Üdvözöllek a Magyar Világ Csatornán!
A régi időkben az emberek nem mindig mentek el az orvoshoz, ha megfáztak, inkább választottak helyette háziszereket, mint például hagymát, ecetet vagy kamillateát.
Ebben a részben most megtudhatod, hogyan is használták ezeket a szereket a magyarok megfázás esetén. 😉

How to develop 'selling stories' in a job interview?

Developing compelling stories to sell yourself in a job interview involves showcasing your skills, experiences, and achievements in a way that captivates the interviewer's attention. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you develop these stories effectively:

There will be 4 areas that we'll dive into today:

1. Identify relevant experiences
2. Choose impactful examples
3. Structure your stories using the STAR method

- The STAR Method explanation:
Situation: Describe the context and provide background information about the situation you encountered.
Task: Explain the specific task or challenge you faced within that situation.
Action: Detail the actions you took to address the challenge or task. Be specific about what you did, how you did it, and why you chose that approach.
Result: Share the outcome of your actions, emphasizing the positive impact you made. Use quantifiable results whenever possible to demonstrate the value you added.

4. Focus on the problem-solving aspect

Remember, the goal is to demonstrate your skills, experiences, and achievements in a compelling and memorable way. Developing and refining your storytelling abilities will help you effectively sell yourself during a job interview. Good luck!

Please let me know how I can prepare you personally to help you succeed in your next job interview.

How to develop 'selling stories' in a job interview?

It's the biggest thing in the night sky, so it's no surprise the moon appears in many English expressions. Here are a few examples.

If someone says they "love you to the moon and back," it means they love you very much, because their love is as large as the distance between the Earth and the moon – an average of 384,000 kilometers.

This expression is used in Guess How Much I Love You, a 2008 children's book by Sam McBratney. It's usually said to romantic partners or people in your family.

If someone is talking "moonshine" it means they're talking about something that isn't real or is foolish. But more often someone will offer you a drink of "moonshine," which is a word used in the US for illegal liquor.

If something doesn't happen very often, it can be said to only happen "once in a blue moon." A "blue moon" isn't really blue – it's either when a second full moon is seen in the same month, or the third full moon when four full moons are seen in the same season.

Both types of blue moon don't happen very often, only about once every 2.7 years.

A bluefin tuna was sold for 36.04 million yen -- around $273,000 -- at the first auction of the year at Tokyo's Toyosu fish market.

The price of the 212-kilogram fish was more than double that of the most expensive fish at last year's New Year's auction: a 211-kilogram fish that sold for 16.88 million yen -- at that time worth $145,000.

Both fish were caught off the coast of the town of Oma in Aomori prefecture.

This year's auction began at 5:10 a.m. on January 5, and around 230 tuna were sold in just 15 minutes.

Seafood wholesaler Yamayuki bought this year's most expensive fish for the sushi restaurant Ginza Onodera. The tuna was served to the restaurant's customers later that same day.

This is the third year in a row that Yamayuki has bought the most expensive tuna. However, prices had fallen in recent years as the restaurant industry suffered during the coronavirus pandemic.

Yamayuki's president Yukitaka Yamaguchi told The Yomiuri Shimbun that the increased price this year "is good news that symbolizes the gradual recovery from the pandemic."

This year's top price was the sixth highest since records began being kept in 1999.

The highest price recorded was at the New Year's auction in 2019 -- just after Tokyo's fish market moved from Tsukiji to Toyosu. At that auction, a 278-kilogram fish was sold for 333.6 million yen -- at that time $3 million -- to Kiyomura Corp., whose owner, Kiyoshi Kimura, runs the Sushi Zanmai restaurant chain.
