Think Green How to video

In this video we can see something they call the second industrial revolution. This one is inspired on a principle of the nature where waste doesn’t exist, everything is used again as nutrition, so we can do the same about industrial waste and reuse the products when they finish their useful life, we can use them as “nutrition” for new products. As an industrial engineer we always are looking for ways to improve productivity by reducing costs and we are also responsible for the environment and how the activities for the industries affect it, so according to this video we can solve both issues applying this principle of the nature. Just take a look to the video, is very interesting..

JOB INTERVIEW tips


It is important to know that any job interview is like other, they are all alike and we must be prepared for any circumstance that may happen during the interview. For example, sometimes we think we are going to be interviewed for one person and then, when we arrive to the interview, we found out that it will be a group of persons who will be evaluating us. First, It is very, very important to make a great impression, make eye contact, smile, and give a nice, firm handshake to the interviewer when you met him or her. Then, make sure you wait to sit down until the interviewer asks you to sit down. Don't put your stuffs on his or her desk. You should keep your things to your side or in your lap, and wait until you're asked a question until you start speaking. The first saw is the one that counts, so, we always should dress for the position that we really want in a long term, rather than the position you are applying for today. Women should not wear a lot of make-up and jewelry. And for both, women and men, clothes and must be clean and in good shape. We should be prepared also, for questions like: How would you handle this situation? That the employer may ask.
If the Interview is in a restaurant or café, is probably because the employer wants to see if we have the appropriate etiquette skills, so it is important to have them! To know table etiquette and, also stay focused in the interview as those places are very noisy, and of course we must speak at a very good level so can be heard for the employer.
As soon as you notice that the interview is over, you have to leave, so stand up, thank them again and don't forget to ask for the job before you leave.
