Smart Kids Festival Events

China and Western countries may have different cultural belief about certain animals. But when it come to pigs, we somehow reach an agreement which pigs are lazy, ugly, stupid and shameless. None of these words are exact positive to describe pigs. Therefore, the truth is that pigs have some good qualities. According to a paper publishing in 2017, pigs can tell from those who treat them well and those who don’t. Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep it in mind—their intelligence, cuteness and patience. Besides, people born in the Year of the Pig were usually devoted to what they do. They have great sense of responsibility.

You don’t need to be a world-class mountaineer to stand out in a job interview. Here’s my advice on how to nail the most common interview question.
Most people are so eager to show off what they’ve been involved in. Don’t worry, and there will be time for that. The interviewer has reviewed your resume and will ask you plenty about your expertise. “Tell me about yourself” is a question you’re certain to be asked at any job interview.1.However, sharing something that shows who you really are beyond a piece of paper is a good idea. It will allow the interviewer to know something about your life outside of work.
Everyone has something interesting to share about themselves. I’ve heard people talk about everything from being a world-class sushi chef to an ice carver.2. Such as you participate in competitive sports, you're an accomplished (技艺高超的) pianist and you’re writing your first detective novel. If the information showcases a unique aspect of yourself, and especially if you can link it to what you can bring to your next job, then go for it.
Another way to think about the question is: “What gets you up every morning?” The person also wants to know what your sense of passion and purpose is. That volunteer work on a farm cooperative in South America, for example, shows you have a global perspective. 3. It doesn’t matter how big or small the accomplishment is, as long as it shows you’re struggling to improve yourself. When people are motivated by contributing to something bigger than themselves, they get more satisfaction.
4. Relax, be yourself and tell the truth. Don't approach the interview like you’re trying out for Broadway. It’s more than obvious when someone is trying to memorize their lines and “play the part”. Also, if you overstate what you've done or fully invent a story about yourself, you'll be exposed.5.
A.Take a risk to get personal.
B.Showing honesty is one of the most important things.
C.Running your first 10 kilometers shows you like a challenge.
D.And then everything you say about yourself will be questioned.
E.It's also important to tell it in a way that makes you memorable.
F.Too many people respond to it by giving a recital of their resume.
G."Tell me about yourself" is an invitation for you to share brief information.
