If you have been following our channel, you will know that this is a project that I started almost two years ago with my daughter, who is now 12, to help people learn English. While it is something we dearly enjoy, there are costs to creating this content. One of my followers suggested that I launch a Patreon account, so that if you feel grateful for what you are learning on our channel, you may buy us a cup of coffee ☕  or hot chocolate (hot chocolate for Kat, as she is 12 and maybe should not be drinking coffee). Thank you so much for watching and providing us feedback and encouraging comments 😊😄😁. Also, for our future Patreon sponsors, I will be adding a thank you at the end of the videos in the future with your names 😊

Title: 10 Common Interview Questions and how to answer them   - Presentation for English Club
Caption: that&#39;s a good question and i think that the pandemic has really showed employers that people can be productive working remotely um that they can be just as productive as working the office and employers have found that they can save money because if they don&#39;t have all the employees working in one building then they don&#39;t have to pay for the rent and so i think it probably is increasing opportunities for people in other countries to work for companies um whether it be you know i know there&#39;s a lot of um call centers like in latin america but there&#39;s possibly you know opportunities for engineering because engineering think about it you&#39;re using like i know with my son he&#39;s using cad and he&#39;s designing stuff like i don&#39;t know what i&#39;m talking about but he&#39;s designing robots with cad like you can be doing that you don&#39;t even have you could be using a computer remotely in another country possibly but you can be designing the stuff and sending those those designs so i don&#39;t see why it would not be like this whole pandemic has kind of opened those opportunities thank you rochelle lapin in here and i live in the united states i&#39;m from massachusetts i work in a high school i work with students that are applying to college and i also have worked in colleges before in career services so when jose asked me to do this i i developed this really based on questions that that students that are that are graduating college high school or college here in the united states would get so they might be a little bit different than what you would have in peru but i think they&#39;re similar i did actually talk to a friend from bolivia and told me that some of the questions might be a little different but again this is based on um students graduating from college here in the us and it&#39;s actually based on an article from harvard university um or the harvard business review so i am going to talk about 10 questions oh by the way i also have a youtube channel and it&#39;s right in the right here it&#39;s called dreaming english where i try to help people learn english so any case i&#39;m going to talk about 10 questions 10 of the most common questions that you might get in an interview and how to answer those questions and then you can ask questions at the end all right okay okay so the first question that is the most common i think is tell me about yourself and it&#39;s really a time to talk about your academic education your training your industry experience and why you are the best candidate for the job so you will really have wanted to do your homework about that particular job the job description about the company and really kind of tailor your question of how your education your training your experience goes along with that job so for me i would say something like well i&#39;ve actually worked in education in a high school setting for the last six years with students one-on-one on their college applications and i&#39;ve worked myself up to coordinator i feel that my my skills of interpersonal skills are really relevant to this position and so on so you really want to kind of look at those skills look at what they&#39;re looking for and tailor that that questions it&#39;s not a time to talk about everything in your life but really how do you fit into that position so the next one is how did you hear about this position so here is if someone has recommended you for this job so if jose actually recommended me for this job i&#39;m going to want to mention jose&#39;s name i&#39;m going to want to say that i was recommended because i&#39;m not gonna just assume that the interviewer is gonna know that um but if you did find this job on your own like what caught your eye like why were you interested in this job um and if you were recruited like why did you take the bait um for the job so an example could be that i learned about this position on linkedin i&#39;ve been following your company&#39;s page for a while and i&#39;m really passionate about the work that you do in xyz areas so i was really excited to apply the required skills match my match my skill set and and it seems like a great opportunity for me to contribute to your mission as well as the as well as the next great um great move for my career so that would be like one example of how to answer this question so the next one is like what type of work environment do you like so be sure again to do your homework to research on linkedin to research on the company&#39;s website their social media and try to figure out what kind of work environment they have and basically whether or not that matches and closely aligns with what you are interested in so your your research will save you here your preferred work environment should really align closely to the company&#39;s culture and if it doesn&#39;t it might not be a good fit for you so it&#39;s important to like know that you know before you take a job so an example of answering this question is like i really like a fast faced i really like a fast-paced environment because they make me feel like i&#39;m always learning and growing but i thrive when i am collaborating with a team members when i thrive when i&#39;m collaborating with team members and helping people reach a collective goal as opposed to competing in my last internship um it was with an organization with a similar culture and i really enjoyed that balance so a fourth question that is very common is how do you deal with pressure or stressful situations this is important because an employer wants to know how you hold down the fort under pressure they want to know that you&#39;re not going to crack when there is like a lot of pressure going on they want to know that you&#39;re not going to have a