Essential Job Interview Tips and Tricks II

Last week I discussed some of the basics of interviewing for a job in English and specific job related vocabulary. This week I would like to focus on some of the common questions that are asked during the interview and appropriate responses to these questions.

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
Candidate: I was born and raised in Milan, Italy. I attended the University of Milan and received my master's degree in Economics. I have worked for 12 years as a financial consultant in Milan for various companies including Rossi Consultants, Quasar Insurance and Sardi and Sons. I enjoy playing tennis in my free time and learning languages.
Candidate: I've just graduated from the University of Singapore with a degree in Computers. During the summers, I worked as a systems administrator for a small company to help pay for my education.
Comment: This question is meant as an introduction. Do not focus too specifically on any one area. The above question will often be used to help the interviewer choose what h/she would like to ask next. While it is important to give an overall impression of who you are, make sure to concentrate on work related experience. Work related experience should always be the central focus of any interview (work experience is more important than education in most English speaking countries).

Frederick Brown: The End

The End

Professor Jones had been working on time theory for many yeras.
"And I have found the key equation," he told his daughter one day. "Time is a field.  This machine I have made can manipulate, even reverse, that field."
Pushing a button as he spoke, he said, "This should make time run backward backward run time make should this," said he, spoke he as button a pushing.
"Field that, reverse even, manipulate can amde have I machine this.  Field is a time." Day one daughter his told he, "Equation key the found have I and."
"Years many for theory time on working been had Jones Professor."

Jones professzor már régóta dolgozott az időelméleten.
'De végül megtaláltam a kulcs egyenletet', mondta a lányának egy nap.
'Az idő tér. A gép, amit alkottam, nemcsak képes befolyásolni az időt, hanem vissza is tudja fordítani azt.'
Miközben beszélt, megnyomott a gépen egy gombot.
'Ez a gomb visszafordítja az időt időt az visszafordítja gomb a ez.'
Gombot egy gépen a megnyomott beszélt miközben.
'Azt fordítani tudja is vissza hanem, időt az befolyásolni képes nemcsak alkottam amit, gép a. Tér idő az.'

Papír vagy nem papír, ez itt a kérdés

Vizsgázunk. Vizsgázgatunk. Vizsgázni szeretnénk.Vizsgázni kéne. Hú, vizsga...  De hol? Melyiket? Mikor, hogy ne csússzak ki a határidőből?




Régen, az olcsón elérhető, szótárhasználatot engedő (bár idő az nemigen jutott rá...) állami vizsgák (ITK Origo (Rigó), BME, stb..)  vitték angolból a prímet. Még a kivételek kivételeit is tudni kellett nyelvtanból és a fordítás magyarról angolra, a teszt, az angol szöveg átültetése magyarra, mind-mind külön agyat kíván. Sőt. Az utóbbi stílust is. Magyarosan megfogalmazni egy angol szöveget... és rendesen tudni az angol proverbeket, idiomákat, phrasal verb-eket, van akinek nagyon megy, de az biztos, hogy egy külön képesség, maradjunk ennyiben.

Jó hír, hogy ez a képesség független a nyelvkészségtől és fejleszthető!
Melyik megy könnyebben? Elemezni vagy verset tanulni?
Végül is eldönthetjük műfordítók vagy tolmácsok lennénk-e szívesebben...

Valahol mindig fontos a cél. A belső motiváció az önálló tanuláshoz és a külső segítség keresése, ha a rendszerezés nehezen megy vagy tanulási nehézségek adódnak.  Jó az, ha az ember felismeri, értem, megy is, de...a passzív tudás (tesztek, választások) sajnos csak az első fokozat.

Gyakorlatba beültetni, alkalmazni megtanulni több időt igényelhet, mint gondolnád! Az aktív tudás megszerzése szeretetet, szenvedélyt, szorgalmat kíván!

