Tips For Job seekers

Top tips for asking an employer questions in a job interview

Here are some things to keep in mind before we get to the list of questions you should ask in a job interview:
Do not say that you have no questions. “Nope, I’m good” is probably already something you know to be the worst thing you could say, no matter how worried or relaxed you are or how sure you are that you’ll get the job done.

Best questions to ask about the job

What does a typical day or week look like in this role? (Or one of these alternatives.)
What are the most immediate projects that need to be addressed?
Can you show me examples of projects I’d be working on?
What are the skills and experiences you’re looking for in an ideal candidate?
What attributes does someone need to have in order to be really successful in this position?
What types of skills is the team missing that you’re looking to fill with a new hire?
What are the biggest challenges that someone in this position would face?
What sort of budget would I be working with?
Is this a new role or will I be taking over for an employee who’s leaving?
How does this position contribute to the company overall?
Do you expect the main responsibilities for this position to change in the next six months to a year?

Tips For Job Seekers: Teacher Interview Questions and Answers

Here are some teacher interview questions and answers for both new and experienced teacher applicants looking to get their dream position.

Also, we think that knowing what is required in our company will be extremely beneficial.

How can you prepare students for standardized assessments?

Standardised testing is used at practically all levels. You should be able to determine the name of the exam as well as its format. You will get additional credit if you explain it using some of the experiments you conducted with your students.
For us, standardised testing for IELTS, ILEC, BEC, and ICFE is of utmost importance.

Explain what is co-teaching?

Co-teaching is a unique approach in which two or more educators work together to provide instruction on the same subject. Students may appreciate co-teaching since it allows them to learn about a subject from several perspectives.

What would be your classroom management structure if you are hired?

What are some successful classroom management techniques?

My latest video about the Drake Passage

On maps, the spindly arms of Cape Horn and the Antarctic Peninsula reach out to grasp one another, separated only by the Drake Passage, which is named after Sir Francis Drake, a 16th-century English explorer who had also been involved in the slave trade. Some prefer to call it Mar de Hoces, in reference to the Spanish sailor Francisco de Hoces, who may have reached this part of the world 50 years before Drake. 

Sir Francis Drake (born c. 1540–43, Devonshire, England—died January 28, 1596, at sea, off Puerto Bello, Panama) was an English admiral who circumnavigated the globe (1577–80) and was the most renowned seaman of the Elizabethan Age. – Britannica

Some of the world’s strongest ocean currents flow through the Drake Passage, and huge rogue waves have caused the deaths of passengers on ships there as recently as 2022. Some voyagers have reported waves in excess of 65 feet.

What Are Your Fears About The AI?

As a Medium writer, I have received this message:

Medium is for human storytelling, not AI-generated writing. We recently defined and clarified our specific policies around the different uses of AI-generated content and technologies, and what is allowed in the Medium Partner Program. You can read those policies in our Help Center.
Beginning May 1, 2024, stories with AI-generated writing (disclosed as such or not) are not allowed to be paywalled as part of our Partner Program.

Maybe the fear of being replaced as a content writer is gone.

Do I stand alone in seeing the resemblance between the computer on the Enterprise (from Star Trek) and artificial intelligence (AI)?
Asking effective prompts leads to verifiable sources of information…

Below, I have listed the main fears for entrepreneurs concerning AI.

Job Displacement: Automation could lead to job displacement among their workforce, impacting employee morale and company culture.

Loss of Competitive Advantage: Entrepreneurs may worry that their competitors’ adoption of AI technologies could give them a competitive advantage, leaving them at a disadvantage in the market.

Security Risks: Entrepreneurs may fear security breaches and cyber attacks resulting from AI vulnerabilities, potentially exposing sensitive business data and damaging their reputation.

Overreliance on AI: Entrepreneurs may fear becoming overly reliant on AI tools, leading to a loss of creativity, innovation, and human intuition in their decision-making processes.

Negative Public Perception: Entrepreneurs may fear backlash from customers or stakeholders if AI-driven initiatives are perceived as intrusive, manipulative, or unethical.

Regulatory Compliance: Entrepreneurs may fear the complexity and uncertainty of AI regulations, risking legal consequences or fines for non-compliance.

Loss of Human Connection: Entrepreneurs may fear that increased reliance on AI in customer interactions could diminish the human connection and personal touch that are essential for building relationships and loyalty.

Unforeseen Consequences: Entrepreneurs may fear unintended consequences or unforeseen risks associated with AI adoption, such as algorithmic errors or unintended biases.

Reputation Damage: Entrepreneurs may fear that AI-related mishaps or failures could damage their brand reputation and erode customer trust, leading to loss of business.

Innovation Stagnation: Entrepreneurs may fear that AI adoption could lead to complacency and a lack of innovation within their organization, stifling creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.

As a conclusion, I would like the AI to do the heavy lifting around, to clean, wash, do the vacuum cleaning, sort the garbage, and leave the creating tasks and the thinking to me.

Who is your white whale?

“Who is your white whale?” I sometimes ask my students.
Who is the person or entity you dream about working with?
Who you are chasing on all social media in order to see if you can sparkle some words in a deft cover letter to make yourself irresistible to them?

My white whale has been Medium.com. I am in and it is tremendously and utterly fascinating. I am still chasing dreams that will be carved in the bark of the Medium scrolls.

You can be our next white whale.

The Hardest questions

What Can you Do Today That You Could Not Do 1 Year Ago?

I have started with:
“Sit alone; sit quietly
Learn something new without any apparent practical benefit.
Ask individuals for bold feedback; ignore what you hear from the crowd.
Spend time encouraging other artists.
Teach, with the intent of making change.
Ship something that you created” – Seth Godin, The Icarus Deception

I have learned the ins and outs of political marketing as to “Learn something new without any apparent practical benefit.”

Later edit: I just thought I wouldn’t have any practical benefit, because starting this September I am local councillor elect.
