Lektion wird erstellt...
1
I'm committed to working at a mission-driven organization like this one.
2
I'm passionate about marketing.
3
I haven't had any professional experience, though, which I hope is okay.
4
Let's get one thing straight.
5
As a recent grad myself, your interviewer is not expecting you to have a wealth of professional experience.
6
But they are looking for you to have certain qualities that make you right for the job.
7
Chances are you have those qualities.
8
You learn them in school, on sports teams, and extracurricular activities.
9
Interviewing for an entry-level job requires drawing from those experiences.
10
We're going to watch a few different entry-level job interviews in action, and I'm going to pop in throughout to give feedback on how things are going.
11
Let's get into it.
12
So tell me, what makes you interested in this industry?
13
Well, I've always wanted to be a product designer since I was a little girl.
14
I, of course, didn't know what the job of a product designer was then, but I was fascinated by people like Steve Jobs and knew I wanted to make products that changed the world.
15
I didn't focus on this so much in college.
16
My priority was kind of having a college experience, and I'm so lucky I got to do that.
17
But now it's time to start adulting.
18
And I really think this is the perfect place for me to grow my career.
19
I know that if someone took a chance on me, I would succeed.
20
Let's talk about what's working here.
21
First of all, the candidate comes across as confident and someone who has genuine interest in the position.
22
But she needs to be more specific.
23
Her points about prioritizing a college experience could raise some flags.
24
If she didn't study design in college, where has she learned it?
25
And how does she know she'll be successful in the role?
26
She should be explicit.
27
Hiring managers want you to be concise and specific when talking about yourself.
28
And let's see her redo that last part.
29
While I didn't study product design in college, I am familiar with the relevant design tools used in this role.
30
And I've taken online courses to learn more.
31
I'm really excited about this opportunity.
32
I'm a self-starter.
33
And when I don't know the answer, I'm not afraid to ask.
34
Hmm, much better.
35
Now let's see how another applicant responds to a similar question.
36
How has your experience prepared you for this role?
37
I'm committed to working at a mission-driven organization like this one.
38
I'm passionate about marketing.
39
I haven't had any professional experience though, which I hope is okay.
40
Jumping in real quick to say yes, it's okay if you don't have professional experience in the area you're applying for.
41
You do have other relevant experiences and transferable skills that you can communicate during an interview.
42
With that in mind, let's see this candidate kick off his answer a little differently.
43
Are you using the Indeed mobile app?
44
The app is free and makes it easy to apply right from your phone.
45
Click the link below or just search Indeed in the App Store.
46
Well, first of all, I am committed to working at a mission-driven organization like this one.
47
I'm passionate about marketing.
48
My undergrad coursework focused on understanding digital culture and the importance of representation in advertising.
49
And I'm eager to apply what I've learned to a professional setting.
50
Also, your company values really resonate with me.
51
They make you stand out from some of the other organizations I was considering.
52
I was listening to a recent speech the CEO gave,
53
and when she was talking about how we need to innovate faster and disrupt our own industry before others disrupt us,
54
I thought to myself, this is a place I would be lucky to contribute too.
55
Hmm.
56
Yes!
57
There's a ton of good stuff in this response.
58
First, referring to your academics is a great thing to do
59
when you don't have professional experience in the area you're applying for.
60
I also love that this candidate referenced his value alignment with the company.
61
But what I really found impressive was how he read up on the CEO prior to the interview.
62
He did his homework.
63
It's a small detail that really goes the extra mile and differentiates you from other candidates.
64
What was your biggest obstacle in college and how did you overcome it?
65
I'm a computer science major and prior to college I had absolutely zero STEM experience.
66
So when I was first learning to code Java, let's just say it was bumpy.
67
Things just weren't clicking for me and I knew I needed to make a change.
68
So I started a support group with some other students.
69
I put in hours of extra work and practice time on my own.
70
And I'm proud to say, after a lot of hard work, not only did I become proficient in Java and Python,
71
but I also was able to tutor some first year students.
72
I know that my career will be full of learning opportunities like this
73
and I'm eager to face them head on and continue to improve.
74
Wow.
75
This answer checked so many boxes.
76
She was confident, concise, and kept the answer professional you definitely don't want to talk about personal challenges in school.
77
She showed that she has the skills to identify problems and create solutions, not to mention a willingness to pay it forward.
78
If she has time to tutor and continue to do well in her classes, she must have some strong time management skills too.
79
Well done.
80
And now here's a question that pretty much everyone is bound to hear at one point or another.
81
So that's all I have.
82
I'm asking you all the questions.
83
So I really want to thank you for taking out the time to come in and see us today.
84
You're very well versed.
85
And before we wrap, do you have any questions for me?
86
Um, yeah.
87
Uh, what made you decide to go into sales?
88
Hope the interview isn't over.
89
This is an essential moment.
90
The hiring manager wants to see if you're a critical thinker and if you're curious about the organization.
91
asking, what made you go into sales?
92
Helps build a relationship, but doesn't give you insight into the company.
93
Here are some good questions to ask.
94
What's your favorite thing about working here?
95
What are some of the qualities that would make an entry-level candidate most successful in this role?
96
What advice would you give your younger self starting out in this industry?
97
We've covered a lot here that will help you ace your first interview.
98
Everyone starts with an entry-level job.
99
We've all been there, including myself.
100
The fact of the matter is that you have more relevant experience than you think, and the tools to tell a story that proves it.

