1. 1

   B 너 방에서 혼자 뭐 해? 노트북 보면서 계속 웃고 있던데.

   Neo bangeseo honja mwo hae? Noteubuk bomyeonseo gyesok utgo itdeonde.

   What are you doing alone in your room? You keep smiling at your laptop.

   A 형, 다음 주에 AI 면접이 있어서 연습 중이야. 프로그램이 내 표정이랑 목소리를 분석해서 점수를 매긴대.

   Hyeong, daeum jue AI myeonjeobi isseoseo yeonseup jungiya. Peurogeuraemi nae pyojeongirang moksorireul bunseokaeseo jeomsureul maegindae.

   I've got an AI interview next week, so I'm practising. The program analyses my face and voice and gives me a score.

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 아, 그거. 나도 작년에 봤어. 면접관 얼굴조차 없이 카메라만 보고 일방적으로 말하니까 진짜 어색하더라.

   A, geugeo. Nado jangnyeone bwasseo. Myeonjeopgwan eolguljocha eopsi kameraman bogo ilbangjeogeuro malhanikka jinjja eosaekadeora.

   Oh, that. I did one last year. There isn't even an interviewer's face; you just talk at a camera. It was really awkward.

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 그렇지? 질문이 화면에 뜨고 삼십 초 뒤에 바로 대답해야 돼. 생각할 시간도 거의 없어.

   Geureochi? Jilmuni hwamyeone tteugo samsip cho dwie baro daedapaeya dwae. Saenggakal sigando geoui eopseo.

   Right? The question pops up on the screen and you have to answer thirty seconds later. There's hardly any time to think.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 그 프로그램이 정확히 뭘 보는지는 회사들도 공개를 안 해. 근데 해 본 사람들 말로는 몇 가지가 있어.

   Geu peurogeuraemi jeonghwaki mwol boneunjineun hoesadeuldo gonggaereul an hae. Geunde hae bon saramdeul malloneun myeot gajiga isseo.

   Even the companies won't say exactly what the program looks at. But people who've done it say there are a few things.

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 뭔데? 빨리 알려 줘.

   Mwonde? Ppalli allyeo jwo.

   Like what? Tell me, quick.

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 첫째는 시선이야. 화면 속 네 얼굴 말고 카메라 렌즈를 봐야 돼. 눈을 자꾸 피하면 자신감이 없어 보인대.

   Cheotjjaeneun siseoniya. Hwamyeon sok ne eolgul malgo kamera renjeureul bwaya dwae. Nuneul jakku pihamyeon jasingami eopseo boindae.

   First, where you look. You have to look at the camera lens, not your face on the screen. If you keep looking away, you apparently come across as unconfident.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 아, 그래서 내가 계속 어색했구나. 나 아까부터 내 얼굴만 봤어.

   A, geuraeseo naega gyesok eosaekaetguna. Na akkabuteo nae eolgulman bwasseo.

   Oh, so that's why it felt weird. I've been looking at my own face the whole time.

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 그리고 말투. 똑같은 대답이라도 말하기에 따라 점수가 완전히 달라진대. 습관적으로 '음, 어' 하면 감점이고.

   Geurigo maltu. Ttokgateun daedabirado malhagie ttara jeomsuga wanjeonhi dallajindae. Seupgwanjeogeuro 'eum, eo' hamyeon gamjeomigo.

   And how you talk. Even with the same answer, your score can be completely different depending on how you say it. If you keep saying "um" and "uh" out of habit, you lose points.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 그럼 아까처럼 계속 웃는 건 어때? 웃고 있으면 좋아 보이지 않을까?

    Geureom akkacheoreom gyesok unneun geon eottae? Utgo isseumyeon joa boiji aneulkka?

    Then what about smiling the whole time like I was earlier? Won't that look good?

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 억지웃음은 오히려 티가 나. 목소리를 또렷하게 내고 자연스럽게 웃는 게 제일이야.

