5
This is part one of a five-part series on preparing for an interview.
6
Interviewing for a new job can be a huge source of stress and anxiety.
7
And if you're interviewing for a job in a non-native language, the stress can be even higher.
8
In this video, you'll see me interview for a job.
9
Throughout the interview, we'll discuss some of the most common interview questions and how to answer them.
10
You'll also learn some basic information to get you started on creating your own answers to these questions.
11
Let's begin.
12
Hello, Ms.
13
Smith.
14
I'm Tom Kelly.
15
Thanks so much for coming in.
16
It's my pleasure.
17
Thanks so much for meeting with me.
18
Of course.
19
Did you have any trouble finding the office?
20
Small talk.
21
Most interviews will start out with a handshake and some small talk.
22
This may include questions about how you're doing, your travel to the interview, the weather, how your weekend went, and more.
23
All you need to do is be polite and friendly.
24
Keep your answers short.
25
You can also feel free to turn the question back to the interviewer.
26
For instance, if the interviewer asks you how your weekend was, you might respond, It was great!
27
We celebrated my mom's birthday.
28
How was your weekend?
29
Small talk is used to build a more comfortable environment before the interview begins.
30
It may seem silly, but you can practice small talk on your own by asking yourself simple, easy to answer, non-personal questions.
31
You could also practice with a friend.
32
Here's an example of small talk.
33
How are you doing?

45
It was.
46
And you?
47
I worked this weekend, but I got a lot done, so that was good.
48
It does feel good to get work done.
49
You can see we haven't said much of importance, but the conversation is friendly and open, and can make two people feel more comfortable in each other's presence.

Good.
60
Would you like some water or coffee before we begin?

I'm okay, thank you.
62
Alright.
63
So, to get started, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
64
Sure.
65
Common question.
66
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
67
It's very common for interviewers to simply ask you to tell them about yourself.
68
That can feel overwhelming.
69
But don't worry.
70
What they really want you to focus on is your education and work history.
71
You can also let them know what areas you have a lot of experience in, or what your interests are, when answering this question.
72
Here are a few different ways to begin your answer.
73
I studied at Harvard University and graduated in 2012 with a degree in business.
74
I've been working at Smith Incorporated for 10 years as a manager.
75
I have 12 years of experience in graphic design.
76
Because of my time at Verizon, I have a lot of experience in providing customer service.
77
If you're preparing for an interview, practice talking about yourself and your work history.
78
Record yourself with a video camera if possible.
79
Make sure it's not too long, maybe around a minute.
80
Go back and listen or watch, and write down phrases that worked well to use again.
81
If there was anything you stumbled over or left out, write down some possible phrases you could have used.
82
The next day, do the same exercise.
83
It's important that you don't just write a paragraph and memorize it, but simply practice free talking with some key phrases.
84
The more you practice before the interview, the more comfortable you'll feel answering the questions during the interview.
85
So, to get started, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
86
Sure!
87
I studied at the University of Florida and graduated in 2010 with a master's degree in toy design.
88
After graduation, I was hired at Happy Kids Creative.
89
I've been there for the past five years and am currently the director of toy production.
90
During that time, sales have grown steadily.
91
It's been a great experience, but I've run out of room to grow with HKC, and I'm looking for new opportunities.
92
I have a lot of experience leading teams in the creative process and finding new markets for the products that we create.
93
That's great.
94
To be continued.
95
We'll pick it up from here in the next video in this series.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

Assistir a vídeos sobre entrevistas de emprego em inglês é uma maneira eficaz de melhorar suas habilidades de conversação. Neste vídeo, você terá a oportunidade de ouvir um exemplo real de uma entrevista e se familiarizar com a linguagem utilizada nesse contexto. A prática de conversação em inglês se torna muito mais acessível quando você recebe dicas sobre como responder perguntas comuns e conduzir pequenas conversas que servem para quebrar o gelo antes do processo principal. Além disso, você pode aproveitar o recurso de shadowing, imitando o que ouviu, promovendo uma prática intensa. O objetivo é construir sua confiança ao falar em inglês, especialmente em situações que podem gerar ansiedade, como entrevistas de emprego.

Gramática & Expressões no Contexto

Durante a entrevista, várias estruturas e expressões são utilizadas que podem ser úteis para você. Aqui estão algumas que merecem atenção:

  • “Thanks so much for coming in.” – Uma expressão comum de cortesia em entrevistas, mostrando apreciação pela presença do entrevistado.
  • “Did you have any trouble finding the office?” – Essa pergunta é uma maneira de iniciar uma conversa amigável e criar um ambiente relaxado.
  • “How was your weekend?” – Perguntas sobre o fim de semana são típicas de small talk, ajudando a criar conexão entre o entrevistador e candidato.
  • “That sounds nice.” – Uma ótima resposta sinalizando interesse e continuidade em uma conversa.

Essas expressões não só melhoram sua fluência, mas também aumentam a naturalidade da sua fala. Ao aprender inglês com YouTube, você pode repetir essas frases, focando na entonação e fluência.

Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia

Na prática da da fala, algumas palavras e expressões podem ser desafiadoras para não nativos. No vídeo, preste atenção a:

  • “Interview” – A forma como esta palavra é pronunciada pode ser difícil. Tente praticar a ênfase na primeira sílaba.
  • “A pleasure” – Essa expressão é frequentemente abreviada, mas é importante pronunciar claramente para evitar mal-entendidos.
  • “Really well” – É necessário cuidadar com a ligação entre as palavras para que a fluência se mantenha.

Usar a técnica de shadow speech pode ajudá-lo a acertar a pronúncia, repetindo após o vídeo e ajustando sua fala. Lembre-se de que erros são parte do aprendizado e a prática constante é chave para superar essas armadilhas. Experimente incorporar essas técnicas nas suas sessões de shadowing em inglês!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
