Tom, the job interview went really well.

I knew it would go well.

Congratulations.

What did they ask?

Where do you see yourself in the next five years?

Great job, Lily.

We should definitely meet.

Welcome back to Daily English Talk,

the podcast where we help you speak English every single day,

Today's lesson is a big one.

We are talking about job interviews in English.

Yes, this is the lesson so many of you have been asking for.

How do you answer questions in English at a job interview?

What do you say?

How do you sound confident?

We are going to teach you real phrases,

real answers, and real confidence today.

From A1 to B1 level,

we've got something for everyone.

Let's go!

But first, before we get into today's lesson,

I have a question for you.

Ooh!

Is the question about me again?

Do you think so?

Last week, Tom had a very important meeting,

and he made one very embarrassing mistake at the beginning of it.

Something he said made everyone in the room go completely silent.

Oh no. Don't tell them.

I'm not telling you yet.

You have to wait until the end of the episode.

One day it will be my turn too, Lily.

Leave your answer in the comments below and stay until the end to find out if you were right.

Drop your guesses down there.

We love reading your comments, every single one.

Okay, Tom, before we teach everyone the phrases,

let's talk about job interviews a little bit first.

Oh, job interviews.

My favorite topic, said no one ever.

Right?

They are so stressful, even in your first language.

Exactly.

And in English, for someone who is still learning,

it can feel like climbing a mountain.

But it does not have to be that scary.

Tom, have you ever had a job interview that went really badly?

Oh, Lily, yes.

Yes, I have.

I remember my very first job interview.

I was 19 years old.

What happened?

So they asked me, tell me about yourself, and I panicked completely.

I just said, um, I am Tom.

I like football?

You said you like football?

I was so nervous.

My brain just stopped working.

I had no idea what to say.

I had not prepared at all.

Did you get the job?

What do you think?

No. No, absolutely not.

They smiled very politely and said they would be in touch.

They were never in touch.

Aw, Tom, that is so painful but so relatable.

But here's the thing.

I learned from that experience,

and now I actually enjoy job interviews because I prepared,

I practiced, and I had the right phrases.

And that is exactly what we are going to give everyone today, the right phrases.

So nobody has to say,

I like football ever again.

Unless you really love football, then go for it.

Now, Tom, have you ever had a good interview,

one that went really well?

Actually, yes.

A few years ago, I interviewed for a podcast hosting job,

and I walked in so prepared.

I had practiced my answers at home.

I knew exactly what I was going to say.

And?

And I got the job.

And here we are.

Aw, I love that story.

Preparation is everything, people.

Everything.

Okay, before we get into the phrases,

let's talk about one grammar point that is super important in job interviews.

Yes, this is going to help your answers sound so much more natural.

100

In job interviews, we use two tenses a lot,

101

the present simple and the present perfect.

102

Can you give us an example, Lily?

103

Of course.

104

Present simple is for things that are true right now,

105

or things you do regularly do regularly.

106

For example, I work in customer service.

107

I speak two languages.

108

I am a hard worker.

109

Simple, right?

110

You are describing who you are right now.

111

Exactly.

112

And then the present perfect is for talking about your experience,

113

things you have done in your life that connect to the present.

114

For example, I have worked in a restaurant for three years.

115

I have used Microsoft Excel in my previous job i have

116

studied english for two years see the difference present simple tells

117

them who you are present perfect tells them what you have done

118

and in a job interview you need both you need to say who you are

119

and what you have done let's practice quickly repeat after me

120

ready repeat time let's go i am a very organized person your turn say it Great!

121

Now try this one.

122

I have five years of experience in sales.

123

Say it.

124

Perfect!

125

You are already sounding like a job interview pro.

126

One more.

127

I have always been passionate about helping people.

128

Say that one again.

129

Beautiful.

130

Excellent work, everyone.

131

Seriously, that was great.

132

Okay, now let's get into the real lesson,

133

the most common job interview questions and how to answer them confidently.

134

We are going to go through six big questions today.

135

For each one, we will give you vocabulary,

136

example answers, and some tips.

137

Let's start with question number one.

138

This is almost always the first question in any job interview,

139

and it is also the one that scares people the most.

