reflection of mock interview

 

 

 

 

Today, I had mock job interview in the class. I've intended to upload recording video file on my blog, but I decided not to do becuase you will laught at me XD! Interview always makes me nervous and I repeat my mistakes again and again. I hope it will be dwindling. So, let's look at my mistates!

First, I'm fast talker. Generally, I was talking too fast and it did not make senses at all. I need to emphasis to some words and pauses between words and phrases.
Give me an example with the real interivew answer of mine.

 "Can you give me an example how you are optimistic?"

 "Ah...Even though i took the hardship/ i just took/ everything in a positive (way)/ and  i can deal  with/ in a good way /with my positive mind./ Everything, i just thinking /in a good way/ with my positive thinking of my mind.

Yeah, i know this is a terrible answer but i should face the facts...): If I express this answer with "Even if i face hardship along my way, i must never give up and keep try to do my best with my positive thinking of my mind", it would be better.

Second, mistake some words. It's quiet simple, but i need to reconfirm my vocabulary again.
cameover(X) overcame(O)
opstidious(X) fastidious(O)
fastidious    꼼꼼한, 철저한  (=strict, meticulous)

+ I realized the necessity of extending my vocabulary when I speak in English.

It was very interesting and meaningful time to think carefully about my future and prepare the interview.

Job Hunting Part#1, Tell Me About Yourself

https://youtu.be/OW-yxxPMtro

Today, I had job interview in my class, recording me on video with help from my partnet. The first question was 'Tell me about yourself'. It sounds very simple question at first, but it was totally not.  I spoke incoherently from beggining to the end and repeated the word.

Let's check it together...

Friend: Tell me about yourself.

Me: My name is Cho yeonji. I'm currently studying at the Busan University of Foregin studies and major in Enlgish & Vietnamese. I have lots of practical experiences in this part. I had applied for the KOICA last year. I had worked as an interpreter for cooperation, international business in Vietanam. With my pratical experinece from the past, I believe I'm the most adaptive person in this field. I'm flexible and adaptive well in any circustances. Even if i encounter hardship along the way, I never give up and keep trying to do best. In the end I've always got good result. I will never fail to your expectations.

I don't know what did i say.... My mind just went blank when I was talking at the same time. Anyway, I found two problems in my interview. The first problem was I didn't mention which company and field do i apply for. Second, Eye contact. I always limite my eye contact to the upper side, not in front of me. I had not reconized that I avoided the camara, but I could find this problem by hangout after I look at it, at first. I need to break my habit! (I have tried to do but I think i have a fear of camara, especailly It feels strange when i looked at my own reflection on the screen.)


 So, I introduce a video for you which is interview skills questions and answers tutorial. You need to understand  what is the intention in asking this question before you answer. This video will help you to understand what 'Tell me about yourself' means and the good answers! Let's taining together :)

First SHELF Project with Sia - Elastic Heart

This is my First SHELF project video :https://youtu.be/NWXlDqUlCP0

I had done my first SHELF project with Sia- Elastic Heart, analyzing and discussing this music video with my friends on hanogut. Sia, no longer shows her face in public, is one of the biggest musical geniuses in Hollywood. She is the Australian singer/songwriter. I love her husky voice, song, even her costume with a distincitive style.

The music video of Elastic- Heart, feat. Shia LaBeouf & Maddie Ziegler, has been a controversy becuase some people think it's kind of child pronography and very thin line between art and paedophilia. Why people calling Shia a pedophile? Shia and Maddie aren't performing sextual activities... ): Dancing is a very intimate thing to do. Maybe becuase their nude colored outfits might be caused this problem. Why they decided to perfrom with wearing the nude colored outfits, then? One of my friend answered to this question that Sia wants to attract the attention on the dancing and not on what they're wearing. I'm totally in agreement (:
If I try to see this music video as a art form, it would be easy to understand her intention.

Maddie is obviously gifted dancer. She is now 12-year-old... Wow..!! Can you imagine?
She is in the spotlight becuase of her incredible dance and expression in music video, Sia- Chandelier and Elastic Heart.  I'm always immersed in her dance !

In this video, Maddie is definitely more wile and crazy than Shia. Shia is so much more composed and in control of his movement. Some people say Maddie and Shia are family and some people not.
But the truth is Maddie and Shia are essentionally the same person in this video. They are the different scopes of Sia's mind. Maddie could be her soft, innocent, childlike side, and Shia could be her rough, strong and serious side. There are times in her life when she fight with herself. She also can not get rid of a part of herself. That's what's happening when Maddie tries to leave the cage without Shia. She can't leave because she is a part of who she is no matter how hard she tries to get rid of her.

Whenever i see her music video, It feels like a musical art. Sia is amazing artist. I can't wait for her new song and the next video !
