Perform well in your job interview.
Feel less stressed
Know what to say
Connect with your interviewers
Increase your confidence
Get answers to your questions
Anticipate what you may be asked
Be proud of how you perform, knowing you did your best
Whether you are searching for new challenges, up for a promotion, or are forced to find a new position, making a positive impression during the interview is essential.
You want to be ready.
And while your experiences and connections can get your foot in the door to the next opportunity, your communication skills will determine whether you get the job.
But what if your job and the interview require communication skills you don't think you have?
Are you ready? Do you know how to prepare?
Many people spend time practicing the wrong things before job interviews, and because of it, they become so nervous that their minds go blank.
Forgetting words will be even more likely--especially if you don't speak often. Your poor communication skills will be a barrier if you do nothing.
Yet, you know that you can do well if you prepare well.
You don't want to get caught off guard by a question, scrambling to think of an answer or example.
You don't want to be asked to repeat yourself, or take too long to find the words you need to express yourself. And you don't want to worry that you are saying too much or saying the wrong thing.
But without the right preparation, your ideas will be stuck in your mind.
If you spend little time speaking, these ideas might refuse to turn into English words.
You'll rub your forehead, willing the words to come to mind--they are in there! After all, you understand most everything you read...
So, what can you do to prepare well for your interview?
✅ Know what to prioritize so that you have both the answers to interview questions AND the clear language to express them.
✅ Learn techniques that are immediately relevant and practical.
✅ Get personalized attention and community camaraderie to see it through.

Here's how Isabel landed her job!
This has been one of the cleverest decisions that I have made in the last few years.
In the past, I had had interviews in English and the results were not always the best.
The course helped me to identify the main concepts and words that I would need in the meeting and to focus on them.
Additionally, I practiced in real time answering questions so Dr. Wallace could give me feedback about my responses with the STAR methodology, and the 4-step process for effective answers. She also told how to improve my pronunciation.
The most impactful thing for me was that she helped me with were my physical expressions because it allowed me to have better eye contact in front of the camera and to connect with the interviewers as in a normal conversation.
Without a doubt, the course helped me to improve my performance.
I landed the job!
I feel happy and confident that I can increase my opportunities in the international arena by applying what I learned with Dr. Lara Wallace.
You will see results if you believe in the process and you believe in yourself!"

Promotions within large multinational organizations
Cindy knew that she needed some English coaching if she wanted to be eligible for a promotion at a world-renowned international renewables company. After brushing up her speaking skills, she followed this process and landed her promotion to head multiple countries.
Jobs with better pay
It's no secret that some smaller companies cannot pay their engineers well. Several clients have followed this process to prepare themselves for opportunities to work abroad or for multinationals. For this, they knew that their high score on the IELTS was no guarantee, and being able to talk only about their job was not enough. That's why they followed this process to anticipate other kinds of questions to build their confidence and fluency when speaking in a range of scenarios. After all, the higher their English fluency they had opened doors to higher paying positions.
The courage to apply to new opportunities for career growth
Khana had been feeling stuck in her job, but when she saw an opportunity to take a year to work in a related position abroad, she wondered if she was up to it. Thanks to her newfound confidence with speaking from careful preparation, practice answering questions, and getting feedback on how to improve, she got the support she needed to apply and landing an interview with the person in charge.
Decreased nervousness during interviews
An expert in ESG who has negotiated effective agreements to stop illegal mining in challenging places around the globe, Juliette struggled to convey her expertise, and felt that she could do so much more if only she could interview well. From following this process--which includes working on mindset by weaving grounding practices in throughout-- doing the mock job interview role play, and working with Lara in a few additional coaching calls to pinpoint her needs, she performed confidently in a job interview, satisfied that she did her very best.
Positions on prestigious boards
Perhaps you want to give back to the community, sharing your knowledge and extending your influence by serving in a leadership position for an NGO. But if this position is outside of your normal environment--a for-profit business or academia, for example--you may struggle to translate what you know and do for those who could offer you a position. This process can help you.
An effective preparation process for a confident performance
Everyone who has followed this process has learned strategies that have helped them to stay calm, speak effectively, and be understood.
