1. What comes up before questions?
2. What should you answer to a question: What would you bring into this role?

to meet you!” and then say their name. That one always works (работает).

you say it outloud (вголос) when you first meet. A lot of the time small talk
comes up (беседа передует) before any questions. It’s good to have a few

predict (предсказать) what they’re going to ask but you can practice
answering the common ones like “Why do you want to work here? What makes
you unique (уникальным)?”. Let’s see what our interviewer asks. So, I want
to hear more. Tell me about your experience (опыт) and what you would bring
into this role. Pause (сделайте паузу). When this is asked, they are looking to
learn what makes you stand out (выделяться). Be honest with your answers.
That means (означает) having a pause and think for a second. That is all right
(хорошо).

(получил) was from Berkshire Hathaway board-of-directors (совет
директоров) member Thomas Murphy. He told Buffett: “Never forget Warren,
you can tell a guy to go to hell (послать к чёрту) tomorrow — you don’t give
up (не отказываешься) the right. So just keep your mouth shut (держи рот