meltdown when it when the pressure becomes too intense or the deadlines are looming and so one way to answer that would be i realize situations are always going to come up and i definitely have to learn how to navigate them throughout my career i&#39;ve been getting better and better at um handling those actually one example the employees really love examples one example was in my two weekends ago when i was working in my my my job with hybrid services that we give the hybrid classes that we give the internet cut out and i had to think really quick on my feet what to do so first of all i told everybody give me five minutes let me reset the computer and the router got the things back up into place and was able to get the get the hybrid class going again so basically how did you handle did you list crumble under that pressure but instead give them an example of how you handled that stressful situation and handled it well so that way they know when you handle when you when you have pressure on the job that you&#39;re going to handle it well so the fifth question would be like do you prefer working independently or on a team so here here the answer should be based again on research for the job you should really be looking at what kind of culture the the the company has and expect that most environments are going to have team team based work highlight some of your best traits and personalities and how they fit the requirements and consider answering the questions by highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of both situations and so a good way to probably answer this is that um an example would be i i really enjoy a blend of the two working independently and on a team i like having a team to strategize with get diverse opinions from and reach out for feedback but i also am comfortable taking on assignments uh that require me to work independently i find that i do some of my best work when i can focus on a quiet place but i really value collaborating with my teammates and coming up with the best ideas so the sixth question that is very common would be um when balancing multiple projects how do you keep yourself organized it&#39;s very important employers want to know how you are going to stay organized for the day-to-day things and the projects that come up in the future they want to know how you utilize your time and and your energy to stay productive they also want to know do you have a system for staying on track they might ask you like how do you handle your email that&#39;s like a common question um that that i&#39;ve heard from employers and how do you stay on track with the work beyond the company&#39;s schedule be sure to emphasize that you adhere to deadlines and you take them seriously discuss a specific instance again they like examples talk about the importance of urgency so like what are the very urgent projects that are important and are need to be done but maybe there&#39;s important projects that don&#39;t need to be done right away so how do you balance those out and explain how you remained organized and focused on the job so an example could be i&#39;m i&#39;m used to juggling projects on my own where i&#39;m often moving between coding one software program and another i found it really helps me prioritize what i need to get done first and it holds me accountable for day-to-day responsibilities and tasks i also use google calendar to keep track of my my meetings and remind me and i use the task function of google calendar to keep keep my tasks that need to be done on a day-to-day basis so giving them examples of how do you keep organized all right so number seven what did you do in your last year to improve your knowledge now this question is coming up a lot because of the pandemic employers want to know if you had extra time on your hands because of lockdown did you use that time to kind of like learn some new skills um or improve yourself but they also understand that some people weren&#39;t able to i&#39;ve had students that actually had to had to work because their parents had coven and they had to help take care of the day-to-day bills so they weren&#39;t able to learn another language or to gain new skills but they want to know did you take the time if you did end up having some people had extra time because they were working from home or they were going to school from homes they didn&#39;t have that commute so you might have had time to actually improve yourself so kind of explain you know if you had the time to improve yourself how did you do it in the last year but if you didn&#39;t kind of also explain that because we all understand everyone had a different story during the pandemic but do expect that employers may ask questions about that know that you don&#39;t have to be scared about answering this question if you didn&#39;t spend your time brushing up on skills or taking courses we all learn from all the different experiences so taking care of like working to help take care of your family or whatever your experience was all is important so one example could be there&#39;s two examples that i&#39;ll give one example is the extra time um the extra time on my plate really allowed me to be introspective around what i wanted where i wanted to take my career i read a lot of journals and kept abreast of the latest ideas in my field and sharpened my skills by taking online online courses and then um another example would be like everyone else i too gained some time last year for not having to travel two hours a day to and from work i decided to spend my time on things that i love so i got back to learning how to play the guitar and journaling employers want to know that you know how to take care of yourself too because that&#39;s important so this is a good example i feel it brought me back to brought me closer to myself and it&#39;s been really great for my mental health and productivity so work life balance is another important thing employers are going to want to know that you do have a good work life balance that you&#39;re able to take care of yourself because if you&#39;re not able to take care of yourself you&#39;re not going to be able to do a good job for them now here is where i prepared this question based on united states and my friend in bolivia said that this isn&#39;t always the case they improve but i&#39;m going to answer this as it would be for my students here in the u.s so sometimes employers in the us will say what are your salary expectations so before you arrive you should know the set the salary for the positions you&#39;re applying to there are websites like