Job Interviews-
So many Business English students come to me looking for help as they frantically prepare for a job interview. The bottom line is that regardless of a business professional's level of English, he or she can market himself or herself successfully by focussing on the positive.
It is easy to fall into the trap of talking more about weaknesses rather than strengths. If you notice that the interviewer is taking you in a negative direction with regard to his or her questions, try to diffuse the issue with politically correct language.
Let's take the sample question, ' Why did you leave your last job?'. First of all, breath deeply and don't feel intimidated by this question.
It's not a personal attack! A large number of companies ask this question day in and day out. Here are some answers you want to avoid:
1) My last employer is in trouble and I was laid off. 2) I quit because I was being overworked and underpaid. Why not try to take these last two examples to a level of political correctness. Instead of saying that your last employer is in trouble and that you were laid off, why not say that your previous employer is currently undergoing a period of downsizing. For the second one you could say that the reason for leaving your last employer was a career decision in which you aimed to offer your services and experience to new companies like the one you are being interviewed for.
