Job Interviewing: A template and exercise for creating a professional profile in English
6 years agoHow do you feel when you think about having an interview in English? Are you nervous, excited, unsure, or confident?
Many of my students, from different countries, have told me that they are afraid that the interviewer will ask them a question that they do not have the vocabulary to answer correctly. Or that they will not understand the questions. Those are really valid concerns. As a result, I designed a simple template for my students to create a professional profile in English and practice general questions that may be asked during the interview. During our lessons, we get into specific details related to their educational and professional background and the position they are applying for.
I have received really positive feedback about the template and would like to share it here:
