1
Hey Marcus, thanks for coming in. Grab a seat.
2
Thanks! This office is amazing, by the way.
3
We just moved in last month, so it's still a bit chaotic.
4
Okay, let's get started. Tell me about your current role.
5
I'm a back-end developer at a mid-sized online retailer.
6
I mainly build and maintain our payment systems.
7
So why are you thinking about leaving?
8
I feel like I've hit a ceiling there.
9
Most decisions are made by a team overseas.
10
I'd like to have more say in what we build.
11
That's definitely something you'd get here.
12
Walk me through a project you're really proud of.
13
Last year, our checkout kept crashing during big sales.
14
I was asked to find out what was causing it.
15
It turned out the database couldn't handle the traffic.
16
After we redesigned it, crashes dropped by about ninety percent.
17
Wow, that must have taken a lot of pressure off the team.
18
How do you handle disagreements about technical decisions?
19
I try not to take it personally.
20
I'll explain my reasoning, but I also listen carefully.
21
At the end of the day, the best idea should win.
22
I couldn't agree more.
23
What's something you're still working on?
24
I used to take on too much at once.
25
Now I'm much better at saying no, or not yet.
26
Honestly, that's a really valuable skill in a startup.
27
Can I ask how the team is structured?
28
Sure. There are six developers, and we work in small squads.
29
The next step would be a short coding task.
30
Sounds great. I'm looking forward to it.
31
Awesome. We'll be in touch in a few days.

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。