You deserve support.
(Job Interview Preparation Graduate)
If the only time you speak English is at your job interview, it's almost guaranteed that you will struggle speaking during your interview.
Why? Because you are missing out on valuable practice and feedback!
The good news is that by enrolling in this course, you will gain access to weekly live calls for English lessons and conversation practice. By participating in these weekly lessons and being active in our community, you will get the practice you need to be able to think more effectively in English when it's time to speak.
While the course has a virtual mock interview recording where you can practice answering common questions, you will still need to practice answering questions based on the specific position to which you are applying.
If you don't practice answering these kinds of questions, you might struggle to show that you are a good fit, which could result in making a poor impression.
That's why you get this bonus when enrolling--a live mock interview with Dr. Lara Wallace.
Just send her the job description and website of the organization, and she will craft specific questions that will help you practice showing exactly why you're the right person for the job. Additionally, she will give you valuable feedback regarding your performance so that when the actual interview comes, you will be ready.
Through her content, courses, and coaching, she has helped her clients perform confidently in presentations, make themselves understood when collaborating on multinational teams, earn promotions, and more.
With over 5 years of focusing on sustainability professionals and enthusiasts and nearly 20 years of experience teaching graduate students at the university level to communicate effectively for a variety of audiences through speaking, presenting, and technical writing, her expertise in pronunciation pedagogy allows her to pinpoint and address communication barriers that clients can overcome by following a systematic approach that is immediately applicable to doing well in your job interview.
Lara is TEFL-certified and with a Masters in Linguistics, a PhD in Cultural Studies, and a Bachelors in Spanish with minors in Anthropology and Music.
Lara is dedicated to empowering you to speak up for yourself, your community, and the planet.
This course prepares you from the job description through the day of the interview, rather than focusing on giving you a list of questions or some random vocabulary words that you can drop into your answers. While it is designed for people who grew up speaking other languages, it is equally useful to people who only speak English. With this course, you also have access to our private WhatsApp community for your questions, practice opportunities, and feedback. Here's how one member of the community describes it: “First aid! Whenever we have a question, we quickly drop it in WhatsApp and get a response from Lara or someone else.”
Yes, you can do that. Please contact Lara to set that up by sending an email to [email protected] with "Job Interview Course Payment Plan Question" in the subject line.
Through a combination of process, preparation, and practice, you will prepare for each job interview in turn, becoming comfortable with the language used and how to express yourself. Watch the instructional recordings and use the resources. Fill in the spreadsheet with your answers to get organized and learn what to say. Participate actively in the WhatsApp group for practice, feedback, and to get answers to your questions. The better effort you put in, the faster you will see results. This is how you grow your confidence with speaking.
While communication is crucial, whether you are offered the position depends on variables out of English for Sustainability's control. Some of them include: how qualified you are, how truthfully and effectively you represented yourself and your skills, the other applicants and their qualifications, applicants' connections to the interviewers, funding for and availability of the position, legislation that may affect the position, leadership in the organization, discrimination, and more. This course will give you your best chance at effective communication, but cannot guarantee that you will land the job.
Only you can answer this question, but we've set this course up so that you can work in small steps and with your own schedule. The lessons are available 24/7 and you will get answers to any questions in the WhatsApp group by the next business day. This flexibility and ability to access content, and get answers and feedback is what helps busy people like you to improve their English and speak confidently in interviews.
If within 90 days you have completed the course but are dissatisfied, there is a money-back guarantee. However, dissatisfaction is unlikely. If you do the work like Isabel, Ana, and several others have, you will feel much better going into your interviews. Plus, you have lifetime access to the video lessons. We hope you see how valuable this is both now and for your future.
It is normal and natural to be shy when speaking another language! In other words, you are not alone. This course is designed to help you prepare effectively--both what you will say and your mindset--so that even if you are shy and nervous, you can still have your say during the interview. And if you're a perfectionist, know that it is better to speak and make mistakes than to miss out on practice. The best way to overcome shyness is by practicing. As you grow your vocabulary, it will get easier. Just remember–practice makes fluent. Everything gets easier with practice and experience–especially speaking. Our WhatsApp community knows that Lara celebrates mistakes--mistakes are learning opportunities. So go ahead! Make them. We will thank you.
