My Daily Routine in Turkish: Natural Intermediate-Level Conversation

While the focus of job interviews is typically on skills, experience, and cultural fit, understanding the potential for micromanagement can be a strategic advantage. By recognizing the signs of a micromanager during the interview process, candidates can make informed decisions about accepting a position.

A micromanager often exhibits specific behaviors during interviews. They might excessively inquire about minute details of past roles, demonstrating a potential for future over-involvement. Overemphasis on control, rather than outcomes, could be another red flag. Conversely, candidates who have experienced micromanagement can leverage their insights during interviews. They can highlight their ability to work independently, problem-solving skills, and resilience in challenging environments.

Preparing for potential micromanagement involves understanding your own tolerance for control. Reflect on past experiences and identify your preferred work style. During the interview, ask questions that reveal the company's management style. Inquire about team autonomy, decision-making processes, and performance expectations. By proactively addressing this issue, candidates can increase the likelihood of finding a suitable work environment and avoid falling victim to micromanagement.

Ultimately, recognizing the potential for micromanagement is a valuable tool for job seekers. By being prepared and asking the right questions, candidates can make informed decisions about their career paths and increase their chances of finding a fulfilling and productive role.

Une sacrée galette
Tous les animaux de la forêt ont l'habitude de se réunir pour fêter les rois. Cette année, c'est Kipic, le hérisson, qui achète la galette.
De sa vie, Kipic n'a jamais eu la fève. Alors il s'est arrangé avec le pâtissier qui en a placé vingt-cinq dans la galette. Le hérisson est certain, cette fois-ci, d'être le roi.
Le sanglier a fait les parts. Le lièvre était caché sous la table. Eh bien, c'est à peine croyable : la chèvre a eu cinq fèves, le lièvre trois, le sanglier six, le cerf quatre, l'ours deux, la souris cinq et Kipic... rien du tout. Quelle malchance !

Histoire 5 - Une sacrée galette

Learn Greek with Marianna!

A2 level-Exam preparation!

“Well, as I’m still a uni  student, doing things on the cheap is something I've had to learn over the last few years, and just the weekend before last, myself and my 2 best mates had a really wonderful day out that cost next to nothing.




It was a bank holiday weekend, and we really wanted to have a special day out, as the weather forecast was perfect, and we really needed to get away from our studies. 




To do anything in the city, especially during a holiday weekend, always costs a lot of money, and as we were flat broke,  we decided to look for somewhere to go outside of the city. One of the guys came up with the idea of riding our bikes to a very beautiful park and lake, about 15 km outside of the city. 




We all agreed it would be a great idea, and each chipped in some cash, so we could buy some nice food in the local supermarket, as there is a barbeque area in the park which is free to use.
It turned out to be a really wonderful and special day, and was as cheap as chips, as riding our bikes meant there was no transport cost, and entry to the park was actually free. I think in total we spent about 24 dollars on the food between the three of us, and it really goes to show that it’s still possible to have a really special day out that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
