i was desperate at one time in my life desperate for a job i was unemployed

and I had just a little bit of savings

and my savings were going down down down very quickly I desperately sent out resumes

and cover letters now eventually I did get some interviews

but they all went the same I went into the interviews

and i was confident you know this was later in my life

so i had more confidence i was uh better at interviewing

but still not great so i would go in and they asked the usual questions again

what's your greatest strength well my greatest strength is that um

you know i work very hard i'm intelligent i'm always looking to solve problems whatever something like

that what's your greatest weakness why do you want

this job what do you want to be doing in five years all

that stuff and I gave decent but boring answers like most people and I did not get called again

and I started to panic

because I was getting job interviews I was doing a good job with my cover letters

and resumes and I use a method I was using a method that I use that I talk about rather,

in the Business English Conversations course, businessenglishconversations .com.

A very powerful and effective method for getting interviews using letters or emails.

Now we can do emails and resumes.

So that wasn't my problem.

I could get interviews, no problem, but I could not pass the interviews.

I would get one interview and then done.

One interview and then done one interview then done again

and again and again and then i was getting more and more

and more desperate like oh my god

i i i'm not gonna be able to pay my rent

i i'm not going to be able to pay my bills my phone bill

i'm gonna starve you know all these thoughts in my head i was starting to panic and that's

when i decided to try something different in the next interview

i got an interview at a hospital for a job in the emergency room as a social worker

i thought i've got to do something different in my job interviews

so i decided to try something new and different

and i decided to use two magic words two magic words and these two magic words

transformed my interviewing ability.

With these two words, I went from being okay at interviewing to great at interviewing.

I got that job in the emergency room because of those two words.

And then after that, anytime I went for a job interview, I got the job offer.

I had a hundred percent record after that until I started my own business.

Mainly because of these two magic words, the two magic words of job interviewing.

What are they?

I know you're wondering, what are they, AJ?

Why don't you tell us?

Because I want you to think about it.

What do you think they are?

The two most powerful words you can use in any job interview.

Any job interview, any situation, doesn't matter.

Two most powerful words when you give an answer.

Ideas?

all right i'll tell you the two most powerful words in job interviewing are for example for example

for example for example makes you an amazing interviewer let me tell you how it works

i'll show you i'll give you two different answers the second one will use the magic words so number one

um tell us about your uh job history you know are you good at showing up on time

oh yes i'm very punctual you know i i always come to work on time i'm not late i'm never late

that's answer number one sounds confident sounds good right answer number two much better

same thing oh yes yes yes you know i'm i'm always on time

i'm never late being punctual being on time is very very important to me for example in my last job

i never missed one day of work and i was never late.

I was on time or early every single day of that job.

In fact, I encourage you, please call my former boss.

He's one of my references, and I'm sure he'll be happy to talk to you about my attendance record

and my dedication to being on time and punctual.

But that's not the only thing that's important.

You know, it's also important when you're at work to do good work, to be proactive.

For example, at my last job, we had a big project.

There was a problem.

One of our team members quit, and I had to step in and do his work also.

And we got the project finished on time.

I'm very proud of that.

Can you feel the difference between those answers?

Can you see what that does?

Those two magic words, for example, they transform the answer how do they do it well by

being specific see as a job interviewer what i want is i want a proof

i want evidence every person says the same thing okay nobody comes into a job interview

and says you know really i'm not a good worker i'm lazy

and i'm always late and I really hate working and I suck, my skills are no good.

Nobody says that.

Nobody, even though it's probably true for a lot of them.

They don't say that.

Everybody says they're always on time.

Everybody says they're a hard worker.

Everybody says they have good skills.

Everybody does.

So just saying it is meaningless in a job interview.

The interviewer doesn't believe it that he hears every person says exactly the same thing.

He doesn't really believe it.

So how will you be different?

How will you convince him that it's true?

With examples, specific stories, specific examples, specific numbers.

When you say for example and then you tell a story to show your actions,

not just talk about it but show specifically when you did something

and how you did it then you give the interviewer a picture they start they see you performing

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

194

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
