Interview prep for Bengali speakers targeting United Kingdom

Your Bengali → English grammar tells

Bengali speakers often use continuous tense ('I am doing') for simple present. 'I manage' not 'I am managing'.

UK interviewers notice these patterns even when they cannot name them. The fix is mechanical: read your answers aloud, mark every instance, and rewrite using short sentences and 'I' rather than 'we'.

How to pitch what you did in United Kingdom

Interviews in the UK generally reward letting the evidence carry the claim. Give the number and your specific part, then stop; superlatives around it can read as overclaiming. This is about register, not about lowering what you say you achieved.

Questions you are likely to hear

1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Why this role / company?
3. Walk me through a recent project you led.
4. Tell me about a time you disagreed with a senior colleague.
5. What are your salary expectations?
