designed to help the interviewee successfully interview and get the job he/ she wants:

Preparing for the Interview

1. Know the exact and time of the interview, the interviewer‘s full name, the

correct pronunciation and his or her title.

2. Learn pertinent facts about the company such as annual sales revenue,

principal lines of business and locations.

3. Find out why the hiring manager and/ or client representative is interested in

your qualifications.

4. Determine how the opportunity will impact your immediate and long-term

career development.

5. An interview is a ―two-way street.‖ Know what questions to ask during the

interview. Your questions allow the hiring manager to evaluate your professional and personal needs. Insightful questions help both of you determine if your relationship will be mutually rewarding. Lastly, the better you understand the opportunity, the more you will be able to communicate your interest in the position.

6. Put your best foot forward. Always wear proper attire and greet your

interviewer with a firm handshake and an enthusiastic smile.

Some “DOs” and “DON’Ts”

1. Do plan to arrive on time or a few minutes early. Late arrival for a job

interview is never excusable.

2. If presented with an application, do fill it out neatly and completely. Don‘t rely

on your application or resume to do the selling for you. Interviewers will want you to speak for yourself.

3. Do greet the interviewer by last name if you are sure of the pronunciation. If

not, ask the employer to repeat it. Give the appearance of energy as you walk. Smile! Shake hands firmly. Be genuinely glad to meet the interviewer.

4. Do wait until you are offered a chair before sitting. Sit upright, look alert and

interested at all times. Be a good listener as well as a good communicator. 5. Do look a prospective employer in the eye while speaking.

6. Do follow the interviewer‘s leads, but try to get the interviewer to describe the

position and the duties to you early in the interview so that you can apply your background, skills and accomplishments to the position.

7. Do make sure that your good points come across to the interviewer in a factual,

sincere manner. Stress achievements. For example, sales records, process developed, savings achieved, systems installed, etc.

8. Do always conduct yourself as if you are determined to get the job you are

discussing. Never close the door on opportunity.

9. Do show enthusiasm. If you are interested in the opportunity, enthusiastic

feedback can enhance your chances of being further considered. If you are not interested, your responsiveness will still demonstrate your professionalism. 10. Don‘t forget to bring a copy of your resume! Keep several copies in your

briefcase if you are afraid you will forget.

31

11. Don‘t smoke, even if the interviewer does and offers you a cigarette. Do not

chew gum.

12. Don‘t answer with a simple ―yes‖ or ―no.‖ Explain whenever possible.

Describe those things about yourself which relate to the situation. 13. Don‘t lie. Answer questions truthfully, frankly and succinctly.

14. Don‘t make unnecessary derogatory remarks about your present or former

employers. Obviously, there were issues or else you would not have left a prior company or be looking to leave a present employer. However, when explaining your reasons for leaving, limit your comments to those necessary to adequately communicate your rationale.

15. Don‘t over-answer questions. And if the interviewer steers the conversation

into politics or controversial issues, try to do more listening than speaking since this could be a sensitive situation.

16. Don‘t inquire about salary, vacations, bonuses, retirement, etc., on the initial

interview unless you are sure the employer is interested in hiring you. If the interviewer asks what salary you want, indicate what you‘ve earned but that you‘re more interested in opportunity than in a specific salary.

2. Michael Jordan(1963－):

American professional basketball player, considered by many to be the greatest player in basketball history. The 6 ft 6 in (198cm) shooting guard first became known as an explosive individual scorer, but as he matured as a player he adopted a more team-oriented approach to the game. Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six National Basketball Association (NBA) championships (1991-1993, 1996-1998). His widespread appeal to fans has helped keep basketball one of the world‘s most popular spectator sports. 课文语篇 I. 课文主题
