GETTING THROUGH A JOB INTERVIEW
Everybody feels nervous before a job interview, particularly if it's the first one you've ever had. However, if
you remember the four things below, the interviewers will definitely be impressed with your skills and
attitude. Even if you don't get the job, you should feel good about your performance.
Before your interview, research the company. This is usually easy now, because companies have websites with
a lot of information. Don't worry too much about what the company makes or who it sells to. Try to
understand instead what it believes in and wants to achieve. You must find out about the job you are applying
for, too. Prepare to talk about how your skills and experience match the job requirements. Think of some
questions they might ask and then practise answering them.
Dress neatly in a professional way in clothes that you think are correct for the company. You can often get a
good idea from photographs of staff on their website. But if you are not sure, wear business clothes – a suit or
a blouse and a skirt or trousers, rather than a T-shirt and jeans. This shows you respect the interviewers.
Arrive early. Check the location of the interview carefully and plan your route, allowing extra time in case
there are any delays. This seems obvious, but it is surprising how often people arrive late for interviews. If
Mã đề 123 Page 3/3
you are even a few minutes late, you will arrive feeling upset. Moreover, arriving on time shows that you are
reliable. It also demonstrates that you respect the interviewers' busy schedules.
During the interview, listen carefully to the questions and answer them clearly and confidently. Use examples
from your past experience to illustrate your skills and qualifications. Keep good eye contact and body
position. Prepare some questions about the company, the team or the job itself to show your interest and help
you decide if the job is right for you … if they offer it to you!

A. people in good companies never wear these types of clothes
