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.
The mapmaker, Martin WaldseemÃ¼ller, named the New World America, after the Italian Amerigo Vespucci, who had explored the coastline of South America and was the first to realize that it was a separate continent, not part of Asia. Columbus wasn't the first explorer to discover America. His voyages were significant because they were the first to become widely known in Europe. They opened a pathway from the Old World to the New, paving the way for the European conquest and colonization of the Americas, changing life forever on both sides of the Atlantic.
