Will Networking Get Me a Job? Strategic Networking With Lucy Samuels

SANDRA: So … what should we do?
JULIE: Well, I like to do arts and crafts, and I’m really good at
drawing. What do you think?
SANDRA: Hmm … how about playing a board game? That would 
be more fun.
JULIE: OK. Let’s play Scrabble! I’m really good at spelling, too!
SANDRA: Oh, yeah? We’ll see about that!

LANGUAGE NOTES
• So … Notice how the “o” sound is drawn out here, combined with the intonation, which 
shows boredom.
• I’m really good at “Really” means “very” and is used to emphasize “good.” It goes before 
the adjective.
• What do you Notice the pronunciation here — it sounds like “Whaddaya.”
• Hmm … is used to show that the speaker is thinking. It is also used to show that the speaker 
disagrees with an idea.
• How about is used to make a tentative suggestion. The speaker is introducing an idea and 
doesn’t want to sound too strong.
• Let’s is used to make a strong suggestion. The speaker feels confident about the plan.
• Oh, yeah? We’ll see about that! “Oh, yeah?” is used in a joking way to show a bit of friendly 
competition. Notice the emphasis on “that,” which refers back to “good at spelling.”

In today's podcast, I discuss how to build rapport during a job interview!

Active Listening: Demonstrate genuine interest in what the interviewer is saying by actively listening to their questions and comments. Maintain eye contact, nod occasionally, and respond thoughtfully to show that you value their input.

Mirror Body Language: Subtly mirror the body language of the interviewer to establish rapport on a subconscious level. This doesn't mean copying their every move, but rather mirroring their posture and gestures to create a sense of harmony and understanding.

Find Common Ground: Look for shared interests, experiences, or values that you can connect with the interviewer on. This could be anything from a similar educational background to a shared passion for a particular industry trend. Bringing up these commonalities can help build rapport and foster a sense of camaraderie.

Ask Thoughtful Questions: Show genuine curiosity about the company, the role, and the interviewer's experiences by asking thoughtful questions. This demonstrates that you're engaged in the conversation and eager to learn more, which can help build rapport and leave a positive impression.

Share Personal Stories (Strategically): When appropriate, share relevant personal anecdotes or experiences that showcase your skills, values, and personality. This can help humanize you in the eyes of the interviewer and create a more meaningful connection. However, be mindful of oversharing or veering off-topic, as this can detract from your professionalism.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語学習者に向けたPodcastです。

さて、今日は大好きなコーヒーの話ではなく、お茶の話です。日本では昔からお茶が人気があります。今の若い人たちは、コーヒーが好きな人も増えているので、もしかしたら、お茶を好きな人は以前よりも減っているかもしれません。

ここでいうお茶は紅茶ではなく、緑茶や麦茶、烏龍茶のことですね。僕の英語の先生は梅昆布茶が好きだそうです。

そして、今僕が1番好きなお茶は、
ほうじ茶
です。

聞いたことありますか？
ほうじ茶（焙じ茶、ほうじちゃ）は、緑茶の一種です。
煎茶や番茶、茎茶を焙煎したものです。焙煎することを、焙じる、ほうじる、とも言いますが、たぶん、ほうじ茶にしか使わないと思います。他に聞いたことがないです。

焙煎しているので香ばしさがあります。
苦みや渋みはほとんどありません。
口当たりはあっさりです。
胃にやさしくて、ご飯を食べる時には良いそうです。

英語にすると、roasted green tea
です。僕は今オンラインコーヒーショップをしていて、自宅でコーヒーを焙煎しています。同じように、ほうじ茶も焙煎したいと考えています。

もしお茶が好き！という方がいましたら、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
