See you again, my dears.

If you have already passed interviews, then most likely you have noticed that they are all built on the same principle. An interview in English is no exception. You can't predict exactly how it will go, but you can prepare yourself for the standard questions that you will definitely be asked. You can do it yourself or trust professionals. For example, in the Lingua Airlines online English school, you can both with a Russian-speaking teacher and with a native speaker.

Among the standard questions at the interview is a request to tell about yourself in a free form in English.

Therefore, it will not be superfluous to think in advance what and how you will say, and remember the appropriate vocabulary for talking about yourself. In this case, you will not get lost in the interview with this question and will feel confident. The interviewer may ask you to start talking about yourself using the following phrases in English:

What can you tell me about yourself? — What can you tell about yourself?

What should we know about you? What should we know about you?

tell me about yourself. - Tell us about yourself.

You can start telling about yourself . You can start your story about yourself.

At the interview, you should not ask counter questions "what would you like to know about me?" or "Where do I start my story?". What the employer expects to hear in response to his request to tell about himself, you will learn further.

It is better to build a story about yourself at an interview in English as follows:

That is, give your name, surname, age, place of birth and residence, indicate marital status. However, at the interview you should not state in detail your entire biography, it is enough to say a few general phrases about yourself in English:

My name (first name) is Pavel. I am Pavel Petrov. - My name is Pavel. I am Pavel Petrov.

My surname (last name) is Petrov. My surname is Petrov.

I am 33 years old.- I am 33 years old.

I was born in Moscow and I have lived all my life here. I was born in Moscow and have lived here all my life.

2. Continue your story in English by sharing information about education.

You can also report in your story about plans for further professional development, if any. Don't forget to include information about any additional certifications you've purchased and specialty courses you've taken. When constructing sentences in English in your story, pay attention to grammar: use the past tense if you are talking about an education that you have already received. If you want to indicate that you are still learning, then you must use the present continuous tense.

4. Also, in a story about yourself in English, you must include a description of your personal qualities.

At the interview, the emphasis should be on phrases that characterize you as a good professional. In your story, focus on characteristics that are unique to your work. At the interview, you should not tell the interviewer that you are a caring husband or a good host. Think about what qualities a potential employer would like to see in you, and how these qualities could help you in your new position. In a story about yourself in English, you can also emphasize the strengths of your character:

I am hard working and responsible person. — I am a hardworking and responsible person.

I am fond of doing sports. — I really like playing sports.

I am interested in music. - I'm interested in music.

In terms of time, your story should last no more than 1-1.5 minutes.

Also, be prepared that your story about yourself will not be limited to one monologue. Perhaps the interviewer will try to engage you in a conversation in English and ask additional questions.

The list of topics that the employer can touch on during the interview is very long, but still here you can prepare yourself and think over the answers to the most likely questions in English. Try to give short, clear and comprehensive answers so that during the interview the employer does not have the desire to ask a question ” why?" (Why?)

1. The interviewer can start the interview with introductory phrases and questions in English:

Could you please introduce yourself! “Could you please introduce yourself!”

Nice to meet you!- Nice to meet you!

How are you?- How are you doing?

Are you ready to start the interview? Are you ready to start the interview?

2. Also at the interview, the employer can discuss with you the work schedule (your employment, willingness to work overtime).

Would you like to get a full-time or part-time job? Would you like to get a full or part time job?

Do you mind working overtime? Do you mind working overtime?

3. At an interview in English, you may be asked about the level of expected salary.

What is your salary expectation? What are your salary expectations?

4. A very common interview question: why do you think you are the right candidate for this position?

Most likely, the employer wants to hear in the answer to this question a story about what contribution you can make to the company, what new things you can offer, how your previous experience will help you in your work, do you have enough knowledge and skills for a new position .

Why do you think we should hire you? Why do you think we should give you a job?

What are your strong and weak points? - What are your strengths and weaknesses?

What is your great strength (weakness)? What is your main strength/weakness?

6. At the end of the interview, you have the right to ask your questions in English:

What will be my responsibilities? What will my responsibilities be?

So, careful preparation of a story about yourself for an interview in English, as well as answers to possible questions, will give you additional chances to pass the interview successfully.

In any case, your main task in the interview is to be confident and not get lost, even if you do not understand the question or do not know how to answer it. You can always ask the interviewer again using the following phrases in English:

Could you please repeat? - Would you please repeat that?

Could you please say it once again? — Could you say it again?

Each of us has ever faced the task of writing or speaking about ourselves. It could be when applying for a job, when meeting new people, when filling out a questionnaire, taking an exam, or simply it was the topic of your school essay.

It is important to immediately determine how deep and extensive your story about yourself should be. Of course, it all depends on the situation. If you are preparing for an interview, then the story should be clear, concise, business-like. You should focus on your education, work experience, your business qualities, and in general, your strengths and prospects as an employee. If your story is focused on new acquaintances, then most likely you will mainly talk about your hobbies, habits, character, etc. In a school essay, you will definitely have to talk about your family and friends and plans for the future . Situations in which you need to talk about yourself can be very different.

We draw up a plan for a story about myself “About myself”

If you are faced with the task of telling about yourself in English, then ready-made phrase templates will come to your aid, adding to which you will receive a full-fledged essay. First you need to determine for yourself what exactly you want to talk about and draw up a clear plan for the story. I suggest you explore a “universal” self-narration plan that works for almost any situation. You yourself will be able to decide which points in your essay will be covered in more detail and which not. For each item, you will be offered template phrases with a translation, which you will need to supplement with information about yourself.

Our story plan is as follows:

1. Introduction and general information about myself (Introduction and general information about myself)
2. Place of residence (The place where I live)
3. Information about family
4. Education
5. Place of work (My job)
6. My hobbies, talents, interests (My hobby, talents and interests)
7. Traits of character (Сharacter)
8. Plans for the future Template phrases are the main assistants in writing a story about yourself

For some reason, this is very important for Americans. A person can be born, for example, in the state of Illinois and move to another state in early childhood, but when they meet, he will certainly mention that he is from Illinois.
