It seems that both technology and individuality have caught your attention the most. In the story we're going to share with you, these topics are spiced up with a touch of love (because we know you wanted that too 😉). So here's 'EPICAC' by Kurt Vonnegut for you: on love, life, and machines.

Please read it carefully and thoughtfully, and be prepared to discuss it this Tuesday, October 17th 🤜

👻 Hi, guys! Whether you're planning to switch jobs or embark on a new career journey abroad, we want to help you with a list of resources and tips that will assist you in nailing your job interview in English. Here they are:

🍃 Numerous interview questions with answers (please don't forget to adapt these answers to your personal experience).
🍃 Nice behavioral interview questions and tips - it mainly deals with Amazon, but fear not, as many other companies also use this approach.
🍃 If you're in IT, check out Pramp; it offers some really good free options for training with peers.
🍃 One more source for software engineers looking to brake into FAANG (paid though)⚰️
🍃 Obviously, try to practice your speaking by using Google's interview warm-up. There, you can choose the field in which you want to practice and receive a more tailored set of questions.
🍃 Moreover, if you would like to test yourself in a written format, you can always practice with ChatGPT. Here is a well-balanced prompt to get you started:

'I am applying for <job title> at <company name>. I have a background in <mention your key experiences, skills, and background>. Here is the job description: <paste job description>. Could you generate a comprehensive list of common interview questions specific to this role based on my background and the provided job description?'

Most people tend to think that in order to pass the interview, you need to memorize the answers to all possible questions. While this definitely helps, you should understand that it is not a magic cure. Before the interview, try to speak more in English, or even better, visit our free speaking event (even if the topic is unrelated to your interview, it is still practice, and it really helps 🐸)

Regardless of your goal, we are confident that you'll be able to achieve the desired outcome. So, do your best and forget the rest 😎
