Are you worried your English isn't good enough to get the job you want?

It's the day of your job interview. You know that you will be a great employee. But... you have doubts about your conversational skills. The first interview is your chance to impress the hiring manager! Once you're in the room (or on the call), the pressure can be intense.

Does this sound like you?

  • Not enough time to study.

    You know you need to work on grammar, and speaking, and listening, and writing, and reading... but there's just not enough time for it all! Especially if you also need to focus on work-related vocabulary.

  • You don't know WHAT to study.

    Because you're short on time, you need to focus on the exact steps to preparing for this interview. Other Business English programs are too broad or vague.

  • You need to know what interviewers want to hear.

    Even if you're comfortable with day-to-day conversations... How do you know what to talk about with a hiring manager? You need to know exactly what they want you to talk about.
