Ponekogaš navistina žalam što nikogaš ne sum imal možnost da odam na nekoe intervju za rabota vo Amerika. So prašanja kakvi što se „Dokolku bevte žitarica za pojadok, kakva bi bile? Ili „Što bi napravile dokolku jas vi dadam slon? Mora da e zabavno! Dodeka site tie intervjua na koi imav „zadovolstvo“ da prisustuvam ovde vo Slovačka bea premnogu oficijalni i prilično zdodevni, navistina bi sakal nešto što bi m opuštilo malku. Vakov vid prašanja ne samo što možat da vi pomognat da se smirite malku, no da vi ponudat i malku prostor za da se pretstavite samite! sebe si na zabaven i interesen način. Karen Barns, avtor na ilustriranata kniga za soveti za kariera „Neverojatnite avanturi na vrednoto devojče: Vistinski soveti za kariera od soništata što možete da gi koristite!“ veli deka treba da gi odgovorimte ovie prašanja bez da izbegneme odgovor ili bez da kažeme “Kakva vrska ima ova so rabotata? Ako storevme taka, kje izgledame napadno, nefleksibilno i nesorabotlivo. Drugo mnogu pomošno pravilo e: zapomnete deka ne postoi “vistinski” odgovor na prašanjata kako ovie. Toa znači deka može da kažete što sakate, NO toa ne znači deka treba da odgovorite bez da se razmislite ni za moment. Dokolku se obidete da gi pogodite motivate zad prašanjeto, toa može da vi bide od pomoš. Isto taka mnogu e važno da sfatite deka ne ste “rob na prašanjeto” – ako ne možete da se identifikuvate so n! ieden od možnite odgovori (na primer so odredeni karakter! i), toga š može da odgovorite mudro imenuvajkji nekoi od omilenite kvaliteti na ovie karakteri.

How to manage job interview? by Barbora Misakova

Sometimes I really regret I have never been invited to job interview in America. With questions such as “If you were a breakfast cereal, what kind would you be?” or “What would you do if I gave you an elephant?” it must be fun! While most of those interviews I had a “pleasure” to attend here in Slovakia were too official and quite boring, I would really appreciate something what would help me relax a bit. This sort of question should not only help you to calm down, but also offer you a space for introducing yourself in funny and interesting way. Karen Burns, author of the illustrated career advice book “The Amazing Adventures of Wor! king Girl: Real-Life Career Advice You Can Actually Use!” says we should answer these questions without stonewalling or saying “What does this have to do with the job?” If we did so, it would make us look as defensive, inflexible and uncooperative. Another and very useful tip is: remember there is no “right” answer to questions like these. It means you can say anything you want, BUT it doesn’t mean you should answer without pondering for a moment. If you try to guess the motive behind the question, it may be helpful as well. It is also very important to realize you are not a “slave to the question” – if you cannot identify with none of the possible answers (for example with particular characters), you can answer smartly by naming some of favorable qualities of these characters. Whatever these questions will be, try to be funny, look smart and sensible. Just keep cool!

"Halo: Reach" oživuje odvetvie videohier! by Barbora Misakova

Veľká hospodárska kríza zasiahla aj odvetvie videohier, kde posledné obraty z predaja klesli o 60 miliárd dolárov. Phil Spencer, viceprezident hracích štúdií spoločnosti Microsoft však tvrdí, že problém je v nedostatku trhákov. Podľa neho je za spomalenie tohto odvetvia zodpovedný práve nedostatok dobrých hier. Podľa spoločnosti Microsoft by ich nová videohra „Halo: Reach“ mala zmeniť túto pochmúrnu situáciu na trhu. „Halo: Reach“ je videohra vytvorená pre konzoly Xbox 360. Hra, ktorá sa odohráva v! roku 2552, je, stručne povedané, o vojne medzi ľuďmi a mimozemšťanmi – čo znie zaujímavo dokonca i pre mňa – hracieho analfabeta. „Sme naozaj spokojní, čo sa čísiel „Halo: Reach“ týka.“ povedal Phil Spencer pre Reuters. „To, čo mi tieto čísla hovoria je, že je tu veľa hráčov. A tí sú ochotní za skvelý zážitok zaplatiť hneď, ako sa objaví na pultoch.“ Ako sa zdá, spokojný nie je len výrobca. „Halo: Reach“ získalo aj veľmi priaznivé recenzie. Portály GameRankings a Metacritic dali tejto hre skóre až 92,23 % a 93 %, pričom bolo toto hodnotenie založené len na 15, a v druhom prípade na 26 recenziách. Úspešnosť tejto hry bola doslova merateľná už v prvý deň jej uv! edenia na trh, kedy zarobila 200 miliónov dolárov v ! celosvet ových predajoch. Práve tieto čísla urobili z hry „Halo: Reach“ najúspešnejšiu spomedzi všetkých hier a filmov tohto roku. Základná verzia je dostupná za 60 dolárov. Sú však dostupné aj špeciálne edície, ktoré možno kúpiť od 80 až do 250 dolárov. Pre skalných fanúšikov pripravil Microsoft ešte jednu pochúťku – špeciálnu Xbox konzolu spolu s novou verziou hry len za 400 dolárov.

"Halo: Reach" boosts game industry! by Barbora Misakova

Big economy crisis hit also game industry where the recent sales slump in the $60 billion. But Phil Spencer, vice president of Microsoft Game Studios, says it was a lack of blockbuster games to blame for the industry slowdown. According to Microsoft, its new videogame “Halo: Reach” should change this gloomy situation. “Halo: Reach” is a first-person shooter video game published for the Xbox 360 console. The game, which takes place in the year 2552, is in a simplified way about war between humans and aliens – and that sounds interesting even for me – nongamer. “We feel really good about where the ‘Halo: Reach’ numbers are! .” Phil Spencer told Reuters. “What ‘Halo: Reach’ numbers tell me is gamers are there. They are willing to buy the great experiences when they come out.” And as it seems satisfied is not only producer. “Halo: Reach” was released to highly positive reception. GameRankings and Metacritic gave this game score of 92.23 % and 93 %, which was based on samples of 15 and 26 reviews. Success of the game was literally measurable on its launch day, when this new videogame had racked up $200 million in global sales. That made it the biggest launch of any game or movie this year. The basic version of “Reach” costs $60. There are also available special editions which are priced at $80 and $250. You can also buy a special Xbox console plus the new version of the game for $400.
