Hello, my name is Jared.
-
Today we're going to look at tips for job interviews in English.
-
First, practice.
-
You only get a few minutes to impress the interview panel, so make sure that you practice the answers to common interview questions.
-
Ask a friend to play the role of interviewer.
-
Answer the questions and get some feedback from your friend.
-
Try again until you are happy with your responses.
-
Next, make sure that you research the company you are applying to.
-
If you know someone who already works there, maybe you can ask them about working for the company.
-
If you don't know anyone, you can do some online research to find out what kind of company they are.
-
Also, research the latest developments in the relevant business area.
-
This sort of information will really impress the interviewers and also show that you have initiative.
-
Our next tip is to look the part.
-
Appearances do matter in a job interview.
-
It is important that you look smart and professional.
-
Make sure your clothes are appropriate.
-
First appearances are important.
-
Make sure that you smile and make eye contact with the interviewers.
-
Don't forget to speak clearly and not too fast.
-
Give yourself time to think about your responses.
-
Lastly, don't forget to ask questions, too.
-
This shows that you're genuinely interested in the position and the company.
-
Do ask questions about professional development and career prospects, for example.
