Coup de théâtre!
En quelques jours, Zorba découvre et capture le voleur masqué, un raton particulièrement dangereux.
Le chef de la police félicite Zorba et une fête est organisée en son honneur. C’est là que notre chat s’est trahi. Au moment où la reine des écureuils a épinglé la médaille du mérite sur le revers de sa veste, il a miaulé de joie... Mais, rassure-toi, il est resté dans la police et a même été nommé commissaire en chef quelques années plus tard.

私の朝ごはんは白米とみそ汁と卵焼きだ。食パンとコーンスープの日もある。

外で食べるとお金がかかるので基本家で食べる。
ご飯を食べながら、テレビでニュースを見るのが習慣だ。
平日は必ず朝ごはんを食べるけど、週末は起きるのが遅いので、あまり食べない。

Рубрика "Персона". The rubric "A person"

You've landed the interview – congratulations! Now you need to convince them that you're the perfect fit. Focus on confident communication. It's not about bragging; it's about presenting yourself with clarity, authority, and a winning mindset.

First impressions matter.  Avoid the passive voice and vague statements. Instead of saying, "I could potentially contribute," say, "I'm eager to leverage my marketing expertise to expand your customer base."  Action verbs like "leverage" and "expand" showcase your proactive approach.

Back up your claims with results. Don't just say you're a team player.  Tell a story!  "In my previous role, I collaborated with a diverse team to launch a new product that boosted sales by 20%." Specific examples paint a vivid picture of your accomplishments.

Speak directly to the interviewer. Phrases like "I think" weaken your message. Instead, take ownership of your ideas. Say, "We can implement a strategy that tackles your current challenges head-on." This conveys confidence and decisiveness.

Focus on the positive. When discussing past experiences, highlight your successes. Did you overcome a challenge? Learned a new skill quickly? Share those stories! They demonstrate your adaptability and willingness to learn.

Remember, the interview is a two-way street. Tailor your language to the company culture. Research their values and communication style. If they're data-driven, use metrics and numbers. A laid-back startup might appreciate a more enthusiastic and creative approach.

Finally, don't underestimate the power of body language. Maintain eye contact, project good posture, and speak with a clear, enthusiastic tone. It all adds up to a confident presence that will leave a lasting impression.

Showcase your skills and experience, but also assess if the company culture aligns with your own communication style.  Confident communication is a win-win, helping you land the job you deserve and find a work environment where you can thrive.