1. Érdemes átgondolni, miért is tanulunk angolt? Ugyanis valahol ketté kell választani a nyelvtanulást:  komplex nyelvvizsgára van szükséged, mert kell a munkához, a felvételihez, VAGY túlélő nyelvtudás, az élethez. Nagyon nem mindegy. Hiába nézünk sorozatokat angol nyelven, felirattal, s igen, hasznos, de a nyelvvizsgához nem feltétlenül ez kell.
2. Manapság kell a nyelvvizsga (középfok- B2, felsőfok - C1) a diplomához. S lassan eljön az idő, mikor kell a nyelvvizsga a felvételihez.

 Nyelvvizsgázni, érettségizni kell, érdemes, szükséges, jó. Ha nem használod a megszerzett tudást, akkor viszont könnyen elfelejtődhet!

A munkahelyeken már nemcsak a papír kell, hanem az élő, életképes, beszélő, problémamegoldó nyelvtudást!Tehát van még dolgod a papír megszerzése után is! Ismétlés a tudás anyukája...

***

Vizsgákról helyi iskolák vagy vizsgák típusa szerint érdemes infót gyűjteni.

Kis dolgokban, pontozásban, feladattípusokban eltérhetnek, de azonos képességet és tudástárt, nyelvi bázist és szókészletet igényelnek. Képleírás, levélírás vagy fogalmazás, (esetleg tömörítés), képleírás, összehasonlítás, szövegkiegészítés, mondatkészítés, magnóhallgatás, hallott szöveg értése, írott szöveg értése, témakifejtés szóban, szituációkban mindegyikben van.

 De nem bonyolult, hisz csak a nyelvtan van és a szavak. :-))

 Ha rászánod az időd, az energiád, ez fialni fog. Munkát, kenyeret, életérzést, önbecsülést.

What Your Looks Say About Your Health

By Karen Pallarito, Health

Good health often is reflected in an attractive, youthful appearance.

So you might be tempted to blame aging and stress for facial lines, unsightly fingernails, or hair loss when, in fact, these flaws can signal underlying health issues, says integrative medicine specialist Molly M. Roberts, MD, of the Institute for Health & Healing, in San Francisco, and president of the American Holistic Medical Association.

"It'll start by whispering, then it'll start talking, and, if you don't pay attention, it'll start yelling and shouting, and then you've got an illness,” she says.

Here are 13 physical signs that trouble may be lurking beneath the skin's surface.

How to Be Patient

Learning to be patient will make the clocks seem to move much faster than if you are constantly staring at it.

It has never been easy to be patient, but it's probably harder now than at any time in history. In a world where messages and information can be sent across the world instantly, everything is available with only a few clicks of the mouse. Fortunately, patience is a virtue that can be cultivated and nurtured over time. You will be pleasantly surprised by how relaxation and peace of mind can impact the quality of your life.

Sport and environment

Sport is intimately connected to nature. A healthy environment is necessary for healthy sport. For many athletes, it is this intimacy with nature that motivates and inspires them. Sports facilities, events, activities and the manufacture of sporting goods have an impact on the environment. Energy consumption, air pollution, emissions of greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances, waste disposal, wastes use and impacts on biological diversity are all issues for the sporting world to address.

11 job search tips for 2011

By Kaitlin Madden, CareerBuilder Writer

It's 2011 and it's time to take control of your job search. This year, it's no longer up to companies to hire you, it's up to you to get hired. Forget about how the economy is doing. Reflect on last year if you must, but then forget about that, too. This year, your focus will be on finding the right job for you and doing everything you can to be the best candidate for that job. The competition may still be tough, but here's how to turn the tables in your favor.
1. Narrow your search. Stop applying to jobs that you're not qualified for or don't really want. It's a waste of time. Be honest with yourself when evaluating job postings. If you had to start the job tomorrow, do you have all the skills you'd need to succeed? Or are there areas of the job description that you don't have experience in? While it's always great to be willing to learn, most companies want to hire someone who can jump right in and get started without being trained from scratch. Focus your time on creating great applications for jobs you are well-qualified for instead.

