    4 techniques to have an outstanding interview :
    1. Be concise
    2. Using linking words ( for example, firstly, therefore, however, besides...)
    3. Using STAR method to structure your answer ( situation,task, action, result)
    4. Mirroring key words and phrases

    Q:Why do you want this job?
    A: Because creativity is very important to me and I’ve always wanted to work in an environment where I can innovate and find my own solutions to challenges. I also feel like that your company will continue to evolve in the future, and I like the idea of contributing to that development.

Good luck for all people that are looking for a job.

    Terrible answer to the question: where do you see yourself five years from now? HR is not looking for someone to start their own business outside the company. You always want to focus your learning and grow inside the company you are applying to.

    I have found job interviews in english and other job ones in my native language frightening so much so that I have only applied for Convergys to get the Customee service rep position job only once in mid July in 2017. I like the fact the dress code is rather not that strict and formal but the salary leaves much more to be desired considering the fact that for anyone to get fluent takes years of dedication and money, of course.

Some employers from China, Korea, Japan even can not talk english fluently. Some of them can speak but not clear to hear, so candidates must guess what they ask and answer uncertainly :D

    This video helped me but the interviewer didn’t ask me any of them! There are other questions:
    ¿What do you like most about your job?
    ¿What do you do in your job? ¿and in your previous one?
    ¿Why are you applying? ¿and why do you think it’s a big opportunity?
    By the way, I passed it!! Good luck everyone!!
