Second Life!




Hey, I went to second life to play and practice my english a little bit and I think it was really fun, I liked it.. I went to a club to dance but actually I didnt know how to dance so I took some screem captions for you, then I went to a beautiful place, a romantic garden (I went alone, just to know the place!!!) There I talked with two peoples, they are from Holland and they told me they would like to visit Venezuela someday! hope you all had so much fun in SL as me, cheers!

Unit 6. Job interview

Hey everyone! I have here some tips for you for job interviews! Enjoy :D


•What happens during a "job interview"?
Sometimes a job interview is a few minutes talking ,meet and greet chatting and then getting into the meat of the interview .

•What should I wear for my job interview?
Always dress very professionally for every interview.

The first thing you can do in an interview is to make a great impression and always smile. This will set a very positive tone for the rest of the interview.

•How do I handle an interview in a restaurant or cafe?
Employers will ask you to have a meal so you have to know your dining etiquette, you have to stay focused on you interviewer and speak at an audible level.

The best thing to do is to make sure that you are very high energy, upbeat, you use a lot of inflection in voice, and, because that's all you have to make that great first impression is your voice.
