I've used a voice-to-text transcription for you (it may not be grammatically correct). I hope you enjoy reading and listening, enjoy :)

Hi, I'm Anatoly here and today I'd like to talk about vague language in an interview. 

So what is vague language? 

When you're trying to communicate something to an interviewer and you use vague terms like I'd like to help the company achieve its goals, I like this industry overall. Or this position is very exciting. 

Can you hear that there's no specificity when it comes to showing exactly that you've thought about an issue, showing the recruiter that you've gone through their website, you've looked at their products, you've considered their mission and vision and maybe you've seen their market share or the size of the company or if you've dug a little deeper. 

Maybe you've seen some reviews from people who work there, like on Glassdoor, right? 

Because you want to come into an interview from the perspective of being an employee. What does that mean? It's knowing enough so that when they're communicating with you, they feel like you're one of them.

And when they feel that you are one of them, what happens? They start to, well, it starts to diminish the doubt in them or they start to have less and less doubt about you because they are like, well, he or she is one of us. They communicate as if they know exactly who we are or they use the vocabulary that we use or they are aligned with our mission.

Enjoy the rest of the podcast and let me know how valuable it is to you.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【命运和选择】的话题。
这两天，一个名为《回村三天，二舅治好了我的精神内耗》的视频在网上火了起来。两天的时间，1900多万的播放量、12万条评论、300多万的点赞和投币、100多万的收藏和转发。视频讲述了生活在农村的二舅平凡又有力量的一生，感动了很多人。二舅小学和初中都是全校第一，因为发烧后医生的错误治疗导致一辈子残疾。但是二舅并没有怨天尤人，他辛勤地做木工活赚钱，不仅领养了一个小女孩，还照顾着八十多岁的老母亲。除此之外，他还免费帮村里的邻居修各种电器。如果不是因为那次意外，二舅的人生会是完全不一样的结局。但是二舅从来没有这样想过，他的人生拿到了一副烂牌，但是他把这副烂牌打得很精彩。
作者说自己是个四肢健全、上过大学的人，又生在一个充满机遇的时代，他理应度过一个比二舅更为饱满的人生，而不应该因为一些暂时的小困难而陷入精神内耗。我想这也是很多人看了这个视频后很触动的原因，我们在二舅身上看到了勇气和对生活的热爱。
如果你是二舅，你会做什么样的选择呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

命运和选择 Fate and choice（Advanced level）

Today's phrase is "to be rigged" which means something has been set up to operate in some kind of unfair way. 

Today's phrase is to be rigged. Now when something is rigged, it is believed that it's operated using some kind of dishonest behaviour to promote a desired outcome. Now, let me just give you some examples to show you what I mean:

So, if we say, for example, 

The job vacancy has been advertised in the newspaper but I believe it's been rigged. We all know who's going to win.

 The football match was definitely rigged. I don't think the football players were playing in their usual way today. 

The competition to win a holiday in the local newspaper has been won by an employee of that newspaper. That was definitely rigged.
