Answer key

  1. Could you tell us a little about your current role?“Tell us a little” links together. “Current role” means your job now.
  2. I'm responsible for training new members of staff.“Responsible for” means it is your duty. The -ing of “training” joins “new”.
  3. What would you say is your greatest strength?“What would you” is quick: “wha-wud-ya”.
  4. I stay calm when things don't go to plan.“Don’t go to plan” means do not happen as expected.
  5. Where do you see yourself in five years?“Where do you” sounds like “where-d’ya”. Write five as a word or a digit.
