ビザの期限が切れたので今、日本に一時帰国しています。ドイツではようやく暖かくなり、庭のさくらが咲き始めていました。マスクの義務も今月から無くなりました。なのでこの時期に帰ることになったのはとても残念です。
さて、日本入国についてですが、今も日本では３回ワクチンを接種している人以外は隔離が必要です。私は２回しかワクチンを接種していないので、隔離をしました。隔離３日目に自費でPCR検査を受けて陰性だったので、隔離期間は３日間でした。PCR検査を受けない場合は7日間です。
ドイツ出国前にもPCR検査を受ける必要がありました。私はフィンランドで乗り継ぎをしたので、そこでPCR検査を受ける必要があるかどうかなどを確認するために入国条件を何度も確認しました。空港のカウンターに行って検査の証明書を見せて、搭乗が認められるまでとても不安でした。また、今回は戦争のために、通常のロシア上空を飛ぶ北ルートではなく、南ルートを通ることになり飛行時間が長くなっていました。でも機内はガラガラで５人席を独り占めでき、横になって寝ることが出来ました。
今も日本入国には隔離やPCR検査が必要なので、コロナ前のように気軽に日本に旅行することができるようになるまではまだ時間がかかりそうです。

Recruiter: Why do you want to do this job?

Candidate: I would be very happy to work here because I really respect the work that this company does and I have always had a positive opinion of it. I believe that with the skills that I have learned over the past six years in this industry, I would be an excellent person to have on the team.

Recruiter: What experience do you have?



Candidate: When I started, I worked as a sales rep for two years and learned a lot during that time and went to a lot of training courses. After two years, I was promoted and became an area manager with a small team of two other people. I did that for three years, before moving to the job I do now. I currently manage a different area with a larger team of five people and since I have been there, our sales have increased by 25%.

Recruiter: Why are you looking for work?

Candidate: Ihave been with this company for six years now and I would like to have experience with a new company and I’m looking for a new challenge. Also, I have a new manager who started a couple of months ago and I don’t really get along with him. He’s pretty stupid.

Recruiter: How would you describe yourself?

Candidate: I’m a hard worker and enjoy learning new skills. I really love working in sales and don’t have a problem with working as long as I need to reach my goals. I’m good at working as part of a team, but I’m happy to work by myself too.

Recruiter: What is your dream job?

Candidate: Selling ice cream on a beach! Sun, ice cream, and sales: my three favorite things.

Recruiter: What are you good at?

Candidate: One of my biggest strengths is listening to customers to find out what they need and building relationships with them.

Recruiter: How do you deal with a large amount of work?

Candidate: First, I decide what are the most important tasks to deal with and I do those first. If I’ve got a lot to do, I will get up extra early and get a head start.

Recruiter: What are your hobbies?

쌤통이다

쌤통이다 뭐예요? 
What is 쌤통? 

The word "쌤통" means the feeling of delight in someone's misfortune or failure.

In fact, there is a technical term for this in psychology.
Schadenfreude. 
"Schadenfreude" is a German word that refers to the experience of pleasure or joy that comes from witnessing or learning about others’ misfortune.

"Especially, when someone I am jealous of makes a mistake and stumbles in front of others, I find myself secretly happy."
When you feel this, you can say 쌤통이다. 

But be careful!
it is generally considered a negative emotion so you should not express that emotion inside out. 

Don’t forget this!
쌤통이다.
