Simuler un entretien d’embauche en italien

What does “un entretien d’embauche” mean in French?

This is the normal French way to say “a job interview.” It has two parts. “Un entretien” is a serious talk or meeting. “Embauche” comes from the verb “embaucher,” which means to hire someone. Together they describe a meeting where a company decides to hire you. Be careful: “entretien” looks like “entertainment,” but it is not. The two words are not related.

In the clip the host says: “je vais vous proposer une vidéo interactive pour simuler un entretien d’embauche” — “I’m going to give you an interactive video to do a job interview.” He repeats the phrase several times, so it is easy to hear and copy. Word family: the verb is “embaucher” (to hire someone), and the noun “l’embauche” means the hiring itself. The opposite is “débaucher” (to let someone go, or to get someone to leave their job). You can also say “passer un entretien” (to take an interview) and “décrocher un entretien” (to get an interview). Note: “un entretien” has a second common meaning — the care or upkeep of something, as in “l’entretien d’une voiture” (car maintenance). Same word, very different sense. The job-interview meaning is the one you need at work.
