Job interview.

Good afternoon, Mr. Carter.

Thanks for coming in today.

Good afternoon.

Please have a seat.

To start, can you tell me a bit about yourself?

Sure.

My name is Alex Carter.

I'm 23 years old.

And I just graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor's degree in business administration.

I focused on marketing and management.

During college, I did a six-month internship at a local startup where I helped with customer outreach and social media.

Great!

Why are you interested in this business development associate role at our company?

I really like your company because you make innovative apps for small businesses.

I want to work for a fast-moving tech company where I can learn quickly.

This role matches my skills,

and I think I can add value by finding new partners and clients.

What do you think are your strongest skills?

My top strengths are communication and organization.

I'm good at talking to people,

both in person and online.

I'm also quick to learn new software.

That's useful.

Can you tell me about a time you faced a challenge and how you handled it?

Yes, in my senior year,

I led a group project for a marketing class.

But two team members were sick and couldn't contribute much.

The deadline was tight.

I reorganized the work, talked to everyone clearly about new tasks,

and stayed late a few nights to help finish.

We got an A on the project,

and the professor said our plan was the best in the class.

Nice example.

Teamwork is key here.

What do you know about our products?

Your best seller is a simple app that helps small shops manage inventory,

payments, and customer loyalty.

I like that it's easy to use and affordable.

Good research.

One more question.

What have you taught yourself recently?

I recently taught myself how to better understand a company's product and explain its value clearly to potential customers.

Thank you, Alex.

We'll be in touch next week with our decision.

Thank you so much for the opportunity.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Negotiating in English.

Prices, deadlines, offers.

Hi, Jake.

This is Mia from BuzzBox.

We love your phone cases.

Super cool designs.

Hi, Mia.

Great to hear.

We want 5,000 pieces for our new store.

What's your best price?

Our normal price is $4.50 each.

Delivery in 20 days.

Good quality, fast shipping.

Wow! $4.50?

That's almost the price of my morning coffee for a year!

Can we start lower?

My opening offer is $2.99 each.

And maybe 10 days delivery?

$2.99?

You're killing me, Mia.

At that price, I'll have to eat noodles for lunch forever.

Our costs are high because of the colorful prints.

But okay, I can do $3.80 if you take 15 days delivery.

Noodles?

No way!

Let's meet in the middle.

How about $3.40 and 12 days?

Plus, if it's fast, I'll order more next month.

Promise.

You drive a hard bargain,

but I like your style.

$3.50 and 14 days.

Deal?

Yes, deal!

You're the best!

Send the contract and maybe throw in a free sample for my coffee fund?

Okay, one free case coming your way.

Talk soon!

Disagreeing diplomatically I think we should add a premium version with extra colors and faster charging.

Customers will pay more for it.

I see your point, David.

And premium versions can bring more profit.

However, I'm not sure it's the best idea right now.

Our main customers want simple and affordable products.

Adding too many options might make the basic model look less attractive.

Hmm.

I don't think it will look less attractive.

I'm afraid I see it a little differently.

Maybe we can start with just one version and add premium later if sales are good.

This way, we keep things simple and test the market first.

I agree with Sophie.

Premium could work, but not for the first launch.

100

Exactly.

101

I respect your idea, David,

102

but I think starting simple is safer.

103

Fair enough.

104

I hadn't thought about confusing customers.

105

Let's go with one version for now and review in three months.

106

Thanks for understanding.

107

I just want the launch to be successful for everyone.

108

Small talk that actually works in business.

109

Hi Daniel, nice to see you again.

110

How was your trip to Berlin?

111

Hi, Emma.

112

Nice to see you, too.

113

It was great.

114

Thank you.

115

The meetings went well, and I had some time to explore the city.

116

That's good to hear.

117

I've never been to Berlin,

118

but I've heard it's very creative and international.

119

Yes, it really is.

120

I was surprised by how friendly people are.

121

Have you traveled much for work recently?

122

A little.

123

Last month I went to Madrid for a conference.

124

It was busy, but very interesting.

125

Madrid is a great city.

126

Did you enjoy the conference?

