[] Intro
Kia ora! Welcome back to the Kiwi English Booster. This is Episode 25, and today we are preparing for a job interview. The first question is almost always 'tell me about yourself.' It's your chance to make a great first impression. Let's listen to the conversation.
[] Conversation
Interviewer: Kia ora, thanks for coming in today. Please, take a seat. Candidate: Kia ora, thanks for having me. It's great to be here. Interviewer: So, to kick things off, could you tell us a little bit about yourself? Candidate: Sure. I've been working in marketing for the past five years. My background is mainly in digital campaigns, and I specialize in social media strategy. Interviewer: That sounds really relevant. What interests you about our company? Candidate: I've always admired your innovative projects, and I'm looking for a new challenge where I can really make an impact. I believe my skills make me a great fit for this role. Interviewer: Awesome. Well, let's dive into some of your previous experience, shall we?
[] Explains
That was a very strong start to an interview! Let's break down the vocabulary and the strategy. First, “kick things off” means “to start.” Second, Tell us a little bit about yourself. This is the core of your self-introduction. Remember, they don't want your whole life story. The core strategy here is to focus on your professional journey, your key achievements, and why you are the right person for the job. Keep it relevant and concise! Third, My background is in. A great, professional way to summarize your past experience. Fourth, I specialize in. Use this to highlight your specific area of expertise. Fifth, Looking for a new challenge. This is a very positive and motivated way to explain why you want to change jobs, rather than saying you were bored. Finally, A great fit. This shows confidence that your skills perfectly match what the company is looking for. Now let's hear the conversation again at a normal speed.
