Show Notes
This episode is the second in a 4-part series about English for work and business. From CVs, and job interviews, to phone and email English, chatting to clients, customers, and colleagues, we’ll be looking at lots of different areas over these 4 episodes. There will also be all the usual vocabulary, grammar, listening practice, and lots more.
This week I talked to Sarah about job interviews. Doing a job interview in your own language can be difficult enough, but doing one in a foreign language can be a nerve-wracking experience! So, Sarah and I have 7 tips to help you out.
Along the way, there will be lots of vocabulary, idioms, phrasal verbs and other expressions. In the grammar section, we’ll be focusing on the modal verb “should”.
All the material, including today’s 7 tips, is on the website: everestlanguageschool.com/podcast
