All right, Nicholas, are you ready to practice your interview today?
Yes. Well, kind of. I'm a bit nervous to be honest, but let's do it.
Don't worry, that's normal. That's why we are practicing, Nicholas, to help you feel more confident. Just remember, the more you prepare, the less nervous you'll be. Let's start with a simulation. I'll be the interviewer. Now, try to answer like it's real. Then, I'll give you some feedback.
Okay. Yes, I am very excited and I hope to get ready for my interview. Let's do it.
Mr. Thompson (as Interviewer): Good morning. Thank you for coming today. Can you please introduce yourself?
Yes. Um, my name is Nicholas. I am um 32 years old. I uh I live with my mother. I want a job because I need more money.
Okay, Nicholas. That's honest, but let's make that better. In an interview, it's not just about saying facts. It's about showing that you are professional, motivated, and the right person for the job. Talking about living with your mother or money as a first reason... well, it is not a good idea.
Oh, I see. Then what should I say? Please help me.
Try something like: "My name is Nicholas. I have experience in your field and I'm passionate about learning and growing. I'm looking for a job where I can use my skills and contribute to the company's success." Something like that. It's simple, polite, and professional. It works very well.
Okay. I think I understand that part. I'll try again. My name is Nicholas. I have experience and I want to use my skills in this company. How's that?
Better. Adjust a little more. Mention one or two things you're good at. Keep your tone confident, not too fast, not too quiet. And remember, smile. All right, let's go with the next question. What are your strengths?
Um, I don't know. Maybe I am good at talking to people. I think.
Okay, not bad. But you need to sound sure. Don't say "maybe" or "I think." That makes the interviewer doubt. Say it with confidence. For example, "One of my strengths is communication. I enjoy working with people and I'm good at building relationships." Something like that.
One of my strengths is communication. I like working with people.
Yes, that's good. You can even add, "I'm also organized and responsible. I always try to complete my tasks on time because that makes me feel better." Something like that. All right. And what is your biggest weakness?
Oh. Um, I'm always late. I don't want to wake up early.
Nicholas. Thank you for being honest, but that's not what you say in an interview. You don't want to give a red flag. You have to be very careful with that.
But I wake up late every day. I like to sleep. So I should lie?
