very exotic name
where are you from yes I'm from Brazil
Oh Brazil
you must love soccer my my little Timmy
he plays on a team in our neighborhood
no actually I'd never play soccer oh you
don't have soccer okay well tell me how
long have you been in the United States
I have been in the United States for two
years okay very good
yes I love it here and I take it English
is your second language
yes oh that's right - well I am working
on my English every day I'm learning new
things and I love learning I have
learned many many things being here in
two years and I know that of course I
can work on my accent but I can tell you
that every day I'm learning more oh well
you uh you're speaking quite well now
have you ever worked in an
english-speaking environment before what
were you doing before you came to the
United States yes actually
I worked in Brazil as an administrative
assistant and I had many clients to work
with from all over the world actually in
Brazil I was working with people of the
United States and England and Australia
so from many countries speaking English
and also from other countries such as
Germany France and Portugal of course so
yes I enjoyed very much working with
people from all over the world and I
think that I can relate well with
clients from different countries
yes I'm very used to making people from
different cultures feel welcome okay
very good so what I hear you saying is
that it won't be a problem for you to
communicate with others on our
team and perhaps you could even improve
our team environment yes if for example
I like to have a coffee with my
coworkers maybe on a break time and get
to know each other better get to know
about each other's lives and it's a good
way I think to really become better in
the work environment together because I
can understand and relate and build
trust and become really important parts
of the team and to make others feel
important too so about being a team
player I think it's very important and I
enjoy to organize I enjoy to support and
maybe to help other people to share
their opinions and to encourage them yes
and I love to share my experience and
ideas that come from working with people
from all over the world and in Brazil so
yes I hope that I can contribute my
experience and what I have learned yes
in this position okay tell me more about
your experience learning English it has
it taught me to be humble and you know
to learn from my mistakes so I think
it's a very good lesson in life in
general to be able to correct my
mistakes and do better each time with
the English language and in life in
general and work okay very good see yes
maybe you could help Linda because
sometimes she gets upset easily with
others if she thinks that they ate the
last donut in the break room okay well
wonderful I'm so glad that you came in
thank you for your time yes very nice to
you thank you very much thank you for
your time okay I look forward to hearing
from you and we'll be in touch I don't

with Hinata
she took her learning English as a
Second Language and made it into a
superpower in that interview here's how
she did it in five quick steps first of
all she admitted that she's still
working on her English so she turned
this into a positive thing instead of
saying oh my English is horrible I know
I'm so sorry no she kept it positive and
she talked about how much she loves
learning that is so good second she
talks about her experience of working
with people from different countries and
how that makes her really good at
working with clients from all over the
world this was a very sought-after skill
and not everyone has it third she talked
about how this same experience makes her
a better team player and how she really
enjoys forming deep and lasting
relationships with her coworkers fourth
she talks about how making mistakes as a
language learner has helped her to learn
how to learn from those mistakes and how
to correct those mistakes and learn
quickly very very smart and very humble
finally five she talks about how her
experience and how her background being
from another country speaking another
language actually gives her a fresh
perspective that she can contribute to
the workplace I love it Hinata I think
that she really hates this interview
