hey there i'm drew badger the world's
world's number one english fluency
fluency guide and it is a pleasure
pleasure to welcome you to another
another advanced listening practice
practice lesson if you want to actually
actually practice your fluency you
you might want to just practice saying
saying that same introductory sentence
sentence that I say every time and
and over time you practice saying
saying that it will help you develop
develop more fluency because you will
will get the tone in the speed of
of the way I'm speaking and you will
will start getting more confidence
confidence to remember other things
things and try to make your sentences
sentences longer and longer anyway
anyway let's begin with this lesson
lesson I don't want to speak too quickly
quickly in this one I'll try to speak
speak you know a little bit little
little bit faster than usual but I
I have some important information
information for people and I want
want to make sure everyone understands
understands it this
this is another requested video people
people continue to ask me questions
questions about work specifically
specifically and job interviews i
i know a lot of people out there suppose
suppose subscribers specifically are
are learning English to either improve
improve their job situation maybe
maybe to get more clients more customers
customers order to get a promotion
promotion within their particular
particular company or they're looking
looking to get a new job or to begin
begin their career doing something
something so what I'd like to talk
talk about in this video and again
again i'm not an expert about this
this because I'm an entrepreneur and
and most of the time the jobs that
that I've found I've just walked in
in and just say hey like I see you
you have this problem and I'm happy
happy to help you with that could
could I you know help you out with
with that would you like my help and
and most people just hire me to do
do whatever i've never really struggled
struggled to get a job or have like
like gone through many many many job
job interviews so I'm again i'm not
not an expert about that but with
with the information i do have hopefully
hopefully it should be helpful for
for you and you can learn quite a
a bit more about how to improve your
your job situation or how to do but
but do better in a job interview now
now a job interview is basically the
the same thing as any other selling
selling situation all you're doing
doing is you're trying to communicate
communicate the value you have to
to the person that you're speaking
speaking with so a lot of people are
are looking for specific phrases they
they can use in a job interview and
and in this video what I'd like to
to make more important or to impress
impress upon you is that it's not
not so much about the words that you
you use and you might even make a
a mistake about a grand a point
a point or two or a bit of a vocabulary
vocabulary words you can see even
even right now maybe I make a mistake
mistake when I see a particular word
word or you know something like that
that but you notice i say something
something like that a lot of men saying
saying that lately and i noticed people
people putting that in the comments
comments to so feel free you can put
put that was something like that maybe
maybe i'll go through a phrase where
where I will start saying something
something else but now I'm like I'm
I'm conscious of it so I'm saying
saying it more it's
it's a little bit embarrassing actually
actually but hey that's what happens
happens something like that anyway
anyway so getting back to the the
the job interviews when you're in
in a situation where you're selling
selling things and you're selling
selling yourself in that situation
situation so you're trying to present
present again the value have the reason
reason why that company should hire
hire you as opposed to somebody else
else there's really two pieces of
of information that the company cares
cares about the first one is like
like what can you do for the company
company and then are you the kind
kind of person that can actually achieve
achieve that job so typically a company
company has a specific job that needs
needs to be filled and that's the
the thing that they need and then
then you are the person that needs
needs to fill that position or maybe
maybe somebody else's but those are
are the most important to pieces of
of information that they need what
what is the job and are you the person
person they can fill it so the more
more number-one information you know
know about the company itself before
before you go to the interview the
the more equipped you will be the
the more ready you will be to actually
actually solve problems for them and
and answer questions in the job interview
interview itself so let's say like
like as an example I so back when
when I was in high school I started
started working at a local pet store
store I used to just walk into that
that pet store and I would go there
there really like animals and pets
pets and things and so that was really
really like the closest thing like
like to my house we'd have a zoo like
like right around my area there was
was actually there are two big zoos
zoos in Chicago but nothing really
really around my house I would go
go hang out at the pet store just
just because it was fun to talk to
to the staff and look at the animals
animals and I kind of developed a
a little bit of reputation there about
about knowing you know quite a bit
bit about the animals and trying to
to help people there you know even
even like people would ask me if I
I was just you know they're like as
as i was working there or if I'm just
just an employee or just a customer
customer there but I said hey like
like I really enjoy helping you guys
guys out and I know like it looks
looks like you could use a little
little bit more help with your designs
designs for the actual display cases
cases and if you did the better you
you would probably sell more stuff
stuff and so this is what I explained
explained to the owner of the store
store and he said alright fine will
will hire you and so they gave me
me the job now in that case i'm kind
kind of looking for a position or
or creating a position for myself
myself before they have one available
available but what I'm really doing
doing is showing them that they have
have a problem and then I'm stepping
stepping in to solve that problem
problem for them and demonstrating
demonstrating why I'm the person to
to do that as opposed to somebody
somebody else so any typical job interview
interview maybe they already have
have the problem that they want solved
solved like they're looking for a
a particular person to do something
something or they want to create a
a like a software or they want to
to create a new branch for you know
know there for their company and they're
they're looking for something that
that can or someone that can fill
fill that position so regardless of
of you know typically I actually highly
highly recommend you try to do the
the the way I do it which is you're
you're thinking about a specific place
place you want to work and then you
you learn about that company and figure
figure out what their weak points
points are what are they struggling
struggling with the things that you
you notice in the same way that i
i went to the pet store and I noticed
noticed a like your cages look really
really boring and like the the reason
reason that you're not really like
like selling enough of this other
other stuff is because you don't show
show people exactly how to use it
it inside the cages and so people
people don't make that connection
connection between I ok like they
they got all this stuff here it's
it's the same philosophy behind showing
showing all the furniture set up nicely
nicely in a room as opposes having
having it lined up on the wall because
because a lot of people they want
want to have nice furniture in their
