EVERYONE'S DOING THEM!
If you search the internet you will discover that workshops are a teaching opportunity that isn't focused on marketing, whereas webinars are built to teach and sell at the same time. It's a lot more about training and learning than it is about selling, but there will always be a pitch at the end of a webinar.

Then there are seminars...
An in-person seminar is more or less dependent on attendees' ability to physically attend the event, so there haven't been many of them during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has been problematic for some businesses but it has gone some way towards reducing carbon footprints.

Wikipedia has defined these 2 event types individually:

A seminar is ‘a meeting held for the exchange of useful information by members of a common business community.’

A webinar is 'an interactive seminar conducted via the World Wide Web. Usually a live presentation, lecture, or workshop that happens in real-time, as users participate through chatting, video-chatting, file-sharing, or asking questions with a microphone.’

Time for a masterclass!
Workshops progress from theory to practice, with a focus on grasping key tools or skills. Masterclasses are specialized classes in which students attain their learning objectives via in-depth practice and thorough guidance.

This is a step-by-step guide to shine during interviews with active listening:

Before the Interview:

Research: Understanding the company culture and the specific role helps you anticipate questions and tailor your responses. This demonstrates focus and genuine interest.
During the Interview:

Minimize Distractions: Silence your phone, arrive early to avoid last-minute jitters, and focus solely on the interviewer.

Power of Presence: Maintain eye contact (not staring) and an open posture that conveys attentiveness.

Listen Verbally and Nonverbally: Pay close attention to the interviewer's words, tone, and body language. A stressed tone might indicate a challenging aspect of the job, while positive body language reflects their enthusiasm.

Engage with Nonverbal Cues:  Use subtle nods and smiles to show you're following along. Leaning in slightly demonstrates genuine interest.

The Art of the Pause: Don't jump in to fill silences. Give the interviewer time to complete their thoughts and gauge their reaction to your responses.

Clarify and Confirm:  When unsure, politely ask clarifying questions. This shows you're engaged and want to understand their expectations clearly.

Paraphrase and Summarize: Briefly restate key points in your own words. This demonstrates comprehension and allows the interviewer to correct any misunderstandings.

Active Listening in Action:  Throughout the interview, weave active listening techniques into your responses.  For example, "That sounds like a very fast-paced environment.  Can you tell me more about the team dynamic?"

After the Interview:

Thank You Note: Reiterate your interest in the role and mention a specific detail gleaned through active listening. This shows you were truly engaged and attentive.
By actively listening, you demonstrate not only strong communication skills but also genuine interest in the company and the role. This sets you apart from other candidates and increases your chances of landing your dream job!

"Green Eggs and Ham" is a fun book by Dr. Seuss. It's about Sam-I-Am who tries to get someone to eat green eggs and ham. The story is easy to understand, with funny rhymes and colorful pictures. It teaches that trying new things can be a good adventure. Even if English isn't your first language, you'll enjoy this silly story!

Expresiones coloquiales con la palabra ojo Parte 3

 The idiom "to take its toll" means to be damaging or harmful, cause loss or destruction. It is often used to describe the negative effects of something over time, such as a health problem taking its toll on both sides. The phrase is derived from the taking of a toll, like a  tax. It can also be used to describe the negative effects of stress on people, such as the constant stress taking its toll on emergency hospital staff.
