1
Why should
2
you hire me?
3
Such a good question.
4
Well, I'm not a psychologist,
5
but based on your expressions,
6
I can feel that you're in a good mood today.
7
And since this is an amazing company to work for,
8
actually when I entered the facility,
9
there was a sign saying,
10
this is the best place to work.
11
What does that mean?
12
So that means that you want the best candidates ever.
13
So you don't want to hire somebody who's not going to be willing to work,
14
who's going to be responsible,
15
etc. I'm a good candidate,
16
I'm a responsible person, I can do my best to demonstrate how capable I am,
17
and I can add value to this company,
18
and I can work hard every single day in order to provide the best customer service ever.
19
So if you hire me,
20
I'm going to show you and the whole company
21
that I'm a good asset for this company to demonstrate to the customers who you guys hired.
22
Okay, that's a good question question okay I like using a
23
useful expression for this I'm a 4wd type of worker meaning
24
that I'm willing to face the music I will be your support
25
if you want me to burn the midnight oil I will be there
26
if you want me to work at Christmas or any holiday I will be there
27
if you give me a lion I will be your Daniel you bring the Joker I will be the Batman
28
if you want me to burn the candles at both ends I will be there I will face the music
29
and I will be able to do things
30
that only few people are willing to do if you give me the opportunity I will be there for you.
31
That's the reason why you should hire me.
32
Because I won't leave things unattended I will get the job done
33
if you want me to work different shifts I will do
34
it I will deal with any tough customer mammal amphibian elephant
35
whatever you want me to deal with I will be able to put
36
because I'm the type of person who is a 4WD type of work.
37
I like learning a little bit of this and a little bit of that,
38
which makes me the right fit for almost any scenario.
39
So that's the reason why you should hire me.
40
I have to be honest,
41
I have a little experience,
42
not so much, but I think it is enough for you to take me into account.
43
So I worked for seven months in a customer service account where I would always review customers' banking accounts.
44
I was in charge of reviewing fraud cases,
45
so I was a fraud investigator.
46
That's all the experience I have.
47
However, I'm aware of this account being a different account,
48
not related to fraud identity.
49
So if you allow me to work here,
50
and if you give me the opportunity,
51
I will do my best to gain even more experience because sometimes call center agents don't know a lot about customer service.
52
So I understand and I admit not having enough experience to resolve customers issues,
53
but I'm going to learn,
54
I'm going to school myself in order to provide the best
55
quality customer service ever okay for this question please let me quote chris garner from this movie
56
the pursuit of happiness is a movie that i like
57
so much and he said uh i'm the type of person
58
if you ask me a question
59
and i don't know the answer i'm gonna tell you that i don't know the the answer.
60
But I'm gonna bet you what.
61
I'm gonna learn the answer and I'm gonna find the answer
62
and that's the type of person that I am I'm always willing to learn
63
and that's what I want to do here
64
if you give me the opportunity I will learn
65
so much to be honest I don't have so much experience
66
but if you give me the opportunity I will be the best because that's what I am.
67
This has always been an interesting question and sometimes I find myself struggling to find the right answer.
68
However, I can be straight up to you and tell you that I like taking on certain challenges.
69
Most of them haven't been a problem to me because the harder a challenge is,
70
the more challenged I feel.
71
So when it's about achieving goals or when I have to achieve a goal I'm always there to challenge myself.
72
Besides I'm a very responsible person,
73
I'm a hard worker, I like to help other people,
74
I'm a kind person I'm a detail-oriented person so
75
when I have to deliver something
76
when I have to do something I always make sure to
77
number one hand it over on time number two review it carefully before I send it out
78
and number three I like to respect
79
and meet every single deadline well I'm an affable person meaning that I relish helping others.
80
I like giving the best quality possible to my customers because empathy means the word to me.
81
I always put myself in other people's shoes because empathy is the key word in these scenarios.
82
I like talking to other people.
83
I like helping others because customer service runs through my veins.
84
So that's the kind of person that you are gonna hire if you are willing to give me the opportunity.
85
If you ask me how do I see myself in five years,
86
that would be a rhetorical question.
87
However, I feel
88
that I'm an experienced person right now although I would like to have even more experience in five years
89
so if you hire me as a call center agent now I promise
90
that I do my best to grow both personally
91
and professionally right now I'm majoring in accounting
92
so in five years I'll be an accountant and I'll be promoted perhaps I'd be a manager
93
floor leader or I'll have any related job position.
94
So in five years I'll be able to talk to anybody in this company
95
and encourage the new call center agents
96
and tell them how I was able to grow and how I was able to build a career in this company.
97
Where do I see myself in five years?
98
Well, I see myself in five years being a manager,
99
at least a supervisor.
100
I have scutted down the path beforehand and I have found out
101
that I'm the right fit for this position
102
because I'm a versatile person capable of doing things that only a few people are willing to do.
103
So I will empower myself of doing things never done before.
104
So if you give me the opportunity,
105
you will finally be the best candidate for this position.
106
So I see myself being a good asset for your company.
107
Thank you.
108
you

¿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.
