We offer you a series of recommendations to prepare selection processes in English.
The selection processes in English have similarities with normal interviews, but they require specific preparation aimed at the language itself, with the obvious fact that you must have a good level of it. If your English speaking ability is poor, you better give up before wasting your time.
On some occasions it may happen that when you go to an interview you do not fall into the possibility that it will be entirely in English. The important thing is to always be prepared to face it and prepare it thoroughly, studying and rehearsing some common elements.
As in any interview, you must address in advance aspects of the company offering the job, such as those related to its history, its work environment, its main clients or the products or services it offers. Mastering these questions is a sign of interest and you can prepare them with specific words in English that give you a plus over the rest of the candidates.
They will also ask you about yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, your work experience and your interest in the company. These are common questions that you can prepare for in advance and in which you can give added value to your answers, avoiding simple language and using "phrasal verbs", as well as specific vocabulary of the labor sector where the company operates. In addition, you can "decorate" your story, always from the point of view of seriousness and non-inventions, with a different speech that attracts the receiver's attention and generates empathy.
Studying and preparing ahead of time is a crucial part of an interview. The meeting with the interlocutor is decisive, but without the previous work period we will go practically unnoticed and only a correct level of English will be demonstrated. You need to make a difference both in the language and in the knowledge of the company and the sector, as well as adapt your online experience to the job in demand.
Watch your pronunciation, rehearse a speech at home and ask for help from someone with command of the language who can correct you and serve as a mock interview example.
