Here are 8 out of 33 tips for a successful interview. For 25 more tips of this type, visit the link: http://vkool.com/tips-for-a-successful-interview.
Have you ever had an interview? Have you ever asked how to have a successful interview? Whenever you do something, you should prepare well for it. If you are going to have a job interview, you should know the best tips for job interviews.
1. Research Your Target Company
If you wish to become an expensive candidate in an interview, you should have a good understanding about your target company. You should learn about their values, missions, and products. You can go to their website to review their history, foundation, and principles. It is not necessary to know everything about that company, but you should equip you with some background knowledge about them. This is one of the tips for a successful interview.
2. First Impressions Count
The first impression plays an important role in the success of an interview. Therefore, you should greet all the interviewers probably by smiling beautifully or shaking their hands firmly. You should be silent when you go from the reception table to the interview place.
3. Be Prepared
Good preparation is half a victory. You should read your CV and the job requirements again and again before the interview. You should learn how to answer all the questions the interviewers may ask, such as questions about your knowledge, experiences, and expected salary.
4. Don’t Waffle
You should go directly to the answers of the questions you are asked. Do not go around or hesitate while answering them. If you do not know how to answer a difficult question, ask the interviewers for a minute to think about it. Do not make an immediate answer and then regret about it.
5. Be Positive
You should always be positive, patient, and persistent in any conversation, including an interview. The interviewers always expect you to be enthusiastic, talented, and have positive thinking. If you are asked for the reason why you are applying for the job, you should say you love this new position rather than saying ill about your previous company.
6. Be Active
A good staff is an active and energetic person. Interviewers appreciate active candidates. Therefore, you should show your energy, sense of humor, and a constant smile.
7. Clarify Anything You Are Unsure Of
If you are not sure about the questions that the interviewers ask you, you should ask for a repetition for an explanation. Do not be afraid to clarify what you do not know. You can even ask the interviewers some questions about the company.
8. Appearance
You should prepare to have good appearance for the interview. You should have a good haircut one week prior to the interview. The way you make up should be in harmony with what you wear. You should be neat and clean no matter what you wear. Appearance does not speak all about you, but appearance plays an important part in making an impression at first sight.

LECTURE 2: Don Stanley's Design Class LSC 332 @UW MadisonDon Stanley
This is for Don Stanley's Course at the UW Madison. This class is about answering "What is Design?" and "Why Study Design?"
We also explore the strategic process for starting any communication project. What questions should you ask to get your project started?
I include the questions I believe you need to ask to get started.
Knowing your audience when you write can help you organise your work, select appropriate language and content, and determine the best way to approach each topic.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

43. Two of the most common faults in news
reading: monotonous delivery and slow
reading.
Follow the pattern
The reading of news on the radio is
expected to conform to a pattern of musical
pitches or notes.
If you were to speak to your friends using
this exaggerated pitch pattern, your
conversation would seem a bit too much like
"sing-song."
44. Change pitches
Stories begin on a "high" pitch and end on a "low"
pitch.
In between the pitch modulates from one clause or
sentence to the next.
Within a clause or sentence, the pitch falls slightly
from beginning to end, except in questions, where
the pitch rises at the end.
For example, in a standard, four-sentence script,
the pitch begins "high," falling slightly at the end of
the first sentence.
The second sentence begins at a lower pitch than
the end of the first sentence.
The third sentence begins at a higher pitch than
the beginning of the second sentence.
The final sentence, like the second sentence,
begins at a "low" pitch.
45. When news directors, program
directors or general managers complain
about monotonous delivery, they are
referring to readers who remain on the
same pitch throughout the script.
The easiest way to gain an
understanding of pitch is to listen to the
pitch patterns of other anchors and
reporters, and to practice, practice,
practice.
With time, the pattern will become
automatic when you're on the air.
46. Speed it up
The other common fault in news
reading concerns speed.
Most beginning radio journalists read
and speak too slowly.
Radio cannot provide the additional
visual information that exists when
speaking in public or on television.
With only one mode of information-retrieval
available, the radio listener prefers to process
speech at a faster rate.
Normal conversational speed is generally
too slow for reading radio news.
47. Some reporters and anchors -- notably
those on public radio -- seem to want to make
an art form out of speaking VERY SLOWLY.
This style can be used when
broadcasting over an overseas radio.
Use examples from foreign news
programs such as BBC, FOX and CNN to set
the speed for reading the news.
