
このポッドキャストでは、私がみじかい話(はなし)をします。みなさんは私の話を聞(き)いて、質問(しつもん)に答(こた)えてください。

きょうの話は「休(やす)みの日」です。質問は３つです。
①私は休みの日、何を勉強(べんきょう)しますか？
②私は日曜日(にちようび)、だれと出かけますか？
③どうして私はちょっとさみしいですか？

じゃあ準備(じゅんび)はいいですか？始めましょう！

みなさんは休みの日、何をしますか。私はアニメを見たり、ゲームをしたりします。あと、英語(えいご)も勉強します。最近(さいきん)、フランス語も始めました。それから、ときどき夫(おっと)と息子(むすこ)と出かけます。息子が小さかった時(とき)は、毎週(まいしゅう)日曜日に家族(かぞく)で出かけていました。でも、最近息子は友達(ともだち)とあそぶのがたのしいから、あまりいっしょに出かけません。いいことですが、ちょっとさみしいですね。


ではもう一度(いちど)質問です。
①私は休みの日、何を勉強(べんきょう)しますか？
②私は日曜日、だれと出かけますか？
③どうして私はちょっとさみしいですか？

答えです。
①英語とフランス語を勉強します。
②夫と息子と出かけます。
③最近息子が友達とあそぶので、あまり家族でいっしょに出かけないからです。

どうでしたか？答えられましたか？
それではきょうのポッドキャストはここまで。最後(さいご)まで聞いてくれてありがとうございました。またね！
