Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on second round 영어 인터뷰.

You may know all about the basic 영어 면접 질문. And you might be comfortable talking about your basic qualifications and experience. But most companies don’t stop the selection process after one round of interviews. They create a shortlist and invite a few outstanding candidates back for a second interview.

많은 경우에, that second interview is what we call a behavioral interview. Interviewers will ask questions about how you acted or reacted to challenges in past work, and how you dealt with or adapted to different situations. 이런 식으로, they can find out whether you have the right attitude, 접근하다, and abilities for the job.

The behavioral interview is a special opportunity to demonstrate soft skills, such as leadership, or how you take a principled approach to problems. You might also want to show that you can remain calm in conflict. 많은 경우에, the STAR approach can help shape your responses. This is when you describe four things: the situation, the task, the action, and the result. And in this kind of 영어 면접, you have to be careful, because some interviewers will try to give you leading questions to get you to reveal mistakes or problems.

오늘 대화에서, we’ll hear Kat, who is applying for a job with a private healthcare company. She is being interviewed by Denise. Denise is asking Kat some tough behavioral questions, and Kat is doing a good job of demonstrating some important soft skills.

Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on succeeding in a technical 영어로 인터뷰.

While we have lots of lessons on job 영어 인터뷰, nearly all of them are about the first round of an interview, or the initial screening interview. If you succeed at that, you’ll get called back for a second interview. And it’s the 영어 면접 skills for these 2nd round interviews we want to look at now. 오늘, we’ll focus on the technical interview. And in the next lesson, we’ll look at the behavioral interview.

Just like any interview, preparation for a technical interview is key. And you can think beforehand about how you might show things like innovative experience or a learning attitude. You might also decide to highlight certain attributes that you think are beneficial, like being a team player.

But what about the problem-solving part of the technical job interview? Can you actually prepare for every possible problem? 아니, you can’t. But remember that the purpose is not to trick you, or make you feel stupid. The interviewers just want to see how you approach problems. So it’s important for you to start by clarifying the question, and then clearly explaining your solution.

오늘 대화에서, we’ll hear a software developer named Kevin, who’s doing a technical interview for a new job. Kevin not only has to face questions about his experience, but he also has to explain a solution to a technical problem. He’s being interviewed by Mick. We’ll hear how Kevin navigates the interview.
