1
You're hired!
2
Two words everybody loves to hear.
3
But before we hear these words comes The interview.
4
Today's video is part one in a series that's all about preparing for a job interview.
5
This is part one of a five-part series on preparing for an interview.
6
Interviewing for a new job can be a huge source of stress and anxiety.
7
And if you're interviewing for a job in a non-native language, the stress can be even higher.
8
In this video, you'll see me interview for a job.
9
Throughout the interview, we'll discuss some of the most common interview questions and how to answer them.
10
You'll also learn some basic information to get you started on creating your own answers to these questions.
11
Let's begin.
12
Hello, Ms.
13
Smith.
14
I'm Tom Kelly.
15
Thanks so much for coming in.
16
It's my pleasure.
17
Thanks so much for meeting with me.
18
Of course.
19
Did you have any trouble finding the office?
20
Small talk.
21
Most interviews will start out with a handshake and some small talk.
22
This may include questions about how you're doing, your travel to the interview, the weather, how your weekend went, and more.
23
All you need to do is be polite and friendly.
24
Keep your answers short.
25
You can also feel free to turn the question back to the interviewer.
26
For instance, if the interviewer asks you how your weekend was, you might respond, It was great!
27
We celebrated my mom's birthday.
28
How was your weekend?
29
Small talk is used to build a more comfortable environment before the interview begins.
30
It may seem silly, but you can practice small talk on your own by asking yourself simple, easy to answer, non-personal questions.
31
You could also practice with a friend.
32
Here's an example of small talk.
33
How are you doing?
34
I'm great, thank Thank you.
35
And you?
36
How are you doing?
37
I'm doing really well.
38
It's such a nice day out there.
39
It is.
40
It was perfect weather all weekend.
41
It was.
42
Did you do anything interesting over the weekend?
43
Yes, I went to the park with my family for a picnic.
44
That sounds nice.
45
It was.
46
And you?
47
I worked this weekend, but I got a lot done, so that was good.
48
It does feel good to get work done.
49
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.
50
Hello, Ms.
51
Smith.
52
I'm Tom Kelly.
53
Thanks so much for coming in.
54
It's my pleasure.
55
Thanks so much for meeting with me.
56
Of course.
57
Did you have any trouble finding the office?
58
Nope, the directions on the website were great.
59
Good.
60
Would you like some water or coffee before we begin?
61
I'm okay, thank you.
62
Alright.
63
So, to get started, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
64
Sure.
65
Common question.
66
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
67
It's very common for interviewers to simply ask you to tell them about yourself.
68
That can feel overwhelming.
69
But don't worry.
70
What they really want you to focus on is your education and work history.
71
You can also let them know what areas you have a lot of experience in, or what your interests are, when answering this question.
72
Here are a few different ways to begin your answer.
73
I studied at Harvard University and graduated in 2012 with a degree in business.
74
I've been working at Smith Incorporated for 10 years as a manager.
75
I have 12 years of experience in graphic design.
76
Because of my time at Verizon, I have a lot of experience in providing customer service.
77
If you're preparing for an interview, practice talking about yourself and your work history.
78
Record yourself with a video camera if possible.
79
Make sure it's not too long, maybe around a minute.
80
Go back and listen or watch, and write down phrases that worked well to use again.
81
If there was anything you stumbled over or left out, write down some possible phrases you could have used.
82
The next day, do the same exercise.
83
It's important that you don't just write a paragraph and memorize it, but simply practice free talking with some key phrases.
84
The more you practice before the interview, the more comfortable you'll feel answering the questions during the interview.
85
So, to get started, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
86
Sure!
87
I studied at the University of Florida and graduated in 2010 with a master's degree in toy design.
88
After graduation, I was hired at Happy Kids Creative.
89
I've been there for the past five years and am currently the director of toy production.
90
During that time, sales have grown steadily.
91
It's been a great experience, but I've run out of room to grow with HKC, and I'm looking for new opportunities.
92
I have a lot of experience leading teams in the creative process and finding new markets for the products that we create.
93
That's great.
94
To be continued.
95
We'll pick it up from here in the next video in this series.
96
In the next video, we'll go over three more common interview questions.
97
How did you hear about this position?
98
What attracted you to our company?
99
And, what's your greatest strength?
100
I hope this video on job interviews has been helpful.
101
There's nothing better than walking out of an interview feeling that you were fully prepared.

关于本课
在本课中，您将学习如何准备英语面试，特别是如何应对常见的面试问题。您将了解一些基本的礼仪，包括如何进行寒暄，以及如何保持对话轻松友好。通过观看我与面试官的对话，您可以学习如何在面试中自信地表达自己，尤其是在非母语环境中面对面试时。
关键词汇与短语
- 您好（Hello） - 面试时的常见问候语。
- 谢谢（Thanks） - 表达感谢的礼貌用语。
- 寒暄（Small talk） - 打破僵局的轻松对话。
- 周末（Weekend） - 一周的最后两天，也是面试中常见话题。
- 很高兴见到您（It's my pleasure） - 回应对方的礼貌表达。
- 办公室（Office） - 面试进行的地点。
- 舒适（Comfortable） - 面试环境的理想状态。
- 有趣（Interesting） - 在寒暄中用于引入话题的形容词。
练习提示
进行英语影子跟读（shadowing）时，可以选择与本视频相似的对话材料，以提高您的英语发音和流利度。由于本视频的语速适中，非常适合初学者。尝试在观看时模仿面试官和应聘者的语调和语速，您可以使用“shadow speech”技巧。以下是一些具体建议：
- 播放视频并暂停，在每个对话段落后跟读，确保模仿声调和节奏。
- 重复听每一段，直到您能够流畅地跟随并准确发音。
- 与朋友一起练习寒暄，互相问候，分享周末的趣事，这不仅有助于提高英语，还能增强与他人的互动能力。
- 观察面试官和应聘者的身体语言，这对您理解英语交流的非语言部分也大有帮助。
通过这种方式，您将逐步提高自己的英语面试技巧，更自信地参加面试。请记得，练习是提高英语发音和交流能力的关键，利用“shadowspeaks”的理念，日常进行跟读，将有助于您战胜面试中的紧张情绪。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
