Where do you see yourself in five more years?

 This video tries to help you answering this typical question in a job interview, it also provides some tips to answer properly and be hired.

 One thing they mentioned is that this question is hard and many employers do it.

 Hiring manager cannot predict the future and they not expect you to do it, they are quite interested in knowing whether hiring you will worth the time and money is going to hire you.

 Finally a good way to answer this question properly would be to choose some goals you have, mention your strength, skills, talk about the industry and the challenge this would be. 

 In my opinion this video is quite simple and gives you very good short pieces of advice to have in mind when applying for a job, watch it because it is very clear and comprehensible.

Women v/s Men

Women v/s Men

How does this video show gender differences?
 This is a very stereotyped video and also an exaggeration of both sexes, the truth is that every day we are getting more equal and this differences are disappearing.

Which difference do you think is the most accurate? Why?
 Definitely the one about shopping, men usually go to a market, get what they want and leave, on the other hand women go to markes, center shops or anyting, even when they are bored, they try on as many things as possible and can even leave without having bought anything.

Which difference do you think is less accurate? Why?

  In my opinion the one about Football, for me everything related to sports have nothing to deal with gender and is more like a transversal issue.

The story is about Afel, a little boy who had never known the snow, he only used to see snow in books.

At the begining of the sotry he asked his mom what snow was, but she could not explain.

Shopping with My Wife

Shopping with My Wife 

 This podcast is about a man who doesn't like going shopping and the troubles that are caused because of that activity.
 One of the most important issue is the fact that his wife is always doing some questions that complicate him.
 Finally the lack of fashion sense in the man makes him always tell the same lies, "you look good"
 My comment about this is that is not that interesting but it is something that many men hat, not me, I love shopping.

 DREAD: you are not looking forward to something or you do not want do something but you have to do it.
 FASHION SENSE: ability to know what looks good and waht does not looks good.
