Job interviews are a scary prospect, let alone if in your second language. Don't fret, with these helpful tips provided by teacher Caroline, you'll be able to smash your upcoming interview in English with confidence.
I would be great at answering the silly questions.
How many balloons fit into a room? With an average interview room I would say 1.000.000. 100 in a plastic bag. 100 bags in a box. 100 boxes in the room. More or less. It would be less if they were filled with air, but that was not a given and I want to fit as many as possible.
Describe a piece of paper: Very thin but 1000 times more long and wide instrument of communication. Works without electric power. Most of them are white. You can communicate with it, by using a pen and writing. Also good for transporting images (photos, drawings). Most of them are white and out of plant fibres and chemicals. Non electronic books are made of them.
Hippo into a fridge: Get a huge fridge and a hippo. Open the fridge, put in the hippo, close the fridge. Getting the hippo would be difficult though. For that one would need more instructions.
Hi Gary.
An interesting point! I'd say during most of my recruitment experience I rarely found this to be the case, however I'm sure it does happen. What would be your advice to a candidate if this were to happen?
I would suggest that if the interview differs wildly from the job description, you might want to reconsider what you are applying for and whether the role they are presenting is truly what you are looking for.
If there are huge surprises in the job interview, I'd also be asking questions about communication within the company, who sets targets (HR or managers) and whether the accountabilities on the JD are a good representation of the actual role.
Have a great day!
Caroline
