Job interview.
2
Good afternoon, Mr. Carter.
3
Thanks for coming in today.
4
Good afternoon.
5
Please have a seat.
6
To start, can you tell me a bit about yourself?
7
Sure.
8
My name is Alex Carter.
9
I'm 23 years old.
10
And I just graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor's degree in business administration.
11
I focused on marketing and management.
12
During college, I did a six-month internship at a local startup where I helped with customer outreach and social media.
13
Great!
14
Why are you interested in this business development associate role at our company?
15
I really like your company because you make innovative apps for small businesses.
16
I want to work for a fast-moving tech company where I can learn quickly.
17
This role matches my skills,
18
and I think I can add value by finding new partners and clients.
19
What do you think are your strongest skills?
20
My top strengths are communication and organization.
21
I'm good at talking to people,
22
both in person and online.
23
I'm also quick to learn new software.
24
That's useful.
25
Can you tell me about a time you faced a challenge and how you handled it?
26
Yes, in my senior year,
27
I led a group project for a marketing class.
28
But two team members were sick and couldn't contribute much.
29
The deadline was tight.
30
I reorganized the work, talked to everyone clearly about new tasks,
31
and stayed late a few nights to help finish.
32
We got an A on the project,
33
and the professor said our plan was the best in the class.
34
Nice example.
35
Teamwork is key here.
36
What do you know about our products?
37
Your best seller is a simple app that helps small shops manage inventory,
38
payments, and customer loyalty.
39
I like that it's easy to use and affordable.
40
Good research.
41
One more question.
42
What have you taught yourself recently?
43
I recently taught myself how to better understand a company's product and explain its value clearly to potential customers.
44
Thank you, Alex.
45
We'll be in touch next week with our decision.
46
Thank you so much for the opportunity.
47
I look forward to hearing from you.
48
Negotiating in English.
49
Prices, deadlines, offers.
50
Hi, Jake.
51
This is Mia from BuzzBox.
52
We love your phone cases.
53
Super cool designs.
54
Hi, Mia.
55
Great to hear.
56
We want 5,000 pieces for our new store.
57
What's your best price?
58
Our normal price is $4.50 each.
59
Delivery in 20 days.
60
Good quality, fast shipping.
61
Wow! $4.50?
62
That's almost the price of my morning coffee for a year!
63
Can we start lower?
64
My opening offer is $2.99 each.
65
And maybe 10 days delivery?
66
$2.99?
67
You're killing me, Mia.
68
At that price, I'll have to eat noodles for lunch forever.
69
Our costs are high because of the colorful prints.
70
But okay, I can do $3.80 if you take 15 days delivery.
71
Noodles?
72
No way!
73
Let's meet in the middle.
74
How about $3.40 and 12 days?
75
Plus, if it's fast, I'll order more next month.
76
Promise.
77
You drive a hard bargain,
78
but I like your style.
79
$3.50 and 14 days.
80
Deal?
81
Yes, deal!
82
You're the best!
83
Send the contract and maybe throw in a free sample for my coffee fund?
84
Okay, one free case coming your way.
85
Talk soon!
86
Disagreeing diplomatically I think we should add a premium version with extra colors and faster charging.
87
Customers will pay more for it.
88
I see your point, David.
89
And premium versions can bring more profit.
90
However, I'm not sure it's the best idea right now.
91
Our main customers want simple and affordable products.
92
Adding too many options might make the basic model look less attractive.
93
Hmm.
94
I don't think it will look less attractive.
95
I'm afraid I see it a little differently.
96
Maybe we can start with just one version and add premium later if sales are good.
97
This way, we keep things simple and test the market first.
98
I agree with Sophie.
99
Premium could work, but not for the first launch.
100
Exactly.
101
I respect your idea, David,
102
but I think starting simple is safer.
103
Fair enough.
104
I hadn't thought about confusing customers.
105
Let's go with one version for now and review in three months.
106
Thanks for understanding.
107
I just want the launch to be successful for everyone.
108
Small talk that actually works in business.
109
Hi Daniel, nice to see you again.
110
How was your trip to Berlin?
111
Hi, Emma.
112
Nice to see you, too.
113
It was great.
114
Thank you.
115
The meetings went well, and I had some time to explore the city.
116
That's good to hear.
117
I've never been to Berlin,
118
but I've heard it's very creative and international.
119
Yes, it really is.
