Resume
My last nightmare!
A few months ago I decided it was time to start my job search. That was the first step, deciding, but what it comes next is not easy at all.
Doing a resume in your own language is complicated and boring, but writing it in a foreign language is a nightmare. It is not only the spelling or the vocabulary; it's also the grammar, format, and the cultural background.
One of the good things a bout being an immigrant is all the new international friends that you make who would always be willing to help you no matter what. Of course thats a very good advantage, although, it could get tricky if everyone has a different opinion about everything.
My first resume draft was a disaster, but step by step, and with lots of help it became something good enough to use for my search.
After several editions and thousands of corrections, I sent my first application. I was excited and proud of my hard work. The joy was short-lived. My Spanish friend wrote me back the next day to tell me: "Bea! You have a spelling mistake in your first sentence!"0 votedMarch 18, 20152- In the sample sentences that you provided, B would have a stronger feeling to it. "Pretty much" is typically used to mean relatively or somewhat. So the first sentence may lead the listener to believe that you are saying that you look younger, but not by a large amount. In the second sentence, the listener is lead to believe that you look many years younger than you actually are. I hope that this helps. :)0 votedMarch 18, 20150
- The best place to live and work in the US depends on a few different factors. Do you prefer living in or near a large city? What type of job are you trying to get? If you are just looking for the area with the highest job availability and the lowest cost of living, I recommend the Midwest. States such as Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas often have many jobs available. These places also have many apartments and homes available for rent. I hope that this helped! :)0 votedFebruary 22, 20151
Spanish of Venezuela
Hi, how are you? It's nice to meet you. I'm from Venezuela, and I can say to you that here you can learn a lot of new words that you can only hear in Venezuela. For example:
- Carro: Coche
- Chevere : bien
- pana: amigo
- Cambur. Banana
- Atacar: Enamorar a una mujer (Voy atacar a Luisa)
-Arrocero: persona que se la pasa en fiestas.
- Achantado: persona muy pasiva, timido.
- Balurdo: persona tosca, patan.
- Burda: superlativo (Burda de bueno).
- Bonche: fiesta (El bonche estuvo chevere)
- Biyuyo: dinero.
- Birra: cerveza.
- Bajar de la mula: pagar por un tramite publico.
- Caribear: avasallar, dominar a alguien.
- Cuaima: mujer terrible (Maria es una cuaima).
- Cobre/Plata: Dinero.
My idea is that you can learn something from my country, while you correct this writing.0 votedFebruary 20, 20150
