6
Now let's get started with this lesson.
7
Are you ready to add 50 plus advanced expressions to your vocabulary
8
that you can use when you're attending a job interview in English?
9
Let's get started with the first question that you're going to be asked.
10
Tell me about yourself.
11
When you're asked this question, you absolutely must use the expression,
12
I have more than over or almost 10 years of experience.
13
And then you can add as a and your job title as a project manager as an accountant.
14
Don't forget that article is very important that it's there before your job title.
15
Now you can also talk about your experience in a particular field,
16
I have almost 20 years of experience in the project management industry,
17
I have more than 15 years of experience in the IT sector.
18
So you can use field industry or sector.
19
Now notice you have more than or over.
20
That's when the number is greater than and then you have almost that's when the number is less than.
21
So if you actually have 13 or 14 years of experience,
22
well, it sounds better to use a round number like 15.
23
So you can say almost 15 years of experience if you have 13 or 14.
24
Now you can add to this and tell us more about your responsibilities in that role.
25
So you can say in this role, which is your role as a financial analyst in this role,
26
you can also say in that role, it doesn't matter in this that role,
27
I was responsible for, or you can say I am responsible for was if you're viewing the role as complete.
28
And I am responsible for if you're currently doing that role.
29
I was responsible for now after this, we need a gerund verb.
30
So you can use many, many different verbs to talk about your experience.
31
These are the most common verbs you can use.
32
In this role, I was responsible for managing,
33
overseeing, leading, coordinating, creating, developing,
34
reviewing, improving, streamlining, and analyzing.
35
Of course, you can use other verbs, but these are the most common.
36
Now streamlining, this means improving the efficiency or effectiveness.
37
So as a financial analyst,
38
you could say, I have over 20 years of experience as a financial analyst in the IT industry.
39
In this role, I'm responsible for overseeing a team of 15 people.
40
And I'm responsible for streamlining our operations.
41
Now in a job interview, you absolutely want to use more academic or formal adjectives.
42
You don't want to say I have a lot of experience that doesn't sound very strong or convincing.
43
It sounds a lot more impressive if you say I have extensive experience,
44
I have significant experience.
45
So those are two must know adjectives that you should use in job interviews,
46
extensive and significant, which simply is a more formal way of saying a lot of I have significant experience.
47
And again, after this, you need a gerund verb, you can use any of the verbs I've already shared.
48
And of course, you'll have specific verbs for your industry and your specific job title.
49
I have extensive experience creating international marketing campaigns for a variety of industries.
50
Now after this expression, I have significant extensive experience, you could also use a noun,
51
I have significant project management experience, I have significant financial analysis experience.
52
So you don't have to use a gerund verb, you could also use a noun.
53
If you're asked about your education or your credentials, you can simply say, I have a Bachelor of I have a Bachelor of Science,
54
a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Engineering, whatever that may be.
55
Now you can end it there.
56
But you may also choose to identify the school and the year you graduated.
57
Those aren't requirements.
58
But if you went to a prestigious or well known school, or you recently graduated, those might be useful details to include.
59
I have a Bachelor of Science from Cornell, I graduated in 2020.
60
You can also use the verbs received or obtained, which are more formal than have.
61
However, it's extremely common to use the verb have I have a bachelor,
62
I have a master, but you can absolutely use received or obtained to use the more formal version.
63
I received my Master of Education from Cornell in 2020.
64
I obtained my Master of Engineering from MIT in 2019.
65
If your credential is a certification, you can use the verbs I received, I completed or I obtained.
66
I completed my PMP in 2019.
67
Now notice here, I use an acronym PMP.
68
If I'm applying for a job in the project management industry, they know what a PMP is,
69
is the most prestigious certification in the industry, it stands for project management professional.
70
So there's no need to identify an acronym, if that acronym is well known in your specific industry.
71
Let's talk about your personal strengths.
72
The interviewer is likely going to ask you, what are your strengths?
73
What would you say are your three best qualities?
74
So here you can use a transition word.
75
As for my strengths, as for my strengths, that's just to introduce the point.
76
As for my strengths, I'm extremely and then you can list the quality.
77
Now notice here I use the adjective extremely.
78
This is a more convincing adjective than I'm really
79
or very you want to avoid those common adjectives because they don't stand out.
80
And it's way more convincing to use a stronger adjective in a job interview like extremely.
81
I'm extremely hard working, which sounds stronger than I'm really hard working.
82
Let's review some common adjectives that you're going to use.
83
And for all of these adjectives, you're going to use the verb to be and then list the adjective.
84
I'm extremely hardworking, committed, trustworthy,
85
honest, focused, methodical, proactive, a team player.
86
For a team player, you can't use an adjective, you're simply going to say,
87
I'm a team player, you're not going to say I'm extremely team player, that doesn't work.
88
I'm a team player.
89
Now let's talk about some specific skills you should highlight in your interview.
90
Now the following skills are rated as the top 10 skills that employers want.
91
Of course, the skills are specific to your industry.
92
But you can take this as a general list of skills that would be useful to highlight during the interview.
93
And to talk about these skills, you can say I have.
94
And for For an adjective, you can say I have advanced, I have superior, I have excellent,
95
and then you list the skill.
96
I have excellent time management skills.
97
I have superior communication skills.
98
I have advanced adaptability skills.
99
The other top 10 skills are problem solving, teamwork, creativity, leadership, interpersonal skills,
100
attention to detail and work ethic.
101
For work ethic, we have a very specific adjective, and that's strong.
102
I have a strong work ethic.
103
So this is the specific expression for work ethic.
104
I have a strong work ethic.
105
So let's say you want to show off your communication skills.
106
I have superior communication skills.
107
Now let's say the interviewer wants to know why you're interested in this specific position.
108
You could say, I'm looking for an opportunity to further or to develop my x skills.
109
So your project management skills, your teamwork skills, your financial analysis skills, whatever the specific skill is,

111
industry or sector in the IT industry in the project management field,

your team, your organization.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