their home but they don't really have
have a good sense for how to design
design it so it's the same kind of
of thing but a skill that i had was
was noticing that and then showing
showing that I could actually do a
a good job of you know designing those
those things such that they could
could move more merchandise they could
could sell more animals and sell more
more you know equipment other things
things like that things like that
that and so when I talk with them
them this was me creating a job position
position that they didn't really that
that they didn't have available they
they weren't advertising that but
but lots of companies are open to
to those kinds of things especially
especially if you're willing to work
work for free so if you go to a place
place and say hey I noticed you guys
guys are having a problem with this
this or I notice you guys really do
do a great job with this but
but there's something else that you're
you're lacking here i'd love to help
help you out with that and
and if you're willing to work for
for free you can work basically anywhere
anywhere so lots of the other positions
positions i had like even coming to
to Japan to study gardening I said
said hey I've got a really good design
design sense and i'm here to learn
learn and I'll do lots of work for
for you and i'll do it for free lots
lots of people were willing to have
have me come work for them and they
they taught me and then I developed
developed a good relationship which
which you know he could lead to a
a painting thing after a while but
but especially if you're young and
and you just want experience be willing
willing to work for free so you're
you're working to learn as opposed
opposed to working to earn now I know
know a lot of people are looking for
for specific jobs but just letting
letting you know that maybe you opened
opened up a newspaper and you don't
don't see a specific job that you're
you're interested in all like I really
really want to work in a software
software company but no software companies
companies are having like job positions
positions in my particular you know
know location or something like that
that
that now
now that doesn't mean that there are
are actual jobs available just like
like I went to the pet store and I
I created the job for myself you
you can do the same thing so if you
you have a particular company that
that you like I know another friend
friend of mine he's done that a couple
couple of times so he just went to
to a company said hey you guys do
do this really great thing and I'm
I'm really good at doing this and
and I'd love to help you with that
that thing as well so i can learn
learn something in the same time that
that I'm helping you guys with something
something and it usually works out
out to be a great arrangement so he's
he's found a couple of jobs doing
doing that before people were actually
actually hiring for specific positions
positions so if you do the same thing
thing again in that sales position
position you're looking for what the
the problem is or what you know whatever
whatever that particular thing is
is and then you're showing how you
you are particularly positioned to
to solve that problem for them so
so when you go to the job it's not
not about specific vocabulary it's
it's more number one showing that
that you understand the company and
and what they're trying to accomplish
accomplish and then showing how your
your skills fit in with that and then
then how you can actually demonstrate
demonstrate your willingness to do
do that even for free if you just
just want to start something out but
but if you're really good like I told
told the pets Tarzan hey like I'm
I'm really good at what I do it like
like if you need me to work for free
free for a little bit just to show
show you I can actually do this and
and create real value for you i'm
i'm happy to do that so if you do
do that it's basically a situation
situation where you're guaranteeing
guaranteeing the company great value
value and will be much more likely
likely to employees there are lots
lots of like kind of more basic things
things that we can cover about that
that if maybe you want to learn more
more we can talk about that again
again like I'm not like here to teach
teach people specific phrases about
about like job interviews are more
more trying to give you the bigger
bigger picture idea of selling yourself
yourself as a way of communicating
communicating in a job interview such
such that you can talk about the problems
problems and the company and then
then how you can solve that with yourself
yourself because again i'm doing the
the exact same things with these lessons
lessons so I like have a problem or
or the the learners the the people
people that watch my videos maybe
maybe you other people again it could
could be teachers or but mostly learners
learners these people have a specific
specific problem with fluency in the
the so they're coming to me they're
they're watching these videos and
and maybe just like you you're watching
watching these videos so you can improve
improve your fluency so you have a
a problem i create a solution for
for that and so you're kind of hiring
hiring me in the same way so this
this is almost like a job interview
interview process so i'm demonstrating
demonstrating how i can solve a particular
particular problem for you and it
it makes you want to hire me in order
order to solve your problem even if
if it's just you know watching more
more videos like this as opposed to
to watch something else so
so when you're thinking about a job
job interview yes there are maybe
maybe specific phrases where people
people are saying like tell me about
about your work experience other things
things like that but that's kind of
of a typical job interview and you
you can really control the job interview
interview much more if you say well
well I'd love to tell you about my
my experience but I noticed you guys
guys have like a particular problem
problem with this and i really wanted
wanted to help with that thing I think
think your company is fantastic i
i really want to work with you guys
guys to help solve that and i think
think i could learn a lot in the process
process so i'd love to start working
working for you even if I had to start
start working with you for free just
just to demonstrate the value that
that I have now people may not be
be able to work for free but you know
know especially if you're looking
looking for work and you're not earning
earning money right now it's better
better to work for free and some company
company and learn something that it
it is to just continue looking for
for work even so you're just getting
getting that job experience but i'll
i'll leave it for that for now so
so hopefully you've enjoyed that and
and you can try to think more about
about how you're actually selling
selling by solving a problem that
that that company has be thinking
thinking about that in the job interview
interview process and also really
really just try to step outside of
of the job interview this
this and think about the things around
around the job interview so can you
you get to the company before they're
they're even looking for people show
show them that they have a problem
problem and then demonstrate how you
you can fix that and then that's what
what you're gonna have what's
what's going to help you get to get
get hired by that company much faster
faster or you know even create a position
position that they hadn't even anticipated
anticipated before but hope you enjoyed
enjoyed this video it's been a pleasure
pleasure talking about this and hopefully
hopefully if you have more questions
questions you can put them down in
in the comments below but again your
your pride plenty of people here on
on YouTube that can teach you how
how to have a better interview but
but hopefully this month this way
way of thinking will be the most important
important tip of all have a fantastic
