Practice a Job Interview in Engelsk
A Engelsk job interview is the highest-pressure conversation most learners ever have: formal register, complex grammar, professional vocabulary, and the unspoken cultural rules of the country you're interviewing in. This scenario walks through the full interview arc — greeting and small talk, the 'tell me about yourself' answer, behavioural questions, salary discussion, and asking smart questions back. You'll practise the formal Engelsk register, the verbs for past achievements ('I led, I delivered, I improved'), and the body of professional vocabulary that turns hesitant answers into confident ones.

There's a soft formula — 'What's the salary range for this role?' — that's professional and direct. The scenario rehearses the negotiation language too.
