Se sostenere un colloquio di lavoro è generalmente stressante, affrontarlo in inglese può diventare motivo di ulteriore tensione e insicurezza.
Se ci si auto certifica un livello di inglese alto e non si è in grado di sostenere una conversazione disinvolta, qualsiasi altra informazione riportata sul curriculum potrebbe perdere di valore.
Di solito, le domande che mettono angoscia in una English job interview sono:
- Saprò capire le domande?
- Capiranno le mie risposte?
- E se non riesco a spiegare ciò che intendo dire?
Bisogna, quindi, prepararsi e cercare di sostenere questa potenziale opportunità lavorativa con tranquillità e sicurezza.
Regola fondamentale: Be positive, think positive and speak positively!…..and smile :)
