Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on second round İngilizce röportajlar.
You may know all about the basic İngilizce iş görüşmesi soruları. 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.
Çoğu durumda, 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. Böylece, they can find out whether you have the right attitude, yaklaşmak, 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. Çoğu durumda, 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 İngilizce röportaj, you have to be careful, because some interviewers will try to give you leading questions to get you to reveal mistakes or problems.