Yes! Not only can you, but you should. Just make your request in our WhatsApp community.
The WhatsApp group is where you find support so that you can get answers to your questions, practice, and get feedback. It’s also for sharing your successes in your language learning and interviews! When you sign up for this course, you will find the link to access our WhatsApp group in the course website. Look for an "Access Granted" email with your log in details (check your spam folder if you haven't received it within 10 minutes of purchasing your membership). Once you login, you will find directions for logging in in the Onboarding section. Make sure you read the directions carefully for our community rules and setting your notifications. You can post whenever you want. Lara will reply the next business day (usually much sooner than that). HUB members reply when they want and to what they want. At the time of writing this answer, there are usually about 2 or 3 HUB queries or comments a day.
This course is for people who have little experience with job interviews, but will likely have one soon. This course works best when you can immediately apply what you learn. About language skills, you should already have learned the basics--basic vocabulary, grammar, listening, and pronunciation. It's primarily for intermediate and advanced speakers who want to focus on their speaking skills. "Native" English speakers and native-like English speakers alike can benefit from the course as well, although they likely can skip module Module 2 (Pronounce Key Words Clearly). This course is designed to help you prepare for a job interview where you must communicate in English. It's for self-starters--people who are not afraid to ask for what they want and to ask questions. It's for people willing to do the work--to practice, to participate in the WhatsApp group. It's for people who understand that the only way to build skills is through learning, practice, and feedback. The mission of English for Sustainability is to amplify the voices of people working or advocating for climate solutions. While it is not necessary to apply for or to be studying or employed in a sustainability-related job, we hope that you at least try to live lightly on the planet in your way.
This self-paced course is primarily for active or passive job seekers--people who want to be prepared for upcoming interviews. You can take the course before you have an interview to learn the process, or wait until you have an interview scheduled and use the course to prepare for it. To access the videos, you need a mobile device or computer and a strong wi-fi connection. To join the community, you will need the WhatsApp app.
There are opportunities to get feedback on your speaking skills in the WhatsApp community.Knowing what you do well and where you need to improve is essential to boosting your speaking skills.Lara will give feedback related to the task at hand, and will make corrections when there is a danger of misunderstanding what you said. Otherwise, she will not correct you since making mistakes is part of the process of gaining fluency (when people are corrected too often and for tiny details, it can be very discouraging, having the opposite effect of impeding fluency). Giving and receiving feedback is a balancing act, and what is helpful varies from person to person. For in-depth feedback, you may book a consultation (purchased separately).
You will still benefit from this set curriculum (unlike the HUB's resources and lessons, which are set based on members' needs). You'll get resources unavailable in the HUB , and a virtual 1:1 mock job interview that you must schedule within 2 months of purchasing the course. You will also get an additional 60-minute consultation (instead of the 2 free months in the HUB) with Lara for in-depth practice and feedback on any area they wish--Dr. Wallace can suggest which areas need the most attention. Please email her to arrange this. You'll be more solid than ever.
Absolutely! You'll find information on that on a separate page in this website. Look under "Courses."
There are many new jobs in sustainability-related industries, both remote positions and in multinational companies and organizations. These are the people who are bringing about the badly needed green transition. It’s time for people from all over the world to amplify their voices, influence, and income through these opportunities to advance climate solutions, protect the environment, and repair the soil.
What do these jobs have in common? English. It is the most broadly spoken language among multinational organizations in the sustainability sector. Without strong speaking skills and the willingness to use them, your speaking opportunities will be limited.
With over 5 years of focusing on sustainability professionals and enthusiasts and nearly 20 years of experience teaching graduate students at the university level to communicate effectively for a variety of audiences through speaking, presenting, and technical writing, her expertise in pronunciation pedagogy allows her to pinpoint and address communication barriers that clients can overcome by following a systematic approach that is immediately applicable to doing well in your job interview.