    Eokjiuseumeun ohiryeo tiga na. Moksorireul ttoryeotage naego jayeonseureopge unneun ge jeiriya.

    A forced smile actually shows. Speaking clearly and smiling naturally is best.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 근데 형, 기계가 사람을 제대로 평가할 수 있을까? 표정이랑 목소리만으로?

    Geunde hyeong, gigyega sarameul jedaero pyeonggahal su isseulkka? Pyojeongirang moksorimaneuro?

    But do you think a machine can really judge a person? Just from their face and voice?

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 나도 그게 의문이야. 긴장하면 표정이 굳는 지원자도 있고, 원래 목소리가 작은 사람도 있잖아. 보기에 따라서는 불공평하지.

    Nado geuge uimuniya. Ginjanghamyeon pyojeongi gunneun jiwonjado itgo, wollae moksoriga jageun saramdo itjana. Bogie ttaraseoneun bulgongpyeonghaji.

    I wonder about that too. Some applicants' faces freeze up when they're nervous, and some people just have quiet voices. Depending on how you look at it, it's unfair.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 그러니까. 말을 잘한다고 일도 잘하는 건 아니잖아. 이러다 연기 잘하는 사람만 뽑히겠어.

    Geureonikka. Mareul jalhandago ildo jalhaneun geon anijana. Ireoda yeongi jalhaneun saramman ppopigesseo.

    Exactly. Being a good talker doesn't make you good at the job. At this rate they'll only hire good actors.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 회사들도 그걸 알아서 채용할 때 AI 면접은 참고만 하고 결국 사람이 다시 면접을 본대. 그러니까 너무 겁먹지 마.

    Hoesadeuldo geugeol araseo chaeyonghal ttae AI myeonjeobeun chamgoman hago gyeolguk sarami dasi myeonjeobeul bondae. Geureonikka neomu geommeokji ma.

    The companies know that, so when they hire, they only use the AI interview for reference, and in the end people interview you again. So don't be too scared.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 그래도 AI 면접에서 떨어지면 사람 면접조차 못 보잖아.

    Geuraedo AI myeonjeobeseo tteoreojimyeon saram myeonjeopjocha mot bojana.

    Still, if I fail the AI one, I won't even get to the human interview.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 맞아. 그러니까 연습하자. 내가 옆에서 볼게. 질문 하나 띄워 봐.

    Maja. Geureonikka yeonseupaja. Naega yeopeseo bolge. Jilmun hana ttuiwo bwa.

    Right. So let's practise. I'll watch. Bring up a question.

    Line 17
18. 18

    A "우리 회사에 지원한 동기를 말씀해 주십시오." 음... 저는 어릴 때부터...

    "Uri hoesae jiwonhan donggireul malsseumhae jusipsio." Eum... jeoneun eoril ttaebuteo...

    "Please tell us why you applied to our company." Um... Ever since I was little...

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 스톱. 벌써 '음'이 나왔어. 그리고 또 네 얼굴 보고 있잖아. 카메라, 카메라.

    Seutop. Beolsseo 'eum'i nawasseo. Geurigo tto ne eolgul bogo itjana. Kamera, kamera.

    Stop. There's an "um" already. And you're looking at your own face again. Camera, camera.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 아, 진짜 어렵다. 기계 앞에서조차 이렇게 떨리는데 진짜 면접은 어떡하지?

    A, jinjja eoryeopda. Gigye apeseojocha ireoke tteollineunde jinjja myeonjeobeun eotteokaji?

    Ugh, this is so hard. If I'm this nervous even in front of a machine, what am I going to do in the real interview?

    Line 20
21. 21

    B 기계라고 생각하지 말고, 렌즈가 형 눈이라고 생각해. 침착하게, 자, 다시 한번.

    Gigyerago saenggakaji malgo, renjeuga hyeong nunirago saenggakae. Chimchakage, ja, dasi hanbeon.

    Don't think of it as a machine. Think of the lens as my eyes. Stay calm. Okay, one more time.
