Lucid Dreaming

"Seek the company of those who know the heart's secrets, rest beneath the tree that bears the ripest fruit. In the market of life, choose not the idle wanderer's path but the shop filled with sweetness. Not every bubbling pot holds a feast, not every pen writes truths, not every gaze sees beyond the surface, not every ocean bed holds pearls."

In today's fast-paced and competitive job market, finding the right talent is essential for any organization's success. While evaluating a candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience is important, it is equally important for HR managers to evaluate cultural fit. 

Cultural fit is the degree to which a candidate's values, work style, and personality align with the culture and values of the organization.

HR managers evaluate cultural fit because it can have a significant impact on a candidate's job performance, job satisfaction, and overall success in the role. 

When a candidate fits in with the organization's culture, they are more likely to be engaged, motivated, and committed to their work. This can lead to better performance, increased productivity, and a positive impact on the organization's bottom line.

Cultural fit also promotes a positive work environment, where employees feel comfortable, supported, and valued. When employees share common values and work styles, they are more likely to collaborate effectively and work together towards common goals. 

This can create a sense of unity and team spirit, which can boost morale and lead to a more positive work culture.

In conclusion, evaluating cultural fit is an important part of the hiring process. HR managers must carefully evaluate a candidate's values, work style, and personality to determine whether they will fit in with the organization's culture. This can help to foster a positive work environment, increase employee engagement and productivity, and ultimately contribute to the organization's success.

Express to Impress

Common English Phrases

There's a video on TikTok in which a user takes a jar of seasoning called "Everything But the Bagel" and carefully separates the ingredients into small piles to find out the secret to the recipe.

The video has been viewed almost 2 million times — a sign of just how popular this seasoning mix, made by US company Trader Joe's, has become.

People like to put it on top of bagels and use it in lots of different meals.

However, fans of the mix have been finding out that it's not welcome everywhere in the world.

Signs have been posted at Incheon Airport in Seoul, telling passengers they can't bring jars of the seasoning into the country.

The reason is that one of the ingredients is banned in South Korea.

The mix contains things like sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion and salt — but poppy seeds are the problem.

Poppy seeds are banned in South Korea because they are narcotic-related items, according to the airport. The ban is not new but travelers have said that airports are now cracking down on the seasoning mix.

The seeds are also banned in a number of other countries, including Saudi Arabia and Singapore.

The poppy plant is used to make drugs like heroin and morphine, although the seeds don't contain any opiates.

However, the country worries that the seeds could be contaminated by opiates.

In fact, in the US, members of the armed forces have been advised not to eat products containing poppy seeds in case they affect the results of drug tests.

Drug tests can be very sensitive but experts say that it would be almost impossible to eat enough poppy seeds to feel any narcotic effect.
