Super Casual Japanese with Teppei

How to say "How are you doing?" in casual Japanese

Why do employers overlook so many qualified applicants? 

One common reason is that the candidates' resumes look like job descriptions. There's nothing special or impressive about them. 

To get interviews, you need to add a secret ingredient to your resume--measurable results, of course! 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress podcast to learn everything you need to know to incorporate measurable results into your resume. You'll learn what measurable outcomes you should include, how many to include, which verbs to use before sharing results, and you'll get many examples. If you need to update your resume, you won't want to miss it!

How to Write a Winning Resume by Adding Measurable Achievements

The people you meet might respond to uncertainty differently than you. Consider seeing things from their point of view and adapting a little. Listen to this story of Nicole and Susan. 

Nicole likes routines and likes to plan in advance. Every Sunday she spends the afternoon and evening at her parents’ house. Every Monday she meets her best friend for lunch and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings she goes to a café and reads. Having some control over what’s going to happen makes her feel safe. Then one day Nicole meets Susan. Susan never plans things in advance, is always late, and prefers to be flexible. She likes to make decisions based on how she’s feeling that day and feels that doing the same thing is limiting. Nicole tried to make plans to meet for coffee in advance, Susan sounds uninterested, but she never gives her definite answers. Her behavior really annoys Nicole. 

With people who don’t mind uncertainty …

Remember that you can learn a lot from the unknown and the unfamiliar.
Show flexibility.
For example:
For me, either way is fine.
Let me know what you’re comfortable with.


With people who avoid uncertainty …

Offer details when making decisions.
Provide a context with background information. 
For example:
The reason I do it this way is…
Let me explain why (I’m doing this).

Show you understand the importance of structure and plans. 
I understand the (structure/flexibility) is important / means a lot to you.
I can see why you (spend time on planning).

Today we’re talking about "Look after"

It sounds responsible, right? If you "look after" something, you’re taking care of it. You know, like when you "look after" a friend’s cat. But let’s be honest, you probably just fed it, gave it water, and then spent three hours watching Netflix

Ep.3: "Look After... But Not Too Closely"

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。


今僕たちは、アジア旅行に来ています。
約1か月の旅行です。
4つの国に行く予定です。

シンガポール
マレーシア
ベトナム
タイ

です。


今日までシンガポールにいました。
今回のPodcastでは、シンガポールの良いところがたくさんあったのでその話をします！

いろいろあるんですけど、5つあげます。


・安心
　日本と同じように安心感がありました。いろんな場所を歩きましたが、危険を感じることはありませんでした。
モールの中には日本の店がたくさんありました。
それも安心感の1つでした。

・電車がわかりやすい
　電車のlineが多くないので、わかりやすいです。
日本の電車がなになに線というのが多いので、日本人は外国の電車を理解するのが早いかもしれない、と思いました。
1度使うと覚えられるので、滞在中は何度も利用しました。

・食べ物がおいしい
　シンガポールの食べ物はとてもおいしかったです。
食べ物編のPodcastも作る予定です。
個人的には、ダンプリング、日本だと餃子ですね。
あとはバクテーもおいしかったです。

・意外と涼しい
　これは意外でした。
きっと日本よりも暑いだろうと覚悟していました。
ですが、思っていたよりも暑くなかったです。
湿度もそんなに変わらないと思いますが、日本のむし暑い感じはなかったです。
雨のあとは少し涼しくなるし、天気が変わりやすいので、曇っている時間も多かったからかもしれません。

・周りを気にせず生活している
　これは習慣的なところですね。
日本で生活していると、周りからの視線を感じたりしますが、シンガポールではそれはもちろんありませんでした。
シンガポールの人たちも、周りのことをいい意味で気にしていないように感じました。日本人は少し気楽に感じるかもしれません。


こんな感じでした！

違う国にいくと、いろんなことに気づくことができて楽しいですね。

日本の良いところにも気づいたので、そのPodcastも作りますね。


ということで、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！
