And facing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/job-interviews\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">English interview<\/a> with confidence requires certain skills and language. In today&#8217;s lesson, we&#8217;ll hear two interviewees demonstrate some of these skills and language. They&#8217;ll use chunks of natural language that we call \u201ccollocations\u201d to talk about their abilities.<\/p>\n<p>But what exactly is a \u201ccollocation?\u201d Well it&#8217;s a combination of words that often go together. Rather than always learning individual words, you can learn these natural chunks of language. Think about the noun \u201ccareer.\u201d Do you say \u201cfollow\u201d a career \u201cat\u201d something? No, we say \u201cpursue a career in something.\u201d That&#8217;s a collocation, and you should learn those words together as a natural combination.<\/p>\n<p>As you listen to the two different interviews in this lesson, try to pick out some of these collocations and we&#8217;ll discuss them later in the debrief.<\/p>\n<p>In the first interview, we&#8217;ll hear Dale interviewing Carla for an accounting job at an insurance company. Dale is asking Carla about her weaknesses and her career plans, two common tough interview questions. In the second interview, we&#8217;ll hear Sofia interviewing Joseph for a management job. She asks Joseph to talk about his interpersonal and leadership skills, and his attitude to personal development.<\/p>\n<p>Listening Questions<\/p>\n<p>1.\tWhat is Carla&#8217;s ultimate goal in the insurance industry?<br \/>\n2.\tWhat does Joseph say about his relationship with direct reports?<br \/>\n3.\tWhat two qualities does Joseph say help him in leadership roles?<\/p>\n<p>[tp
