My partner interview.
Five months ago, I attended a partner interview in an accounting firm.
Before the interview, I spent much time preparing for it by reading a lot of interview sharings on the internet, listing all the questions that would be likely to be asked during the interview and doing mock interviews with my classmates and relatives. All these preparations finally turned out to be necessary.
It was a HK partner who interviewed me. In the moment of hearing that he is from HK, I was very worried. I thought it must be an English interview and that was the problem because my spoken English was poor and I could not even say one sentence fluently.
With the uneasy mood, I walked into the meeting room. Fortunately, he told me to sit down and started introducing himslef in CHINESE! Thank god! What a relief! Then he asked me a few questions, told me his experiences from an assistant auditor to a partner in the accounting firm and gave me some suggestions about how to get used to the new environment out of school. He really was a nice man.
After the interview, I reflected myself. I had to get English done before graduation, otherwise, it would be an obstacle in my career.
From then on, I started to listen and repeat actor's lines of American dramas and watch Famiy Album USA every day. I hoped it would help.
Now, since I have found this website, I decided to write an English composition each day. There are six months away from graduation. I believe I can improve my English in all respects, reading, listening, speaking and writing. I hope I could communicate freely and easily with native English speakers. I would appreciate every person who offers me favor and gives me suggestions about how to improve English.
I will keep studying hard. I hope you can see my progress.
