Gearing up for a possible trip to Montreal's Chinatown on the Lunar New Year IF the weather is good...

Hey guys, I wanted to share the worst job interview I've ever had. Well, if you can even call it an interview. The company is three hours away from my house, but the risk will worth it considering the pay, and I spent a fortune on transportation to get there on time. I went in with the HR person, and after about three minutes of questions, she was interrupted and left me only for ten minutes. Then she came back and said she had a meeting, that she was sorry but she had to go, and sent me for a medical checkup. When come back, her colleague told me that was all and that they would call me for a second interview. Would you go back for a second interview?

I'm curious about how you guys finish your DDM assignments. Do you just listen to or watch the video once or twice and then do the dictation, or do you listen several times? Do you slow down the video to try hard to catch what they're saying? I always listen several times, and sometimes I slow down the video—maybe that’s not the best way. What about you guys? Do you have any suggestions?

​ Challenge #1: The Hometown Tour! 🌍 ​For our very first challenge, let's go on an adventure! ​Your Prompt: If I visited your city for only 24 hours, what is the one place I must see that isn't a typical tourist trap? Tell us why it's special! Maybe it's a hidden cafe with the best pastries, a quirky independent bookstore, a park with an amazing view, or a local market that comes alive on weekends. We want to hear about the real, local gems! ​Here's how to participate: • ​Record a 30 to 60-second audio or video clip (better) telling us about your chosen spot. Ps: Don't sweat the clock—if you get carried away because you love the topic, feel free to go longer! I'll kick things off with my own answer shortly! Can't wait to hear where you'll take us! Shout-out to my dear and brew-lliant friend @Gulistan Asan for this awesome idea: - feel free to attach a photo of your spot along with your clip! It’ll be great to actually see where you’re talking about. ​Let's speak up! 🚀
