Unit 1A (2nd part): Job Interviews

 Apart from grammar, in this lesson they deal with job interviews, which is something very important for your own future. Let's see some videos related with this:

• How to Prepare a Job Interview: a short but really interesting video about your performance in a job interview. We'll work with this video in class but if you want to review it you can click here.
• Top 10 Job Interview Questions: quite easy and a bit repetitive but useful as well. Pay attention to the vocabulary connected to job interviews such as weaknesses and strengths, detail-oriented, to overcome a challenge, career goals,, etc. Click here for the video.

Another useful thing we should do is to review the vocbulary related to work and job-seeking so you can go to this link to start with and then you have this one, which is longer and with translation into Spanish; the problem is they don't distinguish between formal and informal English and the translations are rather scarce. If you want to improve your vocabulary and your spelling, do to this exercise.

We'll practise in class with these questions and we'll simulate a job interview by playing the roles of interviewer and interviwee and swapping roles. Nevertheless, if you want to practise more, you could do it with another mate by using the MEET link in Classroom or just by recording yourself while answering the typical questions in an interview. Remember that the more you practise, the better you'll do it. 

This other exercise is a listening comprehension but I'm afraid is not very natural as a model but it's worth a try in the end: click here. If you want to have a higher level of listening comprenhension, go to this video in which you'll learn how to face the typical trick questions or problems in a job interview: click here.

Just to finish awith, remember you can find many examples and tips for job interviews, so surf on the Internet and you'll find very good ones like this one: it's not  for learning English but it gives you clues about what to say: click here
