Hello, welcome back to my slow English podcast, a podcast for English intermediate listeners.
Today, I want to practice some common job interview vocabulary.
Some different phrases you might need at a job interview.
A story about my experience with job interviews.
I always keep my resume up to date.
Any new qualifications or experience or employment positions I add to my CV resume right away.
I never hand in an old resume.
How often do you update your resume?
How important is it for you to keep your resume up to date.
I have worked in a few different areas.
Education, translation and transcription.
But mostly, I have only ever been an English teacher.
I have only ever had part-time jobs.
I have never had a full-time job.
Do you have a few part-time jobs or one full-time job?
I prefer part-time jobs because my schedule needs to be flexible.
I travel a lot, so I need to manage and change my schedule a lot.
The different time zones in the world can be difficult to manage with a full-time job.
I think one of my biggest skills are my social skills.
It's one of my greatest strengths to be able to communicate very well with others.
What are some of your greatest strengths?
What are some of your skills?
Some weaknesses of mine, however, is the idea that I can do everything in one moment.
I can't manage my time.
And I sometimes don't sleep or rest.
And I end up feeling overworked and tired.
Now, I try to limit myself. so that I don't end up feeling overworked and tired.
What do you consider to be your weaknesses?
Have you ever ended up feeling overworked and exhausted?
It feels nice to be hired.
For someone to say, you're hired, is nice.
But, just as it feels nice to be hired, it feels really bad to be fired.
I got fired one year ago, and it was awful.
I felt so lost, and I felt like a failure.
But it's important to remember that whether you're hired or fired, you are not a failure.
Success is a feeling you can give yourself.
You define your own success.
Not a company, not a paycheck, not money, not anybody but yourself.
Have you ever been fired before?
How did it feel?
And what did you do to feel better?
Tell me about your dream job.
