Lichtverschmutzung
(A)  Experten sprechen vom „VERLUST DER NACHT“. Man kann es auch LICHTVERSCHMUTZUNG nennen. Was versteht man darunter? Lichtverschmutzung ist künstliches Licht, das die nächtliche Umwelt aufhellt und den natürlichen Tag- und Nachtrhythmus von Menschen, Tieren und anderen Organismen stört. 
(B)  Es klingt überraschend, aber Lichtverschmutzung ist eine Form der Umweltverschmutzung.  Flora und Fauna sind gleichermaßen betroffen. Wenn Bäume und andere Pflanzen ständig von künstlichem Licht beleuchtet werden, wachsen sie anders und blühen anders als in einer natürlichen Lichtumgebung. 
(C)  Zugvögel verlieren die Orientierung: Ihre Flüge in den Süden dauern länger und kosten somit zu viel Energie. Vögel sind im künstlichen Licht viel aktiver. Sie singen mehr, fressen mehr und sie brüten früher. Das kann bedeuten, dass sie im Frühjahr noch nicht genug Futter finden.
(D)  Insekten werden durch Straßenlaternen magisch angezogen und sterben auf diese Weise zu Tausenden. Sie fehlen dann anderswo, entweder als Nahrungsquelle oder als natürliche Feinde einer anderen Spezies. 
(E)  Wir brauchen dringend Ideen, wie wir dieses PROBLEM ANGEHEN können.

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!
