Top tip 3
If you pretend the new recruit is about 30 years old (or older) you will have more to talk about. For example:
Have you ever worked abroad?
Yes I worked in France for 3 years and then in Madrid in Spain for 1 year. I worked abroad as a salesman but I retrained 4 years ago to become an accountant. I have been an accountant for three years now.
Wow did you work in Paris? I love Paris.
Yes I worked and lived in the center of Paris. I liked Paris, but I really loved living and working in Madrid; have you ever visited Madrid?
Yes but only on business.