glassdoor fishbowlvault.com you can ask people in the field by researching on linkedin um and there are many different sites that government sites that will list different positions different jobs and the different salary ranges and based on geographic locations now i&#39;m told that that might not be the case in peru but any case here in the u.s you would want to know because employers will always ask this question because the position is budgeted they have a certain amount that they are able to pay for that so they&#39;re going to ask what your expectation is so a good way to answer that would be based on my skills and experience um and on the current industry rates i&#39;m looking for a salary range of 50 000 to 55 000 i&#39;m just giving that as an example but basically you know know what that range is so you&#39;re able to give that in the interview all right so another question they may ask is are you applying for other jobs employers want to know if you are generally interested in this position or if it&#39;s just one of your your options so if it is your top option you should definitely let them know um simply put they want to know if they&#39;re your top choice um you don&#39;t necessarily have to say all the places that you are applying unless you have a job offer then you may have to let them know that um you can also mention that you&#39;re actively looking for offers if you&#39;re impo if your interviewer asks um so in is i applied to a couple other firms but this role is is really the one that i&#39;m most excited about right now because and that&#39;s where your research will really matter like you want to know why it is that you want to work there all right so and this is the tenth question i have from your resume it seems like you had a gap year would you like to tell us about this um would you like to tell us why that was so here&#39;s the thing a lot of students like after high school or after college might take a gap year for various reasons so let the interviewer know that your gap year wasn&#39;t just about procrastination but added value like sometimes a lot of people have taken a gap year during the pandemic because they had to maybe they had to take a gap year to take care of family members because you know um they had to work to help out the family there might be all kinds of reasons or maybe you took a gap year to volunteer you took a gap year to travel whatever it is tell them why that was um and i think that was a very common thing in the last two years is my students taking gap years out of necessity like some of my students are really high school students so they took gap years because they didn&#39;t want their college experience to be an experience of having college during a pandemic in lockdown but a lot of times i think students graduating college took a gap year because maybe they had to take care of family members maybe there just weren&#39;t jobs around or whatever the case may be so that was definitely the case um so let your interviewer know um basically that it wasn&#39;t about procrastination um but that basically it added value or maybe it was for some personal reason because of the pandemic um provide a short explanation of why you decided to pursue a gap year and then focus on what came out of it and what how it became positive to your future and so an example would be during my last year in college i really didn&#39;t feel ready um to pursue my career so i took on a i took a wilderness course for a few months to sort out my goals it may seem a little random but the time i spent really helped me develop my new skills in this in the area of leadership communication um and during that time i really realized i wanted to pursue a position in such and such career um i understand you guys are engineering so um any case in summary i&#39;m gonna like to make a winning impression um you need to answer each question with poise and passion practicing really helps now i will tell you practicing in front of a mirror practicing recording yourself now you can record yourself with your phone it tricks your brain if you record yourself it tricks your brain into feeling like you are an interview what will that do that will really help you when you are actually in the interview because it will take those nerves down there&#39;s another um another thing i would mention there&#39;s a really good ted talk by amy cuddy and so she talks about the science of body language when we have confident body language it talks to our brain and it makes us more confident so she has this 20 minute ted talk but i&#39;m gonna give you the summary you can watch the ted talk later so the so a little simple thing it&#39;ll take you two minutes what you do before the interview is you go you go over to the building that the interview is but you go into the bathroom and you do two minutes of a superman or a superwoman pose two minutes you don&#39;t do it when you get an interview what does that do it tricks your brain it it builds up your your um testosterone hormones which are your confident hormones right and it takes down those cortisol hormones which are the stress hormones and what it will do and they&#39;ve done studies which if you watch this ted talk later on you&#39;ll find they actually tested it for people interviewing and the people that did the very confident the superman superwoman poses those were the one those were the people that the interviewers wanted to hire so there&#39;s a little tool for your toolbox it won&#39;t save you if you didn&#39;t do all your other homework but if you did your other homework and you&#39;re somebody that&#39;s a little bit nervous for an interview then doing this will really help i&#39;m just going to take a drink of water all right so preparation will allow you to be confident and in control um helping position you as the ideal candidate when the competition is tough um and focus on yourself the industry and how you best fit the jobs um other tips i talked about research so there&#39;s all kinds of ways that you can research linkedin i&#39;m sure there&#39;s many other websites but linkedin is a really good place the company website is a really good place you want to know their mission you want to know linkedin you can maybe possibly have some informational interviews with people that work there and learn more about the place be on time that is super important that you be on time so in your mind think of what if the time is 10 o&#39;clock in the morning get there at 9 45 make sure that you are thinking about traffic anything that&#39;s going to get in the way give