Wawancara kerja dalam bahasa inggris? Waktu pertama kali ngerasain english

interview, Alhamdulillah… bikin kepala mumet, mata berkupu-kupu (diganti karena kunang-

kunang lagi mudik), perut mules, keringat dingin, gemetaran & bikin perut laper. Dengan

strategi pasang kuping lebar-lebar untuk denger per-kata + liatin gerak bibir lawan bicara

dikeluarin segala kemampuan untuk menjawab pertanyaan yang akhirnya Alhamdulillah…

gagal. Saat itu langsung evaluasi diri dan menyimpulkan kalo wawancara kerja dalam bahasa

linggis eh inggris memang menakutkan . Penyebabnya adalah kurangnya kemampuan

terutama speaking dan listening skill. Bagi semuanya yang pernah mengalami hal-hal serupa

silahkan copy–paste rangkuman interview ini, mumpung gratis dan belum diblokir. Semoga

bisa membantu.