Not everybody approaches education with the same goal. High school and higher education serve different purposes for each student. For some pupils, school is a direct path to a job. For others, it is a chance to learn for the sake of personal growth. Visit any classroom and you'll encounter students with a variety of goals for their education.

Let’s Play a Guessing Game With Ikea’s Flat-Out Gorgeous Baking Book

A: What are these the ingredients for?Photo: Courtesy Carl Kleiner and Ikea

Everyone's favorite homewares purveyor Ikea has just published a collection of baking recipes called Hembakat är Bäst (Homemade Is Best). Sure, knowing how to make Princess Cake is fine and dandy, but the volume is illustrated with some of the most inventive cookbook photography we've ever seen: Styled by Evelina Bratell and photographed by Carl Kleiner, the pristine arrangements of ingredients are so stark and geometric that they verge on the abstract. The good news is that the book is completely free; the bad news is that the only place you can get it is in the kitchen section of Ikea stores — in Sweden. Read on for more of Kleiner's stunning images, and see if you can guess what the recipes are for. (Answers are at the very end of the post.)

TRAVELLING

Part I.

1. Íme egy kis történet egy utazásról. Különösen figyelj a kiemelt szavakra, velük lesz még késõbb dolgod.
My best friend, Samuel and me have been bitten by the travel bug, so we decided to go to Italy during the summer. Sam suggested going by car, but I tried to convince him that travelling by train, or plane is much more comfortable. Besides, I know he drives at beakneck speed and I'm often carsick, so I told him I would rather go on foot, but not in his car! Anyway, we set off on a warm summer morning and saw lovely towns, little picturesque villages, all the beauty spots in Italy, I must say, including the mountains. I can hardly find words to describe the view from the peak; breathtaking, magnificient or maybe stunning? Well, I did in fact find some words in the end! It was a really scenic journey. It was the first time I had ever been abroad and I really enjoyed every minute of it. Interestingly enough, I was not at all carsick. Yes, as you may have guessed, he convinced me to go in his car and I finaly gave in.

Spidrons

The Spidron is a planar figure consisting of two alternating sequences of isosceles triangles which, once it is folded along the edges, exhibits extraordinary spatial properties.
The Spidron can be used to construct various space-filling polyhedra and reliefs, while its deformations render it suitable for the construction of finely adjustable dynamic structures.

Most Fascinating Natural Phenomena

Most Fascinating Natural Phenomena

Aurora Borealis

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful events to occur in our world, the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, has both astounded and amazed people since it was first discovered. This phenomenon ocurrs when the sun gives off high-energy charged particles (also called ions) that travel out into space at speeds of 300 to 1200 kilometres per second. A cloud of such particles is called a plasma. The stream of plasma coming from the sun is known as the solar wind. As the solar wind interacts with the edge of the earth’s magnetic field, some of the particles are trapped by it and they follow the lines of magnetic force down into the ionosphere, the section of the earth’s atmosphere that extends from about 60 to 600 kilometers above the earth’s surface. When the particles collide with the gases in the ionosphere they start to glow, producing the spectacle that we know as the auroras, northern and southern.

The colours of infinity - fractals

by Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon (Author) "Fractals are more than just stunning visual effects - they open up new ways to model nature and allow us to quantify terms like 'irregular',..."


