Pablo's Success Story: Landing a Global HR Role
From Nervous in English Interviews to Confidently Communicating His Experience
Imagine having 12 years of professional experience but struggling to show employers everything you can offer because the interview is in English.
That was Pablo’s situation.
After leading HR teams for major companies in Venezuela and Chile, Pablo had the experience employers were looking for. However, speaking English during interviews made him nervous, and his answers didn’t feel as natural as he wanted them to.
With many international opportunities requiring strong English communication skills, Pablo knew it was time to prepare differently.
“I was nervous, and the interviews didn’t feel natural. I needed to prepare effectively.”

Preparing for the Interviews That Mattered
Pablo didn’t need general English lessons. He needed focused preparation for the kinds of questions he would face when applying for HR positions.
Together, we practiced questions such as:
Tell me about yourself.
What are your areas of specialization in HR?
How do you handle conflict in the workplace?
What experience do you have leading HR teams?
Why are you a strong candidate for this position?
We worked on structuring his answers clearly, highlighting his experience, and using professional vocabulary naturally.
The goal wasn’t for Pablo to memorize a script. It was to help him organize his ideas so he could respond confidently and still sound like himself.
Our sessions were practical and conversational, giving him a comfortable space to practice, make mistakes, receive feedback, and try again.
“The sessions felt like chatting with a friend—engaging, relevant, and practical.”
The Result: A Global HR Position
When an important interview arrived, Pablo was ready.
Instead of overthinking every answer, he stayed calm and focused on communicating his experience. He was able to use the vocabulary we had practiced and speak more naturally in English.
The result?
Pablo landed a position as an HR Business Partner with a global pharmaceutical company operating in 60 countries.
In his new role, he would:
Oversee HR operations in Chile
Support the company’s expansion across Latin America
“I felt proud using new words I’d learned and performing naturally in English. This is a huge step forward in my career.”
Pablo didn’t need to become an HR expert—he already was one. He needed the confidence and language skills to communicate that expertise in English.
Pablo’s Advice for Other Professionals
If you’re preparing for an interview in English, Pablo recommends:
Research the company. Learn about its values, mission, and goals.
Practice speaking aloud. Record yourself, listen to your answers, and identify what you can improve.
Get personalized support. Working with a coach can help you focus on your specific challenges and prepare more effectively.
For Pablo, that focused preparation made a noticeable difference:
“In just one month, I improved more with Frankie’s sessions than in six months elsewhere.”
