En qué consiste

A job interview is much more than a conversation about a job. It is a first impression, a small performance, and an opportunity to show who you are, what you can do, and how you think. For many people, an interview produces nerves, sweaty hands, and a fast heartbeat. That is completely normal. Even experienced professionals feel nervous before an important interview, because we all want to be accepted, respected, and chosen. The good news is that a job interview is a skill, and like any skill, it can be prepared, practiced, and improved. Let me tell you a story. Two years ago, I interviewed a young woman named Carla for a position as an assistant in my cleaning service in San Juan. She arrived fifteen minutes early, she was wearing clean, professional clothes, and she carried a small notebook. She did not have the most experience on her résumé, but she had something more valuable: preparation. Let's talk — 10 questions to discuss with your voice tutor: 1. How do you usually feel before a job interview, and what helps you calm your nerves? 2. What was the best or worst job interview you have ever had? What happened? 3. How would you answer the question "Tell me about yourself" in English? 4. What are your three greatest professional strengths? Give an example of each one. 5. What weakness have you improved in recent years, and how did you improve it? 6. Why is it important to research a company before an interview? 7. What questions would you like to ask an employer at the end of an interview? 8. How important are clothes and punctuality in a first impression? Do you agree? 9. If part of your interview were in English tomorrow, what would be the most difficult part for you? 10. What advice would you give to a young person who is going to their first job interview? 📖 La lectura completa llegará en una actualización (la plataforma ahora limita el texto por lección).
