Austin Spanish and English Meetup Group

virtual meetup via video call
Every language learner hits the same wall: you can hold a friendly conversation, but the moment the stakes go up — a job interview, a recruiter screen, a panel of strangers on Zoom — the words disappear. This session is about that wall.
We're running a practical workshop on the English you need for a US remote job search, followed by real speaking practice in small breakout rooms. Come with a story about your own work and you'll leave having said it out loud, in English, more clearly than when you arrived.
What we'll cover
📄 Resume & LinkedIn fixes — specific and actionable, on the two things recruiters screen before they ever reach your interview.
🎯 The STAR framework, rebuilt for US interviewers — why the structure that works in a Spanish-language interview falls flat in English, and the version that lands with US hiring managers.
🧭 A real job search strategy — where to focus, how to prioritize applications, and how to use warm outreach instead of cold-applying into the void.
🗣️ Breakout practice (the main event) — small rooms, working on two things: your elevator pitch, and interview English as actual conversation. Not scripted answers — handling follow-ups, buying yourself time, recovering when you lose the thread. Everyone speaks. No one is graded.
Plus live Q&A with our recruiting and language team.
