✦Grammar Breakdown

Werden (wirst)
'Werden' is the auxiliary verb used to form the future tense in German. 'Wirst' is the conjugation for 'du' (you, singular informal). It translates to 'will' or 'are going to'.
Vorstellungsgespräch
This is a compound noun meaning 'job interview'. It's a combination of 'Vorstellung' (introduction/presentation) and 'Gespräch' (conversation). Remember that all German nouns are capitalized.
Mit dem Team
'Mit' is a dative preposition, meaning 'with'. Therefore, the noun following it ('Team') takes the dative case. 'Dem' is the dative masculine/neuter definite article for 'das Team'.
Haben
In this context, 'haben' (to have) is the main verb in its infinitive form, placed at the end of the sentence when 'werden' is used for the future tense.

✕Common Mistakes
Ja, du bekommst ein Vorstellungsgespräch mit dem Team.
While 'bekommen' means 'to get', 'ein Vorstellungsgespräch haben' (to have an interview) is the more natural and idiomatic expression in German.
Ja, du hast ein Vorstellungsgespräch mit dem Team werden.
The future tense in German is formed with 'werden' + infinitive. 'Hast' is present tense and cannot be combined this way for future.

Du hast ein Gespräch mit dem Team.
You have a conversation with the team. (More informal/present tense)
