so tell me about yourself is probably one of the most difficult questions to answer.

Modal verbs - A2

What we have to do is talk about ourselves but first impressions of very, very important in a job interview.

And that's why everybody finds this so difficult.

So today I'm going to give you the perfect method for answering this question.

Next time you have a job interview, let's go.

It's me, your British pronunciation Coach Elliott from E.

Now, today we're actually doing something a little bit different to pronunciation.

We're going to be focusing on job interviews, specifically that dreaded question.

It's quite a difficult question to answer because there are so many different things we could say.

We could tell them that we like long walks on the beach.

We like playing with our dog, but that's not what they want to hear.

This is how you sell yourself, so make sure you do it right now.

This is a method I've seen people I've interview for job positions use, and it's also a technique I've used when I've answered this question in job interviews in the past before I started e T j English.

So if I abbreviated all of the steps into one word, it would say hanker hanker which doesn't really work unless that works for you.

Maybe you can remember that usually all of these kind of instructional videos come with some kind of amazing word which you can remember.

I'm just going to tell you the different steps on Find your own way of remembering them.

Eso Step one is h How how did you get here?

How have you achieved the opportunity to get to this interview on DSO?

Start here too is achieve What have you achieved?

What achievements have you made that would be valuable during this time that you were building to get to this job position.

So achievements, things you have achieved M motivation.

What has motivated you in the past on what is motivating you now that could benefit the company in the future.

Yes, Kill I like to use this because it's the final blow.

You could even say, Knock out, kill or knock out.

Just don't bring any knives or guns with you to the interview.

And you probably wouldn't get the job, summarize everything and kill them by showing them why you are the best person for this job.

All the things that you've just said are now leading up to this final position of telling them why you're perfect for the job.

Let's start with step one and we're going to build a sample.

Let's say you're applying for a sales job.

So a job in sales just start by simply saying, Well, I've been working in sales for about five years now.

Just tell them how you got here, how it all began, right?

Well, I've been working in sales for about five years now.

Okay, so you're showing on overview of the experience you've had.

You might have also noticed I started with the word Well, well is a great friendly way to start, so well, I've been working in sales.

If you just immediately say I've been working in sales, it can sound quite aggressive.

So when you use that word well, at the beginning, it kind of introduces what you're going to talk about on.

It's a nice formal filler words that you can use to begin.

Now, let's say you have no job experience.

You could say, Well, I've been studying law for however many years.

Well, I've been taking a course to become a personal trainer over the past, however many years.

So just think about what has led you to this position.

Include the years or the time that you spent studying or working in a related job role or your previous role or learning experience?

That's all you need to do for the first step.

Now you need to link it with second step, which is achievements.

So the best way to start this is over this time or during this time.

Now, when I say achievements, I don't just mean achievements, as in winning an award or something like that.

But what else have you achieved mentally?

And during this time, I've built a great deal of leadership skills, people, skills on overall.

Generally, I've just built a lot of confidence.

Now you could mention on awards you've won, so you could say the highlight Waas when I was promoted.

Or the highlight was when I won the award for best Salesman of the Year.

So it's good to include a little award or a special achievement.

Maybe your shop that you worked in won a special award of all the other shops in the area or something like that.

So always try and include some kind of achievement if you have one.

But if not, just talk a little bit more about those leadership skills, the confidence you've built on other special traits, which would be useful to the person interviewing you.

You want to show them how motivated you are to achieve goals, reach targets on.

I'm always looking to improve both professionally on personally by surrounding myself with successful people and making sure I'm always meeting my targets, which had been set by my manager.

What we're showing is that you are a motivated person.

You want to meet those targets that your manager gives you.

You want to reach those goals that they set you no matter how hard they are?

You're also showing that you want to improve yourself on a job like this could help you improve yourself.

You've already built a lot of skills which you mentioned earlier, but you're still looking to grow.

You're still looking to become better on.

Finally, you want to kill them, knock them out, finished them off.

This is where you complete the process and you sell yourself.

So working for this company, which has such a good reputation.

So, working for this company, make sure you use the word.

So because what you're doing now is finalizing all of these things you've just mentioned there now leading to this final moment.
