I am Terry, Irish and a certified language teacher, with over 10 years of experience helping people from all over the world master English. My knowledge and preparation are here to guarantee you the best results.

You might be asking, how can Terry teach a course to pass job interviews? I've meticulously prepared this course, going as far as signing up for, presenting, and passing job interviews myself, solely to study the application method and achieve the best results for you.

WHAT ABOUT THE I.T. SECTOR?

I've interviewed and consulted with human resources recruiters to understand the interview process in the IT sector. This includes identifying key points, specific vocabulary, and unique questions asked in this field.

Thanks to this extensive research, I've identified that companies generally divide job interviews into two phases:

  1. Recognition Phase: They will ask you what you know about their company, the sector they're in, etc. With my study method, you'll be able to answer these simple questions easily and correctly.

  2. Personal Questions: They want to know about you – who you are, what you want – to identify if you are the right fit. You just have to tell the right story. With my STAR method, we will address these issues and prepare you for the best interview of your life.

You only need one opportunity to prove that you are the right person. You have the talent and the desire to fill that vacancy; let me help you achieve that goal.

At the end of this course, you will:

  • Possess the knowledge to manage the anxiety and nerves that a job interview can generate.

  • Be able to perform fluently and confidently in a job interview in English.

  • Have the necessary tools to prepare and present your interview in English and pass it successfully.

  • Be able to give formal, structured, and grammatically correct answers.

  • Know how to approach "competence" related answers, what to say, and what not to say according to what the interviewer wants to hear.

Get ahead of the answers, show preparation and confidence. You will gain the empowerment and assurance to face your job interview and pass it with flying colors.

Content available all the time: Prepare for your interview at any moment. Impress the HR recruiter and stand out from your colleagues. Download and study the guides, review the audios on your mobile, and take the practice test. Don't delay—achieve your goal now!
