Things you shoud never do at a job interview

Yesterday in class we watched this video from the famous sitcom Friends. I think it gives an example of the things you shoudn't do if you want to nail the job interview. I recommend you to watch it cause is side-splitting.

And if you missed yesterday's class, this is the activity we were doing

Why you will fail to have great careers

Here you are a funny video about the reasons why you are not going to get a great career.

Today's talker is Larry Smith. He is an instructor of economics at the University of Waterloo. Throughout his several decades of teaching at the University, he has taught both introductory microeconomics, macroeconomics and entrepreneurship courses.

Smith has also advised several of his former students as far as how to start-up a business, position the business and in general has given business advice to these start-ups. His advice is received by most as generally helpful in the business they are starting up, and has been used in the past to create powerful start-ups.

After you watch it, think about these questions: Do you think it's all about excuses? Or is it something different?

How to write a good cover letter

This week we are working in class with a unit related to the world of work.

In your daily lives, you may have to apply for several job positions and if you are considering to do it at an international level, you'll have to do it in English.

As I told you yesterday, writing a good cover letter (application letter) is as important as writing a good resume (or even more than that)

Here you are the information related to what a cover letter is. You also have a sample one and some useful links to get some inspiration.

Remember that the deadline to handle your letter will expire on Thursday the 21st.

See you
