About This Lesson
In this lesson, you'll learn how to confidently and clearly answer common job interview questions in English. Specifically, we will focus on two essential questions: "Tell me about yourself" and "Why do you want this job?" Through this practice, you will build the skills necessary to articulate your experiences and motivations effectively. This focused approach will enhance your speaking abilities, making you more prepared for future job interviews.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases
- Tell me about yourself - A common question to introduce your background in an interview.

- University - An institution for higher education where students can gain degrees.
- Team player - A person who works well with others in a group.

Practice Tips
To truly master these interview responses, consider using a shadowing app to practice. This technique is effective when trying to emulate the pace and tone of native speakers. A great option for this is shadowspeak, where you can listen and repeat phrases to improve your fluency. When working on this lesson, pay attention to the speaker's intonation and rhythm; this will help you sound more natural during interviews.
Start by looking for the phrases taught in this video. For instance, practice the introduction: "My name is [Your Name]. I’m from [Your Country]." Shadow the speaker while watching, mimicking their speed and confidence. Use shadow speak techniques by repeating sentences out loud after each pause. This will help you internalize the structure and enhance your vocabulary.
An excellent way to combine learning is to learn English with YouTube videos like this one, as they provide practical examples and contexts that make it easier to remember. Practice consistently, and don’t hesitate to make mistakes—they are part of the learning process! After mastering the basic responses, try answering variations of the questions, and focus on your delivery. With time and practice, particularly through methods like shadowspeaks, you'll become more comfortable and confident in your speaking abilities.
Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
