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.

表現ごとの解説

Just take a deep breath. 口調とニュアンス: 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.”

使用作品：Down with Love (2003)
Tell me about yourself. 口調とニュアンス: 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.”

使用作品：The Perfect Date (2019)
What are your strengths? 口調とニュアンス: 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. 口調とニュアンス: 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. 口調とニュアンス: 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. 口調とニュアンス: 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.

よくある間違い

惜しい表現 ~~Tell me about you.~~

より適切な表現 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.
惜しい表現 ~~Just take a deep breathe.~~

より適切な表現 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."
惜しい表現 ~~What is your strengths?~~

より適切な表現 What are your strengths?

"Strengths" is plural, so the verb is "are." For one strength, ask "What is your biggest strength?"