yourself extra time it&#39;s better to be sitting out in your car or anyplace else being early than being late because when you&#39;re late you just made a bad impression dress for success so make sure that you&#39;re dressed for whatever the industry is whether it&#39;s a suit and tie whatever it is make sure you&#39;re dressed for success for that interview you want to make eye contact you want to have a firm handshake with the person and make eye contact with them because they make they make judgments on you in the first couple seconds that they meet you um make sure to bring your resume with you um and know your resume know it like i i was just sat through the last bit of the person before that was talking about resumes make sure you know that resume front and back because they might ask you questions so know the dates know all the details if you had somebody help you with your resume make sure you know that resume front and back um and then greet the like i said greet that interviewer with a firm handshake and a smile now i am finishing a little early because i expected jose that you were going to be translating for me so i would have um i know that i probably was supposed to talk for 45 minutes but we have lots of time for questions i thought you were gonna translate everything and then i would have been at 40 minutes yeah of course there then no worry i think it&#39;s really great i suppose if you have another one that you people can have a break but now you may ask questions yeah it&#39;s this is a great opportunity for everyone to ask their questions because rachel is gonna answer them actually i wanted you to clarify for the audience what is uh get gear exactly because here we go oh okay so a gap year is basically like so i imagine that are you all seniors finishing up college your last year so if you&#39;re in taking your last year of college and you you take a year and you don&#39;t go directly to work that&#39;s a gap year so you didn&#39;t go to work you didn&#39;t go straight to a job it&#39;s a gap yeah maybe you took a gap year because you wanted to travel make maybe you took a gap year because you wanted to go the peace corps or some sort of volunteer opportunity maybe you took a gap year because you needed to take care of somebody in your family there could be all kinds of reasons for a gap year but you want to make sure that the employer knows that your gap year wasn&#39;t just because oh i wasn&#39;t ready to go in the job market so that&#39;s just a way of answering it and i think this question is coming up more because of the pandemic so if your resume like if you like so you&#39;re graduating this year from this university and it&#39;s a whole nother year and you don&#39;t have any work experience that&#39;s where kind of like that volunteer and all that stuff that your previous speaker was talking about like maybe if you graduated and you didn&#39;t get a job but you can put in that experience maybe you want to go volunteer at some organization you can stick that on your resume because if they see a gap of like oh you graduated in may of 2022 and now it&#39;s may of 2023 and there&#39;s nothing on your resume there&#39;s a gap there right yeah is that clear yeah it&#39;s clear let me translate it in spanish [Music] we don&#39;t have an exact so pretty interesting and maybe if there&#39;s someone in the audience that you&#39;d like to make a question to rachel by turning on your microphone or letting in the comment section um [Music] hi um i have a question about the annie of sabatico yeah actually it&#39;s my it&#39;s my experience uh i take the last year like my my three year and and now i i i want to come back the job but i don&#39;t know how wha what type of things put in my cv because the last year i don&#39;t work and i don&#39;t have [Music] many experience did you work on at online like improving any skills like skills like you&#39;re part of this english club maybe you can put that on um did you take care of him like think try to think of what you did so even if you if you have something any volunteer or any sort of skills that you have improved you could put that on the resume but if you don&#39;t have something just be ready to explain why you took that year and i&#39;m not saying that if you took that year off that you won&#39;t get a job because people do um but just be ready to talk about it and how did you spend your time does that make sense it&#39;s more clear clearer now yeah yeah it&#39;s more clearly thank you okay yeah so so your resume is very important to properly feels well that gap year and okay so maybe you could though i have a question about um which other place exists to reply to the uh to the question when they ask you how do you deal with problems during your interview so it&#39;s it&#39;s common that they put you in your in an example where there&#39;s a fictional situation when where you have to resolve a problem or maybe i&#39;ve heard about the example where they say to you that you are in an island with other crew members and you need to find a way to get out of that problem and some of uh some of you need to one of you need to be the leader that was in the proper case so uh who what&#39;s the best way to deal with that ask questions those are difficult questions and i it&#39;s a guess you have to like think quickly of like if you were on that island and you were the leader how would you um there&#39;s so many crazy questions employers can ask you there&#39;s no way to prepare for every single one that&#39;s why i just picked these top 10 because i figured these are the most common questions to prepare for it&#39;s not possible to prepare for the hundreds of questions that they might ask you however i don&#39;t think those are common questions like if you were on an island like those are not common questions at least in the u.s not to say that people don&#39;t get those questions but they&#39;re not common questions in the u.s what they&#39;re looking for is they&#39;re asking questions that are going that they want to hear about your experience about like if you dealt with a difficult customer like have you ever dealt with a difficult person or a difficult customer like how did you deal with that so it&#39;s good if you have in your mind and even if you&#39;re an engineer there&#39;s customers everywhere there&#39;s customers that are whoever is wanting you to build and you know design your building or whatever kind of engineering i don&#39;t even know what i&#39;m talking about my son is going to be a mechanical engineer and i don&#39;t know about engineering but in the case you always have customers or you always have people that you have to work with you always have teammates that can be difficult how did you you know deal with a difficult teammate a difficult fellow employee like so just think in your mind and even write them down you always want to have a beginning a middle and end of your of your story but you want to like almost write down like three paragraphs of how you dealt with a difficult employee how have you dealt with a difficult customer so that way when that person asks you that it comes quickly because you&#39;ve already written it down and you practice saying it aloud don&#39;t just write it down practice saying it aloud and go one bit further practice recording yourself saying it aloud practice listening to yourself saying it loud because when it comes to answering that question it&#39;ll come very clear and natural if you wrote it down and if you practiced and if you recorded yourself it will be much easier but it&#39;s not possible to prepare for every crazy question and the one you just gave me is kind of a crazy one i don&#39;t know if those are the questions they&#39;re asking in peru but they&#39;re not super common here in the us right thank you for playing actually it&#39;s not very common i was just asking because because it seems really curious and yeah so [Music] and and may i ask something about how if i want to give the idea that i have the profile of a leader of a leader and which kind of attitude i need i need to have to show them that i have all the the characteristics and the performance to be to work as a leader in that in the company well that is a that&#39;s a really good question i mean um i kind of feel like at first you&#39;re going to kind of work yourself into leadership like at first when you&#39;re applying when you&#39;re getting out of college you&#39;re most likely going to apply for entry-level positions where then you would kind of learn those skills to be a leader unless you&#39;ve also during college maybe worked in different places where you had supervisory skills you&#39;re most likely going to be applying for entry-level positions in firms and engineering firms or whatever may be the case um and so those leadership skills are going to come with time like there but you might have had some leadership like you have this english club right so here you are you i imagine that maybe you are on the planing committee of this maybe you&#39;re the president i don&#39;t know but if you were the president or on the council student council those are things you can talk about because that&#39;s leadership right if you had supervisory like if you worked at mcdonald&#39;s or any place like that and you were a supervisor you supervised other human beings that&#39;s leadership you can talk about that i mean that still counts because supervising and leading people whether it be in a student club whether it be in a mcdonald&#39;s it is still supervisory it&#39;s still examples of leadership and that you might not get a job straight out uh in management but at least that you can put it down that you have those skills and you might put it down as different clubs that you had leadership um roles in all right yeah it&#39;s more clear though and yeah so basically it&#39;s to look for ways in to look for cases in which you have already worked as a leader because events some tasks that may seem that simple are actually tasks where you had that you had to be a leader so let&#39;s look for those cases basically yeah an organization like i think you were responsible for organizing this i mean or helping to organize this that&#39;s a big task to organize with international people to come and speak um in this conference i mean that&#39;s like not it&#39;s leadership but it&#39;s also organization skills i mean that&#39;s big because it&#39;s time zones and you know you know developing relationships it&#39;s a real real good examples and so anyone else listening what were your examples what were the different clubs you were involved in the different leadership roles maybe there&#39;s other things maybe you organize some sort of like when i was in college i organized a tea and i had speakers like a tea that we drank tea but we had speakers we had a whole theme so we had to order food and we had to invite important people to it so those are this there&#39;s all kinds of things that you could have been involved in during your college experience that could be leadership could be organization skills that could be definitely things that you can talk about in the interview all right yeah sounds pretty great so we all have something of a leader yeah okay all right so and which other questions maybe that you didn&#39;t um did you point out that you didn&#39;t point out on this oh okay somebody&#39;s putting how to answer the weakness question you know that is a really difficult one and i&#39;ve always like i&#39;ve always struggled with that one but i i think that what you want to do is you want to look for something that is a weakness but how did you improve it so you don&#39;t want to just point out your weakness but maybe you had some particular weakness like whether it be technology or whether it be organization but how did you turn that around and make it a strength you don&#39;t want to just leave it so they they ask you to talk about your weakness but make sure you turned it around and you said okay this is i&#39;ve always had a weakness in organization and you know like getting things done on time but what i did was i used google calendars and the task manager in google calendar so i could get all my assignments done on time turn it around into a strength turn it around into a solution don&#39;t just leave it as a weakness in your way that you answer it if that makes sense so try to be very introspective and because everyone has a weakness like if you say i don&#39;t have a weakness that&#39;s not true you do have a weakness but how did you improve it and turn it around so it basically you found a way to prove it you were introspective because we all have weaknesses but you also improved it okay anyone else i&#39;m sure you have some more questions i know i didn&#39;t i didn&#39;t have i i could have probably done 20 questions but i expected that jose was going to translate everything i said so i gave time for that so please ask questions and i can answer other questions how to answer other questions that i did not go over yeah plus guys leave your questions about what rachel and one question uh hi rachel you have the opportunity to interview uh some some applicants for from to work remotely from latin american countries like peru chile argentina i don&#39;t know if you have the opportunity or hear about that how is that the process um well you know i have not had that opportunity however i&#39;ll tell you that if you ever had the chance to come to the u.s your skills would be greatly appreciated because we&#39;re always looking for bilingual people but i have not had that opportunity where i work though we are always needing bilingual people um so it&#39;s so important if you if you have those skills like you have that ability to you know better yourself there in peru but if you ever have the chance to go to an english-speaking country your skills are going to be in demand because spanish is like one of those top languages next to like english and chinese and spanish and so basically we need people that speak spanish and that are fluent in english right because that&#39;s like a key like if you can basically be like if you&#39;re if i have somebody in the school if i have a student that is a spanish speaker and i have some spanish but i don&#39;t have enough i need somebody that can translate for me um so that&#39;s the key like not just being able to speak the spanish but obviously if you&#39;re in this club you&#39;re getting fluent in english so that is super important but i&#39;m sorry i don&#39;t have like really an answer to how to um get jobs outside of latin america yeah all right so i think now jessica knows better about that and okay maybe there&#39;s any other any other questions in the comments please guys get your questions and i will um i have given jose the and i will make sure that you have the links that this my questions came from an article from the harvard business review which i will i can actually put that into the chat let me just get that up um i can put the different things so the this particular the i based this off of this article from the harvard business review so i will copy that into the chat and i also want to i do have the link for the amy cuddy video that i talked about this is the link for the amy cuddy video that i suggest that you take the time to watch i&#39;m going to put that in the chat and what else i&#39;m also going to do a shameless club plug and put in my youtube channel into the chat because um me see i want to copy this copy so i&#39;ll put that here this is my youtube channel so these three things in the chat so the first one is the article that i got these questions from and how i base this um talk or this presentation the the second link is the amy cuddy ted talk like your key to building your confidence before your interview two minutes of your time very interesting as well she has a really good talk she&#39;s actually a harvard harvard professor and then the third one is my youtube channel so other questions please ask them because i still have time otherwise are you guys done for the night or you have another speaker yeah for the night wear them okay so if you have no questions then um you can finish early but i&#39;m still available of course yeah actually i have one question about the salary topic um at least in the in the technological field how much variety are rates of salaries if you are just get when if you just finished university in which field technological oh okay so you know um as far as like salaries like um in the us i think it&#39;s i um one that one net i&#39;m trying to think one i haven&#39;t been using these i think it&#39;s inet i&#39;m trying to think oh net oh nets that&#39;s it so in i&#39;m going to give this this is a really good for like salaries in the us and you can look up all kinds of um you can look up all kinds of salaries in the us based on different engineering whatever whatever particular nursing whatever it is i know you&#39;re all engineering students i believe but this is for the u.s i imagine there&#39;s something similar for peru but this one allows you to um look up you can actually type in actually let me stop share and i&#39;m going to share this site so you guys can see it because then you can see what i&#39;m talking about so this is a site i&#39;m talking about it&#39;s called ona online it is by the us government but so here you can see here occupation keyword so it has electrician i&#39;m just gonna press go and well okay let me just put mechan engineer engineer engineer let&#39;s put engineer mechanical mechanical engineer mechanical okay let&#39;s look at mechanical engineers because that&#39;s what my son is going to college for right now so we can look up all kinds of information this is a good thing to use for writing your resumes as well but we can also look up salary information if we scroll down and again this is just for the us but i&#39;m guessing they have something similar so we can look at the medium wage for our people coming out so that&#39;s not the beginning people but people that have been working for a while 45 dollars or um an hour or 93 000 a year and i can look up like do you want to go live in sunny california so let me go here and go to california and let&#39;s look up what it is in california and it&#39;s going to give me like the minimum wages and the medium and so on so you can kind of get an idea of what mechanical engineers make in each state or in the us in general i imagine they probably have a similar site in peru but this one i think i just stuck this site in the the chat it might be a good place to look up it has information on skills too so when you&#39;re writing your resume you can see all the different things abilities skills um things that keywords that you need for your resume so it&#39;s actually probably a good tool but again it&#39;s giving information for the us i don&#39;t have sites similar for peru do you have like a career service um department for your university as far as i know we don&#39;t have something like that there is rather uh a web where you can see all the job opportunities that are available for the company in the us every college has a department that&#39;s called career services that will like help the students with their resumes help the students with interview skills help the students with this kind of stuff so i wondered if also in peru they did that no exactly um well it is also why our colleges cost so much yeah yeah of course yeah so okay thank you for sharing this very important website and maybe there&#39;s any other questions um [Music] well in my i um have an opinion because for example in the all the to the past two years in the pandemic i read about the there&#39;s an