This week the ‘Thinking in English’ Community is practicing for your dream job interview!
As the world becomes more interconnected, English has become the language of international business. This means that we are all more likely to have future job interviews in English!
Job interviews can be hard, and answering questions effectively in a second language is tricky too! That’s why it is important to practice interviews in English!
Here are 10 conversation questions to get you practicing for your dream job interview!
