YouTube video

Bem-vindo de volta ao Skills 360 para a lição de hoje sobre como se preparar para uma interview in English.

Quando digo "prepare,” I’m not talking about making an appointment at the hair salon or picking out a clean shirt. Estou falando de fazer alguma pesquisa, antecipando o que você será solicitado, e praticando como responder. Sim, Eu sei que estou sempre falando sobre preparação, mas desta vez não é apenas uma sugestão, é essencial. Se você fizer certo, você poderá entrar na entrevista se sentindo relaxado e confiante. E isso aumentará suas chances de conseguir o emprego.

Agora aqui está a coisa: a maioria das entrevistas cobre o mesmo território básico. Certo, você pode ter algumas bolas curvas, mas na maioria das vezes você pode prever quais perguntas serão feitas. E isso significa que você pode planejar suas respostas. Não quero dizer que você escreveu suas respostas. É muito difícil parecer autêntico e natural enquanto fornece uma resposta memorizada. Mas você pode delinear suas respostas e praticar sua entrega.

Então, como vamos fazer isso? Well, vamos começar falando sobre como se apresentar em um entrevista de emprego em inglês. The old “tell me about yourselfquestion. É incrível quantas pessoas são atraídas por essa pergunta, ou se atrapalhar com uma resposta estranha enquanto esperam pelas perguntas reais da entrevista. Mas as primeiras impressões são importantes! And you need a good answer for “tell me about yourself.

BEP 343 – Interview English: Segunda rodada de entrevista comportamental

BEP 343 - English Interviews: 2nd Round Behavioral Interview in English

Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on second round interviews in English.

You may know all about the basic Perguntas da entrevista de emprego em inglês. 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.

In many cases, 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. In this way, they can find out whether you have the right attitude, abordagem, 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. In many cases, 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 Entrevista em inglês, you have to be careful, because some interviewers will try to give you leading questions to get you to reveal mistakes or problems.

In today’s dialog, 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.

Listening Questions

1. What example does Kat give of how she showed leadership and went above and beyond?
2. What situation does Kat describe in response to a question about an unpopular decision?
3. What attitude or attribute does Kat demonstrate when describing a situation of conflict?
