Shadowing Practice: Interview Etiquette - Good Example - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hi, you must be Barbara.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

You as well.

Thanks for coming in today.

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Yeah, we've been really looking forward to meeting you.

We've taken a good look at your resume and we're really impressed with your experiences in logistics.

Yes, I've had experience working with similar companies, some of them in the area, but all of them involved with logistics.

Excellent.

And would you be interested in upgrading the skills you currently

have as they relate to the programs mentioned in our job ad?

Well, I chose to stay at home and raise my three children until they were of school age, but I'd look forward to any upgrading that's available, and I could even fit in some online courses on the weekends.

Sure.

I know that my work in AS400 is still current, but I look forward to updating what I've done in ERP applications.

Okay, that's great, Barbara.

Do you find that working with others comes easily to you, or do you prefer to work on your own?

Because I've always worked with smaller companies, I've often been pretty much on my own, but I'd welcome the chance to be a part of a team approach,

as I think I have plenty of experience that others would find valuable.

Perfect.

And would you say that you've taken the lead on team projects in the past?

And if so, could you provide us with a few examples?

While I haven't had the opportunity to work with teams in logistics, I've often worked with management to resolve problems with distribution

and to allocate work among our employees in order to maintain peak productivity.

Okay, that's great.

So those are the main questions that we have for you, but do you have any questions for us, Barbara?

I understand that this is a contract position, but are there chances that it could evolve into full -time work?

I'm ready to return to the workforce and take on long -term work.

My youngest is in JK, but we've arranged to cover all of our child care needs.

Perfect.

Well, it's difficult for me to say right now for sure, but I can definitely see how interested you are in this position, even as a contract role that will hopefully evolve into a permanent position.

Are there any other questions that I can help answer?

No, not at the moment, but I will definitely follow up by email if I think of anything else.

Yeah, absolutely.

You can email me at any time.

The only other thing I'm noticing here is that I don't have a list of references on your resume.

Do you have any contacts we could get in touch with from previous placements?

I'd be happy to provide you with references.

With the number of similar placements I've had and the realization that you'd be receiving a lot of resumes, I want it to be as concise as possible.

Sure, I understand.

And we'll certainly be in touch with some of your most recent employers then.

I've been in touch with my former employers, and they said they'd be happy to hear from you.

Okay, perfect.

And if you do have any other information that would be helpful for us to know about those most recent placements, please send it along to me, and that would be great.

Thank you so much for the chance to meet with you.

I've really enjoyed it.

Great.

It's my pleasure, Barbara.

We'll be in touch in the next few days after we've finished our interviews.

All right.

Thank you so much.

I'll see you next time.

¿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.
