Com puc presentar-me en anglès en una entrevista de feina?

Segueix l'estructura: present (el que fas ara o la teva formació), passat (experiència rellevant), futur (per què vols aquesta feina). Exemple: 'I currently work as a marketing coordinator at a Barcelona-based agency, where I manage social media for three clients. Before that, I studied Communications at the UAB. I am applying because I want to develop my skills in content strategy, and this role is the right next step.' Limita't a 60-90 segons.

Com nego el sou en anglès?

Si et pregunten les teves expectatives salarials: 'Based on my experience and the market rate for this role, I am looking for something in the range of [X]–[Y]. That said, I am open to discussing the full compensation package.' Si no vols revelar un número: 'I would prefer to understand the full scope of the role before discussing salary. Could you share the budget for this position?' Evita dir un número massa ràpidament.

Quines preguntes haig d'evitar en una entrevista en anglès?

Evita preguntar sobre el sou en la primera entrevista (tret que ho plantegin ells), sobre vacances i beneficis com a primera pregunta (sembla poc motivat), i preguntes amb resposta a Google ('What does your company do?'). El que hauries de preguntar: 'What does success look like in this role after 90 days?', 'What are the main challenges?', 'How would you describe the team culture?'

Anglès per a Entrevistes de Feina — Frases i Vocabulari Essencial

Per què l'anglès d'entrevista és diferent

L'anglès del dia a dia i l'anglès d'una entrevista de feina no són el mateix. Les entrevistes en anglès tenen un format molt previsible — les mateixes preguntes, les mateixes estructures de resposta. Qui les coneix d'antuvi té un avantatge real.

Les empreses internacionals de Barcelona, les startups i les multinacionals fan entrevistes en anglès amb regularitat. Preparar-se en anglès és cada vegada menys opcional.

Les 8 preguntes més habituals — amb respostes model

1. "Tell me about yourself."

Estructura recomanada (90 segons):

"I am currently a [rol] at [empresa], where I [responsabilitat principal]. Before that, I [experiència rellevant]. I am applying here because [raó concreta relacionada amb la feina o l'empresa]."

Exemple:

"I currently work as a graphic designer at a digital agency in Barcelona, where I handle visual identity projects for clients in the retail sector. Before that, I studied Fine Arts at the UB and did an internship at Publicis. I am applying here because I want to work on larger-scale brand campaigns, and your portfolio is exactly the kind of work I aspire to do."

2. "Why do you want to work here?"

Mostra que t'has informat. Menciona alguna cosa específica.

"I have followed [empresa] for a while, particularly your work on [projecte/valor/producte]. This role appeals to me because it combines [X] and [Y], which are exactly the areas where I want to grow. I also believe my background in [àrea] would be a genuine contribution from day one."

⚠️ Mai diguis "because it's a good company" o "because I need a job."

3. "What are your strengths?"

Digues una o dues fortaleses — amb prova concreta.

"I am very organised — I currently manage three simultaneous projects without missing a deadline. I also communicate clearly across teams, which I think is especially valuable in cross-functional environments."

4. "What is your greatest weakness?"

La resposta ha de mostrar autoconsciència i millora activa.

"I sometimes find it difficult to delegate — I tend to want to do things myself to make sure they meet my standards. I have been working on this by documenting processes more carefully so that colleagues can take on tasks with full context."

5. "Describe a challenge you faced and how you handled it."

Usa l'estructura STAR: Situation → Task → Action → Result.

"At my last job, a key client requested a full campaign rebrand with a two-week deadline — much shorter than usual. My task was to coordinate the design and copy teams simultaneously. I created a shared timeline with daily check-ins and prioritised the deliverables the client needed first. We delivered on time and the client extended the contract for six more months."

6. "Where do you see yourself in five years?"

Mostra ambició, però vinculada a la feina actual.

"I would like to have taken on more strategic responsibility — ideally leading a small team or managing key accounts independently. I am genuinely excited about this role as a starting point for that path."

7. "Why are you leaving your current job?"

Sempre positiu. Mai criticar l'empresa o el cap anterior.

✅ "I have learned a great deal in my current role, but I am ready for a new challenge with more scope for [X]. This position offers exactly that." ❌ "My boss is difficult and the team is dysfunctional."

8. "Do you have any questions for us?"

Prepara'n dues o tres. Mai acabis dient "No, I think everything's been covered."

"What does success look like in this role after the first 90 days?"
"What are the main challenges someone in this position typically faces?"
"How would you describe the team culture?"
"What do you enjoy most about working here?"
