Contoh Percakapan Bahasa Inggris: Interview kerja: pertanyaan pembuka

Olivia: Hi Bayu, I'm Olivia from the HR team at Arunika Logistics. Thanks for joining the call. Can you hear me clearly?

✓ Yes, I can hear you clearly. Thank you for inviting me, Olivia.

Jawab dulu soal suara, lalu berterima kasih. Pembukanya singkat, dan interview bisa langsung mulai.

✗ Yes, very clear, Miss Olivia. Thank you very much for invite me to join this interview today. (Bisa dipahami, tapi kurang pas)

Setelah for pakai bentuk -ing: Thank you for inviting me. Panggil saja Olivia, karena Miss + nama depan jarang dipakai di interview.

✗ Yes. Before we start, how much is the salary for this job? (Kurang tepat)

Menanyakan gaji di menit pertama memberi kesan kamu hanya peduli uang. Tunggu sampai pewawancara membahasnya, dan cukup jawab: Yes, I can hear you clearly.

Olivia: Great. Let's get started. Could you tell me a little about yourself?

✓ Sure. I'm a customer service specialist with three years of experience at an online travel company, where I handle complaints from local and international customers.

Langsung ke profesi dan pengalaman, plus relative clause (where I handle...). Olivia mendengar hal yang relevan dengan posisinya, bukan riwayat hidup.

✗ My name is Bayu, I am twenty-seven years old, I am graduated from a university in Bandung, and my hobby is playing futsal with my friends. (Bisa dipahami, tapi kurang pas)

'I am graduated' salah; pakai I graduated from... Fokuskan juga ke pengalaman kerja, bukan umur atau hobi.

✗ What do you want to know? Everything is in my CV. (Kurang tepat)

Menyuruh pewawancara membaca CV memberi kesan kamu malas menjelaskan. Ceritakan dengan kata-katamu sendiri: I'm a customer service specialist with three years of experience.

Olivia: Thank you, Bayu. And why do you want to join Arunika Logistics?

✓ I've followed your growth for a while, and I really like your focus on small businesses. I'd love to help them grow.

Alasannya spesifik soal perusahaan (focus on small businesses) dan dikaitkan dengan peranmu. Olivia tahu kamu sudah riset sebelum melamar.

✗ Because your company is very famous and big, so I want to join. (Bisa dipahami, tapi kurang pas)

Because dan so jangan dipakai bersamaan, dan alasannya terlalu umum. Sebutkan hal spesifik: I really like your focus on small businesses.

✗ Honestly, my office now is too far. I spend three hours in traffic every day. (Kurang tepat)

Alasan pribadi seperti jarak tidak menunjukkan minat pada perusahaan. Lebih baik: I really like your focus on small businesses.

Olivia: Okay, thanks. If we offer you the position, when would you be able to start?

✓ I need to give my current company one month's notice, so I could start about four weeks after signing the contract.

Jujur soal notice period dan memberi perkiraan yang jelas. Olivia melihat kamu keluar dari kantor lama dengan cara yang baik.

✗ I can start since next month, after I resign from my office. (Bisa dipahami, tapi kurang pas)

Since untuk titik awal di masa lalu, jadi untuk masa depan cukup I can start next month. Ganti juga resign from my office dengan after I leave my current job.

✗ Tomorrow is also possible! I will just stop coming to my office, because honestly I don't like my boss there very much. (Kurang tepat)

Pergi tanpa pemberitahuan dan menjelekkan atasan membuat Olivia khawatir kamu akan melakukan hal yang sama di sini. Jawab: I have a one-month notice period.
