087 - 5-Minute English: Strengths and We...

Shana Thompson
About this episode

For today we're back with another 5-Minute English episode and it's all about Strengths and Weaknesses, one of the most challenging questions you'll run into at a job interview. In the 5-Minute discussion we'll dive into an individual's head on the day of a job interview and see how they decide on their strength.

As usual, 5-minute episodes are intensive listening exercises so it should be a challenge! If you're struggling to understand and feel overwhelmed by the complexity of advanced vocab words, I highly recommend signing up to Season 2 or the 5 Minute-English Course.

Mentioned in this episode:  

This episode is part of Season 2.  By purchasing Season 2, you'll be able to access the full transcript for this episode as well as the entire 5-Minute English course at a discount.

Season 2  contains bonus material for episodes 051 - 100. Learn more.
