not sure which part of the interview you’re struggling with, but I’ll respond with general advice. practice, practice, and practice some more. this will help boost your confidence and will also make you seem more confident to the person interviewing you.
well, the first part of the interview really. I’m quality, whenever I apply to the big banks, they always send me a video interview but I can’t never pass that stage. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a little scare or just under pressure.
are you forced to do these in English? It sounds like you aren't a native speaker and it may just be a function of not having polished enough language skills. Probably the best way to change that is move to a the US/UK and only speak English 24/7 for a few months, focus on how you say each and every word and eliminate grammar issues.
well I've been in NY for over 18 years, I still have an accent. I guess that also kinda play a role in my decent communication skill.
however, that shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve seen people with worst accent get into the banks.
Fabrice, it's not just the accent, it's the way you write. You asked for feedback and based on the limited information I have (your writing), I would guess that your language is largely the issue. Question, you've been here for over 18 years but what percentage of the day are you speaking English with other native speakers?
I spend most of my day speaking English. but at home I speak my native language once in a while.
