Actually, practicing is imperative.

You will do better when you practice.

It will change the way you think about speaking American English.
12
Today I'll ask you 7 questions,
13
and I'll give you some hints on how to answer them.
14
A great way to win the interview and land the job you want is to practice ahead of time and record yourself.
15
Review your video.
16
See what can be better, practice and record again.
17
To incentivize your practice, you can even send your video answers to me.
18
I may put them in a future video to further teach interviewing for a job in American English.
19
Send me your job interview answers in a video to help at rachelsenglish.com.
20
Let me know your native language and your general field of work.
21
This is going to be fun.
22
I cannot wait to see your videos.
23
I love this idea.
24
Let's talk about the job you're interviewing for today.
25
The pretend job.
26
I'm going to give you three different positions.
27
Choose one and form your answers around the job that you're interviewing for.
28
Here are the jobs.
29
First, admin assistant.
30
This would be someone who handles my emails,
31
customer support, also does some administrative tasks like creating video transcripts,
32
maybe a little bit of project management to get my new videos and lessons published.
33
Teacher, you are an accent specialist who loves helping non-native speakers of English speak with more confidence.
34
And the third position, video editor.
35
I use a lot of video editors in my work and I could use some more help.
36
Okay, here's your first question.
37
What makes you interested in working for Rachel's English?
38
You absolutely want to make sure you're saying something specific here.
39
Something that wouldn't apply to any other job.
40
For example, let's say you're applying for a job at McDonald's.
41
There are so many fast food restaurants just like McDonald's.
42
Don't say you're applying because you love fast food.
43
That's way too general.
44
You want to say something like,
45
I'm applying for this job because I've always thought McDonald's has the best hamburgers.
46
Or, when I was little,
47
my aunt took me to McDonald's every week for a Happy Meal
48
and I still have some of the best toys that I got in those Happy Meals.
49
In other words, be specific to be memorable and make sure your answer reflects that you know something about the company.
50
So I'm gonna ask you again,
51
pause this video, open up your camera app,
52
and answer this interview question.
53
What makes you interested in working for Rachel's English?
54
Can you talk about a job you've had in the past where your responsibilities were similar?
55
The same advice applies to this question as it will to every single question you answer.
56
Be as specific as you can.
57
This is why it's a great idea to record your answers and send them to me.
58
I won't be giving you personalized feedback,
59
but I may use it as an example in a video
60
if I think there's a great amount of detail or not enough detail.
61
I've done a lot of job interviews.
62
I know how a strong candidate answers this and a weaker one.
63
Let's make sure that you are the strongest candidate at your next job interview.
64
So I'm going to ask again,
65
be specific about your responsibilities and give examples.
66
Can you talk about a job you've had in the past where your responsibilities were similar?
67
In this position, you'll be working with a team.
68
Can you talk to me about how you work with the team and how you handle deadlines? deadlines?
69
This one is kind of tricky because I'm asking two questions at once.
70
How you work with a team and how you handle deadlines.
71
Make sure you always answer the complete question an employer isn't going to want to have to ask you again
72
if there's a part that you forgot to answer.
73
You could even shape your answer in a way to remind yourself to answer all parts.
74
You could say, to answer the first part of your question,
75
and then put in your answer.
76
And then you could say,
77
and regarding deadlines, or as far as deadlines are concerned,
78
remember always to be specific and give examples.
79
Here's the question again.
80
In this position, you'll be working with a team.
81
Can you talk to me about how you work with a team and how you handle deadlines.
82
Whoa, I forgot one thing.
83
I was working with a doctor once who was going to have a remote job interview.
84
He'd never had a remote interview before.
85
And part of what he needed to do was to send ahead a small video presentation as part of his application.
86
Seeing as making videos is a huge part of my work,
87
he asked me to review his application,
88
and there was one major problem with it.
89
Because he was looking at a camera,
90
he forgot that he needed to make a connection with the person who would be watching the video.
91
How do you do that?
92
Remember to smile.
93
Your body language in a job interview,
94
whether it's remote or not,
95
is going to be important.
96
So sit up straight, have relaxed shoulders, and smile.
97
Okay, next question.
98
How do you think your boss or co-workers would describe you?
99
Now if this is your very first job ever,
100
then you have no co-workers.
101
You have no boss.
102
So you can describe how teachers,
103
friends, and family may describe you.
104
With this question, I'm trying to get a sense of your personality and how people relate to you.
105
Don't just list adjectives.
106
Give a specific reason why, a specific story.
107
For example, if your boss would describe you as highly dedicated and a team player,
108
then say this.
109
My boss would describe me as highly dedicated and a team player
110
because one time I worked all night to correct someone else's mistake on an important presentation.
111
Say that, not just dedicated or team player be ready to explain at least three adjectives about yourself.
112
Okay, here's the question again.
113
How do you think your boss or coworkers would describe you?
114
What's your least favorite thing about your job right now?
115
An important tip for this question is, don't complain.
116
Whether it's a lazy coworker or a crappy boss,
117
I wouldn't focus on individuals,
118
but more on work tasks and the work environment.
119
For example, if you can't stand your boss and you don't think she takes you seriously,
120
instead, talk about how you don't see room for growth in your current position,
121
and that you're really motivated to keep growing and keep learning new skills.
122
So here's the question again, you answer it.
123
What's your least favorite thing about your job right now?
124
What are you passionate about?
125
Again, this is the interviewer wanting to know more about you as a person.
126
Your answer doesn't have to be about work.
127
And it's probably better if it's not about work.
128
If it does relate to your work,
129
give an example that isn't directly about work.
130
For example, I'm very passionate about the voice and how we use it,
131
which relates to accent reduction and teaching English, my job.
132
But the root of it is when I first started taking voice lessons in high school,
133
and I actually ended up studying that all the way through graduate school,
134
earning a Master of Music in Opera Performance.
135
So I would lean into that part of the passion.
136
That's not directly about work.
137
But you can also talk about something completely different,
138
a hobby that has nothing to do with work.
139
But make sure you do say something.
140
People who can't come up with something they're passionate about in a job interview seem kind of boring
141
and disconnected from the conversation.
142
Okay, here's the question again.
143
Give me your best answer.
144
What are you passionate about?
145
This position is work from home.
146
Can you tell me about your setup,
147
equipment, internet reliability, and your availability?
148
This won't apply to every position,
149
but all of my hiring is for remote workers.
150
When I hire a teacher,
151
I want to know that the videos that they make for our students are going to be of an acceptable quality.
152
When I'm hiring an admin assistant,
153
I need to know that their internet
154
and equipment is reliable enough for me to get in touch with them when I need to.
155
So since you're applying for a pretend job at Rachel's English,
156
give me the rundown of your situation.
157
This position is work from home.
158
Can you tell me about your setup,
159
equipment, internet reliability, and your availability?
160
I can't stress enough how important it is to prepare for a job interview by going over potential questions.
161
And it's even more important if English isn't your native language and the interview is going to be in English.
162
I have several different video series on applying for a job and interviewing for a job in American English,
163
be sure to check them out if you're in the market for a new job.
164
And don't forget, practice and record your answers to these interview questions,
165
even just one or two.
166
It doesn't have to be all seven.
167
Send them to me at help at rachelsenglish.com.
168
I won't be giving personal feedback to each individual on your job interview question answers,
169
but I am interested in pulling them together into a video to teach interview techniques.
170
I may use your answer as an example of a standout perfect answer,
171
or I may use your example as an answer that needs a little bit of work.
172
And I'll tell you exactly what to do to improve your answer to make the best impact in your job interview.
173
So make sure you only send in a video if you're okay with it showing up on the internet.
174

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.
