The goal of hiring managers is not just to hire people who need a job. It’s to hire people who believe in their organization, its mission and the work that’s involved in the job position. Every hiring manager knows: Hire people to do a job and they’ll work for your money. Hire people who believe in the work and they’ll work for their passion.\n\nAnd this is not a case of “fake it until you make it.” You have to be genuine about your belief in an organization and its mission. That means you have to have researched the industry, the company, and the position – and be able to show how your goals in life align with the company’s mission. Having done so will shape the impression you convey as a candidate, the way you answer traditional questions, and the way you demonstrate that you’re the right candidate for the job.\n\nThis course is the second in a five-course specialization. We recommend that courses #1, #2 and #3 be taken in sequence. Course #4 - on resume and cover letter writing - can be taken in any sequence, while course #5 is the capstone for the specialization as a whole.\n\nThis course can be thought of as "Interviewing I", while course #3 is "Interviewing II." Course #3 covers more advanced interview formats, including behavioral and situational interviews - along with the special case of telephone screenings. The logic for including telephone screenings - which happen at the start of the interview process - late in this specialization on interviewing is that those screenings, while happening early in the process, involve all the skills that you'll learn from course #1 through course #3.\n\nAs for this course, it will teach you how to:\n\n1.\tDo thorough research on a company of your choice.\n\n2. Prepare for those critical first 3-5 minutes of an interview (when many recruiters say an interview is either won or lost).\n\n3. Prepare for the all important "Tell Me About Yourself" question.\n\n4. Prepare for traditional interview questions.\n\n5. Use strategies for handling the salary question. We don't teach you salary negotiation techniques, but we do teach you how to avoid putting yourself in a weak negotiation position.\n\n6.\tPrepare an elevator speech - all three variations.\n\n7.\tUse persuasive speech techniques to present professional accomplishments and qualifications in a manner that conveys benefits to a potential employer.\n\n8.\tUse persuasive speech techniques to convince a potential employer of your interest, motivation and preparation for a particular position.\n\n9.\tAdapt your nonverbal communication style to the expectations of English-speaking interviewers.

Взаимодействие языков и культур: сохраняем и расширяем свою идентичность (на примере изучения татарского языка как родного и иностранного)

National Research Tomsk State University

Онлайн-курс занял 3 место на конкурсе EdCrunch Award -2018 OOC в спецноминации "Культура, история, философия"\n\nВ данном курсе изучение татарского языка основано на усвоении важных составляющих культурного и языкового взаимодействия этого языка с русским, что способствует посредством изучения языка погружению в историю ареала его функционирования и предоставляет возможность прочувствовать общее наследие наших русских и татарских предков. \nСлушатели также осваивают коммуникативные методические приемы организации работы при изучении татарского языка как в качестве родного, так и иностранного в разных условиях социального взаимодействия.\nЕсли у вас татарские корни, изучение татарского языка и культуры в естественной среде и с использованием современных методических наработок позволит вам сблизиться со своими родными, больше общаться c родителями, бабушками и дедушками, внести вклад в сохранение татарского языка как национального наследия. \nЕсли вы относитесь к другой этнической принадлежности, приобщение к татарскому языку раскроет вам мир культуры ваших соседей, закономерности изменений вашего родного языка; вы укрепите свое «когнитивное здоровье», потренировав нейронные связи, отвечающие за переключение языковых кодов.
