Interviewer (Laura): Good morning, Daniel, thanks for coming in today.
Candidate (Daniel): Good morning, Laura, thank you for inviting me to the interview.

Laura: Let’s start with a brief introduction, could you tell me a little about yourself?
Daniel: Sure, I recently finished my degree in Business Administration, and I’m looking for my first full-time position in an international company.

Laura: Great, and why did you decide to apply for this entry-level role in our company?
Daniel: I’ve been following your company for a while, and I like your focus on innovation and customer service, so I think it’s a good place to learn and grow.

Laura: What relevant experience do you have, even if it’s not a full-time job?
Daniel: I did a six-month internship in a small marketing agency, where I helped with social media reports and basic client presentations.

Laura: That sounds useful. What were your main responsibilities during that internship?
Daniel: I collected data from different platforms, updated weekly spreadsheets and supported the team with simple slides for meetings.

Laura: Which skills do you think you developed the most there?
Daniel: I improved my Excel and PowerPoint skills, and I also learned how to manage my time better when there were several deadlines.

Laura: Apart from technical skills, how would you describe your communication skills?
Daniel: I would say I’m clear and polite, and I’m not afraid to ask questions when something is not fully clear to me.

Laura: This role involves working in a small team, how do you usually work with others?
Daniel: I enjoy working in a team, I like to listen first and then give my opinion, and I try to be flexible if we need to change plans.

Laura: Can you give me an example of a situation where you had to solve a problem?
Daniel: During my internship, one of the reports had missing data, so I contacted the client, explained the situation and asked for the information we needed to complete the report on time.

Laura: How do you handle pressure when you have several tasks at the same time?
Daniel: I usually make a simple list, set priorities with my supervisor if necessary, and then focus on one task at a time so I don’t get overwhelmed.

Laura: Let’s talk about your technical knowledge, what software tools are you comfortable with?
Daniel: I use Excel, Word and PowerPoint on a daily basis, and I also have basic experience with Google Analytics and some CRM systems.

Laura: This position requires a good level of English; how would you rate your English skills?
Daniel: I would say my level is around B2, I can work in English, write emails and take part in meetings without major problems.

Laura: That’s good to hear. Are you willing to keep improving your English if the job requires it?
Daniel: Absolutely, I’m already taking online classes, and I’m happy to continue studying if it helps me do my job better.

Laura: Now I’d like to ask about your availability, when could you start if we offer you the position?
Daniel: I’m available to start in two weeks, so I have enough time to organize everything and finish a short course I’m doing.

Laura: Are you open to working some extra hours during busy periods?
Daniel: Yes, I understand that there are times when the workload is higher, and I’m willing to be flexible when needed.

Laura: Do you prefer remote work, office work, or a mix of both?
Daniel: I’m comfortable with both, but I think a mix would be ideal, especially at the beginning, so I can learn directly from my colleagues.

Laura: Do you have any questions for me about the role or the company?
Daniel: Yes, I’d like to know what a typical day looks like in this position and what kind of training I would receive at the start.

Laura: That’s a good question, we offer a two-week onboarding program with training sessions and a mentor who supports you with your first tasks.
Daniel: That sounds very helpful, I think having a mentor would make it easier to adapt to the new environment.

Laura: Well, Daniel, thank you for your time today, we’ll review all the candidates and get back to you next week.
Daniel: Thank you very much, Laura, it was a pleasure to meet you and learn more about the position.

Uso de presente continuo para situación actual
“I’m looking for my first full-time position…”
Describe una situación actual y en curso (lo que estás buscando ahora).

Uso de pasado simple para experiencia concreta
“I did a six-month internship…”
“I helped with social media reports…”
Se narran experiencias pasadas con acciones específicas, por eso se usa pasado simple, no present perfect.

Uso de present perfect para experiencia conectada al presente
En el diálogo: “I’ve been following your company for a while.”
Significa que empezó en el pasado y sigue siendo verdad ahora: encaja muy bien con el interés actual por la empresa.

