Have you ever applied for a job in a multinational company? Or simply the job you want requires a high level of English? In these cases, it is most likely that part of your interview (or the entire one) will take place in this language.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"margin-bottom: 2rem; margin-top: 2rem; background: #F4F4F4;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: 600; margin-bottom: 0px; color: #fff; background: #FF6868;\">\u00cdNDICE DE CONTENIDOS<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#prepare\">Prepare your interview<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#search\">Search for specific vocabulary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#please\">Please, do not do that!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Naturally, if you are bilingual, surely this is not a problem for you,. However,\u00a0 if you belong to a large percentage of Spanish with a <strong>&#8220;medium-high English level&#8221;<\/strong>, we will help you to arrive more relaxed at your interview work in English with tips, tricks, and question-answer models.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"prepare\">Prepare your interview<\/h2>\n<p>The first step, whether it is an English or Spanish interview, is preparation. <strong>It is mandatory to know what we are dealing with. <\/strong>For example: \u00a0In which sector is the company operating? What job position are they offering? What is the profile of the candidates you are asking for? Once you know how to answer these possible questions in your language, the best thing you can do is <strong>prepare a \u201cvocabulary list\u201d<\/strong> with the specific words of your position, profile, and work sector since they will surely be the ones used in the interview, it will always be better to prevent yourself from finding that you do not understand some of the words of the questions in your personal interview.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"search\">Search for specific vocabulary<\/h2>\n<p>When you think you are sure you know the specific vocabulary of your interview in English, it would be a good idea to start\u00a0<strong>preparing the most common questions<\/strong>\u00a0of a typical personal interview now, so that you know what each one means.\u00a0Here we recommend a list of questions from the most common job interviews:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tell me about yourself<br \/>\nCu\u00e9ntame algo acerca de ti.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can prepare this question with experiences related to the position you are applying for, avoiding not focusing on the personal terrain.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What are your strengths?<br \/>\n\u00bfCu\u00e1les son tus puntos fuertes?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This possible\u00a0<strong>question should be prepared with some ease for the personal interview<\/strong>, detailing your qualities accompanying it with some type of anecdote that exemplifies them, because probably the reply to your answer requires you in some way to mention an example.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is your weakness?<br \/>\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l es tu mayor debilidad?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is not a trick question, but one that requires some skill in the dialogue, therefore,\u00a0<strong>respond with a quality that, although bad, seems positive<\/strong>.\u00a0The classic and effective answer in job interviews is usually &#8221;\u00a0I&#8217;m a bit of a perfectionist&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why have you been unemployed for such a long time?<br \/>\n\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 has estado desempleado tanto tiempo?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This question\u00a0<strong>requires a lot of concentration on your part<\/strong> when answering, therefore you should try to fill in all the blanks, in such a way that you show confidence in yourself and give the impression of activity: count the courses you have done, the work you have done sporadically if you have a blog, bring it up &#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What do you know about the type of work we do?<br \/>\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 sabes acerca del tipo de trabajo que hacemos?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We come to a very interesting moment of the job interview so you\u00a0<strong>should show off<\/strong>, narrate your experiences in similar positions, otherwise, you can talk about your specific training in that area, etc.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why do you think you would do well at this job?<br \/>\n\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 piensas que podr\u00edas hacer bien este trabajo?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, it\u00a0<strong>is the ideal time to bring out your qualities, experience, training, and everything that you think can give you more points<\/strong> when accessing the position.\u00a0Keep in mind that the competition is increasing, so candidates have to thoroughly prepare for the interview to pass it satisfactorily.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"please\">Please, do not do that!<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, <strong>being late<\/strong> for the interview under no excuse.\u00a0Punctuality is of vital importance for the employer and being late can be and in fact, it is, enough to run out of options in the job selection process.<\/p>\n<h3>Not adapting the profile to the required position<\/h3>\n<p>To be successful in the job interview, it is essential to know the company that is conducting the interview, the job it offers and the tasks that this job requires.\u00a0Therefore, you\u00a0<strong>must enhance the skills and aptitudes that are best adapted<\/strong>\u00a0to the specific position for which you are opting.\u00a0In this sense, it is not enough to present an interesting CV.<\/p>\n<h3>Not being prepared for conflicting questions<\/h3>\n<p>It is common in job interviews to\u00a0<strong>repeat a series of questions that naturally the candidate must have prepared<\/strong>\u00a0to give the appropriate answer.\u00a0The normal thing is that they guide about academic training, professional experience or languages, but also about more personal aspects: the causes of interest in the position, the reasons why your relationship with your last company ended, salary and future expectations, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In these cases, you have to <strong>face the answers with calm, security, sincerity, and a point of humility<\/strong>, but enhancing your own abilities.<\/p>\n<h3>Finally, avoid badmouthing your previous position, company, colleagues, or bosses<\/h3>\n<p>It is one of the most recurrent outings when the interviewee must explain the reasons why they did not continue in their last job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You cannot use degrading language when referring to former colleagues, company, or boss<\/strong>.\u00a0Reasons should be given, avoid disqualifications and excuses.\u00a0Do not appear as a conflictive worker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Always remember<\/strong>, hostile language is enemy number one of interview success.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto
