This exercise has two purposes.
-First, it will allow you to watch and listen to a job interview in English and to learn from it in order to be able to do the same in a future role play, where I would be the employer and you the job seeker.
-Second, it is destined to give you some training for your future oral exam called the CCF(=Contrôle en Cours de Formation) that you will take during the second term of next year where you will have to explain in English what you understand from a video or a recording in English.
Why don’t you tell me about yourself ?

What- Who- Where
This document is video coming from a British website called videojug
It is an example of a job interview
