Learn German with GermanPod101.com! Today’s the big day - your first interview to be an English teacher in Germany! As you sit in a tiny hard-backed chair, you peer over what looks like the biggest oak desk you have ever seen in your life, still straining upwards to look into the eyes of a discerning woman relaxing in an equally large and very comfortable-looking leather recliner! Testing your German-English speaking skills, she dives right in questioning you in German, “Why sir, would you like to work for my company?” Nervously, you squeak out in German, “I have admired your company’s work ethics for some time and I would really like to be a part of this team.” Bellowing out again, she continues in German, “What is it about us that you like so much?” Stuttering a little and trying not to seem so…wimpy, you reply in German, “I read all about your company on your website and I like everything you stand for.” Sensing that you are just dodging the questions, she leans across the desk and repeats a little more sincerely in German, “Cut to the chase - tell me specifically what it is you like!” Standing up, and not entirely sure where your confidence came from, you yell out in German, “Okay, okay! I like that chair…and I kind of like…you.”
