Boys vs girls: preparing for an interview
To prepare for an interview in English, practice the questions you will probably hear, like "Tell me about yourself." and "What are your strengths?" Prepare short answers to both. When you or a friend feels nervous, "Just take a deep breath." is a calm, kind way to start again.

Explicación de cada frase
-
Just take a deep breath. Tono: Calm and kind
Say it when someone feels nervous, for example a friend before an interview. Don't say it to an interviewer or a manager, because it can sound like you are telling them to calm down.
“Just take a deep breath.”
-
Tell me about yourself. Tono: Friendly interview opener
This is often the first question in an interview. If you hear it, give a short answer about your work, your skills and why you want the job. Don't tell your whole life story.
“Tell me about yourself.”
-
What are your strengths? Tono: Direct and serious
Strengths are the things you do well. Interviewers ask this to hear about your skills, so give one or two real strengths with a short example. Avoid a long list.
“What are your strengths, ma'am?”
-
One of my strengths is staying calm under pressure. Tono: Confident but modest
Use this pattern to answer the strengths question. After "is," add a noun or an -ing form. It sounds better than "I am the best at everything."
-
I'm a bit nervous, to be honest. Tono: Honest and relaxed
Use it with a friend or a practice partner. In a real interview, you can say it once with a smile, but don't repeat it or keep apologizing.
-
Let's practice one more time. Tono: Encouraging and practical
Say it when you are preparing with a friend and want to repeat an answer. It isn't for the real interview, only for practice.
Errores frecuentes
-
No suena natural
Tell me about you.Mejor así Tell me about yourself.
The person who listens is also the topic, so English uses the reflexive pronoun "yourself." "Tell me about you" sounds unnatural here.
-
No suena natural
Just take a deep breathe.Mejor así Just take a deep breath.
"Breath" is the noun and "breathe" is the verb. After "take a deep," you need the noun. You can also say "Just breathe."
-
No suena natural
What is your strengths?Mejor así What are your strengths?
"Strengths" is plural, so the verb is "are." For one strength, ask "What is your biggest strength?"
