食べ物の好み（Tastes Preference in Food）

In today's podcast, I discuss how to build rapport during a job interview!

Active Listening: Demonstrate genuine interest in what the interviewer is saying by actively listening to their questions and comments. Maintain eye contact, nod occasionally, and respond thoughtfully to show that you value their input.

Mirror Body Language: Subtly mirror the body language of the interviewer to establish rapport on a subconscious level. This doesn't mean copying their every move, but rather mirroring their posture and gestures to create a sense of harmony and understanding.

Find Common Ground: Look for shared interests, experiences, or values that you can connect with the interviewer on. This could be anything from a similar educational background to a shared passion for a particular industry trend. Bringing up these commonalities can help build rapport and foster a sense of camaraderie.

Ask Thoughtful Questions: Show genuine curiosity about the company, the role, and the interviewer's experiences by asking thoughtful questions. This demonstrates that you're engaged in the conversation and eager to learn more, which can help build rapport and leave a positive impression.

Share Personal Stories (Strategically): When appropriate, share relevant personal anecdotes or experiences that showcase your skills, values, and personality. This can help humanize you in the eyes of the interviewer and create a more meaningful connection. However, be mindful of oversharing or veering off-topic, as this can detract from your professionalism.

Episode 13 (R.I.P phone) Filming in Israel
Welcome back to Streetwise English Podcast. I'm your host, Carl. Since we're on the topic of cell phones, I want to tell you another story about my favorite cell phone in the world, which is a Sony cell phone from Japan. Was a Sony cell phone from Japan. And I was taking a video of a tourist group in Tel Aviv, Israel.


So I'm an American guy, and I was with a group of Chinese tourists and I was hired to film these tourists on their trip in Israel.


It was our first day at the beach. I think it might have been our very first day in Israel. I think we arrived early in the morning at the airport. So I filmed people picking up their luggage and then we were cruising around at the beach, maybe we visited a store. I think there was a guy who played a trumpet that was kind of like made out of a bullhorn or something, a traditional horn, an old man with a beard and a, um, a hat, like the traditional Jewish people wear there in Tel Aviv.


And anyways, we were down at the beach, and this was the first time I'd seen the beach in Tel Aviv. And let me tell you, it looked like Santa Monica, California. There were people roller skating. There were people , girls in bikinis. There were surfers out in the water. People surfing in Tel Aviv. I had no idea. This is not the picture I had in my mind when thinking of Israel or Tel Aviv.


So my cell phone that I mentioned earlier that I just loved was a Sony cell phone and it was waterproof. The phone was waterproof. You could dump it in the water in a swimming pool and it would continue shooting. And I had actually filmed with it before in Spain underwater in the ocean and filmed fish swimming and everything and no problem.
So this trip though, I was in Tel Aviv  (text count limit)
