  • The biggest job interview mistakes, according to LinkedIn

    • The 10 biggest interview mistakes, according to hiring managers: You won’t ‘get that same level of grace anymore’
      • The article from CNBC discusses common mistakes job candidates make during interviews, as identified by LinkedIn. These include not preparing adequately by researching the company or role, which can make candidates seem uninterested. Poor communication skills, such as failing to articulate thoughts clearly or not listening well, can also hinder the interview process. Additionally, having a negative attitude, like speaking poorly about previous employers or colleagues, can leave a bad impression. Both overconfidence and underconfidence are detrimental, as a balanced demeanor is crucial. Ignoring non-verbal cues, such as body language and eye contact, can negatively impact the interview. Lastly, not asking questions can signal a lack of interest or curiosity about the role and company. Proper preparation and self-awareness can help avoid these pitfalls.

  • Why it’s never too late to learn a language as an adult

    • the process can feel daunting
    • the earlier you learn new skills, the easier they are to pick up.
    • The idea that
    • can play a huge role in
    • has been heavily debated in the
    • to quickly adapt to
    • the idea has helped perpetuate doubt
    • grammar, syntax, and semantics
      • syntax focuses on the structure and arrangement of words in sentences, grammar encompasses both syntax and morphology [the structure of words], and semantics deals with the meaning of language at various levels of analysis.
    • thwarting
      • to stop something from happening or someone from doing something
    • there is no ceiling
    • expanding your verbal horizons
    • immersion, make a bigger difference in language learning success
    • factors like a person’s natural ability, their previous linguistic experience, and the consistency of their lessons affect the language learning process.
    • It’s impossible and unlikely to expect one individual to follow such a strict schedule
    • has widened accessibility to foreign education
    • the rise of language learning apps
    • at their own pace
    • “No one can learn, as an adult, a new language unless they love it and unless they make it part of their life,”
    • you need to have reasons for it and the time to invest [in] it
    • have their own unique strengths and weaknesses
    • when it comes to grasping new connections
    • Children tend to learn new languages more intuitively
    • may be forced to adapt
    • employ custom strategies to hone their language learning experience
    • a lot more is going on
    • you more or less have gotten as good as you're going to get in a new language within four or five years
    • to enhance their cognitive health and social lives

  • What we gain by recognising the role of chance in life | Psyche Ideas

    • Appreciating the world is random can foster perseverance, gratitude for our own luck and empathy for the plight of others
    • many of us still believe that our fortunes can be engineered
    • Luck plays an ungovernable and unpredictable role in our lives, which we can’t fully mitigate through preparation or diligence
    • ‘gambler’s fallacy’
    • we find it hard to reconcile the difference between the odds of large and small numbers
    • We like to believe in balance
    • we like to believe the world is just and fair
    • Chance and luck have little interest in our notions of balance and deservedness
    • In life, bad things can happen to good people, and good things can happen to bad people
    • Accidents take place, illnesses strike, and unlucky breaks occur indiscriminately
    • the randomness of the universe is blind to any sense of justice
    • we should not deceive ourselves into believing that the world is always fair.
    • It is simply a matter of chance – of fortuitous luck.
    • Rather than searching for blame or a causal reason, randomness can relieve us from such a burden
    • Many decisions affecting us involve some element of randomness and luck and these decisions may have little to do with our abilities or credentials
    • We cannot control randomness and chance, but we can increase the odds that chance will shine in our favour by increasing the number of opportunities for a particular result to play out
    • Recognising and accepting chance and luck also fosters a heightened sense of gratitude
    • This is reflected in the saying ‘count your blessings’, but is slightly different in that it recognises the precariousness of those blessings
    • can help us develop a greater sense of both humility regarding our own accomplishments and empathy for the plight of others
    • This splashes cold water on the belief that we live in a world of strict meritocracy where we deserve all that comes our way
    • By recognising the ubiquitousness of chance in our lives, we are in a much better position to empathise with the misfortunes of others.
    • We can begin to see the world as it is, rather than how we imagined it to be.
