Pratica di Shadowing: How to Ace an Entry Level Interview | Mock Job Interviews | Indeed Career Tips - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
I'm committed to working at a mission-driven organization like this one.
2
I'm passionate about marketing.
3
I haven't had any professional experience, though, which I hope is okay.
4
Let's get one thing straight.
5
As a recent grad myself, your interviewer is not expecting you to have a wealth of professional experience.
6
But they are looking for you to have certain qualities that make you right for the job.
7
Chances are you have those qualities.
8
You learn them in school, on sports teams, and extracurricular activities.
9
Interviewing for an entry-level job requires drawing from those experiences.
10
We're going to watch a few different entry-level job interviews in action, and I'm going to pop in throughout to give feedback on how things are going.
11
Let's get into it.
12
So tell me, what makes you interested in this industry?
13
Well, I've always wanted to be a product designer since I was a little girl.
14
I, of course, didn't know what the job of a product designer was then, but I was fascinated by people like Steve Jobs and knew I wanted to make products that changed the world.
15
I didn't focus on this so much in college.
16
My priority was kind of having a college experience, and I'm so lucky I got to do that.
17
But now it's time to start adulting.
18
And I really think this is the perfect place for me to grow my career.
19
I know that if someone took a chance on me, I would succeed.
20
Let's talk about what's working here.
21
First of all, the candidate comes across as confident and someone who has genuine interest in the position.
22
But she needs to be more specific.
23
Her points about prioritizing a college experience could raise some flags.
24
If she didn't study design in college, where has she learned it?
25
And how does she know she'll be successful in the role?
26
She should be explicit.
27
Hiring managers want you to be concise and specific when talking about yourself.
28
And let's see her redo that last part.
29
While I didn't study product design in college, I am familiar with the relevant design tools used in this role.
30
And I've taken online courses to learn more.
31
I'm really excited about this opportunity.
32
I'm a self-starter.
33
And when I don't know the answer, I'm not afraid to ask.
34
Hmm, much better.
35
Now let's see how another applicant responds to a similar question.
36
How has your experience prepared you for this role?
37
I'm committed to working at a mission-driven organization like this one.
38
I'm passionate about marketing.
39
I haven't had any professional experience though, which I hope is okay.
40
Jumping in real quick to say yes, it's okay if you don't have professional experience in the area you're applying for.
41
You do have other relevant experiences and transferable skills that you can communicate during an interview.
42
With that in mind, let's see this candidate kick off his answer a little differently.
43
Are you using the Indeed mobile app?
44
The app is free and makes it easy to apply right from your phone.
45
Click the link below or just search Indeed in the App Store.
46
Well, first of all, I am committed to working at a mission-driven organization like this one.
47
I'm passionate about marketing.
48
My undergrad coursework focused on understanding digital culture and the importance of representation in advertising.
49
And I'm eager to apply what I've learned to a professional setting.
50
Also, your company values really resonate with me.
51
They make you stand out from some of the other organizations I was considering.
52
I was listening to a recent speech the CEO gave,
53
and when she was talking about how we need to innovate faster and disrupt our own industry before others disrupt us,
54
I thought to myself, this is a place I would be lucky to contribute too.
55
Hmm.
56
Yes!
57
There's a ton of good stuff in this response.
58
First, referring to your academics is a great thing to do
59
when you don't have professional experience in the area you're applying for.
60
I also love that this candidate referenced his value alignment with the company.
61
But what I really found impressive was how he read up on the CEO prior to the interview.
62
He did his homework.
63
It's a small detail that really goes the extra mile and differentiates you from other candidates.
64
What was your biggest obstacle in college and how did you overcome it?
65
I'm a computer science major and prior to college I had absolutely zero STEM experience.
66
So when I was first learning to code Java, let's just say it was bumpy.
67
Things just weren't clicking for me and I knew I needed to make a change.
68
So I started a support group with some other students.
69
I put in hours of extra work and practice time on my own.
70
And I'm proud to say, after a lot of hard work, not only did I become proficient in Java and Python,
71
but I also was able to tutor some first year students.
72
I know that my career will be full of learning opportunities like this
73
and I'm eager to face them head on and continue to improve.
74
Wow.
