Hi- April 10, 2007, Wednesday
In case the Irgun teachers are raring to get their minds working on
English again, I
have a request for you:
I am teaching with an adult student who is a candidate for the role of
Israel manager
Of a company based in Germany. My job is to prepare him for an
inter-company,
Personal interview/written test coming up in the beginning of May, 2007.
He will be
Interviewed by the company's personnel department.
His spoken English and vocabulary are excellent; his weak point is
putting his
thoughts into intelligible writing.
I have already taught him sentence construction and basics of language
as well as
Many other finer points of Engliish usage which he missed because he has
always
depended on his secretary to do the writing for him!
Tomorrow, I am going to be teaching him how to incorporate gerunds into
sentences.
I am now looking for typical questions that employers might ask in a job
interview of the
above sort, to which he will need to formulate a written answer. These
questions would
involve thoughtful consideration as well as a well-constructed answer in
English, such as:
"1) How does _________Israel plan to deal with situations such as
happened last Summer
2006, in which our company had deadlines to meet and there was a war
raging .
How do you plan to meet manufacturing deadlines when employee attendance
is spotty?"
Your input is great!
(Thanks for your help with the Oral Bagrut prep. and army terms. I have
tried to send it but
unfortunately the Word document got corrupted and I don't seem to be
able to send it as is.
When I figure out how to do it, I'll send it to the ETNI list.)
Hope to hear from you soon—
Margie