Was du lernst

Dieses Video hilft dir, zwei zentrale Fähigkeiten für Einstellungsgespräche zu entwickeln: konkrete Beispiele zu nennen und transferierbare Fähigkeiten zu kommunizieren. Du lernst, wie du ohne Berufserfahrung durch klare Aussagen zu selbst erworbenem Wissen (z. B. Online-Kurse, Studieninhalte) überzeugst. Außerdem übst du, deine Motivation präzise zu formulieren – statt vager Äußerungen wie "ich will Karriere machen" konkrete Gründe für die Firma oder Branche zu nennen.

Horch auf diese Klänge

In den Dialogen tritt häufige Verbindung von Wörtern auf, die die Sprache flüssiger klingen lässt. Zum Beispiel: "I'm committed to working" wird zu [aɪm kəˈmɪtɪd tə ˈwɜːrkɪŋ] (das "t" in "to" wird zu einem leisen [ə]). Auch Reduktionen wie "I haven't had" → [aɪ ˈhævənt hæd] (das "ve" wird geschwächt) sind üblich. Achte darauf, wie native Sprecher "kind of" → [kaɪndəv] oder "I'm so lucky" → [aɪm soʊ ˈlʌki] flüssig verbinden – das macht deine Sprache natürlicher.

Sag es wie ein Native

Um den Rhythmus und die Betonung zu kopieren, nutze shadow speech: Wiederhole die Sätze direkt nach den Sprechern, ohne Pause. Achte auf die Betonung in Sätzen wie "My undergrad coursework focused on understanding digital culture" – hier wird "understanding" und "digital culture" betont, um die Relevanz hervorzuheben. Übe auch die intonation bei Fragen: "which I hope is okay?" klingt nach oben, um Unsicherheit auszudrücken, aber "I would succeed" fällt nach unten, um Überzeugung zu signalisieren. Mit einem shadowing site kannst du diese Übungen strukturiert durchführen – es hilft, deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und den Fluss der Sprache zu internalisieren. Denke daran: Klarheit und Konkretheit sind wichtiger als komplexe Wörter – native Sprecher schätzen präzise Aussagen, die zeigen, dass du die Rolle verstanden hast.

Grammatik in diesem Video

Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:

StrukturIm Video
Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig istI've always wanted · I've taken · I've learned
Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tutwas fascinated · is bound

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.
