Bereid je voor op een Engels sollicitatiegesprek

Tegenwoordig is de wereld ontzettend klein, en dat is ook te merken in het bedrijfsleven: steeds meer bedrijven gaan internationaal of worden overgenomen door een buitenlandse eigenaar. Het gevolg daarvan is dat er meer en meer sollicitatiegesprekken worden gevoerd in het Engels. In deze podcast wordt je voorbereid op een Engels sollicitatiegesprek door middel van 6 voorbeeldvragen die gesteld kunnen worden. Elke vraag gaat gepaard met een bijbehorend antwoord en een uitleg waarom dit antwoord juist is om te geven.
