BUSINESS TALK: KNOW YOUR MARKET

今日はいい天気ですね。
外に洗濯物（せんたくもの）が干せますね。

これで、たまっていた洗濯物がなくなります。
乾燥機（かんそうき）を使うと、やっぱりしわができたり、縮んだりすることがあります。
そのときは、しわを伸ばすためにアイロンをかけなくてはなりません。

ところで、みなさんはジーンズの洗濯をしますか。
ジーンズは色落ち（いろおち）することがありますから、洗濯のときは注意してください。

【語彙】
洗濯物（せんたくもの）
洗濯物を干す（ほす）

縮む（ちぢむ）

It's a beautiful day.
I can hang your washing (laundry) outside.

This will get rid of the laundry that has accumulated.
If I use the drying machine, it may still get wrinkles or shrinkage.
Then, I have to iron them to straighten out the wrinkles.

By the way, do you wash your jeans?
Jeans can fade in color, so be careful when washing them.

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.
