1
Tell us a little bit about yourself is a very, very common opener to an interview.
"Fale um pouco sobre você" é uma abertura muito, muito comum em entrevistas.
2
And this is actually an opportunity for you to deliver a very concise,
3
well -structured response that will impress the person interviewing you from the very beginning
4
and set the tone right from the very start.
5
The most important thing is that for the answer to this question, you should not be rambling on,
6
but you should have a plan what you're talking about and you should give a concise answer.
7
You have to remember why people ask this question.
8
I mean they have already looked at your CV so they basically already know a little bit about yourself.
9
What they want from you by asking this question is to find out
10
if you can think through what you have done clearly enough to deliver a well -structured answer
11
that clearly communicates what you're all about.
12
So this is your chance to show that you can communicate clearly and effectively.
13
It is also an opportunity to steer where the conversation may be heading to next.
14
One good way to answer this question is to state what your training has been, what your main interests are, what your previous research was on,
15
what you found in a nutshell, and what you're looking forward to doing next.
16
So basically it gives you a bit of an overview of the past, the present, and the future.
17
One answer example could for example be I am an ecologist by training and I'm most interested in soil ecology.
18
I did my PhD on soil fungi where I found out how they respond to a major factor of global change, namely elevated atmospheric CO2.
19
I really enjoyed learning about this topic using molecular methods
20
and now I'm looking forward to applying the same principles to
21
find out how fungi might respond to multiple factors of global change next.
22
I think this would be a good answer because it's concise and to the point it's not cluttered with unnecessary detail.
23
It shows where you're coming from shows what you have enjoyed a lot and what you're actually planning on doing next,
24
like how you seek to grow professionally in the future.
25
And it can prompt a follow -on question like, what have you actually found out about elevated CO2 effects?
26
Or why are you so interested in finding out what multiple global change factors do?
27
And now some four tips on how to answer this question in general terms.
28
Number one, given that it is so important
29
that you communicate very clearly in response to this question
30
it would be a very good idea to take some notes
31
so you make sure what you say is already kind of laid out i mean don't memorize an answer
32
but make sure that you hit all the major points
33
that you wanted to hit on in response to that question remember
34
that this is the first impression during the interview
35
if the interviewer really starts out with that question
36
so it's important to get it just right and also remember
37
that you can tailor your response a little bit to fit the position better.
38
For example, if this is a position about molecular methods, you might add some detail on the molecular methods you have been using
39
and what are your plans to refine your knowledge on molecular methods going forward.
40
Second point, do not start with childhood stories like I always like to play in the sand
41
when I was little or something like that.
42
Don't answer with what your hobbies are, just keep it strictly professional to your education and to your research experience.
43
Tip three, you can also say something about your general personality without being unnecessarily revealing.
44
For example, you might say, I'm coming across as a bit shy in the beginning, but I really enjoy working in the team.
45
Once I get to know people, I am actually a very good team player.
46
And number four, remember that your answer to
47
that question can really sort of steer the interviewer to the next question
48
so make sure you steer it in the direction
49
that you want to go and that plays on your strengths for example statistical methods
50
or molecular methods or whatever have you and with
51
that good luck with your interview let me know what your
52
experience with this question was in the comments thanks for watching and see you in the next video bye

Pronúncia para ficar de olho
O falante usa 10 contrações e formas reduzidas, como you're, I'm, don't. Diga-as na forma curta, do jeito que você ouve.
- Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: impression /ɪmˈpɹɛʃn̩/, nutshell /ˈnʌt.ʃɛl/
- Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: molecular /məˈlɛk.jə.ləɹ/, communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/, unnecessary /ʌnˈnɛs.əˌsɛɹ.i/, statistical /stəˈtɪs.tɪ.kəl/, atmospheric /ˌætməsˈfɛɹɪk/
Sons difíceis para falantes de português:
- Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/, topic /ˈtɑpɪk/, sand /sænd/, prompt /pɹɑmpt/, atmospheric /ˌætməsˈfɛɹɪk/
- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: soil /sɔɪl/, reveal /ɹɪˈviːl/, principle /ˈpɹɪn.sɪ.pəl/, statistical /stəˈtɪs.tɪ.kəl/, nutshell /ˈnʌt.ʃɛl/
- s + consoante no início — sem um “i” antes: steer /stɪɹ/, strictly /ˈstɹɪktli/, statistical /stəˈtɪs.tɪ.kəl/

- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como molecular, communicate, steer.
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.
