ENGLISH PHRASE #1 is to say that you are COMMERCIALLY-AWARE.
At some stage during the interview, preferably when the interviewer says to you “WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU?” tell them you are commercially-aware.
Say this…
“I am commercially-aware. What I mean by this is, I understand that you have worked hard to build your business, and the only way it will continue to thrive, is if I do a good job for you, I represent the business positively, and I carry out my duties diligently and professionally.”
ENGLISH PHRASE #2 is to say that you are a SUPPORTIVE CO-WORKER.
All employers want to hire people who put the needs of the team first! There is no “I” in teamwork! A business can only be successful if all co-workers are pulling together in the same direction.
Say this…
“In this role, I will be a supportive and productive co-worker. I understand that for your business to be successful, I need to put the needs of my team first, I need to support my co-workers in the delivery of their duties, and I must help train up new members of staff as and when they join the company.”

ENGLISH PHRASE #3 is to say that you have READ THE JOB DESCRIPTION!
If you reference the job description in the interview, and you explain how you have the skills and experience needed to do the job, you significantly increase your chances of passing!
The job description has been written by the hiring manager, and if you talk about it during the interview, it shows you are organized, and you understand the importance of this document!
Say this…
“I studied the job description carefully before applying for this role to make sure I had what it takes to perform to the required standards. I am confident I have the skills and experience needed to get up to speed quickly in the position, and start helping the business achieve its commercial objectives.”
ENGLISH PHRASE #4 is to say that you WANT TO BUILD A CAREER WITH THEIR COMPANY.
Remember this… it takes time, energy, and resources to recruit someone right for the position. Therefore, if you decide to move on fairly soon after starting working there, the hiring manager is essentially back at square one.
One way to shine at your interview is to tell the interviewer you plan to stay working for them for the long-term.
More often than not, your career plans will be assessed during the interview by way of the question, “WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 5 YEARS?”
Say this…
“I can genuinely see myself working at your company for the long-term. In fact, if I am successful, I plan to stay working here for many years to come and build a successful career. You are the type of company that is attractive because you have a strong set of values, and the workplace culture is clearly a positive one.”
ENGLISH PHRASE #5 is to say that you always EMBRACE CHANGE POSITIVELY!
If a business or organization is to stay profitable, it needs to change periodically. There is nothing worse, as an employer, having a workforce that opposes change.
Say this…
“I am somebody that understands the importance of change in a business. As well as being supportive of change, I will do all I can to help my manager or supervisor implement it. I will also always encourage my co-workers to embrace change with a positive mindset, too.”
ENGLISH PHRASE #6 is to say that you always SEEK TO CONTINUALLY IMPROVE AND DEVELOP!
The best type of employees are those that take responsibility for their own ongoing development. In your interview, tell the hiring manager that you are somebody who will take steps to develop their own skills and knowledge periodically.
Say this…
“I am the type of employee who will always seek to improve in the role. This will be achieved by asking my manager for feedback, and by thinking of ways I can develop specific skills that will help me maintain competence in the role. This will be achieved by undertaking periodic training courses, and by learning from my co-workers.”
ENGLISH PHRASE #7 is to say that you have a PLAN of what you are going to do when you start in the role!
If you have a plan in place of the different things you will do if you get hired, this will impress the hiring manager. Having a plan shows you are organized, disciplined, and forward-thinking.
Say this…
“I already have a plan of what I will do in the role if I am hired. I will start off by getting a brief from my manager of what he or she needs me to do. I will then get to know my co-workers so I can understand how the team works and operates. Next, I will draw up a list of priority tasks that require my attention, the things I need to learn including systems and processes, before setting to work on achieving positive things for the company.”
