1
Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English Channel,
2
where learning English is easy and fun.
3
I'm Emily.
4
And I'm Paul.
5
Hello, hello.
6
Emily, how are you today?
7
Are you feeling good?
8
I am doing great, Paul.
9
Thank you for asking.
10
The sun is shining and I'm ready to talk about something super important for everyone learning English.
11
How about you?
12
Are you good?
13
I'm fantastic, Emily.
14
Absolutely fantastic.
15
I love sunny days and I love talking about English, especially when it helps our wonderful listeners.
16
So what exciting topic do we have today?
17
I'm curious.
18
Well, Paul, today we are going to talk about something that can be a little bit scary for some people,
19
but it doesn't have to be.
20
We're talking about job interview questions in English.
21
Oh, wow.
22
That's a very, very helpful topic, Emily.
23
Many people want to get a good job, and sometimes the interview is in English, that can be a challenge.
24
Yes, exactly.
25
But we want to make it easy.
26
We will talk about some common questions and how to answer them simply.
27
Before we start, please, please, please remember to like this video, subscribe to Mr. English Channel,
28
and share it with your friends.
29
It helps us a lot.
30
Yes, please do.
31
Give us a like and subscribe.
32
It's very important for us to grow and help more people.
33
Okay, Emily, I'm ready.
34
What's the first common question people hear in a job interview?
35
Okay, the very first one, and it's almost always the first one, is tell me about yourself.
36
Hmm.
37
Tell me about yourself.
38
That sounds easy, but maybe it's tricky.
39
What should people say?
40
Should they talk about their family?
41
Their hobbies?
42
That's a good question, Paul.
43
It's tricky because it's open.
44
But for a job interview, you should focus on your work life.
45
Talk about your experience, your skills, and why you are a good fit for this job.
46
Ah, so not about my cat Mittens or my favorite food Pizza.
47
Got it.
48
Focus on work.
49
So maybe something like, I am a marketing assistant and I have three years of experience in creating social media campaigns.
50
Is that good?
51
Yes, Paul, that's perfect.
52
Short, clear, and focused on work.
53
You can also add something about your education if it's related.
54
For example, I studied business at university.
55
Okay, so keep it short, positive, and about work.
56
Got it.
57
What's the next common question, Emily?
58
I'm ready for it.
59
The next one is also very common.
60
Why do you want to work here?
61
Hmm, why do you want to work here?
62
This one means I need to know about the company, right?
63
Yes, exactly, Paul.
64
You need to do a little bit of research before the interview.
65
Look at the company website.
66
What do they do?
67
What are their goals?
68
Then, say why you like their company.
69
So, I shouldn't say because I need money, even if it's true?
70
Well, Paul, it's true for everyone but it's not the best answer for an interview.
71
You can say something like, I am very interested in your company because you help people with technology and I love technology.
72
Or I like your company's mission to protect the environment.
73
Ah, so connect my interests or values with the company's work.
74
That makes sense.
75
It shows I care about their company, not just any company.
76
Good tip.
77
What's next on our list?
78
Okay, the third common question is, what are your strengths?
79
Strengths.
80
That means things I am good at, right?
81
Like, I am good at cooking.
82
Yes, Paul.
83
Things you are good at.
84
But again, try to think about your work strengths.
85
Are you a good communicator?
86
Are you organized?
87
Are you good at solving problems?
88
Oh, so like, my strength is that I am very organized and I always finish my tasks on time.
89
Is that a good one?
90
Yes, that's excellent, Paul.
91
Or, I am a good team player.
92
I like to work with others.
93
Or, I am very good at learning new things quickly.
94
Choose one or two strengths that are important for the job.
95
Okay, so focus on work -related strengths and don't list ten things.
96
Just one or two strong points.
97
Got it.
98
What about the opposite question, Emily?
99
Do they ask about weaknesses?
100
They often do, Paul.
101
The next question is, what are your weaknesses?
102
Oh, weaknesses.
103
Things I am not good at.
104
This one feels a little scary.
105
Should I say I'm lazy?
106
No, Paul.
107
Please don't say you're lazy.
108
This question is tricky, but it's a chance to show you are self -aware and that you are working to improve.
