Halo semua! Selamat pagi, siang, sore dan malam! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? 
Ini adalah podcast pertama saya di Italki. Saya lumayan gugup atau “deg-degan”. Kalian tahu arti kata “deg-degan”? Di Bahasa Jepang artinya “どきどき、緊張する”、di Bahasa Inggris artinya “nervous”. 
Saya pikir kalian juga pernah merasa gugup atau deg-degan waktu berbicara di depan orang banyak. Kalau kalian deg-degan, biasanya kalian melakukan apa? Hmm.. kalau saya, bolak-balik ke toilet ^^;  “Bolak-balik” ini juga ekspresi ya, di Bahasa Jepang artinya “行ったり来たり” , di Bahasa Inggris artinya “back and forth”.
Ok, Hari ini sampai di sini ya! Sampai jumpa di podcast berikutnya! Semoga hari ini kalian tidak deg-degan melakukan sesuatu ya ^^

Akhir minggu

In today's fast-paced and competitive job market, finding the right talent is essential for any organization's success. While evaluating a candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience is important, it is equally important for HR managers to evaluate cultural fit. 

Cultural fit is the degree to which a candidate's values, work style, and personality align with the culture and values of the organization.

HR managers evaluate cultural fit because it can have a significant impact on a candidate's job performance, job satisfaction, and overall success in the role. 

When a candidate fits in with the organization's culture, they are more likely to be engaged, motivated, and committed to their work. This can lead to better performance, increased productivity, and a positive impact on the organization's bottom line.

Cultural fit also promotes a positive work environment, where employees feel comfortable, supported, and valued. When employees share common values and work styles, they are more likely to collaborate effectively and work together towards common goals. 

This can create a sense of unity and team spirit, which can boost morale and lead to a more positive work culture.

In conclusion, evaluating cultural fit is an important part of the hiring process. HR managers must carefully evaluate a candidate's values, work style, and personality to determine whether they will fit in with the organization's culture. This can help to foster a positive work environment, increase employee engagement and productivity, and ultimately contribute to the organization's success.

〈#12〉どんなものでも美味しそうに食べる動物って？

When we talk about "screen time," we're often thinking about the effect that time spent on devices has on young people.

But what about the effect that those screens have on our eyes?

Whether you're using Instagram or Microsoft Excel, experts say that spending a lot of time looking at a screen isn't good for you.

But if you have to use a computer for work, what can you do to stay healthy?

Many eye experts say you should follow the "20-20-20 rule." This means taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away — that's about 6 meters.

This gives your eyes a break and makes them change their focus from the screen that's near to you, to something that's farther away.

Make sure the screen is the right brightness, too. A screen that's too bright or too dark will make you strain your eyes. But your device can help you with this.

The idea is to reduce the amount of blue light that your eyes are getting, something that "night mode" on your device does. And some companies now sell blue light glasses that can help.

Sitting the right distance from the screen is also a good idea: at least 50 centimeters away is often given as a suggestion.

If you find you're moving close to the screen and straining your eyes to see, you could try making the fonts on your screen larger.

And don't forget to blink! Blinking stops your eyes from getting dry and it can also help to reduce eye strain.
