WHY THIS COURSE
A job interview in English isn’t just about vocabulary
You have an English job interview coming up. Maybe for a multinational, maybe for a role with an international team, maybe for a position abroad. Whatever the case, you already know that understanding the questions won’t be enough.
English-language interviews follow precise rules — how to structure answers, what types of questions to expect, cultural expectations — that are profoundly different from what you’re used to. A technically prepared candidate who doesn’t know the format loses ground from the very first answer. Not because their English isn’t good enough. Because they don’t know what’s expected.
This course focuses on exactly that: how to present yourself, how to structure behavioural answers using the STAR method, how to handle difficult questions, how to negotiate your salary, and how to follow up professionally. Four weeks, maximum six people, real-scenario mock interviews. You’ll walk into your interview knowing exactly what to do.
No automatic payment. Payment will be requested by email only after enrolment is confirmed.
Course runs with a minimum of 4 enrolees — full refund if it doesn’t go ahead.
Secure payment by bank transfer (free in the EU) or payment card (4% surcharge).
WHO IT’S FOR
This course is for you if
You have an English job interview coming up in the next few months — multinational company, senior role, or a position abroad
You understand English and can communicate, but freeze up under pressure or in formal situations
You’ve never done a job interview in English and don’t know what to expect — structure, questions, register, cultural expectations
You’ve done interviews in English before but something didn’t work — and you’re not entirely sure what
You work in an international company and want to go for a more senior position that involves selection in English
Minimum level required: B1+/B2. This course does not cover basic grammar or general vocabulary — it assumes you can already hold a conversation in English. Not sure about your level? Book a free 15min Call before enrolling — we’ll help you work out whether this course is right for you.

Your Personal Pitch
How to answer “Tell me about yourself” in 60–90 seconds: structure, pacing, what to include and what to cut.
02
The STAR method
How to build precise, credible answers to behavioural interview questions, with concrete examples adapted to your sector.
03
Difficult questions
CV gaps, reasons for leaving, weaknesses, career changes. How to answer without losing credibility.
04
Salary negotiation
How to discuss compensation in English without coming across as desperate or rude. Framing, numbers, counter-offer.
05
Skills and industry language
How to describe your role, responsibilities and results with the right level of professional precision.

Follow-up and closing
What to ask the interviewer, how to write a professional post-interview follow-up email, how to handle the final negotiation.
PROGRAMME
8 sessions. Zero filler.
Two sessions a week for four weeks. Each session has a precise objective, materials shared before the meeting, and practical tasks to complete between sessions.
S 1 — The English-language interview: structure and cultural differences
How an interview at an English-speaking company is structured, and why it’s different from what you’re used to. What recruiters actually expect, the most common mistakes European candidates make, and how to avoid them from the very first contact. Introduction to the course format, materials, and each participant’s individual goals.
S 2 — The personal pitch — “Tell me about yourself”
The most important answer in any interview, and the one almost nobody actually prepares for. We work on the structure — past, present, future — the right length (60–90 seconds, no more), and how to make it feel authentic rather than like a talking CV. Each participant builds their own version and presents it to the group for immediate feedback.
S 3 — The STAR method for behavioural interview questions
Situation, Task, Action, Result. The STAR method is the standard for answering questions like “Tell me about a time when you had to manage a difficult situation”. We work on structure, language precision, and how to use real examples from your professional experience without getting lost in irrelevant detail.
S 4 — Difficult questions
CV gaps, reasons for leaving a previous employer, weaknesses, premature salary questions, career changes. These are the questions that throw even the most prepared candidates. We work on how to answer honestly without compromising your application — with adaptable scripts tailored to each participant’s specific situation.
S 5 — Mock interview 1 — with structured feedback
Full mock interview in pairs, with role rotation. The tutor observes, takes notes, and steps in where needed. Structured feedback at three levels: content of answers, language precision, overall performance (pacing, clarity, handling pressure). Each participant receives written feedback within 24 hours of the session.
S 6 — Technical skills and industry language
How to describe your role, responsibilities and results in English with the precision an anglophone recruiter expects. The main problem isn’t vocabulary — it’s the tendency to translate literally from your native language, which produces sentences that are technically correct but culturally off. We work with real examples from the participants’ specific sectors.
S 7 — Salary negotiation, questions for the interviewer, and follow-up
How to discuss compensation in English — framing, figures, counter-offer — without coming across as aggressive or naive. How to ask the interviewer smart questions that show genuine interest and preparation. How to write a post-interview follow-up email that leaves a positive impression and keeps your application alive.
S 8 — Final mock interview and individual written feedback
A full interview in real conditions — same format, same pressure, same type of questions as an actual interview. The tutor conducts it as a senior recruiter would. Individual written feedback delivered within 24 hours, along with a personalised post-course action plan for each participant based on what came out of the simulations.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Beyond the live sessions
The real work doesn’t end when Zoom closes. Here’s what you get with every edition of the course.
Professionally curated materials
Before every session you receive materials prepared by the tutor: a phrase bank for your sector, adaptable STAR frameworks, salary negotiation scripts, and post-interview follow-up email templates. Proprietary MEI material combined with selected third-party resources. In PDF format — yours to keep, even after the course ends.
Practical assignments
Every session ends with a concrete task to complete before the next meeting: recording your pitch, writing a STAR answer based on a real professional case, drafting a follow-up email. You come to each session having already put the week’s work into practice — so class time builds on real preparation, not a cold start.
Coordinated peer-to-peer practice
Some activities between sessions are done in pairs with another participant: mock interviews, mutual review of STAR answers, cross-feedback on the personal pitch. Each pair works from a structured evaluation grid, so peer feedback stays useful and precise rather than just an informal chat.
MEI Certificate — shareable on LinkedIn
On completion you receive a formal Marcus English Institute certificate detailing the programme completed. You can add it directly to the Licences and Certifications section of your LinkedIn profile in two clicks.
Each cohort is led by one MEI tutor from our group course faculty. Your tutor is confirmed when the cohort is finalised — typically just after the registration deadline.

WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS SAY
Real Feedback
I had an interview coming up for a marketing manager role at a London-based company. My English was solid, but I had no idea how to structure my answers according to their expectations. After four weeks, the interview went brilliantly. They offered me the job.
Matteo R. Marketing Manager · Milan
I didn’t think I needed a course specifically about interviews. I thought good English would be enough. I was wrong. The simulations and the STAR method completely changed how I approached difficult questions. The simulation sessions alone were worth the entire course.
