8
i was desperate at one time in my life desperate for a job i was unemployed
9
and I had just a little bit of savings
10
and my savings were going down down down very quickly I desperately sent out resumes
11
and cover letters now eventually I did get some interviews
12
but they all went the same I went into the interviews
13
and i was confident you know this was later in my life
14
so i had more confidence i was uh better at interviewing
15
but still not great so i would go in and they asked the usual questions again
16
what's your greatest strength well my greatest strength is that um
17
you know i work very hard i'm intelligent i'm always looking to solve problems whatever something like
18
that what's your greatest weakness why do you want
19
this job what do you want to be doing in five years all
20
that stuff and I gave decent but boring answers like most people and I did not get called again
21
and I started to panic
22
because I was getting job interviews I was doing a good job with my cover letters
23
and resumes and I use a method I was using a method that I use that I talk about rather,
24
in the Business English Conversations course, businessenglishconversations .com.
25
A very powerful and effective method for getting interviews using letters or emails.
26
Now we can do emails and resumes.
27
So that wasn't my problem.
28
I could get interviews, no problem, but I could not pass the interviews.
29
I would get one interview and then done.
30
One interview and then done one interview then done again
31
and again and again and then i was getting more and more
32
and more desperate like oh my god
33
i i i'm not gonna be able to pay my rent
34
i i'm not going to be able to pay my bills my phone bill
35
i'm gonna starve you know all these thoughts in my head i was starting to panic and that's
36
when i decided to try something different in the next interview
37
i got an interview at a hospital for a job in the emergency room as a social worker
38
i thought i've got to do something different in my job interviews
39
so i decided to try something new and different
40
and i decided to use two magic words two magic words and these two magic words
41
transformed my interviewing ability.
42
With these two words, I went from being okay at interviewing to great at interviewing.
43
I got that job in the emergency room because of those two words.
44
And then after that, anytime I went for a job interview, I got the job offer.
45
I had a hundred percent record after that until I started my own business.
46
Mainly because of these two magic words, the two magic words of job interviewing.
47
What are they?
48
I know you're wondering, what are they, AJ?
49
Why don't you tell us?
50
Because I want you to think about it.
51
What do you think they are?
52
The two most powerful words you can use in any job interview.
53
Any job interview, any situation, doesn't matter.
54
Two most powerful words when you give an answer.
55
Ideas?
56
all right i'll tell you the two most powerful words in job interviewing are for example for example
57
for example for example makes you an amazing interviewer let me tell you how it works
58
i'll show you i'll give you two different answers the second one will use the magic words so number one
59
um tell us about your uh job history you know are you good at showing up on time
60
oh yes i'm very punctual you know i i always come to work on time i'm not late i'm never late
61
that's answer number one sounds confident sounds good right answer number two much better
62
same thing oh yes yes yes you know i'm i'm always on time
63
i'm never late being punctual being on time is very very important to me for example in my last job
64
i never missed one day of work and i was never late.
65
I was on time or early every single day of that job.
66
In fact, I encourage you, please call my former boss.
67
He's one of my references, and I'm sure he'll be happy to talk to you about my attendance record
68
and my dedication to being on time and punctual.
69
But that's not the only thing that's important.
70
You know, it's also important when you're at work to do good work, to be proactive.
71
For example, at my last job, we had a big project.
72
There was a problem.
73
One of our team members quit, and I had to step in and do his work also.
74
And we got the project finished on time.
75
I'm very proud of that.
76
Can you feel the difference between those answers?
77
Can you see what that does?
78
Those two magic words, for example, they transform the answer how do they do it well by
79
being specific see as a job interviewer what i want is i want a proof
80
i want evidence every person says the same thing okay nobody comes into a job interview
81
and says you know really i'm not a good worker i'm lazy
82
and i'm always late and I really hate working and I suck, my skills are no good.
83
Nobody says that.
84
Nobody, even though it's probably true for a lot of them.
85
They don't say that.
86
Everybody says they're always on time.
87
Everybody says they're a hard worker.
88
Everybody says they have good skills.
89
Everybody does.
90
So just saying it is meaningless in a job interview.
91
The interviewer doesn't believe it that he hears every person says exactly the same thing.
92
He doesn't really believe it.
93
So how will you be different?
94
How will you convince him that it's true?
95
With examples, specific stories, specific examples, specific numbers.
