What if your job interview was evaluated not by a person, but by artificial intelligence?

In Korea, AI interviews are already used by major companies like Hyundai and LG.

This episode explores how facial expressions, tone of voice, and even blinking can impact your score—and what that says about hiring culture in Korea.

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「1日で好きな時間」について話します。

私が1日で好きな時間はふたつあります。一つ目は、朝食の時間。
私は朝食を毎日食べる派です。そしてコーヒーが大好き。コーヒーがないと私の一日は始まりません。家に豆を挽いてコーヒーを作れる機械があるので、毎日新鮮なコーヒーを楽しめるんですよね～。朝食は、ピーナッツバターやチーズ、あとは中東では一般的なLabnaというヨーグルトとクリームチーズの中間的なものをパンに塗って食べることが多いです。サウジに来てから毎朝パンを食べるようになりました。シンプルなパンがとても安いです！あとはりんごも食べます。朝、挽きたてのコーヒーを飲みながら美味しい朝食を食べる時間は最高です。
二つ目は夜寝る前の時間。息子と本を読んでから、ベッドで今日の出来事や明日したいことについて話すリラックスした時間・・・。朝食後から夕食までは時々忙しいし、少しストレスが溜まることもあるけど、この夜のルーティンの時間はかわいい息子と体をくっつけて触れ合える貴重な時間。その日嫌なことがあってもこの時間に忘れることも多いです。

みなさんは1日でどの時間が好きですか？
それではまた！マア　アッサラーマ！

第30回：1日で好きな時間~My favorite time in a day~

On January 1, music magazine Rolling Stone released its list of "The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time," including famous musicians such as Frank Sinatra, Freddie Mercury, and many more.

Rolling Stone first released a list of its "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" in 2008, and has added 100 more artists for 2023.

Aretha Franklin is again number one on the list, with Rolling Stone calling her singing "the most magnificent sound" to ever come out of America.

Next is Whitney Houston at number two, while soul singer Sam Cooke is number three. Jazz singer Billie Holiday is fourth, while pop star Mariah Carey is fifth.



However, some music fans are unhappy that their favorite artists are very low on the list, or aren't included at all.

For example, some Twitter users are angry that Michael Jackson is number 86, while Beyoncé is in the top 10.

Rolling Stone seemed to expect mixed reactions, writing that people should remember that this is the "Greatest Singers" list, not the "Greatest Voices" list.

The magazine said it was looking at things like originality, how many songs someone made and how much they changed music, not just how well they could sing.

Many Twitter users are also angry that Céline Dion was not included on the list — with more than one calling it "a crime against humanity."

The Canadian singer is one of the best-selling artists of all time, with many Grammy awards and even several Oscars for her songs from films, including Titanic and Beauty and the Beast.

Madonna and Justin Bieber are also not on the list, while Ariana Grande and Bob Dylan are.
