Do you have a job interview coming up? Being prepared for your interview will help you give confident answers, particularly if English is not your first language.

Find out about the usual cultural preferences of the country where the job is as part of your preparation. The questions you may be asked at interview may be different to those you are used to being asked. The manner in which you should answer them could differ from your usual approach. For example, in some cultures 'selling yourself' in a job interview is seen as impolite or immodest.

Here are some useful expressions for the most common types of job interview questions you are likely to be asked in English-speaking countries.

1. Draw attention to your education and qualifications, or any formal training you may have received:

I graduated from (university/college etc) in (the year)...

I studied at (university/college)...

I got a diploma in.... and then went on to study...

I did a Management course in 2018 and this helped me to...

I am a qualified...

I have an IELTS certificate with a score of (number)...

2. Focus on your work experience and your career so far:

I worked for (company name) as a (job role)...

I worked in (sector) for (period of time)...

I was promoted to (job role)...

I was responsible for...

I am good at multi-tasking/working under pressure/working to a deadline...

My strengths are/my strength is communicating well/my ability to solve problems...

I have worked for several companies including....

I have .......years' experience in...

3. Describe your best features and what motivates you:

I am hardworking/ organised/decisive/patient/easy going/a team player/committed/focused/proactive and methodical.

I am proud of...

I perform well under pressure.

I am self-motivated.

I take pride in my work.

I'm good at problem-solving.

4. Use intensifiers to make stronger statements:

I am very organised and extremely focused.

I am really good at showing initiative/presenting information/problem-solving/controlling budgets/achieving objectives/motivating colleagues/meeting deadlines/creating ideas.

I have very good people skills/management skills/organisational skills.

5. Make sure you highlight your language skills:

I have effective communication skills in English, both verbally and in writing.

I've been using English in my professional life for the past ......years.

I've got a good grasp of the specialised English needed in this post/industry.

I've been working in an English-speaking environment for the past......years.

I'm a confident speaker of English/I feel comfortable speaking English.

6. Include any technical expertise or projects that might be relevant to the role:

I am very proud of (the last project I was involved in) because...

I have (say how many years) experience working in (the sector)...

I have worked in (sector) for...

I developed some important skills when I (what role or function did you do)...

7. If appropriate, talk about your background, where you are from, and where you grew up:

I was born in (country) and grew up in (country).

I relocated/moved to (country) when I was (age).

I speak (number) languages.

I currently live in (country/city/ town).

I currently live in (country/city) however I would consider relocating if the company required me to do so.

8. If you are asked questions that test your technical skills, the STAR approach will help keep you focused on your answer.

STAR stands for: Situation, Task, Action, Result. Here are some examples of expressions you can use with the STAR approach.

Situation:

When I worked for...I sold/set up/ created/implemented/controlled/managed/ designed...

A good example that comes to mind is...

I worked in the...department for (period of time) and had to manage/oversee/control/create/ liaise with/prepare/provide/organise/support/lead/review...

I have several years' experience in...

I have worked in (sector) for (period of time)...

As I mentioned earlier, I have a diploma in... and I am a qualified...

I perform well under pressure which was one of the main reasons why I was asked to...

Task:

As part of my role as a (job) I also had to (what)...

I was asked to...

Action:

Result:

I successfully managed/controlled/ created...

We won the contract/the tender/the award...

I was able to resolve the situation/find solutions/negotiate a better.../move from ....... to......

Even though it wasn't possible there was still a positive outcome.

Fortunately...

Finally...

I was able to turn the situation around.

By motivating/creating/implementing/showing initiative...

I was able to get the team back on track.

However, it was difficult/ it was a challenge because (we had limited resources).

10. It is always a good idea to give examples of how you use your skills in a work setting:

I was involved in several projects...

I have managed a large number of projects over the years....

I set up several new systems.

I was responsible for implementing the new safety measures...

This involved......

I was asked to....

It was challenging/difficult, however the end result was .... (something positive)...

I amvery/really proud of how well it turned out...

I am very proud of the end result.

We achieved the desired result/we achieved the result we wanted.

We achieved our aim.

11. You may be asked to talk about how you'd like to develop and where you see yourself in the future:

I would like to further my career, so opportunities for professional development would be important to me.

I would like to add to my skill set, so training would be important to me...

Training is very important to me because....

12. Some interviewers may want to know what other interests you have outside of work. Here are a few suggestions:

I like/love going to art galleries/museums...

I like/love playing football/tennis...

I watch a lot of...

I like to keep fit and active so I...

I am a volunteer for (organisation)...This organisation is responsible for...

The reason why I love/like...is because...

I play the piano/the guitar/the trumpet and my favourite musician/composer is...

