Online Class Notes (Ally)[S]

Have you ever attended a job interview? For some people they can be a painful and embarrassing experience, but for others, it can be a chance to shine – a platform to perform and show off their talents. But sometimes, even for the most confident candidates, things don’t go to plan and the interviewee is left feeling they’d wish they had never stepped foot in the room!

The interview is a necessary part of the recruitment process, and if carried out fairly, can be a good way to select the ideal person to fill a position in a company. This can be done by just asking questions or by carrying out other tasks that test someone’s competencies. It’s also a chance for the interviewee to ask questions and get a feel for their potential new employer.

Pronunciation

talents
platform to perfom: pronounce the “r” sounds more
competencies: strong sound is “comp”
discrimination: dis-cri-mi-na-tion
chance: not “chence”

Watch your intonation; don’t always go upwards.