109
So don't say a weakness that is very bad for the job.
110
Hmm.
111
So how can I answer this without sounding bad?
112
You can choose a small weakness and then say how you are working to make it better.
113
For example, sometimes I am too critical of my own work, but I am learning to trust my decisions more.
114
Or, I used to be shy, but I am practicing speaking more in meetings.
115
Ah, so it's not just I'm bad at this, but I'm working on it.
116
That's smart.
117
So, So, a weakness that isn't a big problem for the job, and then say how you are improving.
118
Great advice.
119
What's next, Emily?
120
The next one is also very common.
121
Where do you see yourself in five years?
122
Where do you see yourself in five years?
123
Five years?
124
That's a long time.
125
What if I don't know?
126
It's okay if you don't have a very specific plan, Paul.
127
But the interviewer wants to see that you have goals and that you are thinking about your career.
128
You can say something related to growing in the company.
129
So not on a beach in Hawaii?
130
Probably not the best answer for this question.
131
You can say, I hope to be a valuable member of your team and take on more responsibility.
132
Or, I want to continue learning and growing in my field.
133
Ah, so show that I want to stay with the company and develop my skills.
134
That makes sense.
135
It shows loyalty and ambition.
136
Good, good.
137
What's the next important question?
138
Okay, this one is about your past work.
139
Why did you leave your last job?
140
Or, why are you leaving your current job?
141
Why did you leave your last job?
142
This one can be sensitive.
143
What if I didn't like my old boss?
144
Yes, it can be sensitive.
145
It's very important to be positive and professional.
146
Never, ever speak badly about your old boss or company.
147
Always focus on positive reasons for leaving.
148
So, no complaints.
149
Even if I had them.
150
Okay, so what are good positive reasons?
151
You can say, I am looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow.
152
Or, I want to work for a company where I can use my skills more effectively.
153
Or, I am looking for a company with a better culture fit.
154
So always focus on what you want next and what is positive about the new opportunity.
155
Never talk negatively about the past.
156
That's a very important rule for interviews.
157
Got it.
158
Okay, Paul.
159
We've covered some really important questions so far.
160
Let's recap them quickly.
161
We have, tell me about yourself.
162
Why do you want to work here?
163
What are your strengths?
164
What are your weaknesses?
165
Where do you see yourself in five years?
166
And why did you leave your last job?
167
That's a good list.
168
Wow.
169
Yes, Emily.
170
That's a very helpful list for anyone preparing for an interview.
171
It's like a cheat sheet for success.
172
What's next?
173
Are there more common questions?
174
Oh, yes.
175
There are always a few more common ones.
176
The next one is about problem solving.
177
Describe a time you faced a challenge at work, and how you overcame it.
178
Describe a time you faced a challenge.
179
Hmm.
180
So, they want to hear a story, right?
181
A short story about a problem and a solution.
182
Yes, exactly.
183
They want to see how you think and how you solve problems.
184
Choose a real example, even a small one, then tell them, what was the problem,
185
what did you do, and what was the result?
186
Okay, so, like, one time a customer was very angry.
187
I listened carefully to their problem, and then I offered a solution.
188
The customer was happy in the end.
189
Is that good?
190
Yes, Paul.
191
That's a perfect example.
192
It shows you can handle difficult situations.
193
Or you can say, my team had a deadline and we had a small problem.
194
I found a new way to do the task and we finished on time.
195
I see.
196
So focus on my action and the positive outcome.
197
This is good.
198
It shows my skills in action.
199
What's the next one, Emily?
200
I'm learning so much today.
201
Emily Hanks, Great, Paul.
202
I'm happy to hear that.
203
The next question is often about teamwork.
204
Are you a team player?
205
Or do you prefer to work alone or in a team?
206
Paul Jay, Are you a team player?
207
For many jobs, working with others is very important.
208
So the answer should be yes, right?
209
Emily Hanks, Yes, absolutely, Paul.
210
Paul, most companies want people who can work well with others.
211
You can say, Yes, I am a strong team player.
212
I enjoy collaborating with colleagues.
213
Or, I like working in a team because we can achieve more together.
214
Okay, so emphasize working with others.
215
Can I also say that I can work alone when needed?
