This is the second in a two-part series on discussing previous experience in workplace job interviews.
Lesson Objectives
- Dealing with the small talk at the start of an interview.
- Respond to questions about your previous experience.
- Using strong, vivid language to describe your skills and experience.
- Turning weaknesses into strengths.
In the dialog, we hear a better interview performance by someone who has prepared to talk about their previous experience more effectively. In this good example, Sherry Shen, from Hong Kong, is interviewing with a multinational accounting company for her first job after graduating with a Master’s in finance.
It’s her first round of interviews, and she is being asked all the standard questions by an HR officer. Although Sherry is an all-around good candidate, her resume has some problems. Her grades aren’t great, and there is a gap with no employment between her college and graduate school careers.
