You're hired!
2
Two words everybody loves to hear.
3
But before we hear these words comes The interview.
4
Today's video is part one in a series that's all about preparing for a job interview.
5
This is part one of a five-part series on preparing for an interview.
6
Interviewing for a new job can be a huge source of stress and anxiety.
7
And if you're interviewing for a job in a non-native language, the stress can be even higher.
8
In this video, you'll see me interview for a job.
9
Throughout the interview, we'll discuss some of the most common interview questions and how to answer them.
10
You'll also learn some basic information to get you started on creating your own answers to these questions.
11
Let's begin.
12
Hello, Ms.
13
Smith.
14
I'm Tom Kelly.
15
Thanks so much for coming in.
16
It's my pleasure.
17
Thanks so much for meeting with me.
18
Of course.
19
Did you have any trouble finding the office?
20
Small talk.
21
Most interviews will start out with a handshake and some small talk.
22
This may include questions about how you're doing, your travel to the interview, the weather, how your weekend went, and more.
23
All you need to do is be polite and friendly.
24
Keep your answers short.
25
You can also feel free to turn the question back to the interviewer.
26
For instance, if the interviewer asks you how your weekend was, you might respond, It was great!
27
We celebrated my mom's birthday.
28
How was your weekend?
29
Small talk is used to build a more comfortable environment before the interview begins.
30
It may seem silly, but you can practice small talk on your own by asking yourself simple, easy to answer, non-personal questions.
31
You could also practice with a friend.
32
Here's an example of small talk.
33
How are you doing?
34
I'm great, thank Thank you.
35
And you?
36
How are you doing?
37
I'm doing really well.
38
It's such a nice day out there.
39
It is.
40
It was perfect weather all weekend.
41
It was.
42
Did you do anything interesting over the weekend?
43
Yes, I went to the park with my family for a picnic.
44
That sounds nice.
45
It was.
46
And you?
47
I worked this weekend, but I got a lot done, so that was good.
48
It does feel good to get work done.
49
You can see we haven't said much of importance, but the conversation is friendly and open, and can make two people feel more comfortable in each other's presence.
50
Hello, Ms.
51
Smith.
52
I'm Tom Kelly.
53
Thanks so much for coming in.
54
It's my pleasure.
55
Thanks so much for meeting with me.
56
Of course.
57
Did you have any trouble finding the office?
58
Nope, the directions on the website were great.
59
Good.
60
Would you like some water or coffee before we begin?
61
I'm okay, thank you.
62
Alright.
63
So, to get started, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
64
Sure.
65
Common question.
66
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
67
It's very common for interviewers to simply ask you to tell them about yourself.
68
That can feel overwhelming.
69
But don't worry.
70
What they really want you to focus on is your education and work history.
71
You can also let them know what areas you have a lot of experience in, or what your interests are, when answering this question.
72
Here are a few different ways to begin your answer.
73
I studied at Harvard University and graduated in 2012 with a degree in business.
74
I've been working at Smith Incorporated for 10 years as a manager.
75
I have 12 years of experience in graphic design.
76
Because of my time at Verizon, I have a lot of experience in providing customer service.
77
If you're preparing for an interview, practice talking about yourself and your work history.
78
Record yourself with a video camera if possible.
79
Make sure it's not too long, maybe around a minute.
80
Go back and listen or watch, and write down phrases that worked well to use again.
81
If there was anything you stumbled over or left out, write down some possible phrases you could have used.
82
The next day, do the same exercise.
83
It's important that you don't just write a paragraph and memorize it, but simply practice free talking with some key phrases.
84
The more you practice before the interview, the more comfortable you'll feel answering the questions during the interview.
85
So, to get started, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
86
Sure!
87
I studied at the University of Florida and graduated in 2010 with a master's degree in toy design.
88
After graduation, I was hired at Happy Kids Creative.
89
I've been there for the past five years and am currently the director of toy production.
90
During that time, sales have grown steadily.
91
It's been a great experience, but I've run out of room to grow with HKC, and I'm looking for new opportunities.
92
I have a lot of experience leading teams in the creative process and finding new markets for the products that we create.
93
That's great.
94
To be continued.
95
We'll pick it up from here in the next video in this series.
96
In the next video, we'll go over three more common interview questions.
97
How did you hear about this position?
98
What attracted you to our company?
99
And, what's your greatest strength?
100
I hope this video on job interviews has been helpful.
101
There's nothing better than walking out of an interview feeling that you were fully prepared.

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由
就職面接は、大きなストレスや不安の源になり得ます。特に非母国語での面接は、さらにプレッシャーがかかります。このビデオを使って練習することで、アメリカ英語の面接のスタイルを理解し、実際の会話に慣れることができます。英語の発音を良くするためには、英語シャドーイングが非常に効果的です。ビデオの中では、小さな会話の技術や一般的な面接質問への回答方法が紹介されており、これを通じて自然な英語表現を身につけることができます。
文法と文脈における表現
- 挨拶と小話: 例えば、「お元気ですか？」という表現は、面接の冒頭でのスムーズな会話のきっかけとなります。自分の状況を簡潔に述べ、相手にも質問を返すことで、フレンドリーな雰囲気を作ることができます。
- 短い回答: 質問に対して短く返答することが求められます。「週末はどうだった？」と尋ねられた際に、具体的な出来事を簡潔に述べることで、会話を円滑に進めることができます。
- 相手を気遣う表現: ビデオでは「あなたはどうでしたか？」と、質問を相手に返すことで、会話を双方向に進める技術が示されています。これにより、よりリラックスした雰囲気を得ることが可能です。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
面接中の会話では、発音やアクセントが重要です。特に注意したい言葉は「interview」や「comfortable」です。これらの単語は、特に流暢さが求められる場面で、正確に発音できないと相手に伝わりづらくなります。また、アメリカ英語のアクセントにも気を付ける必要があります。英語シャドーイングを取り入れることで、リスニングと発音の練習ができ、より自信を持って発言することができるようになります。
実際にビデオを見ながら、shadow speakを行い、発音を改善することをお勧めします。少しずつ練習を重ねることで、あなたの英語スピーキング能力は確実に向上するでしょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
