Hai, teman-teman! 
Apa kabar? saya harap semua sehat ya.
Akhir-akhir ini, saya merasa bosan dengan rutinitas setiap hari. Jadi, kemarin saya ganti suasana, dan coba membuat kue pakai resep baru! Saya tidak jago membuat kue, dan hasilnya…. setidaknya saya bisa makan kue buatan saya sendiri. ^^ 

"Ganti suasana", di Bahasa Jepang adalah 気分転換に, dan di Bahasa Inggris adalah "for a change". Ketika seseorang berkata "saya mau ganti suasana," ini artinya dia ingin meninggalkan situasi atau suasana yang membosankan ke suasana berbeda. Ini juga bisa berarti, mengubah suasana hati dari sedih menjadi ceria, dari tegang menjadi rileks. 

Saya pernah membaca cara-cara untuk ganti suasana yaitu mendengarkan musik yang berbeda dari biasanya, potong rambut dengan gaya baru, jogging dengan rute baru, atau juga membersihkan kamar yang sudah beberapa bulan tidak dibersihkan, seperti kamar saya, haha.. 

Jadi sesekali, ayo kita ganti suasana dan warnai hidup kita! 
Sampai jumpa lagi! ^^ 

Akhir minggu

Ganti suasana

Whether one should learn an American or British accent is a constant debate among English learners. Here's my take on it. To give me suggestions for future podcast episodes follow me on Twitter @tanatswaforever.

Do I Really Need an Accent Part 2

Behavioral interview questions are a strategic tool used to assess a candidate's fit for a role.  The core principle is that past behavior is a strong predictor of future actions. By prompting candidates to share specific examples (often following the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action, Result), interviewers gain valuable insights into a candidate's:

Skills: Behavioral questions can target specific skills listed in the job description. For instance, "Tell me about a time you had to solve a complex problem with limited resources."

Decision-Making: These questions uncover a candidate's thought process under pressure. An example could be, "Describe a situation where you had to make a difficult decision with incomplete information."

Communication: Exploring past communication challenges reveals a candidate's ability to articulate ideas and navigate conflict. For example, "Tell me about a time you disagreed with a colleague's approach. How did you communicate your perspective?"

Behavioral interviewing helps identify:

Problem-Solving Approach: By asking about past challenges, insight is gained into the candidate's problem-solving methodology.

Work Style: Understanding how a candidate tackled past situations sheds light on their preferred work style (independent, collaborative, etc.).

Company Culture Fit: These questions reveal a candidate's values and work ethic, allowing for an assessment of their alignment with the company culture.

Benefits:

Reduced Bias: Focusing on past actions minimizes the influence of unconscious bias based on appearance or background.

Increased Predictability: Understanding a candidate's past performance in similar situations improves the likelihood of future success in the role.

Deeper Candidate Evaluation: Behavioral questions move beyond a resume, revealing a more complete picture of the candidate.