96
When you say for example and then you tell a story to show your actions,
97
not just talk about it but show specifically when you did something
98
and how you did it then you give the interviewer a picture they start they see you performing
99
and this will make you
100
so much different than most other interviewers most other interviewers are too general
101
you always want to be specific in your answers you always want to give an example for everything,
102
everything, everything, every answer should have at least one example, specific example.
103
Don't just say you work hard.
104
Talk about a specific time when you worked hard.
105
Talk about the details, about how hard it was.
106
And I stayed up every night until midnight.
107
Then I would sleep for four hours.
108
And then I got up at eight the next morning and worked again because this project was so important.
109
See, that's a specific example of you working hard.
110
Talking about a specific example is so powerful.
111
Just saying, I'm a hard worker, that sucks.
112
That's weak.
113
It's meaningless.
114
Everybody says that.
115
So when you prepare for job interviews, you not only prepare for all the different questions, you have to prepare your examples.
116
You need 20 or 30 great examples from your past to show that you work hard, to show that you solve problems,
117
to show that you can work with other people well.
118
to show that you know how to make money, to show that you know how to save money,
119
to show that you're not stupid or crazy or foolish or difficult, to show that you come to work on time, all of those things, right,
120
that employers are looking for.
121
You need specific stories, specific examples to show each of those things.
122
Don't just say it, show it with specific examples.
123
This makes you a super powerful interviewer.
124
They will remember you.
125
You will get a lot more job offers when you do this in every interview.
126
For example, you should use that phrase,
127
those two words, in every single answer you give.
128
I'm giving you, this is a super powerful secret.
129
It's simple it's simple but see it takes time
130
because you really have to think about it you got to
131
think about all the details the more detailed your example the more detailed your stories the better
132
they're more powerful the detailed examples that's what's powerful that's what's convincing that's what sells yourself to the interviewer
133
that's what convinces them that you're special that you are better than the others
134
that you're different
135
that they should hire you now common question
136
I get especially from young people maybe they're just in college they'll say well
137
but I don't have any work experience I don't have any examples hmm what should I do then?
138
Well, you need to get examples.
139
That means you need to get out and live your life, get out of the damn classroom, stop just taking notes and taking tests.
140
That's all useless.
141
Get out in the real world and do something useful.
142
Then you will have the stories.
143
Then you will have the examples.
144
How can you do that?
145
Get a part -time job.
146
Even working at McDonald's or Pizza Hut or fast food, that's still a job.
147
And you can still show that you worked hard
148
that you were on time that you were good working with other people
149
that you could handle money there are a lot of good things
150
that come from a job like that
151
that you can show just got to think about it something else
152
you can do is volunteer volunteer for different groups charities events in your school
153
or outside of your school
154
and again this shows you can show leadership
155
you can show examples of hard work
156
you can show examples of getting results all of those things you need to get out in the real world
157
and do something don't just complain oh i don't have a job yet
158
because i've just been in school well that's no excuse you're going to lose you're going to lose
159
if you just think
160
that being in school is enough it's not enough everybody else interviewing also went to school
161
so just going to school it's not enough
162
so you better get your butt out in the real world
163
and do something useful then you will have the examples then you will have the stories
164
and the other guys won't you'll get the great jobs they won't
165
and of course as you get older it should get easier
166
because you get more and more and more and more work experience
167
and life experience so you should have more and more
168
and more great stories great examples of all the good things you've done to prove to prove
169
that you will be useful and good and skillful and hardworking and on time and all of those things.
170
You want to prove it.
171
Don't just say it.
172
Prove it.
173
This is also where having good references can help.
174
I gave that one example.
175
If you know you have a great reference, if you did good work for them and you know they will say great things about you,
176
mention them in the interview.
177
Actually encourage the interviewer to call them.
178
Say, you know, one of my references is my last boss from my last job
179
and you know i completed a great project
180
that made fifty thousand dollars for the company
181
and he was very happy i encourage you please you know call him
182
and talk to him about my work i know that he's going to say great things
183
you can say it a little differently
184
but you know some people it's like they're almost afraid of their references you should have good references
185
so that you encourage the interviewer
186
because that's more proof it's more evidence not just talking everybody talks the more evidence
187
and specific examples you can give the better the chance you get the job
188
and you get the better jobs and you get higher pay
189
and over the years as you get older in your career your career will go higher
190
and higher better and better as you get good at this
191
all right so that's it it's a simple one today short
192
but this is super powerful super super powerful i want you to get out there
193
and get those great jobs

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
