UNIVERSITY & JOB INTERVIEWS

Job and university interviews can be


challenging. For some people, the idea of
answering basic interview questions is enough
to make them shy away from the job search.

However, with a little knowledge and


preparation, you can answer interview
questions with confidence.

To help you prepare for your university and further job interviews, your teacher has compiled a list of common interview
questions that may be asked by interviewers at any interviews you attend, and questions you can ask to the interviewer.

Let's go

• Imagine you have to attend a personal interview today.


You’ve followed the teacher´s advice and now... it’s
your next oral presentation and you’ll do it well.
• Remember to include some of the previous questions
together with the specific vocabulary learnt from your
book.
• You’re going to work in pairs, one of you is going to be
the interviewer and the other one the interviewee.
• The presentation will last 6/8 minutes in total. Very
important: Don't´read; you can have notes but try to
be natural.