140

Because it is so open!

141

There are so many things you could say.

142

Where do you even start?

143

Here is a simple formula.

144

Three sentences.

145

That is all you need for a basic answer.

146

Sentence 1.

147

Who are you and what do you do?

148

Sentence 2.

149

Your experience.

150

Sentence 3.

151

152

155

I am a student.

156

I am studying business.

157

I want to work here because I want to learn.

158

Short, clear, confident.

159

That is a perfect A1 answer.

160

Now let's level it up.

161

B1 answer.

162

Hi, my name is Maria.

163

I am currently finishing my business degree and I have been working part-time in retail for the past two years.

164

I'm really excited about this opportunity because I want to use my customer service skills in a more professional environment.

165

167

More detail, more confidence, more natural.

168

179

what are you good at i remember the first time someone

180

asked me this in english i completely froze what did you say i said i am very nice

181

and then i smiled very hopefully oh lily i know i

182

183

Here is a list of strong adjectives for this question.

184

Organized.

185

You plan things well.

186

Reliable.

187

People can trust you.

188

Hardworking.

189

You work a lot and seriously.

190

Creative.

A good communicator.

You talk and listen well.

194

Detail-oriented.

195

You pay attention into small things.

196

A fast learner.

197

You learn new things quickly.

198

And here is a very important tip.

199

Do not just say the word.

200

Give a small example.

201

For example, do not say, I am organized.

202

Full stop.

203

Silence.

204

Instead, say, I am a very organized person.

205

For example, in my last job,

206

I always finished my tasks before the deadline.

207

The example makes it real.

208

It makes the interviewer believe you.

209

Let's try a B1 level answer together.

210

One of my main strengths is that I am a reliable and detail-oriented person.

211

In my previous role, my manager often asked me to check important documents before they were sent

212

because she knew I would catch any mistakes.

213

I take a lot of pride in doing things carefully and correctly.

214

That is a fantastic answer.

215

Repeat key phrases after me.

216

One of my main strengths is...

217

Your turn.

218

For example, in my last job...

219

Your turn.

220

I take pride in doing things carefully.

221

Your turn.

222

Beautiful.

223

Keep going.

224

Okay, this is the one everyone hates.

225

Including me.

226

What is your weakness?

227

It means, what are you not good at?

228

What do you find difficult?

229

And the trick here is very important.

230

You must be honest, but you must also show that you are working on it.

231

Never say, I have no weaknesses.

232

That sounds fake.

233

Nobody believes you.

234

And never say something too big like,

235

I always arrive late or I get very angry easily.

236

Keep it professional and safe.

237

Here are some safe, smart weaknesses to use.

238

Sometimes I work too hard and forget to take breaks.

239

This actually sounds like a strength.

240

I used to struggle with public speaking,

241

but I have been practicing and I am getting much better.

242

I find it difficult to ask for help,

243

but I am learning that teamwork is important.

244

See the pattern?

245

Weakness, then but, then improvement.

246

The word used to is very helpful here.

247

I used to have this problem,

248

but now I am better.

249

Let's try a full B1 answer.

250

Honestly, one area I have been working on is my confidence in public speaking.

251

In the past, I felt quite nervous presenting in front of groups.

252

But over the last year,

253

I joined a small speaking club at my university,

254

and I have noticed a real improvement.

255

I actually gave a presentation to 30 people last month,

256

and it went really well.

257

That is a perfect answer.

258

It's honest, it shows growth,

259

and it ends on a positive note.

260

Key phrases.

261

One area I have been working on is… In the past,

262

I felt… but over the last year,

263

I… I have noticed a real improvement.

264

One area I have been working on is… Repeat.

265

But I have been working hard to improve.

266

Say it!

267

Question 4.

268

Why do you want this job?

269

Tom, please do not say, because I need money.

270

Even though it is true for many of us.

271

Very true.

272

But in a job interview,

273

you must connect your answer to the company.

284

I also love that you focus on teamwork and professional development.

The key is to show ambition, but also loyalty.

307

You do not want to say,

308

in five years I plan to start my own company and leave,

309

even if that is true.

310

Please do not say that.

A good B1 answer.
