✔️It could well be that the formula we’ve been using to calculate investment risk is not accurate enough.
✔️The reason for the late start to the meeting was because of today’s tube strike.
✔️One possible explanation/reason for the fall in profits could be the weakness of sterling against the US dollar.
✔️Let me explain, if we were to implement the changes too soon, we’d have a huge problem on our hands.
✔️What I mean is, I don’t think we’ll get the necessary funding this year.
✔️This has been a much-needed wake-up call. In other words, it’s been a warning that was needed.
✔️Let me put it/this another way, if we don’t accept their proposals now, they’ll go somewhere else/elsewhere.
✔️Let me deal with the second point first, that is to say, the point about logistics.
✔️The thing is, there’s no simple explanation to what went wrong.
✔️Seeing as/that everyone is here, I think it’d be a good idea to tell you what’s happened.
✔️As/since (formal) the goods were damaged on arrival, I’m returning them in this package.
✔️Let me give you another example,….
✔️For example/ for instance, if you were to test the market now, you’d see there isn’t any demand for our product in its present form.

☝️Давайте продолжим тему о том, как обьяснить,что вы имеете в виду. В прошлом посте были конкретные фразы. Но, если проблема не во фразах (и вовсе не в английском), то могут помочь методики:
✔️Focus on making your thinking clear.
One of the reasons we often cannot explain things clearly is because our thinking is not clear.
✔️Try and write what you want to explain.
You may find that what you want to explain is not clear so writing it makes you structure your thoughts. Writing most definitely will make your thinking clearer because you’re giving yourself the time to think.
✔️Pay attention to your listener
While explaining, pay attention to the facial expressions of your listener. If they are looking confused, use this feedback to change your explaining. Don’t keep talking without looking at your listener/audience.
✔️Tell a story or give examples to make things easier to understand.
✔️Write it and record it!
What you think you said initially and what you actually communicated to others can be different so it’s worth trying this technique out

Доброе пятничное утро! Сегодня снова #IT_interview_tips. Итак, один из любимых вопросов на IT-собеседовании:
🤔What's the hardest challenge you have had to overcome — and how did you approach it?
Tips to follow:
✔️One of the failures I've seen in interviews is that candidates do not properly set the context of their answer. I have faced some challenges that at that point in my career were difficult but that later on were trivial. If I brought them up in an interview without explaining my experience level when they arose, it would put me in a bad light. The interviewer would be thinking, "Why would someone with his experience struggle with this?" So when you answer, give a short (one sentence) scene setup.
✔️Also, put your focus on the problem-solving steps you took, not the technical details. No one really cares if the problem turned out to be that the variable was one character shorter than the data going into it; they want to know how you did the research to discover it.

Jonas is angry and frustrated after interviewing six times for a job that went to an internal candidate who had always been a shoe-in for the job. What would you do in Jonas' situation?

Помните, на курсах английского (все же были, да?🙄😆)проходили тему conditionals (условные предложения)? Для тех, кто работает в IT, тема очень полезная. Немного практического применения:
1️⃣If the zipcode textbox is required for registration, users outside the US won't be able to join (возможная ситуация в настоящем: обсуждаем, ведём переговоры, предупреждаем)
2️⃣If we used C++ to code this project, we would have to hire some developers (говорим гипотетически о настоящем: "а вот если бы", но мы не используем C++ и больше разработчиков нам тоже не надо)
3️⃣Our UI would have been much more simple if we had used Ajax (говорим гипотетически о прошлом: сожалеем, критикуем, обвиняем; UI в итоге получился замысловатый😆)

🤔Вы слышали такое понятие как Cyber Monday? Похоже на Black Friday: тоже маркетинговый ход...только это о понедельниках и о продажах онлайн #TEnglish_idioms
«After Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, retailers kick off the following week with Cyber Monday.
Cyber Monday refers to the sales that can be had exclusively online and while many stores offer online savings on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday is just another one of those clever marketing ideas that seems to have popped up online in recent years»

Someone who has power and influence in a field or activity
Who are movers and shakers in the IT world?🤔

✔️Unrealistic expectations: Expecting IT to know everything immediately like we're the freaking Oracle or something.
✔️Expected to be on call 24x7
✔️Security breaches caused by USERS.
