健康码和行程码，你了解过吗？
如果你住在中国，你会发现，疫情期间，人人都在用的，除了口罩，就是健康码了。
在这个“绿码走遍天下，红码寸步难行”的时期，无论你是进超市，还是进公司大楼，听到最多的话就是：来，健康码出示一下！
那么，这种健康码是怎么逐渐流行起来的？
2020年2月，中国疫情正处于最严重的时间。人们应该如何生活和工作成为焦点。此时，一个叫做“钟毅”的警察接到了政府的紧急任务——制定健康码。这是一个全新的想法。他们没有任何可以参考的东西。因此，颜色、图形结构、空间安排等每一个细节都需要反复确定。而这个过程，钟毅和他的团队用了48个小时。更新系统近30多次，接听咨询电话380多个，走访不同地区50多个。最终，他们制定出来了。感染了新冠病毒的人，医院会把病人的信息上传到健康码里面。他的健康码就会变成红色。跟他接触过的人健康码会变成黄色。而其他的人，则是绿色。当天下午，健康码正式向全国人民开放使用。“健康码”普及全国，为中国的防疫工作提供了一张地图。
行程码是由中国的通信公司制定的一种二维码。手机定位能告诉你14天内到过的所有地方的信息。在确保信息安全的情况下，为疫情防控、道路通行、出入境等提供了可靠的技术。
面对新冠病毒，中国实行的是“清零”政策，健康码和行程码的作用就体现出来了。根据你的行程和所接触人的情况，健康码和行程码会出现绿色、黄色、红色。绿色代表你很健康，没有感染新冠病毒。黄色代表你可能接触过感染新冠病毒的人。红色代表你跟感染新冠病毒的人有非常近的关系，你有90%的可能已经感染病毒了。

什么是健康码和行程码？

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.

Behavioral Interview Questions Explained: Episode 69

Every culture has its own unique tendencies when it comes to pronouncing certain sounds in other languages. For example, where I was born, many people find it tricky to pronounce sounds like 'f' and 'p.' Even simple English words like 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 can feel like torture.

For this episode, I’d like to focus on my Japanese friends. I know there are certain English sounds that can require extra effort to pronounce. My hope is that today’s episode will give you some helpful insights and tips to make those tricky sounds easier to master.

𝟭.	𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 >< 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗚
🪄 His heart sank when he heard her sing.
🪄 He thanked her for the song she had sung.

𝟮.	𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞 >< 𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗞
🪄 Watch out, boy! I think your toy will sink in the water.
🪄 When the ship was sinking, he began thinking, "Is this my last day on earth?"

𝟯.	𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 >< 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗘
🪄 How dare you enter my room when I'm not there!
🪄 It's very dark over there. Do you dare to go there?

𝟰.	𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 >< 𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗬
🪄 These blueberries are very sweet.
🪄 Actually, I like all kinds of berries very much.

𝟱.	𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 >< 𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧
🪄 When it's right, the light turns green. When it's wrong, the light turns red.
🪄 Do you know what led the light on the right to turn red?
