BE360 Tips for your First Job Interview: Experience

Today, we’re launching a new podcast: Business Skills 360.

Free Resources: Transcript¹ | Game & Quiz

Business Skills 360 will focus on the soft skills essential to your success in business. The BusinessEnglish360.com website is also a social networking platform for people who want to find other students or teachers to practice speaking English – think of it as Facebook for Business English.

Appropriately enough, we’re doing this first series on another kind of first: your first job interview. The biggest question about first job interviews relates to experience. How do I show I’m right for the job when I have little or no work experience? What am I supposed to talk about? Even if it’s not your first job interview, you might run into the same difficulty. Perhaps you’re changing careers or transitioning into a new aspect of business. The question remains²: How do I relate what I’ve done to what they want, even if it’s not directly related?
Visit the Business Skills360 website to read and download a free transcript for this lesson. You can also play a game to check you’ve understood the main points of the lesson.

BusinessEnglish360 is a community for people who want to improve their Business English. Find online practice partners in our Study Buddies³ group and expert English teachers to boost your skills.
