BEP 41 ADV - Job Interviews: First Round (Part 2)
BEP 41 ADV - This is the second in a two-part Business English Pod lesson on first round job interviews. You’ll practice responding to common interview questions and learn some useful phrases and vocabulary.
As you’ll remember from the first episode, Mike Barnes is interviewing William Chow for a job at the Hong Kong head office of First Mercantile International, a global bank. William had just finished telling Mike about his work history, management style and personal characteristics. Our HR manager, Mike, continues the interview with another very common first round question. Lets see what it is and think about how you would answer the question?
You can download a PDF list of useful phrases to describe your personal characteristics by ‘right-clicking’ on this link and selecting the ‘save’ option.

Thanks for making it

i want to know about job interviews.
Hi Anuj,
Job interviews are definitely a popular topic and were planning to do more podcasts on different types of interviews. These are in the development stage and should be released later in the summer.
In the meantime, I suggest you listen to BEP 40 & 41 a couple times more - there’s a lot of useful language in these for job interviews.
Keep in touch!