Every weekend/summer/winter I go to...

13. Finally, ask the interviewer questions to find out if the job and the company is the right one for you. You could ask:

Where do you see the company in 5 years?

Can you describe the working culture of the organisation?

Can you tell me more about the team I would be working in?

What training programmes are available to your employees?

What do you enjoy most about working here?

When are you hoping for someone to fill this position?

What are the next steps in the interview process?

Good luck!

Present Simple Passive is used to talk about some actions that are performed in the present or repeatedly (habits), simple statements of fact or universal truth.

The agents of such actions may be denoted with ' by ':

Present Simple Passive structure

Let's compare active and passive structures in Present Simple.

via http://englishgu.ru/present-simple/

The Present Simple Active is formed like this:

[subject] + base form of the verb (in third person singular, we add '-s' to the verb)

To make statements with the Present Simple Passive, use:

am/is/are + the Past Participle form of the verb

Note: We use ' am' for first person singular (I), ' is' for third person singular and ' are ' for second singular and plural nouns and pronouns.

When to use Present Simple Passive

We use the Present Simple to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. In passive voice, we focus attention on the person or thing affected by the action, when the subject is unknown, unclear or irrelevant.

Compare:

They wash the floors every day. - The floors are washed every day.

He runs the company. - The company is run by him.

In these examples, the focus is on the effect of the action, it's not important who performs the action.

We use Present Simple Passive with the same meaning as Present Simple in the active voice except for the fact that Present Simple Passive makes focus on the effect (or the object) rather than the doer (the subject) of an action. Read more about the uses of Present Simple here.

Negative forms of Present Simple Passive

Making a negative Present Simple Passive form is easy. Just insert ' not ' between 'am', 'is' or 'are' and Past Participle (the contracted forms are 'isn't' and 'aren't').

Questions in Present Simple Passive

To make a question in Present Simple Passive, swap the subject and 'am', 'is' or 'are'. The structure for asking questions in Present Simple Passive is:
am/is/are + [subject] + Past Participle
To make a wh-question, insert a question word before 'am', 'is' or 'are':

A/an/the là những từ hết sức quen thuộc trong tiếng anh, chúng được gọi là mạo từ. Có 2 loại mạo từ: mạo từ không xác định và mạo từ xác định. Trong bài này chúng ta sẽ cùng tìm hiểu cách dùng a an the mạo từ trong câu nhé!

Mạo từ là những từ đứng trước danh từ, nhằm xác định danh từ đó là không xác định hay đã được xác định trong câu.

Trong tiếng Anh có 2 loại mạo từ chính:

- Mạo từ không xác định: a/an

Dùng " a" hoặc " an " trước một danh từ số ít đếm được. Chúng có nghĩa là một. Chúng được dùng trong câu có tính khái quát hoặc đề cập đến một chủ thể chưa được đề cập từ trước.

A ball is round (nghĩa chung, khái quát, chỉ tất cả các quả bóng): Quả bóng hình tròn

He has seen a girl (chúng ta không biết cậu bé nào, chưa được đề cập trước đó): Anh ấy vừa mới gặp một cô gái.

Quán từ "an " được dùng trước các từ bắt đầu bằng nguyên âm (trong cách phát âm, chứ không phải trong cách viết). Bao gồm:

Một số từ bắt đầu bằng "u": Ví dụ: an umbrella (một cái ô)

Một số từ bắt đầu bằng "h" câm: Ví dụ: an hour (một tiếng)

Các từ mở đầu bằng một chữ viết tắt: an S.O.S/ an M.P

*Dùng " " trước các từ bắt đầu bằng một phụ âm. Chúng bao gồm các chữ cái còn lại và một số trường hợp bắt đầu bằng " u, y, h ".

Ví dụ: A house (một ngôi nhà), a year (một năm), a uniform (một bộ đồng phục) ...

Ví dụ: I want to buy a dozen eggs. (Tôi muốn mua 1 tá trứng)

Ví dụ: My school has a thousand students (Trường của tối có một nghìn học sinh)

*Dùng trước " half" (một nửa) khi nó theo sau một đơn vị nguyên vẹn: a kilo hay a half, hay khi nó đi ghép với một danh từ khác để chỉ nửa phần (khi viết có dấu gạch nối): a half - share, a half - holiday ( ngày lễ chỉ nghỉ nửa ngày).

Ví dụ: My mother bought a half kilo of apples (Mẹ tôi mua nửa cân táo)

Ví dụ: I get up at a quarter past six (Tôi thức dậy lúc 6 giờ 15 phút)

Ví dụ: John goes to work four times a week (John đi làm 4 lần 1 tuần)

- Dùng " " trước một danh từ đã được xác định cụ thể về mặt tính chất, đặc điểm, vị trí hoặc đã được đề cập đến trước đó, hoặc những khái niệm phổ thông, ai cũng biết.