120
I was surprised by how friendly people are.
121
Have you traveled much for work recently?
122
A little.
123
Last month I went to Madrid for a conference.
124
It was busy, but very interesting.
125
Madrid is a great city.
126
Did you enjoy the conference?
127
Yes, especially the sessions about teamwork and communication.
128
They were very practical.
129
That sounds useful.
130
By the way, how is your new project going?
131
It's going well.
132
Thanks for asking.
133
We're still in the planning stage,
134
but the team is very motivated.
135
That's great!
136
If you ever need support from our department, just let me know.
137
Thank you, Emma.
138
I really appreciate that.
139
You're welcome.
140
Well, shall we head to the meeting room?
141
Yes, let's go.
142
Getting your point across without being rude.
143
Priya, do you have a moment?
144
I was hoping we could talk about how feedback is shared in meetings.
145
Of course.
146
What's on your mind?
147
I don't want this to sound negative, but...
148
when issues are raised very directly in front of everyone,
149
it can sometimes feel discouraging.
150
I see what you mean.
151
That wasn't my intention at all.
152
I tend to be very direct because I want to save time.
153
That makes sense.
154
At the same time, I feel some feedback might be more effective if it's shared privately.
155
That's a good point.
156
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
157
Just to be clear, I really respect your leadership.
158
I'm simply trying to share how the team experiences those moments.
159
I appreciate that.
160
I'm glad you mentioned it in such a constructive way.
161
Perhaps we could consider giving sensitive feedback one-on-one and keeping meetings more solution-focused.
162
I like that suggestion.
163
I'll definitely keep it in mind going forward.
164
Thanks, Priya.
165
I'm glad we could have an open conversation.
166
Interrupting politely.
167
So, for the launch, I think June 21st is perfect.
168
The summer season starts, and...
169
Sorry to interrupt, Tom, but could I just add something quickly?
170
I check the calendar, and our main competitor launches their new product on June 15th.
171
If we go on the 10th,
172
we might get more attention before they do.
173
Oh, good catch.
174
I didn't know that.
175
May I interrupt for a second, too?
176
Sorry, but June 10th is during a big holiday weekend here.
177
Many people travel, so online sales could drop.
178
You're right, Lisa.
179
Thanks for pointing that out.
180
No worries about the interruptions.
181
They're helpful.
182
Let's look at June 1st to 7th, then.
183
Does that work better?
184
Yes.
185
Let's check availability.
186
Of course.
187
I just wanted to make sure we don't miss a good opportunity.
188
Thanks, everyone, for keeping us on the right path.
189
Asking for clarification.
190
Our plan is to target millennials with short videos on TikTok and Instagram Reels.
191
We'll use influencers who have over 50,000 followers.
192
That sounds interesting, Alex.
193
But could you clarify one thing?
194
When you say short videos,
195
how long do you mean?
196
Like 15 seconds or up to one minute?
197
Good question.
198
I mean 15 to 30 seconds.
199
Quick and fun.
200
Thanks.
201
That's clear now.
202
And another thing, sorry to ask,
203
but what budget do we have for influencers?
204
Is it included in the $60,000 or separate?
205
It's separate.
206
We have an extra $10,000 just for influencers.
207
I see.
208
Just to make sure I understand,
209
we pay influencers directly, right?
210
Not through an agency?
211
Yes, directly.
212
It saves money.
213
Perfect.
214
Thank you for explaining.
215
Now I get the full picture.
216
This will help me prepare my part better.
217
No problem at all.
218
It's good to check these details.
219
Bringing a meeting back on track.
220
So, the design is ready but let's talk about suppliers.
221
Last time we used Evermark Group.
222
They were late.
223
Sorry, Ryan, but I'm afraid we're going a bit off topic.
224
We're discussing the timeline now, not suppliers.
225
Oh, right.
226
Sorry.
227
No problem.
228
Let's stay focused on the schedule.
229
We need to decide dates for testing and final approval.
230
Yes, and we also need to talk about the launch event.
231
Who will speak?
232
I think our CEO… Could we come back to that later?
233
We're still on the timeline.
234
Let's finish the dates first,
235
then move to the event.
236
Sure, good idea.
237
To bring us back on track,
238
today's main goal is to agree on the launch dates.
239
So far, we have testing in April and production in May.
240
Does everyone agree?
241
Yes, let's lock that in.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
