How to develop 'selling stories' in a job interview?

Developing compelling stories to sell yourself in a job interview involves showcasing your skills, experiences, and achievements in a way that captivates the interviewer's attention. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you develop these stories effectively:

There will be 4 areas that we'll dive into today:

1. Identify relevant experiences
2. Choose impactful examples
3. Structure your stories using the STAR method

- The STAR Method explanation:
Situation: Describe the context and provide background information about the situation you encountered.
Task: Explain the specific task or challenge you faced within that situation.
Action: Detail the actions you took to address the challenge or task. Be specific about what you did, how you did it, and why you chose that approach.
Result: Share the outcome of your actions, emphasizing the positive impact you made. Use quantifiable results whenever possible to demonstrate the value you added.

4. Focus on the problem-solving aspect

Remember, the goal is to demonstrate your skills, experiences, and achievements in a compelling and memorable way. Developing and refining your storytelling abilities will help you effectively sell yourself during a job interview. Good luck!

Please let me know how I can prepare you personally to help you succeed in your next job interview.

How to develop 'selling stories' in a job interview?

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. I'm an italki American English tutor. Today I want to talk about technical aids for learning languages. And specifically, I want to talk about headphones. So one of the most important things for improving your fluency in any foreign language is to listen to content in that target language.
So for me, I'm currently studying Spanish and trying to maintain my Chinese, so I don't forget it. So what I like to do every day is listen to podcasts. Now you can listen while you're doing other activities like washing your clothes or washing the dishes or exercising at the gym. You can listen to podcasts while you're on the treadmill. 

But the problem is headphones can smash your ears and make your ears uncomfortable. So what I like to do is use bone conduction headphones or earphones. It's a type of headphone that doesn't actually cover your ear canal. It goes in front of your ear and kind of sits on your face. Um, kind of behind your sideburns if you're a man, right in front of your ear and the sound transmits a vibration that goes into your skull and into your ear and your brain can hear the sound just from the vibrations going through your bones. And so they are called bone conduction headphones. I swear by them. And I use them every day. I have a pair which is charged with a USB C port.

So there are many different kinds of options on the market, but I like the ones that use a USB C port to charge them because I don't have to worry about losing the appropriate proprietary charging cord. Instead, I can just use any USB C charging cord to power up the headphones. 

So another advantage of using bone conduction headphones is that while you're wearing them, you can hear sounds outside of the content that you're listening to.
So for example, say, I'm running, I'm jogging and listening to my podcast which is in Chinese while I'm jogging. ( Text limit )

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今回はシンガポールのチャンギ空港で乗り継ぎの間に、日本語のレッスンを受けてくれている方と会った話です。

前回のPodcastでは、約束の場所を探すのにてまどった話をしました。

そして、無事会うことができました。
海外で待ち合わせをして会う、ということはしたことがないので、不思議な感じがしました。めっちゃうれしかったです！日本だけにいると、そういうことには気づきにくいですね。

それで、シンガポールの人が小さい時からよく食べるらしい店のトーストを食べました。Ya Kun Kaya Toastという名前でした。個人的には、ピーナッツバターが入ったトーストがおいしかったです。サクサクした食感の軽いトーストに甘いピーナッツバターとチーズも一緒に入っていて、バランスのいい味でした。

その後、チャンギ空港の隣のjewelというモールにも行きました。ここは歩いてすぐいける場所にありました。知っている人も多いかもしれませんが、かなり大きなモールです。

真ん中に大きな滝があるのが特徴的です。
YouTubeなどで見たことがある人もいるかもしれません。

本当に時間がなかったので、少しだけ散歩して、空港に戻りました。もう少し時間があれば、外に出てみたかったです。

搭乗口に向かう時間になったので、そこでお別れをしました。短い時間でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

今度は、彼女が北海道に来た時は、たくさんおもてなししたいと思います！


ということで、出国も無事終わり、飛行機に乗ることができました。その行き先は…、次のPodcastでお話します。楽しみにしていてくださいね！

最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
