In today's programme Simon and Jean invite our students to sit in our special 'Hot Seat' to practise interview skills. Think about a job you would like to do. Then imagine you are in the hot seat and answer these questions. Try to speak in English for two minutes in response to each question.

'Tell us why you would be an ideal⁴ candidate⁵ 候选人，竞聘者 for this job.'

'Can you tell me about a time when you were involved in a successful project? How was it a success and what was your role in it?'
