Let’s start with some simple questions to get the conversation going:
- 🇨🇦 Canadian asks: Let’s talk about your past work experience. What was your job back home in your country?
- 🌍 Student asks: What about you, where do you work? Why did you decide to have this job?
- 🇨🇦 Canadian asks: Did you have any other jobs in the past? If yes, what made you change jobs?
- 🌍 Student asks: Do you like your current job? What do you like and not like about it?
- 🇨🇦 Canadian asks: Do you have a job now in Canada? If yes, was it difficult to find? If no, how are you looking for a job now?
- 🇨🇦 Canadian asks: What is your dream job in Canada?
- 🌍 Student asks: What job interviews have you had in the past? Do you have any funny or embarrassing moments from job interviews?
- 🇨🇦 Canadian asks: What job interviews have you had in the past? Have you had any interviews in English? What are the most difficult parts of job interviews in English for you?
- 🇨🇦 Canadian asks: Let’s practice your “Elevator Pitch”. This is a common skill to master in English, especially as a response to the common first interview question, “So, tell me about yourself and your experience.”