increase in the opportunities to work remotely from latam to us for example and um there&#39;s many opportunities to work in the technology file technology files in and also uh obviously it&#39;s important to to speak right to speak influenced to have fled speaking and i don&#39;t know if you rachel have any finding about that about the increasing in the opportunities to work remotely for la down to us for example that&#39;s a good question and i think that the pandemic has really showed employers that people can be productive working remotely that they can be just as productive as working the office and employers have found that they can save money because if they don&#39;t have all the employees working in one building then they don&#39;t have to pay for the rent and so i think it probably is increasing opportunities for people in other countries to work for companies um whether it be you know i know there&#39;s a lot of call centers like in latin america but there&#39;s possibly you know opportunities for engineering because engineering think about it you&#39;re using like i know with my son he&#39;s using cad and he&#39;s designing stuff like i don&#39;t know what i&#39;m talking about but he&#39;s designing robots with cad like you can be doing that you don&#39;t even have you could be using a computer remotely in another country possibly but you can be designing the stuff and sending those those designs so i don&#39;t see why it would not be like this whole pandemic has kind of opened those opportunities i don&#39;t know like any certain sites that would be the best for you to look at but i think that&#39;s one of the benefits like we have obviously a lot of not good things that came out of the pandemic but i think one of the benefits is that employers know and have seen that people can be productive and that we can work we can work collaboratively and we can work with people in other countries and so i think that probably is going to open the doors for you but i don&#39;t have the magic here&#39;s your website to go look for these opportunities okay thank you you&#39;re welcome so i think this question inspired me to make another question about uh nowadays who are who already oriented the job interviews in terms of economic situations do they ask you something about how do you care about yourself or how do you deal with the with the restrictions uh with the covet restrictions in your job you know i i haven&#39;t seen anything in in and truthfully jose i haven&#39;t really been working in interviewing for the last couple years i&#39;ve been working in college admissions but i think they want to know that you can take like they want to know that you&#39;re going to be able to take care of yourself like like emotionally and that you&#39;re going to have good mental health so they can they might ask a question like how do you take care of yourself how do you like deal with stress because they want to know that you&#39;re going to be able to be like like emotionally wealthy well for the job and in addition i don&#39;t know if they&#39;re going to ask it like in the u.s all covert restrictions have been lifted um so i don&#39;t know that they&#39;re really going to ask about that um some places are still requiring like either vaccination or testing every week but as far as like whether or not you&#39;re going to wear a mask or whether or not like a lot of places here in the us are not going to ask that anymore i guess um and if that&#39;s where your question is getting at yeah yeah no it&#39;s better it&#39;s more clear so yeah basically because the cabinet is just getting over i mean we hope so right not getting some wood right we hope uh but yeah it was in the u.s like my co-workers not vaccinated and she my employer still still requires her to test every monday or every friday so she can come to work on monday morning uh but some employers are lifting those restrictions um i don&#39;t know around the world but in the us a lot of employers are are left in those restrictions and knock on wood hopefully that&#39;s like that&#39;s my way of like not jinxing myself knock on wood and if there&#39;s no wood around knock on wood like i don&#39;t want to jinx myself i think that we&#39;re getting around this curve and hopefully things are improving okay yeah yeah it&#39;s very important and also i&#39;d like to know if they ask you the question about uh how do you learn new things do you consider as an authoritative auto dictating person i mean i think they definitely want to know that you&#39;re continuing to learn and they may ask you like you know how do you improve yourself so that&#39;s when you might want to you know some there&#39;s a lot of like online free courses like coursera and stuff like that so you might want to mention or maybe you&#39;re using delingo to to expand and learn other languages so how are you improving yourself they definitely would like to know that and even for your field like if you&#39;re in engineering there might be different industry organizations that you can be a part of that you can be taking classes like from myself i&#39;m in education so i&#39;m part of like what we call massachusetts education opportunity organization and they have all kinds of professional development that i can take so i can let them know that i&#39;ve taken leadership classes that i&#39;ve taken these these different classes on financial aid and so on so i can let them know that i am improving myself so i think they&#39;re definitely going to want to ask that like again sometimes an interview might be 10 questions and that&#39;s it or sometimes it might be three or four interviews and you have like a panel of 10 people asking you questions and you go in for three interviews like it&#39;s crazy yeah okay so yeah definitely it&#39;s about preparing yourself for any possible situation and continuous telling because we all will need to study and know about more topics i think if you if you prepare like a good 10 to 15 different questions and you write them down and practice them they&#39;re going to be useful to answer other questions you&#39;re going to find oh i can use it tell me about myself um ask tell me about yourself i can use that to answer this question so to prepare like you know 10 to 15 like stories 10 to 15 answers and you can use them to answer various other questions i thought i saw somebody that might have been trying to ask a question yeah yes just by curiosity because i was um looking for some job opportunities in linkedin um what is the minimum salary that the states ask for when you have