Parler couramment le français.

Did you know that ancient Greece had a huge influence on modern thought? Well, here are ten words which come from that time and culture. 
-
Chaos: Derived from the Greek word "khaos," meaning "abyss" or "emptiness," chaos refers to a state of disorder or confusion.

Democracy: Rooted in the Greek words "demos" (people) and "kratos" (power), democracy embodies the concept of government by the people.

Philosophy: Stemming from the Greek words "philos" (love) and "sophia" (wisdom), philosophy encompasses the pursuit of knowledge and the exploration of fundamental questions about life and existence.

Marathon: Inspired by the Greek city of Marathon, this word signifies a long-distance race that originated from the historical Battle of Marathon.

Eureka: Popularized by the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes, "eureka" expresses the exhilaration of discovery or a sudden realization.

Drama: Derived from the Greek word "drama," meaning "action" or "deed," drama refers to a form of literature or performance that portrays characters and conflicts.

Acropolis: Originating from the Greek words "akros" (highest) and "polis" (city), the acropolis refers to a fortified hilltop or citadel, often hosting temples or important structures.

Phobia: Rooted in the Greek word "phobos" (fear), phobia is used to describe an irrational or excessive fear of specific objects, situations, or concepts.

Ethos: Derived from the Greek word "ethos" (character), ethos represents the fundamental values, beliefs, and guiding principles of an individual, group, or society.

Hypnosis: Stemming from the Greek word "hypnos" (sleep), hypnosis is a state of altered consciousness characterized by increased suggestibility and relaxation.

Align with Job Description: Questions should target specific competencies identified in the job description.
Use Action Verbs: Focus on actions taken (e.g., "developed," "implemented," "negotiated").
Focus on Specific Situations: Prompt for concrete examples, avoiding vague inquiries like "Tell me about a time you worked under pressure." Instead, ask, "Describe a situation where a tight deadline required prioritizing tasks effectively."
The STAR Method:

The STAR method provides a framework for candidates to structure their responses to behavioral questions:

Situation: Briefly describe the context and challenges faced.
Task: Explain your specific role and responsibilities in the situation.
Action: Detail the specific actions you took to address the challenge.
Result: Describe the outcome of your actions, quantifying achievements if possible.
Beyond Technical Skills:

Behavioral interviewing goes beyond technical skills, offering insights into:

Problem-Solving Approach: Explore how the candidate tackled challenges, revealing their thought process and analytical abilities.

Communication Style: Pay attention to clarity, conciseness, and ability to articulate ideas effectively.
Work Style: Understand if the candidate thrives in independent or collaborative environments.
Benefits and Best Practices:

Reduced Bias: Focusing on past actions minimizes the influence of unconscious bias based on appearance or background.

Increased Predictability: Understanding past performance in similar situations improves the likelihood of future success.

Deeper Candidate Evaluation: Behavioral questions move beyond a resume, revealing a more holistic picture of the candidate's capabilities.

Best practices:

Develop a set of behavioral questions for each role to ensure consistency.

Pay close attention to the candidate's use of the STAR method and probe for further details.

Evaluate responses across candidates using a consistent scoring rubric.

French Stories For All

Voir vs Regarder (l'histoire de Jean-Pierre)

我在北京
我一直都很喜欢中国的文化。今年一月我离开家，离开了我的爸爸、妈妈，一个人坐飞机来北京学习汉语。老师和同学们对我非常好，他们帮助我提高汉语听、说、读、写能力，还告诉我北京人的工作和生活。
北京的春天天气很好，不冷不热，也很少下雨。我最喜欢北京的早上。每天早上五点半，我都会去跑步。在路上，我常常看见很多做运动的人。有的人在前面跑，他们的小狗在后面跑。人跑到哪儿，狗就到哪儿，太有意思了!很多商店很早就开门了，水果和菜就放在桌子上。卖东西的人坐在椅子上，手里拿着杯子，喝着茶，等着客人来买。晚上是我很喜欢的时间，我可以和朋友一起逛街、喝酒、吃好吃的东西。如果10点左右回家也没关系，因为中国是一个很安全的国家。
