and welcome back to our English Learning Channel.
3
In this video, we'll explore the essential elements of acing an interview,
4
including how to answer common interview questions and common mistakes that you should know how to avoid during the process the process.
5
Let's get started.
6
It was one fine morning.
7
Tom was sitting outside of the interview room.
8
Tom was excitedly waiting for his turn to interview for the job he had long desired,
9
a software developer.
10
The company had an amazing reputation in the field.
11
Tom was so eager for the interview.
12
Until...
13
Well, well, well.
14
Look who's here.
15
Isn't this Tom the Airhead?
16
Hi, Derek.
17
Oh, Tom.
18
I can't believe they even considered you for this role.
19
Software development requires real skills, you know?
20
Are you sure that you're in the right place?
21
Don't get your hopes up.
22
This position is mine.
23
Remember who you are.
24
You are nobody.
25
You should stand up and go home now.
26
Tom didn't want to argue with Derek,
27
but deep down he felt uncomfortable.
28
The interviewer opened the door and called the next person.
29
Derek quickly stood up while Tom was sitting still,
30
as if in a trance.
31
Derek whispered in Tom's ear,
32
Just stay out of my way, loser.
33
Then Derek headed into the interview room,
34
leaving Tom behind with his thoughts.
35
In a fleeting moment, Tom found himself immersed in the memories of days gone by.
36
Tom endured Derek's teasing throughout high school.
37
He remembered every moment when Derek made him feel small and insignificant,
38
causing him to lose confidence.
39
Tom had an incredibly tough time during those years.
40
It took a long time for him to overcome the insecurities that Derek had caused.
41
Just when Tom started feeling more confident in himself, he encountered Derek again.
42
That same voice, that same attitude haunted Tom once more.
43
Just as Tom was immersed in these thoughts,
44
he was suddenly called for the interview.
45
Entering the room, he was so nervous and worried.
46
This made him stumble and feel empty-headed headed.
47
Good afternoon, Tom.
48
Thank you for coming in today.
49
I'm Cindy, and I'll be conducting your interview today.
50
Can you tell me a little about yourself?
51
Uh, sure.
52
Well, my name's Tom.
53
I've Worked in a few different places.
54
And, you know, learned some stuff along the way.
55
Okay, what do you know about our company?
56
I know this is a big company.
57
Could you give me some details about your previous work experience?
58
Yeah, I've done a bit of this and that.
59
tasks and stuff.
60
How do you handle working in a team and resolving conflict?
61
Teamwork is important and conflicts...
62
I guess I try to talk it out and stuff.
63
What is your greatest strength?
64
I'm a quick learner.
65
Why should we hire you for this job?
66
I know I can do a great job in this role.
67
Okay, where do you see yourself in five years?
68
Honestly, I'm not so sure.
69
I guess I'll figure it out as time goes on.
70
Do you have any questions for me?
71
Um, no. No. Thank you for sharing, Tom.
72
We will consider all candidates and get in touch later.
73
A few days later, Tom was informed that he had not met their expectations for the position.
74
Cindy expressed to Tom that he could try again in the future.
75
And what made Tom even sadder was when he found out that Derek got the position.
76
With a heavy heart, Tom went to his girlfriend to find some comfort.
77
Tom was sitting on his girlfriend's sofa.
78
All he needed right then was some comfort and a hug.
79
Linda, his girlfriend, came and sat next to him. Are you okay?
80
I didn't get the job.
81
Seriously?
82
Tom, what happened?
83
That guy who used to bully me in high school got it.
84
You mean Derek?
85
Yes.
86
You must have messed something up.
87
And Derek, he must have handled it better.
88
Linda, I thought you'd be here for me.
89
I'm just saying, you should be as strong and confident as Derek.
90
It hurts.
91
You're just criticizing and comparing me.
92
Whatever, Tom.
93
It's the truth.
94
I'm tired of disappointment.
95
I need time to think about us.
96
Don't contact me during this time.
97
Wait, Linda.
98
You can't do this to me.
99
I need to go now.
100
You should go home and have some sleep or whatever you want to do.
101
With a shattered heart, Tom walked into a bar.
102
He ordered a strong cocktail.
103
As Tom was enjoying his drink,
104
he noticed a girl approaching him.
105
It was Cindy, the person who had interviewed him.
106
Tom, isn't it?
107
Yeah, it's me.
108
Hi, Cindy.
109
Do you know why I remember you?
110
Because I was a loser?
111
No, you seem really capable.
112
Your experience and background were good.
113
But the way you answered the questions seemed so weird and amateur.
114
What's wrong?
115
Tom told Cindy what happened that day.
116
He confided in Cindy like two friends and told Cindy how much he loved the job as a software developer.
117
I wanted to be honest with you about your interview.
118
Your knowledge is solid, but your confidence seemed to waver.
119
You struggled with answering questions.
120
Yeah, I know.
121
I was really nervous.
122
I understand, but I believe in your potential.
123
Let me share something with you.
124
What is it?
125
I had really hoped that you would be the one who got the job that day.
126
Oh, really?
127
Why is that?
128
Well, when it comes to Derek, he's quite arrogant.
129
I mean, he does have some skills, but his attitude.
130
So I had some expectations for you that day.
131
I'm sorry.
132
I feel like I let you down.
133
Oh, no, that's not what I meant.
134
What I saw during the interview doesn't define you.
135
What should I do now?
136
You have to work on your confidence and communication.
137
Don't let external pressures determine your self-women.
138
It's just hard, you know.
139
I've always been a bit insecure.
140
I get it, but you can't live according to others' feelings.
141
You've been too easily influenced by others' opinions.
142
You need to take charge of your own life.
143
You're right.
144
I need to change that.
145
You absolutely can.
146
Start by believing in yourself.
