Please come in.
4
Hi, I am Sarah.
5
Nice to meet you.
6
Hello Sarah.
7
Nice to meet you too.
8
I am Lucy, the Human Resources Executive.
9
This is Mr. Parker, Manager of the Marketing Department.
10
We will have an interview with you today for your internship position.
11
Hi, nice to meet you.
12
I am Mr. Park, Manager of the Marketing Department.
13
Thank you for having me today.
14
It's a pleasure for us to meet you too.
15
Did you have any trouble finding the way to our company?
16
No, not at all.
17
The company is a lot closer to where I live than I expected.
18
It's right next to the coffee shop I often visit.
19
Great to hear that.
20
Okay, so Sarah, why don't you tell us a bit about yourself first?
21
My name is Sarah Kim.
22
I am a third year student at the new university.
23
My major is marketing and communications.
24
In addition to that, I am also a member of the debate club at my university.
25
Lovely!
26
Thank you so much.
27
So can you tell me, how did you know about this job?
28
Because the summer break is coming, I want to find myself a summer internship that relates to my major.
29
I looked upon the internet and suddenly stumbled upon your company's recruitment information on LinkedIn.
30
On LinkedIn, right?
31
There are many other companies posting on that site as well.
32
So why did you choose us?
33
To be honest, the first thing that got my attention was the design of your LinkedIn post.
34
It was really vibrant and unique, which made me think that this is a creative company.
35
That excited me a lot because I've always wanted to work in a young and creative environment.
36
After that first impression, I dug deeper into your website
37
and found out that your company works in a field that relates to artificial intelligence.
38
This is a topic that I am quite passionate about after getting into university.
39
With a suitable environment and a field of work that I am interested in, Star Corporation has become my top choice.
40
Great!
41
Yes, as you can see, our company does have a lot of young staff, and we always aim for the best technology solutions for our future.
42
I'm glad that it suits your interest as well.
43
Okay, so Mr. Park, do you have any questions for Sarah?
44
Yes.
45
So Sarah, what would you say is your biggest strength?
46
My greatest strength is my teamwork ability.
47
I can work well in a team regardless of the number of team members.
48
I am also very flexible when it comes to my role in a team.
49
When most of the time I am the leader, I can also contribute well as a follower too.
50
For example, I have done a class presentation in a group of five as a leader.
51
In my club, I am a member of the public relations team of 10 people.
52
In a team, I tend to be a person
53
that pushes everyone to do the work and helps everyone engage equally by reminding and dividing tasks for people every day.
54
I see.
55
What about weakness?
56
Do you have any weaknesses and how do you deal with it?
57
I would say that I have trouble saying no. When other people ask me for help, even though that job bothers me, if it's not too extreme,
58
I would still agree to help.
59
One time when I was preparing for my test the next day, my friend asked me to help her practice English conversations for her speaking test,
60
and I agreed without giving much thought.
61
Sometimes, it is a bit troublesome for me, because when I agree to help many people at the same time,
62
I have lots of things to do and then I become stressed.
63
Currently, I am trying to learn to say no,
64
starting from the smallest things.
65
For example, when people give out free samples and I don't need them, I would just say thank you and no. Even though it is a small step,
66
it has helped me build a lot of confidence in rejecting other people when necessary.
67
I completely understand that.
68
Sometimes saying no is hard for me too, especially to my daughter.
69
I was just joking.
70
Anyways, this is my final question for you.
71
What is a dream job like to you?
72
My dream job would be a job where I am allowed to be who I am
73
and be creative as much as possible.
74
Of course, it would be best if the company I work for be in a field that is my interest.
75
It does not need to be so as long as I can have a certain freedom and creativity.
76
Moreover, I am a person who is always eager to learn, so a position where I can learn a lot of new things would be nice.
77
Lastly, my dream workplace must have dream colleagues as well.
78
This means that I want to work in a company that has nice and passionate employees, who can help and inspire me to work.
79
Okay, I see.
80
Thank you very much for your answer.
81
That's the end of our interview.
82
Do you have any questions for us?
83
Oh yes, so from your company's website, I understand that your company is pretty youthful with many young employees.
84
Can you share a bit more about the work culture?
85
Do you guys have any special events for your employees?
86
That's a good question.
87
So because we have many young employees, our company is quite playful and energetic as well.
88
We actually have hobby clubs such as chess club for our employees.
89
Sometimes we have sports competitions like running contests between departments so
90
that we can encourage people from different departments to interact and have fun.
91
From our marketing department we have a special Friday karaoke night.
92
Our department always hangs out on Friday night after work for karaoke.
93
I'm I'm sure that if you get in, you will have a lot of fun here at Star Corporation.
94
Does that answer your question?
95
Yes, it is really helpful.
96
Thank you so much.
97
Do you have any other questions?
98
I don't think so.
99
Great!
100
Then that's a wrap for this interview.
101
Once again, thank you so much for being here with us today.
102
The result will get to you after three working days through email, so please check it carefully.
103
We hope that we can see you again.
104
Thank you so much for today.

401
I wanted to work full-time, but they only wanted part-time workers.

Why did you resign from your previous position?

423
How do you handle all stressful situations?
424
I try to stay as calm as possible, learning with the customer I like to be respectful and responsible.
425
Can you give me an example from your personal experience?
426
Yes.
427
When I was working with Universal Systems as a secretary, a customer came in and he was very angry about his bill.

So he spoke calmly and told him to relax.
429
Once he calmed down, we talked about the problem and solved it.
430
He walked away happy and so was I.
431
How do you deal with stressful situations at work?
432
I've had many stressful situations at work.
433
I always try to stay patient whenever I'm feeling stressed.
434
I breathe deeply to calm down.
435
Is there anything else that you do?
436
I try to talk to people to tell them how I feel if I'm having a customer problem.
437
I try to talk politely if I have some other kind of stress at work.
438
I talk to my co-workers or my boss to tell them how I feel.
439
That usually helps.

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.
