How To Positively Influence A Hiring Manager?


There are various way you can do so. Here is an answer from internet: 

"The best way to influence candidates as a recruiter is by effectively communicating the value proposition of the organization, actively listening to their needs and aspirations, building strong relationships, and providing personalized solutions that align with their interests and career goals."

IIn my podcast I covered something else - the mental world of yours and what do you do to prepare for the 'project' mentally. Here is an anwer from the internet:

 "Another tool you can use to mentally prepare is to visualize the interview going well. Instead of picturing yourself not knowing answers to questions or stumbling over your words, take time to imagine answering each question perfectly. Imagine that you are not nervous and your confidence shines to the interviewer."

I talk about a different thing instead - the attitude you carry with you about who you are and what you can deliver and from this perspective you speaj/answer recruiter's questions.

Dive deeper into my podcast and pick whats relevant, what resonates and what you can use to succeed as its my only intention for you!

Good luck.

How Important Is Self-Discipline In One's Journey Of Improving Their Language Enhancement?

Self-Motivation: While external motivation, such as teachers or language partners, can be helpful, self-discipline is the internal motivation that keeps the student going even when external support is not available.

Independence in Learning: Self-disciplined students can take charge of their own learning. They seek out resources, practice consistently, and actively engage in learning activities without constant supervision.

Language Immersion: Immersing oneself in the English language is an effective way to improve language skills. Self-discipline allows students to seek out English media, books, and conversations, enhancing their language exposure.

Consolidating Learning: Repetition and reinforcement are essential for language acquisition. Self-disciplined students review and practice regularly, which helps consolidate what they have learned.

Adaptability: Self-disciplined students can adapt their learning methods and approaches to suit their preferences and needs. They are open to trying new techniques and finding what works best for them.

Long-Term Commitment: Learning a language is a long-term endeavor. Self-discipline ensures that the student remains committed and dedicated to their language learning goals over an extended period.

Confidence and Empowerment: Self-discipline leads to achievements and progress, which, in turn, boosts the student's confidence and sense of empowerment in their language abilities.

こんにちは～！マルハバ！サウジの日本語の先生、佳子です＾＾
みなさんー！お元気ですか？私は元気ですよ～！今日は先日行った息子のいとこの誕生日パーティーについてお話ししたいと思います。

先週末、息子より2ヶ月早く生まれたいとこDちゃんの6歳の誕生日パーティーに行ってきました～！同い年ということもあって、息子はDちゃんと遊ぶのが大好き。なので今回のパーティーもとても楽しみにしていました。場所は、クッキングやダンス、ミュージックなど放課後の習い事や一般の子供向けの小さなプレイグラウンドを提供している施設で行われました。青を基調とし、とてもおしゃれできれいで居心地がいい空間でした。
そしてパーティーのテーマはプリンセス！ほとんどの女の子たちがプリンセスのドレスを着てやってきました。メイクもしていてほんとうにかわいかったですね。
今回のパーティーにはDちゃんのいとこ13人、DちゃんやDちゃんの妹のクラスメートなど10人、こども合計25人が参加しました。大人は女性オンリーです。こういうパーティーはほぼ確実に女性だけです。Dちゃんは夫のお兄さんの子供なので、奥さん側の姉妹のみなさんも来ていました。お兄さんの奥さんは7人兄弟の下から2番目なので、Dちゃんにはたくさんのいとこがいます。たくさん遊び相手がいてDちゃんはラッキーですね。
プレイグラウンドで自由に遊びつつも、途中ピエロが登場して一緒にゲームをしたり、フェイスアートをすることもできました。息子はピエロもフェイスアートにも興味がなかったので、終始プレイグラウンドで遊んでいました。
終盤にお待ちかねのケーキタイム。みんなでケーキを食べたり、一緒に写真を撮りました。
帰りに、小さなおもちゃが入ったバッグとスナックボックスをもらいました。他の国ではわからないですが、サウジの誕生日パーティーではこれがお決まりです。
素敵な空間で美味しいものも食べれて私も息子も大いに楽しみました！来年のパーティーも楽しみです。

それではまた！マア　アッサラーマ！