Estructuras de probabilidad y facilidad B2
“I can work in English, write emails and take part in meetings without major problems.”
Uso de can para capacidad + without major problems para expresar confianza sin parecer arrogante.

Respuestas estructuradas con conectores sencillos
“First…, and I also…”,
“During my internship, … so I … and …”
Aunque el nivel es B2, las estructuras son claras, con conectores simples (and, so, also). No hace falta complicarse para sonar profesional.

Hablar bien de uno mismo sin parecer arrogante
En español a veces evitamos “vendernos”. En inglés, en una entrevista, se espera que hables de tus puntos fuertes de manera clara.
El candidato dice cosas como:
“I improved my Excel and PowerPoint skills.”
“I’m not afraid to ask questions when something is not fully clear to me.”
No es presumir, es describir hechos y habilidades.

Tono positivo y orientado al aprendizaje
Frases como:
“I think it’s a good place to learn and grow.”
“I’m happy to continue studying if it helps me do my job better.”
Transmiten actitud de aprendizaje continuo, muy valorada en culturas laborales anglófonas.

Responder con ejemplos concretos
A la pregunta de problemas o presión, no contesta con teoría general tipo “trabajo bien bajo presión”, sino con un ejemplo:
“During my internship, one of the reports had missing data, so I contacted the client…”
Este estilo basado en ejemplos (similar al método STAR: Situation, Task, Action, Result) es muy habitual.

Importancia de hacer preguntas al final
En inglés, terminar con “no questions” puede parecer desinterés.
El candidato pregunta:
“What a typical day looks like…”
“What kind of training I would receive…”
Eso sugiere que está pensando de verdad en el puesto y en cómo encajaría en él.

Estructura sencilla para responder “Tell me about yourself”
Puedes usar este esquema en inglés:
Pasado breve: “I recently finished my degree in…”
Presente: “Right now I’m looking for my first full-time position in…”
Futuro cercano: “I’d like to grow in an international company where I can use and improve my [skills].”

Cómo hablar de experiencia limitada
Aunque solo tengas prácticas o proyectos:
“I did a [X]-month internship where I helped with…”
“I supported the team by [tareas concretas].”
Evita “I have no experience”; cámbialo por algo como:
“My experience is mainly from internships and university projects, but they taught me how to…”

Cómo hablar de habilidades
Elige 2–3 habilidades clave y conéctalas con ejemplos:
“I improved my time management skills when I had several deadlines during my internship.”
“I developed my communication skills by presenting simple reports to the team every week.”

Cómo hablar de tu nivel de inglés
En vez de solo decir “B2”, combina nivel y uso real:
“I’d say my level is around B2. I can write emails, read reports and take part in meetings in English.”

Cómo responder a la disponibilidad
Evita respuestas vagas tipo “as soon as possible” (a menos que te pregunten específicamente).
Mejor algo como:
“I’m available to start in two weeks.”
“I can start immediately, but I’d prefer one week to organize everything.”

Qué preguntar al final
Ten preparadas 1–2 preguntas seguras:
“What does a typical day look like in this position?”
“What kind of training or support do new employees usually receive?”
Con esto demuestras interés y ganas de integrarte.

Para desenvolverte bien en una entrevista básica en inglés necesitas:
Dominar vocabulario de perfil, experiencia y disponibilidad: degree, internship, entry-level position, skills, strengths, availability, start date.
Usar expresiones estándar de entrevista: “I’m looking for…”, “I decided to apply because…”, “I developed my skills by…”, “I usually handle pressure by…”.
Organizar tus respuestas con estructuras simples pero claras y terminar haciendo al menos una pregunta sobre el puesto o la empresa.

Si preparas tus ideas en este formato y practicas decirlas en voz alta, podrás mantener una entrevista a nivel B2 con mucha más seguridad y naturalidad.
