▶ 2. Having a Mock Interview
Claire: Okay, as you know, the more you practice, the better you will be able to respond during your actual interview.
Jenny: Yes, you’re right. And I believe it will help me to reduce stress as well.
Claire: Right. Let’s do it. The questions might be like…. could you please describe yourself, Jenny?
Jenny: Oh, er, well….
Claire: Sell yourself! You should sell yourself clearly and effectively.
Jenny: Oh, yes, I am confident, energetic, motivated... and I am focused.
Claire: Good, go on.
Jenny: Uh, well… and.. ah, keeping time is important to me. I always try to complete my work on time.
Clair: That’s good. They will be attracted to your energy and self-assurance, I think. And the HR team is going to discuss the salary with you. Sometimes they will try to negotiate your salary.
Jenny: Er, well, I am very flexible when it comes to salary. Oh, Claire, I promise I won't cry if I don't pass this time. I am so tired of being unemployed.
Claire: Oh, my dear Jenny, you won’t fail again! Just focus on what you can bring to the company.
Jenny: Oh, yeah, that’s what I mean.
Claire: I wish you the best. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Jenny: Thank you, Claire. I won’t let you down.
