Interview prep for Turkish speakers targeting Canada

Your Turkish → English grammar tells

Turkish word order is flexible, but English expects Subject-Verb-Object. Structure matters here.

Canadian 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'.
