after quitting my last job as a housekeeping im back now to looking for a new job and now i have a two upcoming intereviews as a sales consultant for two different marketing.. i applied in this job and got an phone interview before inviting me to face to face actual interview. my reason that i applied for this job is kind close to my experience as a sales lady back in philippines last couple of yearss ago.

but my worries are now coming to my chest.. im not quite confident to my english although there is a confidence to me still im a bit worried of my listening skills and communication skills. and for you to be able to do the job as a sales consultant you need to have a clear communication.but me i often have to ask the question is or what the other saying again. i know this is normal. i dont know theres a back on my mind that just give it a try but why give a try if i know what is wrong with me. i have some positive thoughts and negative thoughts right now on my mind...:doh:doh i guess that is really life isnt it..:D

any opinion are very appreciated..thanks guys..:)

hi Poca,

For me it is just normal for you to feel nervous especially like us, ENGLISH is not our first language but I think it isn't right to become a hindrance in getting what you want..

The interviewer wouldn't asked you for a personal interview if they dont think you've got the qualities they need since they already interviewed you over the phone..

Cheer up girl, I am very sure you can make it..Goodluck..:xxgrinning--00xx3:

:iagree: with Kimmi ... YOU CAN DO IT ... 'power of positive thinking' and all that! To my mind, the *telephone interview would've been the hardest part to contend with ... and you've already gone more than halfway to proving your worth by passing *this with flying colours. Besides, I believe you express yourself very well indeed - considering English is not your first language.

All the best with the next - and [hopefully] final - stage. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

theres no point in hiding at home, how will you ever get use to people talking to you and improving you english :Erm:

i would drop you off somewhere and tell you to make your own way home, to make you talk to people but as i know how tampo you filipinas can get, is that such a good idea :D

Go for it:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Go for it:xxgrinning--00xx3:Yes, go for it ! As someone who is trying to learn Tagalog and Italian I know how hard it is , and we in the UK tend to be very lazy with languages because everyone speaks English (but their grammar and spelling may still be terrible !):)

[liane]

You can do it! This must be it :xxgrinning--00xx3:
As some members have mentioned, they won't require you to proceed for a personal interview if you aren't qualified. So you got the qualities of a sales consultant. Cheer up :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Just be confident of your answers on your interview. I know it's normal to feel nervous in every job interview but try to relax. Mostly, we are just nervous before the interview but during the interview we start to feel comfortable answering every questions they ask.

Just do your best... I know you would :xxgrinning--00xx3:
Good luck.
I know you can do it...
Self confidence will be a great help :)

id just hope that my interviews realized that and will be very kind to understand my persuasive to be trained and to learned...hehe:D

Hello Pocahontas! ike everyone said go for it. If you don't get it, it doesn't necessarily mean you're no good. Employers have their own way of looking/hiring people. Your confidence might be hitting you down, but that is normal. Just keep talking/practising. I know it is our second language and can be use as an excuse - vis a vis our get out - nevertheless that is the language to use in the UK. You're are good compared but don't stop there ... make it even better ... you will get there ... :-) All the best to you!!!
