I appreciate the time you took to interview me.

I also appreciate your coming here. Please tell me about you. First, how did you choose this course out of other courses in this school? This course is held early in the morning and deals with difficult issues. You might quit this if you are not enthusiastic. Are you interested in the topics of finance?

I also appreciate your coming here. Please tell me about yourself. First, how did you choose this course out of other courses in this school? This course is held early in the morning and deals with difficult issues. You might quit    if you are not enthusiastic about it. Are you interested in the topics of finance?

1. Your sentence was correct but rather casual for a job interview. You'd better use the reflective pronoun "yourself" to sound more formal.
2,3. Your sentence was correct, but you have been using "this" a lot. Use "it" to refer to the singular noun you have already mentioned (this course).
Yes, sir. I already have some knowledge about this course and I am convinced that I would like to take it up.

Oh, I am glad to hear that. I have a plan to offer some knowledge of finance, especially corporate finance. And then, What is your goal to take up this course? Our time is limited, so we should use it effectively. Someone says "time is money", right? It might be useless if your goal is far from this course.

On another note, what is your goal in taking up this course? Our time is limited, so we should use it effectively. As the saying goes, "time is money", right? It might be useless if your goal is far from our expectations for this course.

1. We don't usually start the sentence with "and." You can either place a comma before "and" or use another expression as I did above.
2. You can't capitalize a non-proper noun after a comma.
3. We have no such expression as "goal to do something." You have these two options:
  A. What is your goal to achieve by taking up this course?
  B. What is your goal in taking up this course?
4. We never say "someone says" when we want to bring up a saying. "Someone" refers to only one person. You can either say "people say" or more naturally, "as the saying goes."
5. You cannot compare a goal with a course. Things that you compare should be of nearly the same type. That's why I made this change for more clarity.
I would like to become more knowledgeable in finance and eventually take up a course in finance. What are some of the benefits of this course?

There are mainly two benefits for the participants. At first, You will learn the central intuitions of finance. You do not need any prerequisite knowledge. Some people ask me if they need to learn maths before this course, but what you need is not math but perseverance. Second, You will understand economic news. This will lead you to widen your field of view and aid your career.

There are mainly two benefits for the participants.    First, you will learn the central intuitions of finance. You don't need any prerequisite knowledge. Some people ask me if they need to learn math before this course, but what you need is not math but perseverance. Second, You'll understand the nature of economic news. This will lead you to widen your field of view and aid your career.

1. When you talk about the steps of doing something, use "first, second, etc." "At first" is used to talk about the beginning of a situation, especially when it is different now: At first, I didn't like this dish, but now I'm in love with it.
2. You can't capitalize a non-proper noun after a comma.
3. Try to use contractions in everyday English as using contractions makes you sound warmer and friendlier.
4,5. Americans say "math," and the British say "maths." You need to make sure you follow one format throughout your text.
6. I added this word to allow for a better flow of speech. You are not talking about understanding the content of a single piece of news.
