このブログは、翌日に英語かドイツ語かでの面接を控えた著者（一次がドイツ語のみで、二次はドイツ語と英語のミックスで、三次が一体どうなるのか予測がつかない状況）が、面接で自分をどうアピールしたらいいか、英語ではそれをどう表現するのか調べているうちに出会った、「こんな人だったら仕事したいと思われる人材」になるための10のヒントを、英語でまとめたものです。

I normally write this blog in Japanese but it is written in English today. I just want to write down something for the final job interview and make put them in order for me and maybe someone, who needs them for their job apply or interview. 

After all today is the 6th. of December, normally it is the day to celebrate St. Claus (Nikolaus) but for me it is a kind of a nervous and preparing day for a final job interview. 

Since I got a job at a junior-senior High School in Japan in March 2010, I have had no opportunities for job interviews. The last two interviews were going well (to be honest I didn't think I can pass the second step to some reasons). Hopefully the final one held tomorrow will get be successful!


Here are ten points for strategic thinking for general office work, in particular for a position at reception. These ten points are that I heard on a Podcast by British Council and arrange by myself for my occasion.  

1. have a vision : without any vision you don’t even know where you want to go, how you want to be. 
2. be a life-long-learner : recognizing that learning never ends. You should always be ready to get to know something new. On the other hand that means you can be never a perfect specialist. Be humble and do learn farther.
3. manage your time : get your priority what you have to bring to the end. think about what to be done at first.
4. have an awareness : you should set up your antenna around you at the workplace. think about what is necessary or what is expected by co-workers most.
5. have a patience :  the most of the work cannot bring the result immediately, that is why you have to keep waiting for in with patience.
6. review constantly : reception is one of the places that you are supposed to be on the different tasks at the same time.  Documents from some departments, you have to review constantly objects you have a look.
7. open minded and then judge : not judge something at first before you test it. keep your mind open
8. be realistic and honest : in what you can achieve.
9. take time out for yourself: these time are also important if you want to work with efficiency, that you organize thinking time, relaxing yourself and charging energy for your next step. 
10. Don’t try to do everything on your own.    

It's time to charge energy for tomorrow! 
Thanks for reading it.
