You've landed the interview – congratulations! Now you need to convince them that you're the perfect fit. Focus on confident communication. It's not about bragging; it's about presenting yourself with clarity, authority, and a winning mindset.

First impressions matter.  Avoid the passive voice and vague statements. Instead of saying, "I could potentially contribute," say, "I'm eager to leverage my marketing expertise to expand your customer base."  Action verbs like "leverage" and "expand" showcase your proactive approach.

Back up your claims with results. Don't just say you're a team player.  Tell a story!  "In my previous role, I collaborated with a diverse team to launch a new product that boosted sales by 20%." Specific examples paint a vivid picture of your accomplishments.

Speak directly to the interviewer. Phrases like "I think" weaken your message. Instead, take ownership of your ideas. Say, "We can implement a strategy that tackles your current challenges head-on." This conveys confidence and decisiveness.

Focus on the positive. When discussing past experiences, highlight your successes. Did you overcome a challenge? Learned a new skill quickly? Share those stories! They demonstrate your adaptability and willingness to learn.

Remember, the interview is a two-way street. Tailor your language to the company culture. Research their values and communication style. If they're data-driven, use metrics and numbers. A laid-back startup might appreciate a more enthusiastic and creative approach.

Finally, don't underestimate the power of body language. Maintain eye contact, project good posture, and speak with a clear, enthusiastic tone. It all adds up to a confident presence that will leave a lasting impression.

Showcase your skills and experience, but also assess if the company culture aligns with your own communication style.  Confident communication is a win-win, helping you land the job you deserve and find a work environment where you can thrive.

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

今日の天気(てんき)は雨(あめ)です。

雨が降(ふ)っています。

北海道のさっぽろでは、雪(ゆき)がつもりましたよ。

ところで、みなさんは傘(かさ)をつかいますか？
雨のとき、傘をさしますか？

私はいつも、ちいさな、

"おりたたみ傘(がさ)"をもっています。

いつ雨が降ってもいいように、もっています。

そして、雨が降ったら、すぐに傘をさします。

実は、日本人が世界でいちばん、
傘をたくさんもっているそうです。

データでは、一人4.2本ぐらい、もっているようです。

私はふつうの傘と、おりたたみ傘、
2本もっています。

あ、そういえば車のトランクにもう1本ありました・・。3本ですね。

日本人はどうして、すぐに傘をさすのでしょうか。

私は風邪をひきたくないから、
傘をさします。

みなさんは、雨が降ったら、
傘をさしますか？

それとも、傘をささずに、
走りますか？

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

Portuguese/English false friends (5)

从前有一个富人，家里有很多仆人。有一天，他给他们一瓶美酒。一个仆人说：“酒太少了，只够一个人喝，让我们来一场比赛吧。我们每个人都用笔在地上画一条蛇，谁先画好，这瓶酒就让他一个人喝，好不好？”大家都说好。
于是，他们拿起笔，同时在地上画起蛇来。有一个人很快画好了。他看见其他的人还在画着，就说：“你们画得真慢！你们看，我早就画完了！这酒是我的了。”他把酒拿过来，又看了看其他的人，笑着说：“你们还在画呢，那我再给我的蛇画四只脚吧！”
他一边说，一边在画好的蛇上又画了四只脚。可是，还没等他把脚画好，第二个人已经画完了。这个人马上从他手里把酒抢过来，说：“我们比赛画蛇，可是蛇没有脚啊！现在你却给它画上了脚，那还能叫蛇吗？现在我是第一个画完蛇的人了，所以这瓶酒应该是我的！”说完他就开始喝起来。
