Since our last class, Alexa submitted her application to Amazon. However, due to the high volume of applications, it is taking longer for her to get a response than anticipated (one week). The upside is that it buys Alexa time to prepare for her interviews. Before the session, Alexa sent me the six principles she should focus on. She explained that her contact at Amazon guided her to them. In our session, Alexa shared a couple of stories from her past job experience using the STAR method. The first story embodied the principle “Deliver Results” (among others) and the second one “Customer Obsession”. Tomorrow Alexa can practice telling stories that embody the other principles. I also think we can develop the two preliminary stories from last time further. If she has specific examples, it will strengthen her case. I appreciated that she drew on different past experiences from her varied career and I’m looking forward to speaking with her more!

In our class last week, Alexa and I spent more time updating her résumé. Most significantly, we added a summary to the top and removed the “Additional Education and Coursework” section from the bottom as it’s less relevant now that Alexa is further along in her professional career. Additionally, we changed some of the diction in her past experiences to align with keywords from the job description. Alexa also told me about the dinner she had with one of Amazon’s current executive assistants. What a great referral to have and it sounds like Alexa’s meeting with her increased her overall confidence! I’m sure Alexa will have no problem showing up as an “Amazonian”. I hope Alexa will continue to keep me in the loop (pun intended) during her job application process. I’d love to help her practice for her interviews (apparently Amazon does about 11 of them for their prospective assistants!)

It was great to see Alexa after more than a year and a half since our last session. She brought me up to speed regarding her work and personal life. The primary reason Alexa booked this session was to get help with updating her resume as she is back in the job market, this time as an aspiring executive assistant. During our hour together, we focused on rewriting the bullet points for her two most recent positions, to include more impressive and sophisticated diction. I would be glad to continue assisting Alexa during her job hunt.

Through my initial conversation with Alexa yesterday, I gained a lot of information about her background. I would like to help her identify a list of transferable skills she’s gained from her education, volunteer, and past two positions, which will benefit her and her employer(s) in her future career as an environmental engineer. A detailed feedback report will be sent via Skype within two days.

    Hello Phil,


    If we compare these mass shooting numbers to any other developed country, they are much smaller or even non-existent.

    But this is not what my question is about.

    My question is about mental health treatment.

    Tell you me something about myself you (text to job interviews)

    Hello guys! I'm practicing to job interviews. I will be glad if anyone could correct my errors (help me out). Thank you so much!

    I’m a communicative person. I think it’s because I used to be engaged in team activities like swimming or and volunteering. I studied advertising and I could understand many things about branding and costumers’ thoughts so. I like love (I think "love" displays more excitement) to observe observing? (I'm not sure about this one) people and learn with  from (this is a common 'Brazilian' mistake) them. I also worked with many types (kinds?) of clients and I could say that so I have the skills to handle different situations from with people. I’d like to say that I’m also a positive person and I believe that even a bad negative experience comes to teaches us something good (valuable) to us.

    Hi Daniel!

    Among all the countries in the world, the US has indeed the highest rate of gun ownership. That's a fact. But the thing is, do you really think that gun restrictions would water down the problem? Is this what are you saying?

    Btw, thank you guys for your opinion!

    1st Draft Persuasive Essay - Everyday Reading: A Powerful Way of Learning a Second Language Introduction Learning a second language is something that many people are afraid of, even though this is totally possible for anyone at any age. What concerns people the most is the fact that this process requires time management and significant interaction in the target language. If you think about how you are able to speak your native language now, you can notice that this took a long time and you have been learning it little by little, by practicing it every day. It is not rocket science, but it requires dedication and a lot of time and effort. Due to this fact, I strongly believe that reading every day is a powerful tool to acquire a second language. There are many reasons why I believe this, but three are very important. It allows the reader to increase his/her vocabulary, build confidence and develop a good habit.

    Both of them are important. But in my humble opinion, science is what will make our future better, in terms of medicine and technology.
