Hello, in this episode I say more about OET (Occupational English Test) which I mentioned in my previous episode. This is the English test that healthcare professionals need to be able to work in the UK, America, Canada, Australia, etc. In future episodes I wil talk about the different sections, writing and speaking. If you have any qs, you can message me on italki and I will be happy to answer them.

 Kev's English Podcast: Episode 18 Introduction to OET



Align with Job Description: Questions should target specific competencies identified in the job description.
Use Action Verbs: Focus on actions taken (e.g., "developed," "implemented," "negotiated").
Focus on Specific Situations: Prompt for concrete examples, avoiding vague inquiries like "Tell me about a time you worked under pressure." Instead, ask, "Describe a situation where a tight deadline required prioritizing tasks effectively."
The STAR Method:

The STAR method provides a framework for candidates to structure their responses to behavioral questions:

Situation: Briefly describe the context and challenges faced.
Task: Explain your specific role and responsibilities in the situation.
Action: Detail the specific actions you took to address the challenge.
Result: Describe the outcome of your actions, quantifying achievements if possible.
Beyond Technical Skills:

Behavioral interviewing goes beyond technical skills, offering insights into:

Problem-Solving Approach: Explore how the candidate tackled challenges, revealing their thought process and analytical abilities.

Communication Style: Pay attention to clarity, conciseness, and ability to articulate ideas effectively.
Work Style: Understand if the candidate thrives in independent or collaborative environments.
Benefits and Best Practices:

Reduced Bias: Focusing on past actions minimizes the influence of unconscious bias based on appearance or background.

Increased Predictability: Understanding past performance in similar situations improves the likelihood of future success.

Deeper Candidate Evaluation: Behavioral questions move beyond a resume, revealing a more holistic picture of the candidate's capabilities.

Best practices:

Develop a set of behavioral questions for each role to ensure consistency.

Pay close attention to the candidate's use of the STAR method and probe for further details.

Evaluate responses across candidates using a consistent scoring rubric.

おはようございます！Atsushiです。
今日の北海道の天気は曇りです。
気温は、22℃です。
日が照っていないので、少し肌寒く感じます。

さて、今日は、移動手段について。
どこかへ行く時の方法のことですね。

みなさんは生活で移動する時、何を使いますか？
歩きますか？
自転車ですか？
電車ですか？
バスですか？
車ですか？
バイクですか？

日本ではいろんな移動手段がありますが、一般的に多いのは、電車や車だと思います。

東京や大阪、それに続く大きな都市では、基本的に電車を使うことが多いです。休みの日は車を使う、という人が多いかもしれません。ですが、住む場所によっては、電車よりも車の方が便利な場所も多いです。

例えば、地方や、電車が少ない場所など、ですね。

私は、
大阪に住んでいる時は、ほとんど電車で移動していました。
岡山や、鳥取では、ほとんど車で移動していました。
今住んでいる北海道では、車で移動しています。

北海道では電車の値段が高いと思います。
車で移動した方が1回の移動は安くてすみますし、旅行などで遠くへ行く時も便利です。

今は夏なので良いですが、北海道の冬は雪が積もるので、きっと大変だと思います。

また冬に車の話をしますね！


はい、ということで、今日も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
