But before we hear these words comes The interview.

5
This is part one of a five-part series on preparing for an interview.
6
Interviewing for a new job can be a huge source of stress and anxiety.
7
And if you're interviewing for a job in a non-native language, the stress can be even higher.
8
In this video, you'll see me interview for a job.
9
Throughout the interview, we'll discuss some of the most common interview questions and how to answer them.
10
You'll also learn some basic information to get you started on creating your own answers to these questions.
11
Let's begin.
12
Hello, Ms.
13
Smith.
14
I'm Tom Kelly.
15
Thanks so much for coming in.
16
It's my pleasure.
17
Thanks so much for meeting with me.
18
Of course.
19
Did you have any trouble finding the office?
20
Small talk.
21
Most interviews will start out with a handshake and some small talk.
22
This may include questions about how you're doing, your travel to the interview, the weather, how your weekend went, and more.
23
All you need to do is be polite and friendly.
24
Keep your answers short.
25
You can also feel free to turn the question back to the interviewer.
26
For instance, if the interviewer asks you how your weekend was, you might respond, It was great!
27
We celebrated my mom's birthday.
28
How was your weekend?
29
Small talk is used to build a more comfortable environment before the interview begins.
30
It may seem silly, but you can practice small talk on your own by asking yourself simple, easy to answer, non-personal questions.
31
You could also practice with a friend.
32
Here's an example of small talk.
33
How are you doing?
34
I'm great, thank Thank you.
35
And you?
36
How are you doing?
37
I'm doing really well.
38
It's such a nice day out there.
39
It is.
40
It was perfect weather all weekend.
41
It was.
42
Did you do anything interesting over the weekend?
43
Yes, I went to the park with my family for a picnic.
44
That sounds nice.
45
It was.
46
And you?
47
I worked this weekend, but I got a lot done, so that was good.
48
It does feel good to get work done.
49
You can see we haven't said much of importance, but the conversation is friendly and open, and can make two people feel more comfortable in each other's presence.
50
Hello, Ms.
51
Smith.
52
I'm Tom Kelly.
53
Thanks so much for coming in.
54

57
Did you have any trouble finding the office?
58
Nope, the directions on the website were great.
59
Good.
60
Would you like some water or coffee before we begin?
61
I'm okay, thank you.
62
Alright.
63
So, to get started, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
64
Sure.
65
Common question.
66
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
67
It's very common for interviewers to simply ask you to tell them about yourself.
68
That can feel overwhelming.
69
But don't worry.
70
What they really want you to focus on is your education and work history.
71
You can also let them know what areas you have a lot of experience in, or what your interests are, when answering this question.
72
Here are a few different ways to begin your answer.
73
I studied at Harvard University and graduated in 2012 with a degree in business.
74
I've been working at Smith Incorporated for 10 years as a manager.
75
I have 12 years of experience in graphic design.
76
Because of my time at Verizon, I have a lot of experience in providing customer service.
77
If you're preparing for an interview, practice talking about yourself and your work history.
78
Record yourself with a video camera if possible.
79
Make sure it's not too long, maybe around a minute.
80
Go back and listen or watch, and write down phrases that worked well to use again.
81
If there was anything you stumbled over or left out, write down some possible phrases you could have used.
82
The next day, do the same exercise.
83
It's important that you don't just write a paragraph and memorize it, but simply practice free talking with some key phrases.
84
The more you practice before the interview, the more comfortable you'll feel answering the questions during the interview.
85
So, to get started, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
86
Sure!
87
I studied at the University of Florida and graduated in 2010 with a master's degree in toy design.
88
After graduation, I was hired at Happy Kids Creative.
89
I've been there for the past five years and am currently the director of toy production.
90
During that time, sales have grown steadily.
91
It's been a great experience, but I've run out of room to grow with HKC, and I'm looking for new opportunities.
92
I have a lot of experience leading teams in the creative process and finding new markets for the products that we create.
93
That's great.
94
To be continued.
95
We'll pick it up from here in the next video in this series.
96
In the next video, we'll go over three more common interview questions.
97
How did you hear about this position?
98
What attracted you to our company?
99
And, what's your greatest strength?

There's nothing better than walking out of an interview feeling that you were fully prepared.

Über diese Lektion

In dieser Lektion werden Sie sich auf die Vorbereitung auf Vorstellungsgespräche in amerikanischem Englisch konzentrieren. Wir werden die Grundlagen beleuchten, wie man ein Vorstellungsgespräch erfolgreich meistert, einschließlich der Beantwortung häufiger Fragen und der Wichtigkeit von small talk. Diese Kenntnisse sind besonders nützlich, wenn Sie sich auf ein Interview in einer Sprache vorbereiten, die nicht Ihre Muttersprache ist. Ziel ist es, nicht nur Ihre sprachlichen Fähigkeiten zu verbessern, sondern auch Ihr Selbstvertrauen im Umgang mit typischen Situationen in Vorstellungsgesprächen zu stärken.

Wichtiger Wortschatz & Phrasen

  • Hallo, wie geht es Ihnen? – Eine gängige Begrüßung.
  • Konnte ich das Büro gut finden? – Eine Frage, die in small talk verwendet wird.
  • Es war großartig! – Eine positive Antwort auf Fragen zur Freizeit.
  • Wie war Ihr Wochenende? – Eine typische small talk-Frage.
  • Das klingt schön. – Eine Bestätigung, die in Gesprächen verwendet wird.
  • Ich habe am Wochenende gearbeitet. – Beispiel einer Antwort, die Arbeitserfahrung anspricht.
  • Es ist so ein schöner Tag. – Ein weiteres Beispiel für small talk.
  • Danke, dass Sie sich mit mir getroffen haben. – Eine höfliche Dankesformel.

Übungstipps

Um Ihr Englisch zu verbessern, insbesondere in Vorstellungsgesprächen, empfehlen wir Ihnen, die Technik des shadowing zu nutzen. Diese Methode beinhaltet das Nachsprechen von Audio- oder Videoaufnahmen im gleichen Tempo, was die Sprachmelodie und den Rhythmus verbessert. Besonders bei diesem Video, wo die Gespräche klar und verständlich sind, können Sie die Fragen und Antworten nachahmen. Achten Sie dabei auf die Intonation und den Ausdruck der Sprecher.

Besonders wichtig ist es, den shadow speech-Ansatz nicht zu überstürzen. Beginnen Sie langsam und steigern Sie das Tempo mit der Zeit, während Sie sich sicherer fühlen. Nutzen Sie den Inhalt um den shadow speak zu üben, indem Sie Ihre eigenen Antworten formulieren und anschließend die Antworten des Videos imitieren.

Üben Sie auch mit einem Freund, um die Ansprache in einer realistischen Umgebung zu simulieren. Indem Sie Fragen stellen und Antworten geben, können Sie nicht nur besser Englisch sprechen, sondern auch Ihre Selbstsicherheit bei Vorstellungsgesprächen erhöhen. Nutzen Sie diese Gelegenheit, um gezielt Englisch sprechen zu üben und sich optimal auf bevorstehende Interviews vorzubereiten.

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.
