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.
In 1492 a Spanish-based transatlantic maritime expedition led by Christopher Columbus resulted in the re-discovery of the Americas, a continent which was previously unknown in Europe, as well as the colonization of the Americas. Columbus and his crew became the first Christian to make landfall in the Americas. Columbus was an Italianâborn navigator sailing for the Crown of Castile in search of a westward route to Asia, to access the sources of spices and other oriental goods. This led to the discovery of a New World between Europe and Asia. Columbus made a total of four voyages to the Americas between 1492 and 1502, setting the stage for the European exploration and colonization of the Americas, ultimately leading to the Columbian Exchange.
