7
What are you doing?
8
Just reading a book.
9
You seem so happy today.
10
What happened?
11
I just received an interview email for the marketing intern position.
12
Congratulations!
13
What company is that?
14
Icy Media Company.
15
Is it a top media company?
16
Yes, it is my dream company.
17
I'm a bit worried.
18
This is the first time I have an interview.
19
I don't know what I need to prepare.
20
Don't worry.
21
I will give you some advice about the interview.
22
Oh, I forgot.
23
You've been in HR for four years, right?
24
That's correct.
25
Let's go to your room and turn on the computer.
26
I will tell you what you need to do to prepare and pay attention to for the interview.
27
Okay.
28
The first step is to introduce yourself.
29
It is the most important step to impress the employer.
30
Now imagine I am an interviewer and you will answer my questions.
31
Tell me about yourself.
32
My name is John Anderson, I'm 22 years old.
33
Um, sorry, I don't know what to say.
34
That's okay.
35
Right now is just practice, but when you interview, you can't answer uncertainly like this.
36
When you introduce yourself, you need to introduce your name, age, the university you have attended, the orientation of yourself.
37
What do you mean when you say the orientation of myself?
38
Orientation of yourself means what your career goals are in the future.
39
You can tell employers what you're passionate about and why.
40
Oh, I see.
41
What they want to know about is my orientation at work.
42
Can you wait a moment for me to take notes?
43
Sure.
44
Take your time.
45
Okay, what's next?
46
The next question they may ask is, why are you applying for this position?
47
How would you answer this question?
48
Because I really like this job.
49
This is my dream job and the salary is pretty high.
50
No, you shouldn't answer like that.
51
You should avoid the answer like, I just really need a job or I need money.
52
Why is that so?
53
Because when the employer asks this question, what they really want to know is how much you know about their company, how this role fits into your career plan.
54
So how should I answer?
55
You need to spend time researching the company
56
and select a few key factors to incorporate into your answer to demonstrate that you are a good fit.
57
Let them know that their values are aligned with your values.
58
Extremely useful.
59
Thank you for letting me know.
60
You're welcome.
61
And the other most common question the employer will ask you in a job interview is, why are you a good fit for this position?
62
I think because my major was marketing.
63
Quite suitable for this position.
64
To answer this question, you should talk about your work experience.
65
But I haven't worked anywhere.
66
What can I put on experience?
67
You can talk about the experiences and activities you've had at university related to this job.
68
Is it okay to say that?
69
The employer asks this question because they want to make sure that you can do the job.
70
As long as you show that you have skills qualified for the job, that would be fine.
71
Okay.
72
I'll keep this in mind.
73
What else?
74
In most job interviews, candidates will be asked to describe their strengths and weaknesses.
75
Let's think about that.
76
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
77
How should I answer the question?
78
Your strengths and weaknesses should reflect the requirements of the job.
79
The strengths are the opportunity for you to express more about yourself.
80
And weaknesses are areas you need to improve on.
81
But don't let your weaknesses sound like they will impede your performance.
82
So that's how it is.
83
Now I know how to answer those questions.
84
Thanks for your advice.
85
You have saved my life.
86
You're welcome.
87
These are some common questions you often answer when interviewing.
88
To have a better answer, you should carefully research the company and the job position you apply for.
89
The most important thing is to show the employer your good attitude and confidence when interviewing.
90
I have known it carefully and feel more confident now.
91
Thank you so much.
92
Good luck with the interview.
93
Just do your best.
94
Please come in.
95
You've come so early.
96
Yes, I didn't want to be late.
97
Take a seat, please.
98
Thanks.
99
Here's my resume.
100
Let me introduce myself.
101
My name is Simon Evans.
102
I am the recruiting team leader of ICY Media Company.
103
I will be your interviewer today.
104
Tell me about yourself.
105
My name is John Anderson.
106
I'm 22 years old.
107
I just graduated from the University of Georgia.
108
My major was marketing.
109
My goal is to grow as a marketing analyst.
110
How did you hear about this job?
111
I have known the company for a long time and always follow events on the company's website.
112
Incidentally, I saw the recruitment information for the internship position.
113
This position doesn't require too much professional experience.
114
In addition, this is also my field, so I decided to apply for this position.
115
What do you think are your strengths and weaknesses?
116
I consider my time management to be one of my greatest strengths by far.
117
During my senior year, I managed to maintain a 3.7 GPA,
118
while at the same time doing a lot of different activities at university.
119
Specifically, I volunteered, was part of the student council, and part of the managing team of the design marketing club.
120
What are your weaknesses?
121
I think my weakness is that I tend to be overly critical of myself.
122
When I complete a project, I always feel that I could have done better, even though the response I receive is positive.
123
This often leads me to overwork myself and leaves me feeling burned out.
124
I recognize this weakness and over the past few years, I have been actively working to approve that.
125
Why do you think you are suitable for this job?
126
I am confident that I am a good fit for this position for several reasons.
127
But most specifically, because of my dedication to going above and beyond in a job.
128
I am committed to learning any new skills on my own to succeed in this role.
129
I know that you are seeking a self-motivated individual for this job, and I am that candidate.
130
After hearing your presentation and reviewing your resume, we think that your answers are pretty good.

You’ll practice introducing yourself, answering tricky questions, and sounding confident—skills that work for IELTS speaking practice and real-world interviews alike. Learn English with videos that mirror actual interactions, so you’re ready to impress employers.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases for Job Interviews

- Land the job (get hired): "These tips will help you land the job."
- Intern position (entry-level role): "I applied for the marketing intern position."

Practice Tips: Use the Shadowing Technique to Sound Natural
The video’s dialogue is spoken at a conversational speed, perfect for shadow speak practice. Here’s how: Play a short clip (5-10 seconds), pause, and repeat it aloud, mimicking the tone, pace, and intonation. Focus on phrases like "Tell me about yourself" and "Why are you applying for this position?"—these are common in interviews and shadowspeaks exercises. Repeat until you sound confident, not just fluent. This technique trains your brain to think and speak in English, making real interviews feel like practice. For best results, practice daily with the video—you’ll notice a difference in your clarity and confidence quickly.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result | If I pass, when will I · If you pass, you will start |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | You've been · have attended · haven't worked |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | are aligned · will be asked · will be notified |
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.
