Listen "Episode 198 Prepare For The Cultural Differences In English Interviews"
Episode Synopsis
This week we are finally completing our series on Interview English. You can find all of these episodes in the Business English Playlist.
This time we're talking about the etiquette and cultural expectations at interview. The most important thing I want you to understand is that having English as a second language is a strength and something you should be proud of.
Many native English speakers never learn a second language to the level you have already acquired if you're listening to this. So be proud of your achievement. If you can understand this video then you should DEFINITELY apply for that job! You have the added bonus of a wider cultural knowledge and being multi-lingual, these are very useful skills to your new bosses. So celebrate it!
I wish you all the best in your job search.
