ESLPod.com presents "Interview Questions Answered," episode two.

I have these new qualifications because I studied,and this is a reason why she's "looking for a company that will allow" her "to more fully utilized my new skills and where I can take on new challenges."
So, now that she has these skills-these new skills-that she can't really use at her current job at Lotadoe Industries,
she says, "Well, now I'm looking for another company that will allow me to use," or utilize.
The verb, to utilize, "utilize," is the same as to use.
So, she wants to "more fully utilize," meaning she wants to use them completely-she wants to use all of the skills that she has.
She finishes her answer-and remember you want to keep the answer short for this question-by saying "What I see in this" company "is also the opportunity for growth and advancement."
Here she's complimenting the company.
She's saying, "Well, I like this company. I want to leave my job because this is a good company."
She uses two words that would be common in describing a company that you might want to work for.
One is that there is opportunity for growth, "growth."
The word growth comes from the verb to grow, "grow," which normally means to get bigger or to get older.
In this case, the noun, growth, is really talking about becoming better-becoming better at something, either personally or professionally.
So, she says she's looking for "the opportunity for growth"-the possibility that she can get better at what she does.
She's also looking for "advancement."
This is an important word, advancement, "advancement."
Advancement is the same as promotion-getting a higher level job-getting a better job.
If you're looking for opportunities for advancement, you're looking for a company that can give you a better job-a higher level job.
This shows the employer that you are ambitious-that you want to succeed; you want to be successful.