an in all that the state offer or for example in in california and other states minimum wage you&#39;re talking about or cause there&#39;s no salary okay so there&#39;s not a minimum salary so much but there&#39;s minimum wages in each state and there&#39;s a minimum wage for the whole entire country um and i&#39;m not exactly sure i can tell you the minimum wage for massachusetts is like 11 an hour but other states it might be 15 an hour and i think the minimum wage for the whole country is lower than that uh but as far as like different different jobs there&#39;s not like there&#39;s not stated minimum wages for them however in the us like if you&#39;re working for like a state or government jobs they will have listed this is the minimum amount that will pay for this job and this is the maximum amount they will have it on their website but private jobs don&#39;t necessarily have those they do not necessarily have the minimum maximum listed in their job description thank you you&#39;re welcome and how much does it change i mean the the minimum wage who must have to change according to the state what you are looking so like there is a lot of um a lot of legislation that they&#39;re trying to pass to have minimum wage for the whole country be fifteen dollars an hour uh and different states have have done some work to raise the minimum wage but there&#39;s al there&#39;s a fight between industry that says if you raise the minimum wage then we&#39;re going to have to lay off people because we won&#39;t be able to afford to pay as many people and then there&#39;s a fight between other people saying we need to have livable wages so that&#39;s a political fight right um so it&#39;s improving but it&#39;s a it&#39;s a long battle for that um but as far as i missed the second part of your question yeah i it was just one question about how does the minimum wage change yeah i mean it&#39;s a slow change when i was first working when i was first working minimum wage was 3.75 an hour and that was a very long time ago because i have a son that&#39;s a freshman in college um now a minimum wage in massachusetts i believe is 11 an hour so it&#39;s a slow change yeah it is just changes slightly okay and i think we can finish with the last question because we&#39;re running out of time i think we finally filled all those minions left so uh yeah i wanted to know if they asked you something about how do you deal with your family issues or oh yeah basically personal questions about how do you deal with your family or how do you interact with your parents in the u.s that&#39;s illegal you can&#39;t ask certain questions you can&#39;t ask about you can&#39;t ask about you know sexual preferences you can&#39;t ask about family you can&#39;t ask if somebody&#39;s married you can&#39;t ask you can&#39;t ask if they have children you can&#39;t ask any of those questions there&#39;s certain questions that are not allowed in an interview employers are supposed to know that they may ask these questions they may not know like somebody interviewing you might not know or they may know and pretend they don&#39;t know but there are certain questions they cannot ask i know in other countries they can i know in europe you have to like put your picture on your resume or your cv but in us no you don&#39;t do that and you don&#39;t have like they cannot ask you all those type of questions all right yeah really interesting that&#39;s changed the minds of people the culture actually so it&#39;s really like protecting your personal like protecting you from discrimination is what it&#39;s doing they can&#39;t ask if you have disability they can&#39;t ask all those things but they do like if you had some sort of disability you have to still be able to do the job like so there&#39;s certain things that the reason why they can&#39;t ask that is it&#39;s to help to prevent discrimination discrimination against if like your age they can&#39;t ask your age like you do put it on your application eventually but they can&#39;t ask your age because they&#39;re trying to prevent age discrimination so there&#39;s all these things that they&#39;re trying to prevent discrimination so they&#39;re not allowed to ask oh okay yeah very interesting it&#39;s different here in other latin american countries yes yeah so i think we can finish for now with the conference and i think it was really enriching for everyone to learn about how is the topic of common questions related to the job interviews and thanks again rachel for your absolutely my pleasure so yeah please guys i would like to encourage you to turn on your cameras and you are going to take the photo of the classical photo after it functions and there we [Music] [Music] they&#39;re left just like a participants uh when we started we were obviously we were more participants but it gets later we get tired right but thank you all for staying with us of course yeah even me i&#39;m kind of tired as well after all of this conference so um i think we are done with the with the people okay i will take the photo in three two one okay yeah it&#39;s a good one oh sorry i made a mistake with my computer please turn on your camera again at this one was not good there was a notification on my computer so three two one okay yeah this one is better all right so thanks again for participating here and thanks also for all the attendees that were um attending to this event it was really important for us to know better about how to apply your abilities to the cv how to prepare yourself for an interview and of course which are the common questions that you can find during a job interview also i&#39;d like to remind you that this sunday we&#39;re gonna continue with the inner with the conferences and we&#39;re gonna talk more about companies and oppose the environment the job environment in a in a british company and how to take some advice about starting your own business or startup in a country like poland because we&#39;ve got a participant from poland who who is an english teacher actually do you um what time is that at the same as today it&#39;s no it&#39;s actually it&#39;s gonna start one hour for uh 2 p.m i wouldn&#39;t mind listening if i&#39;m if i&#39;m invited to just listen because that would be interesting of course of course you can listen to it um 2 p.m peruvian time 2 p.m i will send you the link by send me the link i&#39;d be really interested because that would be very interesting to listen to thank you of course yeah yeah so we can finish for today all right i hope you all enjoy the presentation bye okay bye [Music] you
