Have you recently moved to the US and are navigating speaking, presenting, on-camera work, or other scenarios where you are working in a second language?

Role play for an interview or position that requires interactions with people in English such as practicing questions for an interview, interacting with a client in your field, explaining material on-camera.
*I am not certified in ESL but have grown up living with exchange students as well as working with professionals from a variety of countries working to navigate communication skills in the US. Having seen through friends and co-workers the struggles of navigating a second culture and language I admire the courage it takes to step into a new culture. The work we can do can support you, wherever you might be in your language journey to feel more confident and comfortable communicating and navigating communication in the US.
