Before you take your IELTS speaking exam don’t you think it would be a a good idea to know what the examiners are looking for? What’s the difference between a band 5 and a band 6 ? What do you have to do to get a band 7 ? Why do some people get band 8? What’s the difference between a 7 and 8, or the difference between 8 and 9?

Hi, I'm Anatoly here and today I'd like to talk about vague language in an interview. 

So what is vague language? 

When you're trying to communicate something to an interviewer and you use vague terms like I'd like to help the company achieve its goals, I like this industry overall. Or this position is very exciting. 

Can you hear that there's no specificity when it comes to showing exactly that you've thought about an issue, showing the recruiter that you've gone through their website, you've looked at their products, you've considered their mission and vision and maybe you've seen their market share or the size of the company or if you've dug a little deeper. 

Maybe you've seen some reviews from people who work there, like on Glassdoor, right? 

Because you want to come into an interview from the perspective of being an employee. What does that mean? It's knowing enough so that when they're communicating with you, they feel like you're one of them.

And when they feel that you are one of them, what happens? They start to, well, it starts to diminish the doubt in them or they start to have less and less doubt about you because they are like, well, he or she is one of us. They communicate as if they know exactly who we are or they use the vocabulary that we use or they are aligned with our mission.

Enjoy the rest of the podcast and let me know how valuable it is to you.

Why study English in London

Los idiomas están vivos, y son capaces de adaptarse a las diferentes épocas. Eso hace que muchas palabras se dejen de usar, cambien su significado para hacer referencia a algo más específico y/o relevante, y otras veces da lugar a que se creen nuevas palabras debido a la necesidad de nombrar conceptos o cosas nuevas. 

En este episodio hablo de palabras que, según un artículo que la mayoría de los jóvenes no entendería, ya que son de uso cada vez menos común, a pesar de que yo conozca, e incluso use, muchas de ellas. ¿Quieres saber de que palabras te hablo?

Después de escuchar el episodio no te olvides de pasarte por mi Instagram y decirme que te ha parecido, y…. si tú habías escuchado alguna de las palabras que menciono.
