I. Read and translate the text.
An interview is a meeting between you — a person who applies for a job, and
your future employer or his representative. For the employee the aim of the interview
is to get an interesting and well-paid job, and for the employer, to find the most sat-
isfactory employee. Both of them want the interview to be successful, and if they talk
sincerely they have a chance to succeed.
You, as an applicant, should try to make a good impression. If it is possible find out
from the employment agency, or contacts at the firm, friends etc., any information
about the company and the person who will be your boss, this gives you an advantage
in preparing for the interview.
Very important at interviews is the first impression. Most important is
appearance, this means cleanliness (what the English often refer to as the "well scrubbed
look") together with smart clothes. This does not necessarily mean expensive clothes, but
clothes of good appearance. Above all don't forget shoes! Many applicants have lost a
job because although wearing a smart suit or dress, they wore dirty shoes or jogging
shoes for their interview. Finally a nice smile on your face — look happy to be there,
not terrified, and when you talk, speak slowly, and clearly. If you stutter and do not
articulate you certainly won't get the job!
Punctuality is of paramount importance, this means BE ON TIME! Not 10 minutes
early, and certainly not late, but quite simply knocking on the door at exactly the
appointed time. You should bring a pen as you will probably have to fill out an application
form. You must not have chewing gum in your mouth, suck sweets or smoke during
an interview. You must remember to bring school certificates or certificates of
graduation from training courses, letters of reference. You must not drink alcohol before
an interview as it may make you either too sleepy, aggressive or too excited and
loud, and the odour of beer will certainly not be appreciated by your future
employer.
An interview takes the form of many questions and answers. Let the interviewer
ask questions first without interruption, and make your answers in a polite and sincere
way. Be clear and concise when answering questions. Do not say only "yes" or "no", give
a full explanation when necessary and never shrug your shoulders, yawn or fidget. At the
very beginning do not forget to shake hands with the interviewer providing he or
she offers their hand, and be sure your handshake is firm and not a "wet fish" handshake.
Also sit down only when you are invited to.
Listen carefully when the employer talks about your duties. Show how much you
are interested in them, and ask polite questions if you want to know more. If it turns
out you do not know how to use a computer for example, be honest and say so, but
assure the interviewer of your willingness to learn. Talk about your schooling and skills,
and about your previous jobs in a positive way. Never criticize your previous bosses, and
at the end of the interview don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have
regarding salary, working hours, holidays etc. Do not be disappointed if the interviewer
does not tell you the job is yours, he may well have many more candidates yet to see,
before making a decision. If the answer is positive, ask when and what time you should
commence. If the answer is negative do not complain or worry, try again in another
place. By applying for jobs and going for interviews you also acquire experience.​
