어려운 시기 입니다. 특히 구직활동을 하시는 분들에겐 현재의 불황 (recession)이 보다 현실적이며 피부에 와닿는 느낌으로 다가 옵니다. 누구나 직장이 없는 상황 즉, 전백련 (전국 백수연합)의 회원이 되면 가장 먼저 느끼게 되는 것이 개인마다 정도의 차이는 있겠으나 바로 ‘우울증 (depression)’ 입니다.
저도 최근 직장을 옮기는 과정의 백수로서 이런 증상을 느꼈기에 오늘의 비디오는 면접을 앞두고 이런 우울증을 어떻게 하면 해소하고, 인터뷰 과정에서 자기도 모르게 표현할수도 있는 부정적 이미지 혹은 절박함 (desperation)을 극복할수 있을지에 대해서 설명하고 있습니다. 이것은 1:1 면접이든 단체면접이든 크게 도움이 될수 있으리라 믿습니다.
나레이터인 Cat Miller의 발음은 비교적 정확하지만 리듬감이 풍부한 처자라 호흡법과 강약의 변화에 잘 적응 하시는 것이 듣고 이해하는 지름길이 되겠습니다. 처음에는 뜻을 바로 이해하려 시도하기 보다는 이 처자의 리듬감을 먼저 익혀보는 것도 좋은 요령입니다. 자, 그라문 들어 갑니다 ~~ :)

Recession got you down? Don't let a hiring manager know it. More often than not, confidence and a positive attitude trump skill and experience in the eyes of employers. Gray skies’re gonna clear up ~ put on a happy face. I’m Cat Miller and this is Dice TV!
You think I like singing in the middle of down turn? The thing is if you’re out of work and feeling down about it, you still have to show your positive side during the job interviews and that’s not easy, but there are some tricks you can use.
First, tune up! If you’ve been depressed about your job search, you may unconsciously project negative vibes or tension. So listen to some upbeat or soothing music before an interview. It’s the safe way to lift your spirits and focus on your thoughts.
Next, don’t turn that door knob unless you’re smiling. It says you’re approachable and it’s contagious even if you’re feeling down. Forcing yourself to smile can raise your spirit. Everyone likes working with pleasant people so remember to greet the interviewer pleasantly. In interview isn’t always the best place to share humor, but a tasteful joke or some quick wit can be an asset. Most people like working around someone who can deflect tension through humor. So when you’re preparing, think about a few funny even yet just slip one in when you’re talking about your experience.
Finally limit negative talk. Don’t volunteer any negative tails about your previous employers or coworkers. If you’re asked to describe a failure or time when you struggled, share something briefly, but end it on a positive note. Reinforce the good outcomes when learning moment that resulted from your experience. By putting a positive spin on your answer, you’re showing you’re upbeat and can overcome an adversity with poise, and maybe even a sense of humor.

Put On A
Happy Face - Dick Van Dyke
노래좋고 목청좋고, 반주좋고 다 좋은데 옷맵시가 약간 거시기해서 좀 거슬리긴 하지만 그렇게 훌러덩 벗은건 아니라
올려 봅니다. 거슬리시면 댓글 달아
주세요, 다른걸로 찾아 보겠습니다...
Gray
skies are gonna clear up,
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
It's not your style;
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decided to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook,
Stick out that noble chin;
Wipe off that "full of doubt" look,
Slap on a happy grin!
And spread sunshine all over the place,
Just put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face
Break:
Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.
And if you're feeling cross and bickerish
Don't sit and whine
Think of banana splits and licorice
And you'll feel fine
I knew a man/girl that's gloomy
He'd/She'd never laugh or sing
He/She wouldn't listen to me
Now he's/she's a mean old thing
So spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face
So, put on a happy face
