You need to sell yourself to the employer by convincing them that you have the knowledge, skills, and experience they need. But when you&#8217;re interviewing for your first job, it gets a little trickier as you probably don&#8217;t have that much work experience. So, you need to show the interviewer why your college experience makes you the best candidate for the job.<\/p>\n<p>In this lesson, we&#8217;ll focus on ways to highlight that experience and relate it to the job during an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/job-interviews\/\" title=\"interview in English\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interview in English<\/a>. We&#8217;ll talk about extra-curricular activities, internships, and gap years. And, we&#8217;ll look at ways to differentiate yourself from the competition and prove that you&#8217;re the best person for the job.<\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s dialog, we&#8217;ll rejoin Owen, who is interviewing for a test engineer position at IBH, an electronics company. He&#8217;s in the middle of a panel interview with Erica and Cindy, two HR reps, and George, who&#8217;s in charge of engineering at the printers division of IBH.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Name one thing Owen did for his school&#8217;s robotics team.<br \/>\n2. Why did Owen decide to intern at Lu Tech?<br \/>\n3.
