Keyboard Combinations

Redo

 

Windows users: While most of you know that the Ctrl + Z is used to undo an action, did you know that there is a keyboard combination that does just the opposite? Pressing Ctrl + Y will redo the action that you undid.

For Mac users: Command + Shift + Z

Screenshot of active window

For Windows users: The Print Screen (PrtSc) key on your keyboard is used to take snapshots of the entire screen. But if you want to quickly take a screenshot of just the active window, press Alt + Print Screen. This will eliminate the need to edit the screenshot to cut out just the active screen.

For Mac users: Command + Shift + 4, then press the Space key. This will change the cursor from the crosshair to the camera icon. Now click on the window you wish to capture.

Body Language for a Job Interview

Body movement is a way to determine a person's character. To determine what kind of movements are vital for interviews, we spoke to body language expert

1. Sit all the way back in your seat.

It's  an automatic signal of assurance and confidence.

2. Don't go for direct eye contact.

A more effective way to ensure you look interested and engaged is to look different parts of someone's face every two seconds, rotating from eyes, to nose, to lips, so you're never just drilling into the interviewer's eyes.

3. Use hand gestures while speaking.

Keeping your hands hidden can be misinterpreted as distrustful behavior. Show your palms; when your palms are up, it signals honesty and engagement. The brain picks up the positivity, which will make the interviewer comfortable.  

                  

4. Plant your feet on the ground.

Planted feet can help you go between creative thought and highly complex rational thought.

5. Work on your walk.

Interviewers often make a hiring judgment within the first 10 seconds of meeting you. How you walk into the room is a part of that judgment.

6. Nod your head while listening.

HAIKUS

• A haiku (俳句 high-koo) is a short three-line poem that uses sensory language to capture a feeling or image. 

• Haiku poetry was originally developed by Japanese poets. They are often inspired by nature, a moment of beauty, or a bad experience. 

• To write a haiku, start by brainstorming ideas for the poem. Then, write the poem with strong details and detailed imagery. Make sure you polish the haiku and listen to how it sounds out loud so it is at its best.

'A Haiku must paint 

a mental's image in the 

reader's mind.'
