Strengthening Confidence in Professional English
In the previous chapter, Fernando completed his second professional English class with David at EBC Languages. During that session, they focused on mastering financial terminology in English, and the results were immediate. Shortly afterward, Fernando received a life-changing email: an invitation for a job interview at an international bank in Madrid. The interview would be conducted in English, which presented a significant challenge, so he didn’t hesitate to contact David for additional support.
David assured him that the following classes would focus on preparing for job interviews, paying special attention to key phrases, common questions, and effective strategies for standing out. With a clear goal, a tailored plan, and the support of an expert, Fernando began to feel more confident and prepared to take his skills to the next level.

Overcoming Challenges: The Road to the Interview
With each class, Fernando felt more prepared. David taught him to identify the intention behind the most common interview questions and to structure convincing answers using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
In one of the sessions, David asked him one of the most typical questions:
David: “Fernando, tell me about a time you faced a challenge at work and how you handled it.”
Fernando hesitated for a moment, but began to answer:
Fernando: “Uh… well, there was a time when my team had to submit a financial report, but we were missing some key data. It was very stressful… um… but I… uh…“
David raised his hand with a smile:
David: “Breathe and take your time. Try to avoid filler words like ‘uh’ or ‘um’. Let’s try again using the STAR method.”
Fernando nodded, took a deep breath, and replied:
Fernando: “Sure. In my previous role, my team was responsible for preparing a financial report, but we realized a key data source was missing. I took the initiative to contact the relevant department and worked closely with them to retrieve the necessary information. By doing this, we managed to submit the report on time and even improved its accuracy.“
David clapped, satisfied:
David: “That was excellent: clear, concise, and well-structured. The more you practice, the more natural it will become. Ready for another question?“
Each class presented a new challenge, but also an opportunity to gain confidence and continue improving.
Interview Day
When the big day arrived, Fernando was nervous, but prepared. Remembering David’s advice, he took a deep breath and entered the interview with confidence. The questions were demanding, but thanks to his thorough preparation, Fernando answered fluently and professionally.
The next day, he received the news he had been waiting for: the job was his! Excited, he shared the good news with David, who celebrated this great achievement with him.
A Future Full of Possibilities
Aware of the importance of English in his new position, Fernando decided to invest in a package of 50 additional classes with EBC Languages to further improve his level. He also attended the free English classes offered by the academy, where he practiced with other students and future teachers from Trinity College London.
Through these sessions, Fernando not only improved his language skills, but also expanded his network of professional contacts, gaining motivation and confidence to use English in his daily life.
English not only boosted his professional career but also enriched his personal life. With a better command of the language, Fernando and his family began planning their first trip to the United Kingdom, a dream that had previously seemed out of reach.
