Why Should We Hire You? - Business English Conversation for the Office and Workplace

[Music] hey marcus how's the job search going not so great

actually it's really frustrating why is that i've submitted my resume and applications to over 10 places

and i've only gotten one interview that is rough how did the interview go it was okay i was nervous and i think i spoke really fast

ultimately they gave the job to someone with more experience well don't worry in life you have to pass failure to meet up with success

[Applause] are there any other places hiring there are a few left on my list i'm still going to apply to as many jobs as possible

but there are a lot of other people looking for the same jobs there's a lot of competition these days for jobs and business i'll keep asking around to see if any of my other friends have openings in their

companies thanks i appreciate it relax you will find the right job at the right time

you speak two languages fluently there are plenty of companies that have great jobs for people who are bilingual yeah that's a big plus

thanks i appreciate the support how about you guys how's your work going for me this past year has been incredible

i have the job of my dreams the pay and perks they are offering are stupendous perks like what health insurance free gym membership

paid time off and company car i bet you are relishing every bit of it

fine with it i love my job how about you nate my work has become topsy-turvy these days