147
Focus on personal growth.
148
Develop your skills, work on your communication,
149
and gradually the confidence will follow.
150
Thanks, Cindy.
151
Good things will come your way when you're invested in your own progress.
152
Your words mean a lot to me.
153
You've got this, Tom.
154
Remember, success comes from within.
155
Tom took a deep breath,
156
feeling a sense of connection with Cindy's words.
157
He found himself opening up further about his dreams and the lessons he had learned from this failure.
158
After Cindy's encouragement, Tong felt a strong urge to change.
159
He decided to begin trying harder and learning the skills required for a successful interview.
160
He practiced his answers, improved his communication, and boosted his self-confidence.
161
As he progressed, he felt more and more confident.
162
With determination, Tom applied for the same position at the company where he had faced disappointment.
163
On the way to the interview,
164
as Tom approached the company building,
165
he unexpectedly encountered Derek and Linda standing outside.
166
Look who decided to show up again.
167
It's our superstar.
168
Li...Linda?
169
What?
170
Surprised, huh?
171
I'm only going with who is truly deserving.
172
That's right.
173
This is how it should be.
174
You're trying again?
175
Good luck with that.
176
Hey, maybe they're hiring for a clown position.
177
He'd be perfect.
178
Derek and Linda walked away,
179
leaving behind a mocking laughter
180
Tom had mentally prepared to meet Derek But he never expected to see Linda with him like that
181
She left Tom to go with Derek Tom stood there frozen for a moment But then he remembered what Cindy said
182
He took a deep breath and put everything aside He headed straight into the company building.
183
He only had one thought on his mind now.
184
He must get the job.
185
Good morning, Tom.
186
Good to see you again.
187
Hi, Cindy.
188
Nice to see you. Are you ready?
189
Yes, I'm ready.
190
Okay, can you tell me a bit about your background?
191
I've been working as a software developer for the past five years.
192
I have experience with various programming languages like Python, Java, and JavaScript.
193
I've also worked on both front-end and back-end development projects.
194
Great!
195
It sounds like you have a good range of skills.
196
How did you hear about this position?
197
I actually came across the job posting on your company's website while I was searching for software developer positions.
198
What do you consider to be your greatest strength?
199
I believe my attention to detail is one of my greatest strengths.
200
I'm thorough in my work.
201
And I make sure to catch even the smallest errors in my code,
202
which helps in creating high-quality software.
203
Great, Tom.
204
How about handling pressure or stressful situations?
205
When things get stressful, I tend to stay calm.
206
I break down the problem into smaller steps.
207
I also share concerns and collaborate on solutions with my team.
208
Good approach, Tom.
209
What did you do in the last year to improve your knowledge?
210
Over the past year, I've been taking some online courses to improve my skills.
211
I also took part in coding challenges to challenge myself and learn from others in the coding community.
212
Continuous learning is important.
213
Moving on, what are your salary expectations for this position?
214
Based on my skills and experience and on the current industry rates,
215
I'm looking at a salary of around $8,800 per month. That sounds reasonable, Tom.
216
Now, I want to know more about your expertise.
217
Sure.
218
Cheers!
219
Thank you so much, Cindy.
220
I wouldn't have gotten the job without your help.
221
Not a problem at all.
222
I have complete confidence in your abilities.
223
I'm very excited to join the team and make a positive impact on the company.
224
The company operates in a competitive environment,
225
so give it your all.
226
I certainly will.
227
Thanks once again.
228
After Tom successfully joined the company,
229
Derek didn't like this fact.
230
He was determined to make things difficult for Tom.
231
Derek attempted various tricks to trip Tom up and create trouble.
232
However, Tom has great working skills and he approached his work with a serious and fair attitude.
233
Tom had clear goals for his tasks.
234
Because of this, Tom progressed rapidly.
235
And none of Derek's tricks could hinder his progress.
236
As time went on, Tom's hard work paid off.
237
He was recognized for his dedication and skill.
238
he earned a promotion.
239
On the other hand, Derek started falling behind in his work because he was too focused on harming Tom.
240
Before long, Derek faced the consequences of his actions and got sacked.
241
So, Tom's determination and focus on personal growth not only led to his success,
242
but also showed how kindness and hard work win over negative intention. And that's today's lesson!

このビデオで話す練習をする理由
このビデオでは、自己紹介をする方法や面接での重要なポイントを学ぶことができます。特に、英語を学びたい人々にとって、自己紹介のスキルは非常に重要です。自分自身を正確に表現する能力は、職場でのコミュニケーションや社会生活においても役立ちます。このビデオを利用して、shadowspeak技術を用いて自信を持って話すことができるようになりましょう。また、面接のシチュエーションを通して、英語の実践的な使い方を理解し、IELTS スピーキング対策にも助けになるはずです。
文法と文脈での表現
このビデオでは、以下のいくつかの重要な文法構造や表現が使用されています：
- Can you tell me a little about yourself? - 自己紹介を促すフレーズです。相手に自分のことを話してもらう時に便利です。
- Thank you for coming in today - ビジネスシーンで使われる丁寧な表現で、相手への感謝の気持ちを示します。
- I was excitedly waiting for my turn - 過去形を使って感情を表す構造。自己表現において感情が伝わりやすくなります。
一般的な発音の罠
このビデオでは、特定の単語や表現で誤った発音が一般的に見られます。例えば、「interview（インタビュー）」という単語は、しっかりとしたアクセントを持つことが求められます。また、「software（ソフトウェア）」の発音も多くの人が苦手とする単語の一つです。発音の練習をする際には、shadow speechテクニックを使って、これらの単語を繰り返し練習し、自分の発音を改善しましょう。正しい発音を身につけることで、面接でも自分の考えを明確に伝えることができ、信頼を得ることができます。
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。
