Como se sair bem na Entrevista

No vídeo abaixo o professor Steve ressalta que o “interviewee”, ou seja, a pessoa entrevistada, deve tomar cuidado para não tentar usar palavras muito rebuscadas, que, na hora do stress, podem ser mal colocadas ou mesmo parecer sem sentido, comprometendo assim o desempenho do entrevistado.

Ainda sobre esse mesmo foco, Steve ressalta no vídeo a importância de se redobrar a atenção sobre o perigo do uso de falsos cognatos, ou seja: palavras que, apesar de muito similares, têm significados bem diferentes em nosso idioma e no Inglês. Na hora do stress e do nervosismo, o entrevistado pode cometer erros que, em situação normal, ele não cometeria.
