1. Interviewer: What type of position are you looking for?
Candidate: I'm interested in an entry level (beginning) position.
Candidate: I'm looking for a position in which I can utilize my experience.
Candidate: I would like any position for which I qualify.
Comment: You should be willing to take an entry level position in an English
speaking company as most of these companies expect non-nationals to begin with such
a position. In the United States, most companies provide many opportunities for
growth, so don't be afraid to start from the beginning!
2. Interviewer: Are you interested in a full-time or part-time position?
Candidate: I am more interested in a full-time position. However, I would also
consider a part-time position.
Comment: Make sure to leave open as many possibilities as possible. Say you are
willing to take any job, once the job has been offered you can always refuse if the job
does not appeal (not interest) to you.
3. Interviewer: Can you tell me about your responsibilities at your last job?
Candidate: I advised customers on financial matters. After I consulted the
customer, I completed a customer inquiry form and catalogued the information in our
database. I then collaborated with colleagues to prepare the best possible package for
the client. The clients were then presented with a summarized report on their financial
activities that I formulated on a quarterly basis.
Comment: Notice the amount of detail necessary when you are talking about your
experience. One of the most common mistakes made by foreigners when discussing their
former employment is to speak too generally. The employer wants to know exactly what
you did and how you did it; the more detail you can give, the more the interviewer
knows that you understand the type of work. Remember to vary your vocabulary when
talking about your responsibilities. Also do not begin every sentence with "I". Use the
passive voice, or an introductory clause to help you add variety to your presentation.
4. Interviewer: When can you begin?
Candidate: Immediately.
Candidate: As soon as you would like me to begin.
Comment: Show your willingness to work!
The above questions represent some of the most basic questions asked on any job
interview in English. Probably the most important aspect of interviewing in English is
giving detail. As a speaker of English as a second language, you might be shy about
saying complicated things. However, this is absolutely necessary as the employer is
looking for an employee who knows his or her job. If you provide detail, the
interviewer will know that you feel comfortable in that job. Don't worry about making
mistakes in English. It is much better to make simple grammar mistakes and provide
