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.

How do you improve your IELTS band score. In this podcast I’m going to give you 1 simple strategy to help you get the band score you need.

The technique I’m going to teach you is paraphrase. Yes, paraphrasing is very important, and it’s something that IELTS examiners listen out for. In the IELTS band descriptors you will see that you can not get a band score 6 or 7 unless you can paraphrase effectively.

Let me give you an example.

Let’s say in part 1 the examiner asks you about your hometown and asks you this question: Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?

You should answer the question by choosing a synonym for foreigners, for example, tourists.

You could also choose a synonym  for destination, for example visit.

So, when the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer like this:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown. 

So, you’ve answered the question using paraphrase.

Instead of foreigners you said tourists and instead of destination, you said visit.

Let me teach you again. If the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown.

こんにちは！
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。

前回に続いて、海外旅行の話をします。

もう出てしまいましたが、乗り継ぎでシンガポールにいました！久しぶりの出国だったので、めっちゃ緊張しました。

そして、いろいろと違いました。
デジタル化、少人数化が進んでいると感じました。


アプリを使って、チェックイン、搭乗までスムーズにいけました。

国内でJet starを使って、北海道と大阪の間を行き来しています。ですので、アプリを使って、チェックインをして、搭乗券がQRコードだけでいけるのは知っていました。

それで今回はシンガポール航空でチケットを取ったので、アプリをダウンロードして、予約番号などを入力すると、QRコードをiPhoneのWalletに追加することができました。

ここまでできると国内とほぼ同じなので安心ですね。

チェックインもアプリで事前にオンラインでできたので、荷物を預ける時も、時間が短くてすみました。


出国手続きをするところも、前は結構並んだ記憶がありましたが、遅い時間というのもあると思いますが、今回はあっという間でした。というのも、機械にパスポートを読み取らせて、同じ人物がカメラで自動でチェックされます。

それがクリアになれば、そのままもう出国、という感じでした。本当にあっという間で少しビックリしました。


それと、シンガポールの入国審査も事前にオンラインですませておくことができました。今回は乗り換えだけなんですが、少しだけ時間があるので、ぼくの日本語レッスンを受けてくれている、シンガポールの方と会いました。
その話もまたしますね！

事前にオンラインで済ませておくことがありますが、その分、旅行の時は待ち時間なども少なく、とてもスムーズで快適だなと思いました。

本当にいい時代ですね。


ということで、今回はここまでです。
続き、また話しますね！

今回も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！
