Recursos

Llegará ese momento, si te lo propones, donde tengas que comunicarte en inglés en una entrevista de trabajo. Vamos a prepararte para ello.

En una entrevista de trabajo

Las típicas preguntas en una entrevista en español te las realizarán en inglés. Si tienes experiencia en entrevistas de trabajo, ya sabes qué respuestas practicar. De lo contrario, aquí tienes una lista de las preguntas más habituales para puestos de trabajo relacionados con desarrollo de software.

Preguntas típicas de una entrevista

Prepara la respuesta a algunas preguntas normales de cualquier entrevista de trabajo.

  • I want to know more about you.
  • With which technologies have you worked?
  • Why did you switch jobs?
  • Why do you want to work here?
  • What has been your more challenging project?

Tus propias preguntas

Está muy bien visto que tú hagas tus propias preguntas sobre las cosas que quieres saber o indagar sobre la empresa. Veamos algunos ejemplos:

  • How do your teams work here?
  • Do you have any policies about conferences and events like that?
  • How do you support your junior developers when they join the company?

Recuerda que Platzi está para prepararte en todo. Con el Curso de Inglés para Entrevistas de Trabajo estarás listo o lista para afrontar esa entrevista en inglés y ser aceptado en esa empresa que tanto deseas.

Great example of an actual job interview!

I love they did the full interview, pointing it out common situations like being nervous and ways to react to trick questions.

Es genial como muestran este ejemplo, pero hay un tema, es un escenario controlado, normalmente en una entrevista hoy en día es por teléfono o videollamada y los microfonos que usan en esas llamadas son pesimas y no se les entiende absolutamente nada, haciendo pesanr que uno no sabe inglès, en este ejemplo, le entendí un 90% de lo que decian, eso, es un tema. No lo vean como negativo, sino, trabajen mucho en su “listening” y practiquen mucho!

My favourite class so far!

Damn this was exactly as my last interview, the only difference is mine was online, and there are several disadvantages!

  1. Network Issues can lead to misunderstand lots of things.
  2. Microphones doesn’t always works as expected or its quality is not the best.

My advices for you guys, from someone that passed the interview and now I am working in a big tech company in just 8 months of learning:

Just practice a lot your english, your listening and speaking skills, mostly conversational, and have lots of talks with everyone, this going to help you a lot.

Typical questions from the interviewer:

  • I want to know more about you.
  • With which technologies have you worked?
  • Why did you switch jobs?
  • Why do you want to work here?
  • Tell me, what has been your more challenging project?
    Some recommended answers:
  • I decided I wanted to get into software development.
  • We use react mostly, but I also learned how to do deployment to AWS.
  • We used a lot of ruby rails.
  • Your mission is very important. It’s really moving what you’re doing in your company. I also read about your values that are aligned.
  • We had to build a complete communication system for a satellite.

This is pure gold. Thanks a lot for the course, and this particular role play is priceless for juniors.
BTW I’m also very good at failing 😂 good to know some companies value that skill 🤣

The video’s angles are like a pokemon battle 😁

I have had questions like:

  • What is your greatest weakness?
  • Tell me about the project that you proud

Good actor!

If programming was an anime 2 This video is awesome for those technical interviews 😂😂

What a wonderful example!
I really enjoyed this job interview!

It reminds me of some job interviews, at first feeling a little nervous, but with practice and taking more interviews it has really helped me a lot to prepare myself to answer all the typical questions that are given in an interview.

I’m in love with the way that you break the third wall.

That’s a tipical interview. oh, and by the way, the answer to the trick question was “unscoped”.
.
The kind of question you get asked will show you what kind of company you will working in.
.
Pay attention to that and it’s okay to walk away from an interview where the questions don’t feel good for you.
.
You are a software developer, you can find plentyof opportunities, and you don’t have to tolerate questions like that.

these three questions are very common but relax, practice and learn to answer them

Nice!

This class was amazing, If you know find info in the documentation this is a good skill as developer

You guys rock! Not only for being awesome actors but for the great content you give! 👏👏

This felt like really well inside my heart. I was picturing myself rocking at the interview and often I pray for having an opportunity like this one. I think I’m ready to work with an English-speaking developer team.

OMG you know what, in my last interview I have this can of question and I felt very bad for don’t know the answer.

2:49 breaking the fourth wall, LOL!

It was an excellent example.

What a great value in only 7 minutes!.

What an amazing class, I enjoyed it a lot.

Great scene

Excellent exercise, very useful for people with no experience in that

It was a really interesting role play, I had never seen an interview in English. Thank u so much!

