• Awesome! Then I\'ll start working two years from now.

Hi, everybody! I am Georgiana, your English teacher and founder of\\xa0SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help you speak English fluently.\\xa0

Today I want to talk about some stories that occurred in a job interview. I think it will be fun. I will also tell you how you can prepare for a job interview in 2 weeks or less.

Later, you\'ll practice\\xa0grammar\\xa0with a Point of View Story.

Let\\u2019s say you\\u2019re looking for a job.\\xa0

You have a degree, a master or an impressive background, and you are a real professional.\\xa0

One day,

A call. It\'s a company that wants to interview you.\\xa0

You\'re excited! On the day of the interview, you prepare yourself: you get a nice haircut, dress properly, you are a bit nervous but focused, and\\xa0the\\xa0interview\\xa0begins in English.

You didn\'t see that coming. All your preparation, degrees, masters, background don\'t seem relevant anymore.

Here\'s the harsh truth:\\xa0Not having interview skills in English will prevent you from getting the job of your life.\\xa0

However, there\'s good news.

If you already know some English, preparing for a job interview\'s easy, and you don\'t need too much time.

At the end of the lesson, I\'ll tell you how you can\\xa0prepare for a job interview in only two weeks or less.

Okay, let\'s listen to some stories that happened in job interviews.

1) Let\'s start with the first one:

"In the interview, they asked me, "where do you see yourself in five years", and I answered, \'not here.\'\\xa0They never called me back."

In this case he was right. In five years, he wouldn\'t work there because they never called him back.

2) The next one:

"After undergoing three interviews for the position, I was introduced to\\xa0my new boss, who happened to be the father of my ex.\\xa0Despite being very worried, we ended up becoming good friends even more so than when I was dating his daughter."

What a small world! In this case, the interview could have ended very badly, but we can safely say that this guy was very lucky.

3) Let\'s continue with the next one, which is very interesting.

"The interviewer started looking at me with a puzzled face, and the first thing he\\xa0asked me was if I could prove all the experience described in my CV.\\xa0I told him that I had no experience at all\\xa0since I had just finished my studies. He showed me the CV, and to my amazement,\\xa0it was my dad\'s!"

What a coincidence! For some reason, the interviewer had his father\'s CV. Maybe the father sent a CV to the same company.
