Importance of Proper English during Job Interview

Importance of Proper English during Job Interview

Your job interview is crucially important, and it will determine whether or not you will get the job. Depending on the type of job you’re going for, it is very important for you to use proper English. In most cases, jobs which offer higher salaries will have higher levels of competition, and even if you’re qualified, one mistake during the interview will kill your chances of success.

Introduction

 

If you’re like many people, you’ve probably read of the many ways you need to prepare for a job interview. You’ve probably heard about how to dress, what to bring, and how to act. While all of these things are important, it is equally important for you to pay attention to your English.

When you talk to someone that uses poor English, the first thought that probably comes to your mind is that this person is unintelligent. Would you hire this person for a job? The answer to this question is probably no. If someone doesn’t speak in an intelligent manner, it is very likely that they are unintelligent, or uneducated. While this may not be the case, people will almost always judge you first by the way you look, and then by the things you say. When you go to a job interview, you can’t be lacking in either area. The first step in preparing for your job interview is to practice speaking. Think about the common questions that are asked during the interview, and come up with answers in advance.

Preparation is The Key

 

Waiting until you get to the interview is too late. If you haven’t thought about what you will say in advance, you’ve already put yourself at a disadvantage. While it is impossible for you to know all the questions that you will be asked during the interview, being prepared for common questions will give you the advantage. Some of the questions that you will be asked during the interview includes: Where do you see yourself in five years? Why do you want to work for us? What separates you from the other people who are applying for this job?

If you’ve been to more than one job interview, you should already have a good idea of the questions that you will be asked. Giving the best answers to these questions will separate you from the other people who are applying for the position. You should write down all these questions in advance, and you should prepare answers for them. Practice giving these responses in the days leading up to the interview. During the interview, and it is crucial for you to make sure your responses don’t sound scripted. If they sound scripted, this will leave a bad impression on the interviewer, who will think that you’re not genuine.

Using Proper English is Important During the Interview

 

While you will want to use the best English possible during the interview, you should only use big words if they flow naturally, and if they make sense. There is nothing more embarrasing than to use a fancy word out of context, or to use it in a way that doesn’t make sense. If you make this mistake during the job interview, you will make it appear as if you are trying too hard, and you may also make yourself look foolish. If you don’t know how to use a word in its proper context, it is best for you to avoid using the word. Using a fancy word in the wrong context is no different than using poor grammar. All roads lead to the same destination.



In addition to using fancy words, you must also know when to speak, and how to speak. Never interrupt the person that is interviewing you. This will be seen as rude and inconsiderate. When you speak, don’t speak too loudly, but avoid speaking too low. It is always bad when the interviewer has to ask you to speak up. You will come across as being timid, and most employers don’t want timid employees. It is also important for you to pause when you speak. This will allow you to emphasize important points. Speaking too fast can confuse the interviewer, and speaking too slowly will make them think you’re slow.

Conclusion

 

Your job interview is the moment where you will want to shine. You can’t afford to make mistakes in your English. Prepar for the questions in advance, and you should do well.
