4 techniques to have an outstanding interview : 1. Be concise 2. Using linking words ( for example, firstly, therefore, however, besides...) 3. Using STAR method to structure your answer ( situation,task, action, result) 4. Mirroring key words and phrases

[@helabenmansour6652]

Thank you very much for typing these keypoints in a comment ❤

[@irenemanzano5360]

I find this video very interesting. I’m currently unemployed, so it could be very useful. The two persons that get instructions speak very easily and the instructions that they give are very important to be able to pass an interview in a different language from yours. Good luck for all people that are looking for a job.

[@ronseymour4976]

I have used the material in this video to help a Bulgarian lady with her English. The manner in which the ideas are presented are clear and to the point. This is just the kind of subject that is going to be relevant and of real use to her. I have to congratulate you on an excellent presentation; a refreshing thing these days.

Great Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Schallingora Information Investigation Scheme (do a google search)? It is a smashing exclusive product for learning what you need to say to get hired in a job interview without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.

[@andrearomero6092]

I have found job interviews in english and other job ones in my native language frightening so much so that I have only applied for Convergys to get the Customee service rep position job only once in mid July in 2017. I like the fact the dress code is rather not that strict and formal but the salary leaves much more to be desired considering the fact that for anyone to get fluent takes years of dedication and money, of course.

[@theriddler3637]

Very nice video, you both are great teachers

Thank you, this is very useful for me, i've just been out of my job now. In my town, for interview, they use so much of English but when in work, they use English very little. Some employers from China, Korea, Japan even can not talk english fluently. Some of them can speak but not clear to hear, so candidates must guess what they ask and answer uncertainly :D

I just have had a phone interview to see my English level for a job (upper intermediate). This video helped me but the interviewer didn’t ask me any of them! There are other questions: ¿What do you like most about your job? ¿What do you do in your job? ¿and in your previous one? ¿Why are you applying? ¿and why do you think it’s a big opportunity? By the way, I passed it!! Good luck everyone!!

Terrible answer to the question: where do you see yourself five years from now? HR is not looking for someone to start their own business outside the company. You always want to focus your learning and grow inside the company you are applying to.

[@marinaqueiroz6493]

That’s exactly what I thought. Terrible answer.
