I'm the head of HR at Smart Tech.

How are you doing today?
4
Oh, hi Vance.
5
I'm doing great, thank you.
6
It's nice to meet you.
7
Where are you calling from today?
8
Oh, I live in Taipei.
9
Really?
10
I've been there before.
11
It's a really big city and great food.
12
Yes, the food is really good here.
13
So David, let's start off the interview with you telling me what you know about our company.
14
Well, I've known about Smart Tech for a long time.
15
I know your company specializes in internet search and web solutions.
16
I personally use your ABC software suite for my everyday workflow and communications.
17
Yeah, I love smart tech.
18
That's why I want to work there.
19
That's nice to hear.
20
So, how familiar are you with Java, Python, and CSS?
21
Yeah, I have experience with a lot of different programming languages.
22
Mostly with Java, Python, and C++.
23
I first started learning those languages back in college.
24
Those were my daily tools during my previous job.
25
As for CSS, I'm really excited about learning CSS or whatever other languages are needed for this position.
26
Great!
27
So what's the most challenging project you've worked on during the past few years?
28
Well, I just finished a 3-month project updating the user experience for our website.
29
I was the project manager,
30
but I also had to write some of the code myself.
31
It was a challenging task because I had to manage everything and coordinate all of the team members.
32
But everything turned out really well.
33
Great.
34
And looking at your resume,
35
I see that you worked for a few different tech companies.
36
Which one did you work on the UX project for?
37
That was with my last company, Lingon.edu.
38
They're an online educational platform based here in Taipei.
39
I see.
40
And do you mind my asking why you're leaving?
41
Sure.
42
No problem.
43
Well, the company had grown a lot over the past few years.
44
I learned a lot while there.
45
However, the management has gone through a lot of changes recently
46
and they were wanting me to give up my weekends to work overtime.
47
I came to realize it was having a negative effect on my health and my family.
48
I thought it would be best to look for other opportunities.
49
I can understand.
50
Yeah, when you don't have your health or your family suffers,
51
then you have to make a change.
52
David, I'd like us to do a quick coding exercise.
53
Can you please write 20 to 30 lines in your strongest language
54
and explain for me the process as you're writing the code?
55
Sure, I'll give it my best try.
56
Okay, everything looks great.
57
Lastly, I noticed you speak really good English.
58
How long have you been studying English?
59
Well, all students here start learning English from elementary school,
60
but my parents also sent me to an English cram school three times a week.
61
I think I started going there when I was in fifth grade.
62
Yeah, that's right.
63
Well, I think you speak really well.
64
At Smart Tech, we want our employees not only to be the best at programming,
65
but also have good communication skills.
66
A good grasp of English is so important for success here.
67
Well, thanks for the compliment.
68
I think my English could be better,
69
but I really enjoy speaking English whenever I get the chance.
70
Okay, well that about wraps up the interview for today.
71
Do you have any questions for me?
72
Actually, yes.
73
I was wondering what the next step was in the application process.
74

75
It may take up to two months to hear back from us.
76

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