75
This answer checked so many boxes.
76
She was confident, concise, and kept the answer professional you definitely don't want to talk about personal challenges in school.
77
She showed that she has the skills to identify problems and create solutions, not to mention a willingness to pay it forward.
78
If she has time to tutor and continue to do well in her classes, she must have some strong time management skills too.
79
Well done.
80
And now here's a question that pretty much everyone is bound to hear at one point or another.
81
So that's all I have.
82
I'm asking you all the questions.
83
So I really want to thank you for taking out the time to come in and see us today.
84
You're very well versed.
85
And before we wrap, do you have any questions for me?
86
Um, yeah.
87
Uh, what made you decide to go into sales?
88
Hope the interview isn't over.
89
This is an essential moment.
90
The hiring manager wants to see if you're a critical thinker and if you're curious about the organization.
91
asking, what made you go into sales?
92
Helps build a relationship, but doesn't give you insight into the company.
93
Here are some good questions to ask.
94
What's your favorite thing about working here?
95
What are some of the qualities that would make an entry-level candidate most successful in this role?
96
What advice would you give your younger self starting out in this industry?
97
We've covered a lot here that will help you ace your first interview.
98
Everyone starts with an entry-level job.
99
We've all been there, including myself.
100
The fact of the matter is that you have more relevant experience than you think, and the tools to tell a story that proves it.

Career Talk: Internship Success feat. The Intern Queen
American AccentBusiness EnglishInterview EnglishUniversity Students
Contesto e sfondo
Il video affronta l'argomento delle interviste per lavori entry-level, una situazione cruciale per chi inizia la carriera. Attraverso esempi pratici, mostra come trasformare risposte generiche in comunicazioni efficaci, enfatizzando l'importanza di evidenziare competenze trasferibili e esperienze non professionali (come corsi online o progetti accademici). Questo contesto è ottimo per la pratica di conversazione in inglese, poiché le frasi usate sono realistiche e adatte a scenari del mondo del lavoro.
5 frasi chiave per la comunicazione quotidiana
- "I'm a self-starter" (Sono una persona proattiva): Utile per sottolineare l'autonomia, fondamentale in qualsiasi ruolo.
- "I'm eager to apply what I've learned" (Sono ansioso di applicare quanto ho imparato): Mostra motivazione a trasformare la teoria in pratica.
- "Your company values really resonate with me" (I valori della vostra azienda mi risuonano veramente): Collega la propria identità ai valori dell'azienda, creando connessione.
- "I've taken online courses to learn more" (Ho seguito corsi online per approfondire): Evidenzia l'impegno a formarsi autonomamente.
- "I'm not afraid to ask" (Non ho paura di chiedere): Mostra umiltà e disposizione a imparare, qualità apprezzate dagli recruiter.
Guida passo passo per lo shadowing
Lo shadowing è una tecnica efficace per migliorare la pronuncia e l'intonazione. Ecco come applicarla a questo video:
- Analizza il contesto: Ascolta il video una volta per capire la trama. Concentrati sulle risposte dei candidati e sui feedback del coach.
- Ripeti frasi brevi: Seleziona frasi come "I'm passionate about marketing" e ripetile immediatamente dopo l'audio, cercando di imitare il tono e la velocità. Usa un shadowing site per registrare te stesso e confrontarti.
- Approfondisci le competenze: Quando il coach suggerisce di essere più specifici, ripeti le risposte corrette (es. "My undergrad coursework focused on...") per internalizzare la struttura logica.
- Pratichi la fluency: Dopo aver memorizzato le frasi, prova a modificarle con esempi personali (es. "I've taken online courses in graphic design"). Questo rafforza la shadowspeaks e la capacità di adattare il linguaggio.
- Rivedi e correggi: Ascolta di nuovo le tue registrazioni e confrontale con l'audio originale. Nota le differenze e ripeti le parti più difficili.
Imparare l'inglese con YouTube, specialmente con video pratici come questo, permette di combinare la teoria con la pratica, preparando per scenari reali come le interviste. Con costanza, lo shadowing diventa un tool potente per migliorare la comunicazione.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | I've always wanted · I've taken · I've learned |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | was fascinated · is bound |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
