Victor Hugo - Demain, dès l'aube
 
Our first poem is from the French poet Victor Hugo, one of the best-known French writers. Demain, dès l'aube which means "Tomorrow, at Dawn," is a short and poignant poem about his visit to his daughter’s grave.
The poem was first released in 1856 in Hugo’s collection called Les Contemplations.

Demain, dès l'aube
Demain, dès l’aube, à l’heure où blanchit la campagne,
Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m’attends.
J’irai par la forêt, j’irai par la montagne.
Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps.
Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées,
Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit,
Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,
Triste, et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit.
Je ne regarderai ni l’or du soir qui tombe,
Ni les voiles au loin descendant vers Harfleur,
Et quand j’arriverai, je mettrai sur ta tombe
Un bouquet de houx vert et de bruyère en fleur.
Tomorrow, at Dawn
 
Tomorrow, at dawn, at the hour when the countryside whitens,
I will depart. You see, I know you wait for me.
I will go through the forest and over the mountains.
I cannot stay far from you any longer.
 
I will trudge on, my eyes fixed on my thoughts,
Ignoring everything around me, without hearing a sound,
Alone, unknown, back stooped, hands crossed,
Saddened, and the day will be like night for me.
 
I will neither see the golden glow of the falling evening,
Nor the sails going down to Harfleur in the distance,
And when I arrive, I will place on your tomb
A bouquet of green holly and flowering heather.

Le roi des animaux
- C’est mon papa, le lion, qui a coupé la grande galette des rois des animaux. Tout le monde a mangé sa part à toute vitesse pour voir s’il y avait la fève. C’est l’éléphant qui l’a trouvée ! Il a pris la couronne de papier avec sa trompe.
Moi, le petit lion, j'étais très triste. Alors, mon papa a enlevé sa couronne de roi des animaux et il me l’a posée sur la tête en affirmant :
- Toi aussi, tu seras roi, mais attends ton tour !

Landing your dream job hinges on more than just qualifications and experience.  The ability to communicate effectively can be the tipping point between an "interviewee" and a "new hire."  Here's how preparation in business communication can propel you towards that coveted job offer:

1. Research is King:  Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to the company you're targeting.  Research their mission, values, and current projects.  This not only demonstrates genuine interest, but also allows you to tailor your responses and showcase how your skills align perfectly with their needs.

2. Craft Your Elevator Pitch:  Imagine a concise, impactful summary of your skills and experience.  This "elevator pitch" could be your first impression, so practice delivering it with confidence.  Focus on achievements and quantifiable results, leaving a lasting impression on potential employers.

3. Anticipate Interview Questions & Prepare Answers:  Common interview questions are a dime a dozen.  Research them online and prepare clear, concise responses that highlight your strengths and accomplishments.  Practice out loud to refine your delivery and ensure you come across as articulate and well-prepared.

4. Dress for Success:  First impressions matter, and your attire speaks volumes.  Research the company culture and dress accordingly.  A professional appearance conveys respect and demonstrates your commitment to the role.

5. Body Language Matters:  Beyond words, nonverbal cues significantly influence how you're perceived.  Maintain eye contact, project confidence through good posture, and avoid fidgeting.  These subtle signals communicate professionalism and enthusiasm.
