Interviews questions and answers is the B2 high-stakes spoken-business skill — the productive English that decides whether learners land jobs. The worksheet covers standard interview questions (Tell me about yourself, What’s your greatest strength?, Why do you want this role?, Where do you see yourself in five years?), the STAR method for behavioural questions (Tell me about a time when you handled a difficult situation), salary-negotiation language, and the candidate questions that strong applicants ask back.
This worksheet builds B2 fluency with interview Q&A.
What’s inside:
- A bank of 25 standard interview questions with model-answer frameworks
- STAR-method template for behavioural questions
- Salary-discussion phrase bank
- Role-play interview practice with feedback rubric
- Full Answer Key plus Teacher Notes
Common challenges: STAR-method discipline at B2 — every behavioural answer needs Situation, Task, Action, Result. Avoiding vague claims: I’m a hard worker (weak) vs I delivered three projects on time last quarter (strong). Salary-conversation comfort: most learners find this culturally awkward.
For: Adult and teenage learners (14+) at CEFR B2, in upper-intermediate classes, 1:1 lessons, or self-study — particularly job-seekers. Maps onto BEC Vantage and BEC Higher. Part of the Job Search & Specialised collection — the natural next step is Contracts and Legal Language.
