In this episode, I want to tell you how to say "Excuse me" using Bahasa Indonesia. This phrase could be very useful when you don't know how to say or express something in Bahasa Indonesia. Let's listen to it.

Bahasa Sehari-Hari (Daily Phrases)

Using "Excuse Me" in Bahasa Indonesia

班门弄斧即在鲁班门前卖弄使用斧子的技术。也就是说，想在大行家面前显示自己的本领，这种太不谦虚的可笑行为，就叫做“鲁班门前弄大斧”，简称“班门弄斧”。这和俗语所说的“关公面前耍大刀”的意思差不多。

I contend your LinkedIn Profile is even more important than your resume. Why? For starters, your LinkedIn profile is more robust than your resume. You can add multimedia, join professional organizations, list more accomplishments, among other features. More importantly, you can display others' recommendations for you and their endorsements, which carry more weight. It’s also something that is dynamic and shows what you’re doing now. You can use it daily and leave a digital footprint, all while building your personal brand. It’s the living, breathing version of your resume. Finally, when you apply for jobs through LinkedIn, the person viewing your application will see a breakdown of how your profile aligns with the job description, including your skills. While you have limited space on a resume to list your skills, you can incorporate keywords throughout your profile as well as in your Skills & Endorsements profile section. Plus, when you apply for jobs with a Premium LinkedIn account, you can see how you compare to other candidates and how many people have applied. In some cases, applying won’t be worth your time.

In this Express to Impress Podcast episode, you will learn how to write about yourself on LinkedIn so that recruiters and employers discover you. You'll learn common mistakes and how to correct them, so you write a LinkedIn Profile that stands out. Specifically, you'll learn how to write a keyword-rich headline and summary, choose the right professional profile photo, and select skills to feature in the Skills & Endorsements section. At the end of the episode, you'll learn definitions for English idioms and phrases.

I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Executive Coach Terri Creeden! 

In the last episode, Terri talked about authenticity and vulnerability and how they can help people get a job and build meaningful relationships in the workplace. This time, we talk about being authentic in an interview and hear two stories about women who leaned into vulnerability and authenticity and how it helped them in their careers.

Here’s an excerpt from our conversation:

You're never gonna have it all, right? So she went (into the job interview) and said, “This is who I am. This is what I do. You can look at my track record. This is what I've done in the past. I love doing it, and I am the right person for this job.” And she got it!
