I'm sure you're aware of that.
13
How'd you hear about us?
14
I saw your ad in the newspapers.
15
A friend of mine told me that you had an opening and he actually works here.
16
Where are you from?
17
I was born in Mexico but I lived in the US for about 27 years.
18
You're from Mexico.
19
So you speak English and Spanish.

We could really use that.

Well, I'm going to be honest with you.

33
I pick up pretty fast.
34

35
Well, I've gone over your resume a couple times.
36
Everything looks great.
37
But Daniel, tell me a little bit about yourself.
38
Muchas personas, cuando van a buscar trabajo,
39
en inglés van a decir,
40
I will do a good job.
41
O van a decir, I'm a hard worker.
42
Eso está muy bien.
43
The only problem is that many people are saying this.
44
You have to say something that separates you from the others.
45
When you go to search this job,
46
the person who will interview you,
47
is thinking, why do I interview you?
48
I interview you 20 people,
49
or I interview you 20 people.
50
What is it that you have different?
51
Why?
52
You have to convince him that he is the person for the job.
53
Because there is a lot of competition.
54
So it's very important that you can say different things.
55
When you come to that interview and you have to interview 10 people,
56
you have to go over with other people.
57
And that's why it's very important that if you say the same thing that all the people are saying,
58
you will be like the rest of the abejas.
59
Well, I'm a good team player.
60
Freeze!

For you to say when you're in an interview.

Aurel I'm going to say how I'm going to say.
68
But first I'm going to read.

And this is because I trained to do it.
70
When I was a manager.
71
The first is.
72
I am a good team player.
73
Como si se tratara de un equipo de fútbol.
74
Eso quiere decir que usted es un buen jugador en un equipo.
75
Porque seguramente en el trabajo van a ver,
76
es como un equipo, de eso se trata.
77
Y es lo que ellos quieren escuchar.
78
El que sigue es, I love people.
79
Y quiere decir que usted ama a la gente.
80
Aunque usted no lo crea,
81
esto tiene mucho sentido para ellos.
82

84
eso es algo que a ellos les gustaría escuchar.

No es absolutamente necesario que lo diga,
105
pero ahí la puse ahí para que en caso que la interese.
106
Pero las demás están mejor.
107
The last one, this is the most powerful.
108
This is going to be his silver bullet.
109
With this one, he ends.
110
With this one, he throws.
111
At the last one of his interview, he says this.
112
In my experience, this is the most powerful phrase.
113

Why practice speaking with this video?

This video provides an excellent opportunity for English speaking practice in a real-world context: a job interview. Engaging with this type of material allows learners to immerse themselves in the nuances of professional communication. By practicing with the transcript, you can not only enhance your vocabulary but also gain insights into how to present yourself effectively in an interview setting.

Additionally, trying out the shadowing technique while watching this video enables you to mimic intonation and pronunciation, making it easier for you to retain these speaking patterns. This method helps learners to confidently navigate similar situations in English, setting you apart from other candidates by allowing you to articulate your unique strengths compellingly.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

During the interview, several key phrases are used that can be beneficial for your own English speaking practice.

  • "How'd you hear about us?" – This casual expression encourages a conversational flow and shows interest in the candidate's background.
  • "I do have experience..." – Using "do" for emphasis strengthens your response, a technique that adds weight to what you are sharing.
  • "I pick up pretty fast." – This idiomatic expression effectively communicates your ability to learn quickly, which can be appealing to future employers.

Incorporating these structures into your conversations can help you convey your messages more clearly and confidently.

Common Pronunciation Traps

When practicing with this video, there are specific words and phrases that may pose pronunciation challenges:

  • "Experience" – This word often gets pronounced incorrectly due to its length and syllable stress. Make sure to emphasize the second and fourth syllables: ex-PER-ience.
  • "Actually" – This can be mispronounced, especially when spoken quickly. Focus on the syllables: AC-tual-ly.
  • "Opportunity" – Breaking it down into smaller parts can aid pronunciation: op-POR-tu-ni-ty.

To improve, consider using a shadowing app to practice these words repeatedly until they feel comfortable.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
