How the teacher can help you prepare for a job interview in Spanish

Preparing for an interview in Spanish is not just about writing an answer to a couple of questions about your career or your strengths and weaknesses, it goes much further than that. 

An online Spanish teacher is there to help you with many aspects such as grammar, pronunciation... but above all it will allow you to go into your job interview in Spanish feeling calm and confident.

If you have any doubts about what you will do during the class, you don't know what strategy you want to follow to prepare, what to focus on or what questions you should not miss, we are going to give you the keys to get the most out of your online Spanish class and leave feeling 100% prepared. To prepare for a job interview in Spanish:

Sign up for Classgap

 

1. Check your CV in Spanish:

Take advantage of the fact that you have booked a class with an Spanish teacher and start with the most basic and necessary thing, writing your CV in Spanish. Keep in mind that your CV is the first proof that the company has that you have mastered the language, so it is important that you make sure that all the content is translated correctly.

2. Be honest about your level of Spanish:

It's important that you are aware of your level of Spanish before you book a lesson to prepare for an interview in Spanish. Be honest with the teacher so that he/she can detect your learning needs more quickly and you don't waste time going over things you may already know.

3. Find out about the job you are applying for:

If you know the company and all the conditions and needs of the job you are applying for, it will be much easier for you to prepare with your teacher a series of questions that may arise during the interview or even specific vocabulary that you will need according to your job and professional sector.

4. Practice your pronunciation:

In Spanish there are a large number of homophones, words that sound very similar when pronounced but have completely different meanings.You should take advantage of your online English classes to perfect your pronunciation and in this way, as well as demonstrating your command of the language, you will avoid any misunderstandings that may arise during the interview.

 5. Practice listening: 

Sometimes we forget that an interview is a conversation between two people and for two people to understand each other you have to know how to listen. If you are not used to listening to English, it will be difficult to understand what the interviewer is asking you and it will be difficult for you to answer correctly. If you do not want to repeat hundreds of times the question: "Can you repeat please?" we advise you not to forget listening.

6. Spanish expressions:

Don't miss the opportunity to prepare with your teacher possible sample answers, phrases and expressions that you can use in any context and that can save you from not knowing what to say when faced with an interviewer's question.Knowing this type of lifesaver is a very useful resource and we are sure that you will use it on more than one occasion. 

7. Questions and answers in Spanish:

Job interviews are usually all very similar and this gives us an advantage, being able to prepare the answers to those questions that tend to be repeated in almost all interviews in Spanish. We also advise you to prepare some typical questions that you think may come up at the end of the interview, such as: what is the salary, when will they contact you again, etc. You will show interest in the position and resolve all your doubts.

8. Do a simulation:

The best way to prepare yourself is to practice. Ask your online Spanish teacher to do a dialogue in Spanish pretending that he/she is the interviewer and you are the interviewee. If you are not sure what you might be asked in your interview and you can't think of what to ask yourself, take inspiration from online job interviews, there are millions of examples on the internet that can help you.

If you still have any doubts, don't miss the article in which we tell you the 7 keys to mastering a job interview in English.
