Episode 13: Collaborating With Others

Je bent een deel van het geheel
Wanneer je omhoogkijkt naar de lucht, onthoud dan dat je er niet als enige naar kijkt. 
We kijken allemaal naar dezelfde zon en dezelfde maan. We delen dezelfde ruimte en ademen dezelfde lucht. Denk dus nooit dat er niemand is die zich met jouw ervaring kan identificeren. Als je heel goed oplet zal je deze mensen vanzelf tegenkomen en herkennen. Dit zal vanzelf gaan zolang je niet aan het proberen bent om iemand anders te zijn dan wie je bent. Wees je authentieke zelf en je “stamleden” zullen je veel makkelijker kunnen herkennen.

You are part of a bigger picture
When you look up at the sky, remember that you’re not the only one looking at it. 
We all look at the same sun and the same moon. We share the same space and we breath the same air. So never think that there isn’t anyone who can relate to your experience. If you really pay attention, you will undoubtedly find these people. As long as you aren’t trying to be someone you are not. Being your authentic self will make it easier for your “tribe members” to find you.

Today we're talking about the word "priority" and specifically, how to emphasise this word. A lot of people make mistakes here and use words like "most" or "very" to emphasise "priority". If you do this, then you might find today's podcast useful.

Is this a priority for you?

Il tema di oggi è basato sulla differenza fra un italiano perfetto ma poco comunicativo vs un italiano grammaticalmente imperfetto ma efficace.

Proficiency vs Communication

What a difference six months make. If you asked me a year ago what my plans were, I probably would have said something along these lines: “Well, considering Covid restrictions seem to finally be easing, and considering the fact that we haven’t really been in the South of France that long, I think we should probably stay at least another year or two or three. Try to put down some roots. Keep trying1 to build a little community here.”

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの24回目です。寒くなくなりましたが、天気のいい日と悪い日が交互に続いています。昨日は休みでした。天気が悪かったので久しぶりに漫画を読みました。漫画は、子供の時読むのと、大人になってから読むのでは印象が違いますね。昔読んだことのある漫画でしたが、重要な部分はほとんど覚えていませんでした。

Hello. This is episode 24 of my podcast. It is no longer cold, but the weather is alternating between good and bad. Yesterday was my day off. The weather was bad, soI read comics for the first time in ages. Reading them as a child and reading it as an adult gives a very different experience. I had read this manga in the past, but I could barely remember the important parts.

春なので、面接を受ける人が多いです。今日は日本の面接について話したいと思います。面接の種類は様々です。簡単なアルバイトの面接だと、数分の面接をして、だいたい１週間以内に結果がわかります。大きな会社の面接だと、１ヶ月ぐらいかけて、３回以上面接をすることもあります。最近はオンラインの面接も増えています。

It is spring and many people have interviews. Today I would like to talk about interviews in Japan. There are different types of interviews. For a simple part-time job interview, the interview lasts a few minutes and you will usually find out the result within a week. For interviews with large companies, it may take about a month and you may be interviewed three or more times. More and more interviews are being conducted online these days.

面接を受けるときは、履歴書を持っていきます。日本の履歴書は、フォーマットが決まっています。「履歴書」という名前の用紙が、文房具屋や、100円ショップや、コンビニで売っています。英語圏の履歴書は、自分でドキュメントを作らなければいけませんが、日本の履歴書は、用紙を買って、空欄を埋めるだけなので、少し楽です。

When you are interviewed, take your CV with you. Japanese CVs have a fixed format. You can buy a form called "Rirekisyo" at stationery stores, 100 yen shops and convenience stores. While in English-speaking countries you have to create your own document, the Japanese CV is a little easier as you just buy the form and fill in the blanks.

英語圏の履歴書と違うところは、日本の履歴書には、必ず生年月日を書かなければいけないところです。他には、履歴書に証明写真を貼らなければいけません。免許証やIDに使うものと同じ証明写真が必要なので、写真撮影だけで1000円ぐらいかかります。しかも、証明写真を撮るために、髪型を整えたり、メイクをしたり、きちんとした服を着なければならないので、面倒ですね。
