My main interview tip for this question is to have a really good story to tell about how you use that strength to make something good happen for your former employer or â if this is your first job â at school or in a volunteer role.
Costa Rica: History. 1561 Juan de Cavallon of Spain leads the first successful colonizers into Costa Rica. Columbus discovered and named the area in 1502, but disease and resistance from the local population delayed permanent colonial establishment until 1561. 1808 Coffee is introduced from Cuba and becomes Costa Rica's main crop.
Despite its name, Colombia was not founded by the explorer Christopher Columbus; he never even set foot in the country throughout the history of Colombia. In fact, in 1499 the territory was discovered by his companion Alonso de Ojeda, who arrived there from nearby Santo Domingo, landing at Cabo de la Vela. It was not until 1525, however, that the Spanish began a process of colonization of Colombia, leading to it becoming an integrated colony of the Spanish empire.
