30
Let's go!
31
But first, before we get into today's lesson,
32
I have a question for you.
33
Ooh!
34
Is the question about me again?
35
Do you think so?
36
Last week, Tom had a very important meeting,
37
and he made one very embarrassing mistake at the beginning of it.
38
Something he said made everyone in the room go completely silent.
39
Oh no. Don't tell them.
40
I'm not telling you yet.
41
You have to wait until the end of the episode.
42
One day it will be my turn too, Lily.
43
Leave your answer in the comments below and stay until the end to find out if you were right.
44
Drop your guesses down there.
45
We love reading your comments, every single one.
46
Okay, Tom, before we teach everyone the phrases,
47
let's talk about job interviews a little bit first.
48
Oh, job interviews.
49
My favorite topic, said no one ever.
50
Right?
51
They are so stressful, even in your first language.
52
Exactly.
53
And in English, for someone who is still learning,
54
it can feel like climbing a mountain.
55
But it does not have to be that scary.
56
Tom, have you ever had a job interview that went really badly?
57
Oh, Lily, yes.
58
Yes, I have.
59
I remember my very first job interview.
60
I was 19 years old.
61
What happened?
62
So they asked me, tell me about yourself, and I panicked completely.
63
I just said, um, I am Tom.
64
I like football?
65
You said you like football?
66
I was so nervous.
67
My brain just stopped working.
68
I had no idea what to say.
69
I had not prepared at all.
70
Did you get the job?
71
What do you think?
72
No. No, absolutely not.
73
They smiled very politely and said they would be in touch.
74
They were never in touch.
75
Aw, Tom, that is so painful but so relatable.
76
But here's the thing.
77
I learned from that experience,
78
and now I actually enjoy job interviews because I prepared,
79
I practiced, and I had the right phrases.
80
And that is exactly what we are going to give everyone today, the right phrases.
81
So nobody has to say,
82
I like football ever again.
83
Unless you really love football, then go for it.
84
Now, Tom, have you ever had a good interview,
85
one that went really well?
86
Actually, yes.
87
A few years ago, I interviewed for a podcast hosting job,
88
and I walked in so prepared.
89
I had practiced my answers at home.
90
I knew exactly what I was going to say.
91
And?
92
And I got the job.
93
And here we are.
94
Aw, I love that story.
95
Preparation is everything, people.
96
Everything.
97
Okay, before we get into the phrases,
98
let's talk about one grammar point that is super important in job interviews.
99
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.

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.

181
and then i smiled very hopefully oh lily i know i
182

Here is a list of strong adjectives for this question.

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

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

273

Übungstipps
Um das Sprechen auf Englisch zu verbessern, empfehlen wir Ihnen die Methode des shadowspeaks oder Englisch Shadowing. Bei dieser Technik wiederholen Sie die Phrasen und Sätze, die Sie hören, um Rhythmus, Intonation und Aussprache zu erlernen. Da der Sprecher in diesem Video in einem klaren und langsamen Tempo spricht, ist es ideal für Anfänger und leicht für das shadow speech geeignet.
Versuchen Sie, die Antworten zuerst laut nachzusprechen, während Sie auf die Mimik und den Ton des Sprechers achten. Es ist wichtig, nicht nur die Wörter zu wiederholen, sondern auch das Gefühl und die Emotionen, die hinter den Phrasen stehen. Praktizieren Sie regelmäßig, um Ihr Selbstbewusstsein im Englisch sprechen üben zu steigern. Wenn Sie diese Technik konsequent anwenden, werden Sie feststellen, dass sich Ihre Fähigkeiten im Umgang mit Vorstellungsgesprächen erheblich verbessern.
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.
