BUSINESS ETIQUETTE | GREETINGS AND INTRODUCTIONS.

It is a common courtesy to greet both customers and visitors to your business in a friendly and professional manner. It is also common sense that most companies expect their employees to act professionally and to pay great attention to how they greet visitors.

In any business situation, but especially in an international setting and when communicating in a foreign language, it is imperative that you also pay attention to the societal norms of different cultures and their customs.

For instance, in most western cultures, the handshake is a common greeting which is also used to conclude business dealings. In American culture, the handshake is a sign that a deal has been agreed upon by all parties, and politicians from all countries vie for the obligatory handshake photo opportunity with visiting dignitaries.

Learn more about the handshake and other greetings in episode 2 of BizPod.

Extensive reading can definetely help us gain vocabulary and new expressions. Besides, it is leisure-time activity that most of us enjoy. So, in this episode, I'll recommend three books written by female Latin American authors (commemorating 8M) so that you start reading now!

How To Introduce Yourself In A Job Interview And Win The Attention Of The Hiring Manager?

Often times it's hard for us to open up to others (even ourselves), therefore there is a simple technique you can use that I give in this podcast. It has 3 steps and it will be described in detail. 

Here are some steps you can use to help you to apply the method I am describing:

1. Write about all your qualities that are required for the job.
2. Mention your personal attributes, but do so without sounding arrogant by using phrases such as “I believe that…”, “I think that…” or “I consider myself to be a…”
3. Your self introduction must be accurate and honest.

Last but not least - 4. Keep it short and simple. Don’t try to show off your knowledge of vocabulary or grammar. The interviewer is interested in whether you can do the job, not what you know about English :)

These simple steps can potentially allow you to impress the interviewer and can give you an advantage over other candidates that haven't though it thoroughly.

How To Introduce Yourself In A Job Interview And Win The Attention Of The Hiring Manager?

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もジョージアでPodcastを録っています。

今回はネコの出産に出会いました！という話です。

ぼくたちは今、ジョージア🇬🇪にいます。

それで、1か月ごとにアパートを変わっています。
先週から新しいアパートに移動しました。

そこの近くにかわいいネコがいました。
お腹が大きくて、もうすぐ子どもが産まれそうなネコ。

3日ぐらい毎日会いました。
ネコは良く近寄ってきました。

ぼくたちは、もしかしたらこのネコはもうすぐ子どもを産むかもしれない、と思いました。

それで、一応、YouTubeでネコの出産の動画を見ました。

そしたら、翌日、そのネコは本当にぼくたちのアパートの前で出産をはじめました。

足元に来て、横になっていたので、ぼくの服を下にしきました。そして、ネコの背中をさすりました。

ネコは1匹産みました！
奥さんと良かったなーと言っていたら、まだしんどそう。
そうやってそのまま全部で6匹！産みました。

その日の夜だけ、部屋の中で世話をしました。

だけど、ぼくたちのアパートではないので、翌日には外に出しました。

母猫は子どもたちを安全な場所に連れて行きました。

今日も母猫はぼくたちに会いに来ました。

子どもたちが元気に育ってくれるとうれしいなと思います。


こんなことは、日本では絶対に起こらないことだと思います。

貴重な経験で、とても感動的でした。
ネコはぼくたちに手伝ってほしかったのかもしれません。


ということで、今回は以上です。

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！
