Clase 21 de 30 • Curso de Inglés para Entrevistas de Trabajo

Resumen

¿Cómo alinear tus metas con la empresa en una entrevista?

Cuando te preguntas sobre tus metas en una entrevista de trabajo, el entrevistador desea conocer si tus ambiciones personales están en línea con la misión de la empresa. Esto incluye evaluar si la empresa puede satisfacer tus expectativas, asegurándose de que posiblemente desees permanecer allí a largo plazo. A continuación, te ofrecemos consejos clave sobre cómo preparar una respuesta efectiva que muestre tu entusiasmo y adecuación para el puesto.

¿Qué aspectos considerar al responder acerca de tus metas a largo plazo?

Es esencial tener una clara comprensión de tus metas profesionales a largo plazo. Al prepararte para esta pregunta, considera estos puntos:

Carrera profesional: Asegúrate de entender bien las palabras clave como "largo plazo" y "carrera profesional". La correcta pronunciación de estas expresiones demuestra seriedad y preparación.
Crecimiento y desarrollo: Habla sobre tus deseos de crecimiento dentro de la empresa. Usa términos como growth (crecimiento) y development (desarrollo), asegurándote de pronunciar correctamente. Estos elementos indican que estás interesado en avanzar y contribuir al éxito de la compañía.

¿Cómo demostrar confianza y pasión?

Tu actitud en una entrevista dice mucho sobre ti. Las empresas buscan personas confiadas y positivas. Para transmitir estas cualidades:

Declara con seguridad: Desde ya, practica diciendo en voz alta, "Soy una persona positiva".
Relaciona el rol con tus metas: Explica cómo el puesto puede ayudarte a alcanzar tus objetivos a largo plazo. Esto puede incluir hablar sobre oportunidades de mentoría, entrenamiento y desarrollo dentro de la organización.
Muestra entusiasmo: Usa palabras poderosas como entusiasmo y pasión. Por ejemplo, afirma: "Soy apasionada sobre gerenciar y desarrollar equipos de ventas efectivos".

Ejemplo de respuesta efectiva

Un ejemplo ilustrativo podría ser: “Soy apasionada por gerenciar y desarrollar equipos de ventas efectivos. He descubierto esto a través de mi experiencia profesional positiva como manager de ventas y la oportunidad de trabajar con personas de diferentes países. Esto me motivó a aplicar al cargo de manager de ventas internacionales. En cinco años, me gustaría haber realizado grandes contribuciones para esta empresa y desarrollar mis habilidades a través de sus programas especializados de entrenamiento y mentoría, así como sus eventos internacionales”.

¿Cómo prepararse adecuadamente?

Investigación previa: Debes informarte sobre la empresa y su cultura. Asegúrate de que tus metas sean realistas y alcanzables en el contexto de la compañía a la que deseas unirte.
Practicar la pronunciación: La correcta dicción de términos relacionados con la posición y la industria es fundamental para mostrar profesionalismo.
Motivación visible: Cierra tu respuesta mostrando tus conocimientos sobre la empresa, lo que denota que estás motivado y preparado.

Recuerda, el próximo paso en tu camino de preparación es familiarizarte con preguntas situacionales y comportamentales, que estaremos explorando en las siguientes sesiones. ¡Mantén ese entusiasmo y continua tu aprendizaje!

This is one of the most ridiculous questions some employers have asked me.

I have been working in the same place for the last 35 years. In 5 years, I see myself either working or dead.

I answered the last option in one interview. The person interviewing said: "Your English level is really deficient."

I replied: "Thank you." and hanged.

The fact is that I still work, at the same place, and at the same sort of business because my salary is really good.

For instance, in a Call Center; what kind of growth could one employee expect? To have a Neuralink implanted?
