Job Interview: I Want to Learn (ESL)

This example of a good job interview uses common interview questions and English conversation that is basic enough for intermediate English Language Learners to follow, with or without captions.

I used this video in my low level ESL class. I typed out the script so they could go over the script and practice it. It was a PERFECT video. Thanks so much!

[eslcitznj]

Thank you so much! It's so hard to find normal, comprehensible ESL videos with correct subtitles! This is wonderful!!

[janicedexter-ganek]

Fantastic interview example! It demonstrates so many positive interview skills: talking about transferable skills, promotions and awards received, and the importance of having a question or questions to ask as well as being familiar with the employer and their reputation. Thanks so much!

I WANT TO LEARN
Susan T. Mary? Hi I'm Susan Thompson, the human resource manager here.
Mary H. Hi, I'm Mary Hanson and I'm applying for one of your kitchen jobs.
S. Great.
M. Here's a copy of my resume.
S. Have a seat, Mary.
M. Thank you.
S. Do you have any experience working in the kitchen?
M. No, but I want to learn. I work hard and I cook a lot at home.
S. OK, well, Tell me about yourself.
M. Well, I love to learn new things. I'm very organized. And I follow directions exactly. That's why my boss at my last job made me a trainer and the company actually gave me a special Certificate for coming to work on time every day for a year. And I'm taking an English class to improve my writing skills.
S. That's great. Why did you leave your last job?
M. It was graveyard and I need to work days.
S. I see. What hours can you work?
M. Um, from 8 AM until 5 PM.
S. OK, well, do you have any questions for me Mary?
M. Yes, what kind of training is needed?
S. Not a lot. Most new workers can learn everything the first day.
Do you have any other questions?
M. No I don't think so. But I've heard a lot of good things about your company. And I would really like to work here.
S. Well, I have a few more interviews to do today. But I will call you tomorrow if you get the job. It was sure nice to meet you.
M. Nice meeting you too.
Thank you so much for your time.
S. Yes, good luck.
Thank you.

In my opinion the best way to learn any languages is listen anything then you repeat in your way what you learn this way benifit me a lot or i take a sentenses in your native languges after you essay to another languages these ways help your mind to work essay remember lost words

[jmarksproul]

Thank you so much! This was perfect for my Level 3, (of 12), students: the right length, the basic necessary info and Sociolinguistic dynamics, courtesy formulas, appropriate answers and behaviours. We did personality traits, work history, skills, resume and interview practise - your video was part of the final assessment, and because of the subtitles, (listening assistance), we used your transcript to test reading skills! More please.
