How to Have a Successful Remote Interview?

If interviews make you nervous, the thought of doing one remotely might be a relief. 1. Even if your interviewer may have a hard time seeing you sweat, they will still ask questions. Think of a phone or video interview as an extra opportunity to impress. If you create a genuine connection with someone without being in the same place as them, chances are they’ll trust your ability. 2.

● Test your equipment.

3. For a video interview, it’s important to do a trial run in advance, since they can be especially troublesome. “These are live, so it’s very important to test your connection ahead of time,” says Scott Dobroski, the director of Corporate Communication at Glassdoor.

4.

You don’t want your interviewer to think you’re in an underground place. So skip the dark, dull mood lighting. Pick a spot where the light is facing you and try to set yourself up in a relaxing atmosphere and at a comfortable distance. Ideally, have slightly an inch of space above your head.

● Take your time.

A common mistake people make is cutting someone else off in conversation. This is even easier to do when you can’t see the person you’re talking to. So even if it feels slightly unnatural, wait for a while after your interviewer finishes a sentence. 5. He may understand why. But you don’t want to come across as rushing the conversation or being more interested in hearing yourself talk than establishing a connection.

A.Get the atmosphere right.

B.But you should still take them seriously.

C.Here are three tips to make the whole process go smoothly.

D.Buy a phone or video before you have the interview.

E.Gutting him off a time or two might not be a big problem.

F.Make sure that your phone is charged and your Wi-Fi works.

G.Your interviewer will be happy to see you cut him off.

COME AND EAT HERE

Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated. It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs, roast pork, stir-flied vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. "Nothing could be better," he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. "Hello, Lao Li," he called. "Your usual?" But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.

Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He saw a sign in the window.

Tired of all that fat? Want to lose weight?
Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.
Only slimming foods served here.
Make yourself thin again!

Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. "Welcome," she said. "My name is Yong Hui. I'll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day." Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!

At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly. Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home. Perhaps with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back. So he wrote:

Want to feel fit and energetic?

Come and eat here! Discounts today!

Our food gives you energy all day!

The competition between the two restaurants was on!

On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't know.I looked round when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile.She said, “Hi, handsome.My name is Rose.I'm eighty?seven years old.Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may !” She gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young,innocent age?”I asked.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!” she told me.After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.We became instant friends.

Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk non?stop.I was always listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner.I'll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older.That doesn't take any talent or ability.The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change.Have no regrets.The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.The only people who fear death are those with regrets.” She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose”.She challenged each of us to study the lyrics (歌词) and live them out in our daily life.At the year's end she finished the college degree she had begun all those years.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Some creative people see colors when they hear different sounds. Others hear voices when they see words and numbers. What they experience is called synaesthesia(通感)。

A study at the University of Sussex in the UK is finding out how to use synacsthesia to improve your IQ and memory. The study leaders Danil Bor has been working on exploring memory for a number of year. Bor says that carrying out these tests has given them the opportunity to find out more about how we use different kinds of memory.

Bor based his latest research on something scientists already know a lot about “chunks”. He explains that this is a way of parceling out large pieces of information into smaller units (chunks), with certain features or meanings, to make it easier to remember.” When I gave you my phone number, 01274737271, you probably remember it as 012-74-73-72-71, or something similar. If you can remember 012 and then 74, you can remember the rest by its features. You can get some amazing benefits from chunks.”

In this way, synacesthesia adds extra meaningful information to things that are different to remember, such as letters, numbers, or colors. This helps us remember things betters.” All these signs are pointing towards synaesthesia being connected to greater abilities to do certain things, certain jobs.” says Bor. “So, the study began as a way to test that.”

They wanted to see if they could create a way to learn about synaesthesia, and use its benefits to help everyone. In the study, they trained volunteers for 10 minutes a day for a week. The results were not huge, but impressive.

They discovered that after training, the volunteers were able to pass the normal synaesthesia tests and their IQ jumped up about 12 points. Although Bor believes they still need to test the increase in IQ with different groups of people, the result is very impressive. “It’s very useful to increases people’s IQs. Even when the group are already quite clever, like the students who take part in this study.” he said.

How to revise for a test

Studying for tests may be one of the most difficult parts of school. 1. If you feel discouraged about an approaching test and need some directions for preparing yourself, consider using the following suggestions to help you out.

Aim foremost to understand the concepts.

Keep the important points in mind, and ignore unnecessary information. 2.

Ask for help.

When the need arises, it is best to receive help from the others. 3. You could also ask him/ her for a set of questions and answers that could help you memorize the information. You could also ask a family member or a friend for help.

Practice in everyday life.

Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them. 4. You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror, one at the table and another by the TV. This is optional but highly recommended.

5.

Find out how much you remember certain things and what’s missing. Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in. This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time. For instance, if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry, then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at.

Review often but little.

Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day. Practice takes time and if you rush, you won’t remember anything.

A. Go through what you have been learning.

B. Mark your practice tests.

C. As long as you remain focused on the main topics, you will be able to do well on the test.

D. However, even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt.

E. It can be difficult to remember the material and understand which points to study.

F. You will notice them every day and reviewing won’t seem to be boring or dull.

G. Ask your teacher to summarize the topic with all the important points.
