Did you feel confident in your last interview? 

If you didn’t feel confident, your interviewer likely didn’t perceive you as confident. 

Yet, in the U.S. and many other countries, interviewers prefer confident candidates. It seems to have an intoxicating effect on them, and many of them equate it (for better or for worse) with competence. So, it’s a skill worth learning! 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress podcast to learn which groups of people struggle most with confidence in interviews. You’ll also learn how you can overcome self-doubt to feel and project confidence in an interview.  Ultimately, you'll feel better, increase your interviewer's confidence in you, and land a job offer.

Привет, друзья! Это мой подкаст «По-русски легко!» .
Сейчас начало лета. А это значит, что многие русские едут на дачи.
Дача – это русский феномен, о котором знают все. Можно сказать, что дача – это русское традиционное летнее хобби, а для дачников - вторая работа. Дачники – люди, которые очень любят работать на даче. Пенсионеры обычно живут на даче всё лето.  
Типичная дача - это небольшой дом, в нём одна комната, нет отопления и нет водопровода. Туалета в доме тоже нет. Обычно туалет на улице, недалеко от дома.
Если вы хотите принять душ или помыть руки, нужно принести воды из скважины. Скважина – это отверстие в земле, чтобы брать там воду. Можно принести воду из колонки или из колодца. Скважина – личное имущество человека, а колонка и колодец – общие для всех.
Участок земли обычно небольшой 6 или 8 соток. Это значит 600 или 800 квадратных метров. Что там растёт? Всё! Фруктовые деревья, разные овощи, цветы. И обычно есть газон. 
Надеюсь, вам было интересно. Приглашаю ко мне на курс «Летний интенсив»! До встречи!

The Vigilant Rabbit

Ice cream for breakfast, potato chips all day long and lots of lying down — part of the reason we love going on holiday is because it can be a break from the normal routine of life.

But how can we stay healthy on holiday while still having a good time?

A lot of trips begin with an airplane. Time in the air can cause dehydration, so drink plenty of water and try to avoid too much alcohol and caffeine.

You should also wash your hands regularly on your flight, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

These are good rules to follow all through your trip. If you're going to have alcohol and caffeine, drink lots of water too — especially if you're in a hot place.

But be careful with the water you do drink, says travel expert Rick Steves. In some countries, tap water is good to drink, but you should check before you try it. Bottled water may be safer.

You'll also need to take care with street food. Look at how clean the place is, and whether other people are eating there — and get freshly cooked food when you can.

Katie Stone from the University of California at Davis says it's not a good idea to skip meals, because it may make you overeat later in the day. Keeping some healthy snacks with you will help with this, says the American Heart Association.

If you're visiting a city, you might be doing a lot of walking. But if you're on a pool or beach holiday, try to make sure you do some extra exercise, advises the British Heart Foundation.

And most of the experts say getting a good night's sleep is just as important on holiday as it is at home.