### **TIPS AND TOPICS FOR A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER INTERVIEW** ### **1. Opening the interview** * **Make a positive first impression**: * Be polite and enthusiastic. * Thank the interviewer for the opportunity. * **Example**:*“Thank you for having me. I’m excited to be here.”* ### **2. Introducing yourself** * **Prepare a short personal introduction**: * Share your background and experience. * Explain how you transitioned into software development if applicable. * **Example**:*“I studied biology but switched to software development, taking online courses and working on projects. My first job was as a junior developer, and I’ve gained experience with React, AWS, Ruby on Rails, and PostgreSQL.”* ### **3. Explaining career changes** * **Be clear about why you changed jobs**: * Focus on what you learned and how it aligns with your career goals. * Show interest in gaining broader skills, such as moving from front-end to full-stack development. * **Example**:*“I wanted to gain full-stack experience, so I switched jobs to work on Ruby on Rails projects.”* ### **4. Showing interest in the company** * **Research the company beforehand**: * Understand its mission and values. * Express how the company’s culture aligns with your goals. * **Example**:*“I appreciate your focus on honesty and learning from failure—it’s a great fit for my growth mindset.”* ### **5. Handling technical questions** * **Stay calm if you don’t know an answer**: * It’s okay to admit that you’d look it up using documentation. * Some questions might be designed to test your approach, not just your memory. * **Example response to a technical question**: *“I’d look it up in the documentation. I use it often, as it ensures accuracy.”* * **Pro tip**: Tricky questions (like the “unscoped” example) may be more about problem-solving than testing your recall. ### **6. Discussing past projects** * **Prepare stories about challenging projects**: * Describe the project, the obstacles you faced, and what you learned. * Highlight teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance. * **Example**:*“We built a satellite communication system as part of an online course. It was a tough project, but collaborating with others helped me overcome challenges and build something amazing.”* ### **7. Asking the interviewer questions** * **Prepare thoughtful questions** about the company’s work process and culture. * Ask how teams operate and if there are opportunities to grow. * **Examples**: * “How do your teams organize their work?” * “What opportunities are there for junior developers to learn and grow?” ### **8. Understanding the next steps** * **Be ready for follow-up tasks**: * Some interviews include homework or technical tasks. * Be positive about these assignments—they can give you a chance to show your skills and meet the team. * **Example**:*“I’ll work on the project and look forward to meeting the team for the code review.”* ### **9. Dealing with tricky interview questions** * **Assess the company’s interview style**: * If the interview questions feel unreasonable, it’s okay to walk away. * Interviews give insight into the company’s culture and expectations. * **Example**:*“The way a company conducts interviews can tell you a lot about whether it’s a good fit.”* ### **10. Final tip: share your own experiences** * **Reflect on past interview experiences**: * Think about tricky or interesting questions you’ve encountered. * Share those experiences with others for feedback and insights.
great role-play
Great role play
i'd like how they show us what questions we have to expect in a job interview and what questions we don't need to anwser, such as those trick questions like remember some method to do something in a very specific way, because in reality everyone search on google.
Great example, thanks

it’s so amazing!!

Con que rompiendo la 4ta pared

Great interview!

This kind of information is super valuable. Thanks.

The best of the best, thanks.

If there were a like button, I’ll press it many times! I like those role-play videos.

Great hahahahah

I really really loved this class! It worth the whole course!

OK, the format of this class it was amazing. I’ve loved it! Please more role-play in English courses

That's a great example of a software developer interview.

Great interview! 👌

My favorite class!!

But what if I was actually interested in the job and they are still waiting for me to explain the sorting algorithm? 😭

Me gusto mucho como se desenvolvieron los personajes, la trama, la historia, de como rompió la cuarta pared, ese giro un tanto inesperado de irse y sobre todo, el final feliz 😜

Nice class

This as been the best class ever !!! I really enjoyed it and loved it !!!

excelente ejemplo, la explicación, todo. perfecto no creo haber visto una mejor clase que esta

I like this course, my favorite class, thank you teacher Delmont!

The sebastian’s english is simply amazing, the knowledge of this course but especially this class is … (complete the phrase).

I loved it.

My story of my life, i studied civil engenieer in the university, i got into software development🤣

I didn’t expect a class like this… I feel like I can do an interview now 😂😂

It’s good to know this type of information. I don’t had idea about the typical process. Thanks

This was the best class!

I just wanted to see it, a real interview

Amazing interpretation

Excelente clase. Tuve entrevistas que fueron realmente un examen oral y un repaso por todo lo que uno puede saber. La verdad una buena experiencia finalmente.-

great class!!!

Wow excelent class, helped me to get more conidence for interviews in english 😄

a mí me paso que en el code challenge me quede trabado y el entrevistador de plano se durmió, me di cuenta por que roncaba. En el momento y hasta el día de hoy es una situación que me genero mucha verguenza, me alegra que el profe diga que esta bien salirse de las entrevistas…

I like this class so much that I want to press “like” but this is not youtube lol

Awesome!!! I learn so much from this class. #Feeling excited to continue…

Me super fascinó esta clase. Un ejemplo de entrevista real en ingles, era algo muymuy necesario! Gracias por esta clase, en serio.

A developer who knows React and Ruby with some knowledge of cloud but also builds software for satellites doesn’t sound junior to me at all lol. Great lesson guys mock interviews are a great way to sharpen our language and soft skills.

Tuve una pregunta en una entrevista para Administrador de Empresas donde me dijeron que si me gustaba caminar bastante y vender puerta a puerta…algo que no se mencionaba en las tareas del perfil, puesto que éste estaba perfilado para un cargo administrativo

gracias por los tips

¡Genial!

I need watch this class everyday ❤️

Excelente, con ejemplos y actuación genero mejores recuerdos de la clase

This is what I needed, I’m just about to have my first interview for an internship and it has given me a clear example of how to deal whit it.

Kudos ! What a great class and example of a Job Interview

2:49, Sebastian breaks the Matrix. 🤯🔥

Wow, my favorite class…!

it’s a good way to learn

I really like dynamic of this class. It´s something different of another classes and it´s a role-play that doesn´t feel strange, it´s really interesting. I enjoyed watching it.

now I feel that I’m really learning with Platzi English courses. I really appreciate all your work.

This has been a really good example of a really interesting interview, I appreciate what Sebastian and all the Platzi team do for us, thanks a looot.

no es por nada, pero aprendi bastante en cuanto se utilizan ciertas palabras.

Ohh great performers there!! congrats!

An amazing way to give a better idea about the job interviews, I hope that all of us will be in that situation soon!

Excellent interview! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Great interview, I love it

I am very good at failing too! This is part of life, and it is how we learn.

Satellite, hardware, chat, uhm… I feel like I’m following a path of breadcrumbs
like if you know what I’m talking about

What a great lesson, loved the honesty there.

wow…great interview