127

Yes, especially the sessions about teamwork and communication.

128

They were very practical.

129

That sounds useful.

130

By the way, how is your new project going?

131

It's going well.

132

Thanks for asking.

133

We're still in the planning stage,

134

but the team is very motivated.

135

That's great!

136

If you ever need support from our department, just let me know.

137

Thank you, Emma.

138

I really appreciate that.

139

You're welcome.

140

Well, shall we head to the meeting room?

141

Yes, let's go.

142

Getting your point across without being rude.

143

Priya, do you have a moment?

144

I was hoping we could talk about how feedback is shared in meetings.

145

Of course.

146

What's on your mind?

147

I don't want this to sound negative, but...

148

when issues are raised very directly in front of everyone,

149

it can sometimes feel discouraging.

150

I see what you mean.

151

That wasn't my intention at all.

152

I tend to be very direct because I want to save time.

153

That makes sense.

154

At the same time, I feel some feedback might be more effective if it's shared privately.

155

That's a good point.

156

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

157

Just to be clear, I really respect your leadership.

158

I'm simply trying to share how the team experiences those moments.

159

I appreciate that.

160

I'm glad you mentioned it in such a constructive way.

161

Perhaps we could consider giving sensitive feedback one-on-one and keeping meetings more solution-focused.

162

I like that suggestion.

163

I'll definitely keep it in mind going forward.

164

Thanks, Priya.

165

I'm glad we could have an open conversation.

166

Interrupting politely.

167

So, for the launch, I think June 21st is perfect.

168

The summer season starts, and...

169

Sorry to interrupt, Tom, but could I just add something quickly?

170

I check the calendar, and our main competitor launches their new product on June 15th.

171

If we go on the 10th,

172

we might get more attention before they do.

173

Oh, good catch.

174

I didn't know that.

175

May I interrupt for a second, too?

176

Sorry, but June 10th is during a big holiday weekend here.

177

Many people travel, so online sales could drop.

178

You're right, Lisa.

179

Thanks for pointing that out.

180

No worries about the interruptions.

181

They're helpful.

182

Let's look at June 1st to 7th, then.

183

Does that work better?

184

Yes.

185

Let's check availability.

186

Of course.

187

I just wanted to make sure we don't miss a good opportunity.

188

Thanks, everyone, for keeping us on the right path.

189

Asking for clarification.

190

Our plan is to target millennials with short videos on TikTok and Instagram Reels.

191

We'll use influencers who have over 50,000 followers.

192

That sounds interesting, Alex.

193

But could you clarify one thing?

194

When you say short videos,

195

how long do you mean?

196

Like 15 seconds or up to one minute?

197

Good question.

198

I mean 15 to 30 seconds.

199

Quick and fun.

200

Thanks.

201

That's clear now.

202

And another thing, sorry to ask,

203

but what budget do we have for influencers?

204

Is it included in the $60,000 or separate?

205

It's separate.

206

We have an extra $10,000 just for influencers.

207

I see.

208

Just to make sure I understand,

209

we pay influencers directly, right?

210

Not through an agency?

211

Yes, directly.

212

It saves money.

213

Perfect.

214

Thank you for explaining.

215

Now I get the full picture.

216

This will help me prepare my part better.

217

No problem at all.

218

It's good to check these details.

219

Bringing a meeting back on track.

220

So, the design is ready but let's talk about suppliers.

221

Last time we used Evermark Group.

222

They were late.

223

Sorry, Ryan, but I'm afraid we're going a bit off topic.

224

We're discussing the timeline now, not suppliers.

225

Oh, right.

226

Sorry.

227

No problem.

228

Let's stay focused on the schedule.

229

We need to decide dates for testing and final approval.

230

Yes, and we also need to talk about the launch event.

231

Who will speak?

232

I think our CEO… Could we come back to that later?

233

We're still on the timeline.

234

Let's finish the dates first,

235

then move to the event.

236

Sure, good idea.

237

To bring us back on track,

238

today's main goal is to agree on the launch dates.

239

So far, we have testing in April and production in May.

240

Does everyone agree?

241

Yes, let's lock that in.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
