Personal Culture in the Everyday Work-place

No matter where you turn, there is culture of all different types all around us. However, it’s a good thing. Culture is beautiful, it is what gives human life flavor. If social interactions are the meat, salt, and pepper, then culture is the herbs and spices. As a result, culture is an extremely important part of human interaction. However, it is questioned whether or not it should be held back in some cases. Situations where culture could be held back are when social standings can be damaged. There are many times when this has to be done in order to fit in to a group. In the past, being a so-called “nerd” was a negative thing. Now, not so much. Like how in the past, loving anime was looked down upon and incredibly niche, everyone watches and adores it now. Needless to say, people in 2020 are much more open to new cultures than ever before. Some of you reading this may remember a discussion we held during one of our breaks in class discussing about good culture, and although it was unusual, I don’t think it was so much of a bad thing for us to share. The discussion that day further proves that culture does not have to hidden anymore. I am not afraid to show my culture, and I shouldn’t, but it’s up to us to make every single person not afraid. No more hiding, we should all love our cultures and be proud. We should be able to express it all we want and not be berated about it.

Job interviews are all about the interviewee. We shouldn’t need to prepare anything except for physical items before an interview and some key points. The reason why is because we are the experts of our own lives. Nobody knows us better than we do, and we have been through things that made us who we are. The same culture spoken above and personal experiences guide us towards the words. During interviews, let the words flow to you and let the natural process of human communication take over without overthinking.
