You're hired!

Two words everybody loves to hear.

But before we hear these words comes The interview.

Today's video is part one in a series that's all about preparing for a job interview.

This is part one of a five-part series on preparing for an interview.

Interviewing for a new job can be a huge source of stress and anxiety.

And if you're interviewing for a job in a non-native language, the stress can be even higher.

In this video, you'll see me interview for a job.

Throughout the interview, we'll discuss some of the most common interview questions and how to answer them.

You'll also learn some basic information to get you started on creating your own answers to these questions.

Let's begin.

Hello, Ms.

Smith.

I'm Tom Kelly.

Thanks so much for coming in.

It's my pleasure.

Thanks so much for meeting with me.

Of course.

Did you have any trouble finding the office?

Small talk.

Most interviews will start out with a handshake and some small talk.

This may include questions about how you're doing, your travel to the interview, the weather, how your weekend went, and more.

All you need to do is be polite and friendly.

Keep your answers short.

You can also feel free to turn the question back to the interviewer.

For instance, if the interviewer asks you how your weekend was, you might respond, It was great!

We celebrated my mom's birthday.

How was your weekend?

Small talk is used to build a more comfortable environment before the interview begins.

It may seem silly, but you can practice small talk on your own by asking yourself simple, easy to answer, non-personal questions.

You could also practice with a friend.

Here's an example of small talk.

How are you doing?

I'm great, thank Thank you.

And you?

How are you doing?

I'm doing really well.

It's such a nice day out there.

It is.

It was perfect weather all weekend.

It was.

Did you do anything interesting over the weekend?

Yes, I went to the park with my family for a picnic.

That sounds nice.

It was.

And you?

I worked this weekend, but I got a lot done, so that was good.

It does feel good to get work done.

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.

Hello, Ms.

Smith.

I'm Tom Kelly.

Thanks so much for coming in.

It's my pleasure.

Thanks so much for meeting with me.

Of course.

Did you have any trouble finding the office?

Nope, the directions on the website were great.

Good.

Would you like some water or coffee before we begin?

I'm okay, thank you.

Alright.

So, to get started, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?

Sure.

Common question.

Tell me a little bit about yourself.

It's very common for interviewers to simply ask you to tell them about yourself.

That can feel overwhelming.

But don't worry.

What they really want you to focus on is your education and work history.

You can also let them know what areas you have a lot of experience in, or what your interests are, when answering this question.

Here are a few different ways to begin your answer.

I studied at Harvard University and graduated in 2012 with a degree in business.

I've been working at Smith Incorporated for 10 years as a manager.

I have 12 years of experience in graphic design.

Because of my time at Verizon, I have a lot of experience in providing customer service.

If you're preparing for an interview, practice talking about yourself and your work history.

Record yourself with a video camera if possible.

Make sure it's not too long, maybe around a minute.

Go back and listen or watch, and write down phrases that worked well to use again.

If there was anything you stumbled over or left out, write down some possible phrases you could have used.

The next day, do the same exercise.

It's important that you don't just write a paragraph and memorize it, but simply practice free talking with some key phrases.

The more you practice before the interview, the more comfortable you'll feel answering the questions during the interview.

So, to get started, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?

Sure!

I studied at the University of Florida and graduated in 2010 with a master's degree in toy design.

After graduation, I was hired at Happy Kids Creative.

I've been there for the past five years and am currently the director of toy production.

During that time, sales have grown steadily.

It's been a great experience, but I've run out of room to grow with HKC, and I'm looking for new opportunities.

I have a lot of experience leading teams in the creative process and finding new markets for the products that we create.

That's great.

To be continued.

We'll pick it up from here in the next video in this series.

In the next video, we'll go over three more common interview questions.

How did you hear about this position?

What attracted you to our company?

And, what's your greatest strength?

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.
