Typical things of the USA

The USA is a relatively young country but it has a great amount of things which almost everybody in the world knows (порядок слов).
Of course there are lots of geographical places. I think that the most popular city is New-York. It's located on the east (с прописной буквы, а не заглавной) coast of the USA. Huge skyscrapers (spelling), beautiful parks, rich people represent economic success of the USA.
In (не for) less than 300 (не 3 hundred) years America brought many important and talented people: the inventor Samuel Morse, the musician Louis Armstrong, the filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, the boxer Muhammad Ali and so on. It shows that even a short period of history can (не could) give great people ever???.
No doubt that jeans are the greatest invention of America. Originally they were clothes of cowboys but later they became very popular among people from all over the world (не other world).
Also America is a cradle of fastfood and Mcdonalds is the most recognizable mind image of the USA. Moreover, this brand was so successful in America that it penetrated into (не covered) almost every place on the planet.

So America has many popular symbols. Some of them are not encouraged by many people and others represent industry standard. And anyway it's great achievement of people of America.

Interview questions

Are you an organized person?
I think so. Of course it depends on priority of task. I can change my time schedule due to important problem.

Do you manage your time well?
Yes. It's very important for me. Time is too expensive to forget about it.

How do you handle change?
I used to changes around me and I dislike when something is too stable. I think it's not normal. Everything should evolve. Moreover I think that negative changes involve positive changes.

Do you work well under pressure?
It depends on pressure. If man constantly during the day asks me "When will you finish? It's very important." it just distracts me from work. But if pressure is great responsibilities it's Ok. Every worker should carry the responsibility.

Interview questions

If you could change one thing about your personality, what would it be and why?
Honestly speaking, I have several things which I want to change. One of them relates to work and I think it's most important. It's attitude to time schedule during work time. Sometimes I can go sleep very late due some problem which I just can't leave in incomplete state. Therefore I wake up very late. Also I can miss dinner time or some meeting. Of course I love my work but missing meeting with friends is bad thing.