Product Description
Benoit Mandelbrot discovered what is now called the M-Set in the early seventies and coined the term fractal to describe the geometry behind it. The power and the beauty of fractals were only capable of being seen with the advent of computers, which become psychedelic windows on the infinite when using simple fractal equations. In 1992 Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon made the TV documentary, The Colors of Infinity about the Mandelbrot Set and fractals, which has since been seen right round the world. Nigel s enthusiasm brought together a dream team of contributors for the film who all now contribute to the book tracking how fractals have developed since the film was made. Sir Arthur C Clarke presented the film and in the book gives a lucidly simple account of the mathematics of the M-Set. Benoit Mandelbrot, the Belgian mathematician explains how it began. Professor Michael Barnsley, the computer graphics researcher who developed fractal image compression technology, explains the applications of the breakthroughs. Professor Ian Stewart, author of Does God Play Dice? adds his insights into the beautifully simple equation that gives birth to fractals. Two of the most interesting applications of fractal geometry, reflected by the two new contributors to the book, are to the Internet and to the Stock Market. Dr Gary Flake, Chief Technology Officer at Overture, the leading provider of commercial search on the Internet and just taken over by Yahoo for 1.6 billion dollars, discusses the profoundly fractal nature of the Web in his article: The Self-ish Web. Robert Prechter Jr is President of Elliott Wave International, Inc. and founder of the Socionomics Institute. His latest title is Socionomics: The Science of History and Social Prediction (2003). He writes about how fractals can help us understand the oscillations of stock markets. In the back of the book is a DVD of the original documentary with soundtrack by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd PLUS a 30-minute fractal animation to the music of members of Quintessence.

maths in nature

(Image: Darren Osborne) Pi

Any circle, even the disc of the Sun as viewed from Cappadoccia, central Turkey during the 2006 total eclipse, holds that perfect relationship where the circumference divided by the diameter equals pi. First devised (inaccurately) by the Egyptians and Babylonians, the infinite decimal places of pi (approximately 3.1415926...) have been calculated to billions of decimal places.

Phrasal verbs

What are phrasal verbs?

1.  A phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or adverb which creates a meaning different from the original verb. Example: I ran into my teacher at the movies last night. run + into = meet He ran away when he was 15. run + away = leave home 2. Some phrasal verbs are intransitive. An intransitive verb cannot be followed by an object. Example: He suddenly showed up. "show up" cannot take an object 3. Some phrasal verbs are transitive. A transitive verb can be followed by an object. Example: I made up the story. "story" is the object of "make up" 4. Some transitive phrasal verbs are separable. The object is placed between the verb and the preposition. In this Phrasal Verb Dictionary, separable phrasal verbs are marked by placing a * between the verb and the preposition / adverb. Example: I talked my mother into letting me borrow the car. She looked the phone number up. 5. Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable. The object is placed after the preposition. In this Phrasal Verb Dictionary, inseparable phrasal verbs are marked by placing a + after the preposition / adverb. Example: I ran into an old friend yesterday. They are looking into the problem. 6. Some transitive phrasal verbs can take an object in both places. In this Phrasal Verb Dictionary, such phrasal verbs are marked with both * and + . Example: I looked the number up in the phone book. I looked up the number in the phone book. 7. WARNING! Although many phrasal verbs can take an object in both places, you must put the object between the verb and the preposition if the object is a pronoun. Example: I looked the number up in the phone book. I looked up the number in the phone book. I looked it up in the phone book. correct I looked up it in the phone book. incorrect Also try our Verb + Preposition Dictionary to look up standard verb + prepostion combinations.

-Stephen King, The Body

"A legfontosabb dolgokat a legnehezebb elmondani. Ha ezekről beszélsz, nevetségesnek érzed magad, hiszen szavakba öntve összezsugorodnak - amíg a fejedben vannak, határtalannak tűnnek, de kimondva jelentéktelenné válnak. Ám azt hiszem, többről van itt szó. A legfontosabb dolgok túl közel lapulnak ahhoz a helyhez, ahol a lelked legféltettebb titkai vannak eltemetve, irányjelzőként vezetnek a kincshez, amit az ellenségeid oly szívesen lopnának el. Ha mégis megpróbálsz beszélni róluk, a hallgatóságtól csak furcsálló tekinteteket kapsz cserébe, egyáltalán nem értenek meg, nem értik, miért olyan fontos ez neked, hogy közben majdnem sírva fakadsz. És szerintem ez a legrosszabb. Amikor a titok nem miattad marad titok, hanem mert nincs, aki megértsen."

Stephen King

"... They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear."
-Stephen King, The Body
