😐У вас есть коллеги, которые никогда не смеются?

В английском для таких даже специальное слово есть:

Agelast: a person who never laughs \ ˈa-jə-ˌlast \

"Какая же разница между aim, goal, target и objective?” #вопрос_от_студента

📌Aim- something you hope to achieve by doing something.

✔️Our main aim is to increase sales of our app in the UK.

📌Goal can be defined as the primary ambition that people cherish. It ca also be something important that you hope to achieve in the future, even though it may take a long time.

✔️He continued to pursue his goal of becoming a solution architect

📌Target refers to aims in general, and it has the figurative meaning of distance or mark. While a goal remains as an individual’s ultimate achievement, targets are what drive the individual towards his goal.

✔️Our target is to reach 1,000,000 users this year.

📌Objective- the specific thing that you are trying to achieve - used especially about things that have been officially discussed and agreed upon in business, politics, etc. and agreed upon in business, politics, etc.

✔️This objective can be measured by the number of defects reported per test cases

〰️О результате действий помогают нам говорить эти глаголы:

✔️A lack of documentation leads to the poor performance

✔️The fact that you used “witch” instead of “which” caused a lot of jokes

Мы постоянно пишем о том, как стоит говорить

🤭Сегодня- о том, как не стоит.

Если вы на коле или митинге и вам что-то непонятно, или вы не услышали информацию, вот чего стоит избегать:

❌Using “I beg your pardon” when a shorter phrase would be more suitable
❌Using “What?” when something more formal would be more suitable
❌Using very vague expressions like “I don’t understand” that don’t give the person speaking any information on which parts are not understood or why
❌Using too direct checking understanding expressions like “Do you understand?”, which can sound like teachers disciplining children!
❌Redundant words in expressions like “Repeat again”

#TEnglish_interview_tip от нашего преподавателя с опытом работы с рекрутинге- Марьянны:

"Собеседование подходит к концу- время для ваших вопросов. Не стоит задавать общие вопросы о компании или о том, входят ли услуги стомоатолога в страховку. Постарайтесь задать как можно больше вопросов о будущем проекте:

📌Who is responsible for which project deliverables?

📌Who is the client?

📌What has been done so far?

📌Are there any key milestones, important dates, or time constraints?

📌Are there any obstacles or barriers that would prevent the project from being successful?

​​#TEnglish_interview_tip о том, как ответить на вопрос интервьюера:

❓“Imagine you found yourself in a situation where you couldn’t achieve your goals. What would you do?”

What does an interviewer want from you?

He/she wants to hear how you apply yourself to a task at a hand

What do they want to check?

How you perceive a failure, and how you respond to not meeting the goals.

Use
📌"I would.."
📌"If I found myself in such a situation"

​​"Спортивные" идиомы, которые часто используются в ИТ:

Ballpark estimate ⚾️ - a guess or an estimate on a number

📌He really dropped the ball by not finishing that user story on time

Get the ball rolling 🏀- to begin something

👠Если вы хотите, чтобы ваша позиция во время переговоров или дискуссии не звучала сильно грубо, можно использовать restrictive phrases:

📌at the moment
📌at this stage,
📌so far

✔️That's our position at the moment.
✔️I don't think we can go any further at this stage.

(using a restrictive phrase does not exclude the possibility of future movement)

🛩Вы знали, что в английском есть много бизнес-идиом из лексики для путешествий.

Например:

📌to cover a lot of ground- to travel a long distance, BUT ALSO to review a large amount of information or discuss many topics.