216
Sometimes I need to focus by myself.
217
Yes, that's a very good point, Paul.
218
You can add that.
219
For example, I am a strong team player, but I am also able to work independently when needed.
220
This shows flexibility.
221
That's a great addition.
222
Perfect.
223
Flexibility is a good quality.
224
What's another question, Emily?
225
Keep them coming.
226
This one is very important, Paul.
227
Do you have any questions for us?
228
Do you have any questions for us?
229
Oh, yes, at the end of the interview.
230
Should I say, no thank you?
231
No, Paul, never say no thank you.
232
This is your chance to show you are interested in the job and the company.
233
Always, always have one or two questions ready.
234
Oh, so it's a test.
235
What kind of questions should I ask?
236
Not, when do I get paid?
237
Right?
238
Definitely not.
239
When do I get paid?
240
Good questions are about the team, the daily tasks or future plans for the company.
241
For example, what does a typical day look like in this role?
242
Or what are the next steps in the hiring process?
243
Oh, those are good questions.
244
They show I'm thinking about the job and the future.
245
So always ask a question, even if it's a simple one.
246
Don't waste this opportunity.
247
That's a very important tip.
248
We are doing great, Paul.
249
We've covered many common questions.
250
Let's think about a few more that might come up.
251
How about this one?
252
What are your salary expectations?
253
Salary expectations.
254
This means how much money I want to make, right?
255
This one could be difficult.
256
What if I say too much or too little?
257
Yes, it can be tricky, Paul.
258
It's a good idea to do a little research before the interview about the typical salary for that job in that city.
259
You can give a range instead of a fixed number.
260
Or you can say, I am open to discussing salary based on the full compensation package.
261
So, I can say something like, I expect a salary between X and Y dollars.
262
depending on the benefits or just say I'm flexible.
263
Okay, that makes it less scary.
264
Good advice.
265
Exactly.
266
It shows you are flexible and reasonable.
267
Another common question is, how do you handle pressure or stress?
268
How do you handle pressure?
269
Hmm.
270
Do they want me to say I never have stress?
271
That's not true.
272
No, Paul.
273
Everyone has stress sometimes.
274
They want to know how you manage it.
275
You can say, I try to stay calm and focus on one task at a time.
276
Or, I make a list of priorities to manage my tasks.
277
Ah, so focus on the strategies I use to manage pressure, not just saying I don't have it.
278
That's smart it shows problem solving skills again i like
279
that what else emily another one is often why are you
280
the best candidate for this job why are you the best candidate

285
because I have X years of experience and I am very good at Y, which is important for this job.
286
Is that it?
287
Yes, perfect.
288
You can also mention your passion for the work or your positive attitude.

292
Make it clear why I am the right person.
293
Great!
294

Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | We've covered · has been |
| Ratschlag mit „should“ should + Verb – sagen, was eine gute Idee ist | should people say · Should they talk · should focus |
| Superlativ the -est / the most … – das Höchste oder Niedrigste einer Gruppe | the best |
| Verb + -ing enjoy, keep, stop … + -ing – Verben, auf die die -ing-Form folgt | love talking · enjoy collaborating · practice answering |
Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 34 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel I'm, don't, we've. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: shine /ʃaɪn/, expectation /ˌɛk.spɛkˈteɪ.ʃən/, passion /ˈpæʃən/, sheet /ʃit/, compensation /ˌkɑm.pənˈseɪ.ʃən/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: flexibility /ˌflɛksɪˈbɪlɪti/, expectation /ˌɛk.spɛkˈteɪ.ʃən/, priority /pɹaɪˈɒɹɪti/, incredibly /ɪŋˈkɹɛdɪbli/, compensation /ˌkɑm.pənˈseɪ.ʃən/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: solve /sɒlv/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/, sensitive /ˈsɛn.sɪt.ɪv/, organize /ˈɔɹɡənaɪz/, package /ˈpæk.ɪd͡ʒ/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: salary /ˈsæləɹi/, package /ˈpæk.ɪd͡ʒ/, badly /ˈbæd.li/, passion /ˈpæʃən/, wrap /ɹæp/
So übst du mit diesem Video
- Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
- Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.

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.