Ví dụ: The man next to Lin is my friend. (Cả người nói và người nghe đều biết đó là người đàn ông nào
Người đàn ông bên cạnh Lin là bạn của tôi.

The sun is big. (Chỉ có một mặt trời, ai cũng biết)

- Với danh từ không đếm được, dùng " the" nếu nói đến một vật cụ thể, không dùng " the " nếu nói chung.

Ví dụ: Chili is very hot (Chỉ các loại ớt nói chung): Ớt rất cay.

The chili on the table has been bought (Cụ thể là ớt ở trên bàn): Ớt ở trên bàn vừa mới được mua.

- Với danh từ đếm được số nhiều, khi chúng có nghĩa đại diện chung cho một lớp các vật cùng loại thì cũng không dùng "the ".

Ví dụ: Students should do homework before going to school (Học sinh nói chung)

The girl in uniform( cô gái mặc đồng phục), the Gulf of Mexico( Vịnh Mexico).

· Dùng trước những tính từ so sánh bậc nhất hoặc only: The only moment ( khoảnh khắc duy nhất), the best week ( tuần tốt lành nhất).

Ví dụ: The boy whom you have just met is my son. Cậu bé bạn vừa nói chuyện là con trai tôi

Đối với khi mang nghĩa "loài người" tuyệt đối không được dùng " the ".

Ví dụ: Man is polluting the environment seriously (Loài người đang làm ô nhiễm môi trường nghiêm trọng).

· Dùng trước một danh từ số ít để chỉ một nhóm, một hạng người nhất định trong xã hội: The worker (Giới công nhân)

Tượng trưng cho một nhóm người, chúng không bao giờ được phép ở số nhiều nhưng được xem là các danh từ số nhiều. Do vậy động từ và đại từ đi cùng với chúng phải ở ngôi thứ 3 số nhiều:

Ví dụ: The poor = The poor people

The poor people are supported by government. Người nghèo được hỗ trợ bởi cơ quan chính phủ

không phải tạp chí/ tàu biển/ các khinh khí cầu: The Times/ The Titanic/ The Hindenberg

Ví dụ: Lan is my best friend. (Lan là bạn thân nhất của tôi).

Ví dụ: We usually dinner at 7 p.m this morning. (Chúng tôi thường ăn tối vào lúc 7 giờ).

Trừ khi muốn ám chỉ một bữa ăn cụ thể, ta dùng "the" để xác định bữa ăn đó.

Ví dụ: The dinner that my mother cooked was very delicious. Bữa tối mà mẹ tôi nấu rất ngon

Ví dụ: I went to hospital because I was sick. (Tôi đi đến bệnh viện vì tôi bị ốm)

=> Đến bệnh viện vì ốm là mục đích chính nên không dùng "the" trước "hospital"

Ví dụ: The teacher left the school for lunch (Giáo viên đã rời khỏi trường đi ăn trưa)

- Dùng trước tên các đại dương, sông ngòi, biển, vịnh và các cụm hồ (số nhiều)

The Red Sea, The Atlantic Ocean, the Great Lakes.

- Trước tên các dãy núi: The Rocky Mountains.

- Trước tên những vật thể duy nhất trong vũ trị hoặc trên thế giới: The Earth, The Sun

- The school, colleges, universities + of + danh từ riêng: The Univerity of Ha Noi, the University of London,...

- Dùng "the" trước số thứ tự: the first person, the Second World War,...

- Trước tên các nước được coi là một quần đảo hoặc tên nước số nhiều. Ví dụ: The Hawaii, the Philippines, the United States, the UK,...

- Trước tên các tài liệu hoặc sự kiện lịch sử

- Trước tên các nhóm dân tộc thiểu số

- Trước tên các môn học cụ thể: The jazz music

- Trước tên các nhạc cụ khi đề cập đến các nhạc cụ đó nói chung hoặc khi chơi các nhạc cụ đó: play the guitar, play the piano,...

- Trước tên một hồ. Lake Geneva

- Trước tên các hành tinh hoặc các chòm sao

- Trước tên các trường này nếu trước nó là một tên riêng

- Trước tên các nước chỉ có một từ. Spain, Japan, Vietnam

- Trước tên các lục địa, tiểu bang, thành phố, quận, huyện

- Trước tên bất kì môn thể thao nào: football, baseball,...

- Trước các danh từ trừu tượng

- Trước tên các môn học chung

- Trước tên các ngày lễ, tết

- Trước tên các loại hình nhạc cụ trong các hình thức âm nhạc cụ thể
