HOW TO PREPARE FOR JOB INTERVIEWS
You've been invited for interview find now you want to make sure you do everything within your power to get
the job. So what do you need to do to prepare yourself for the big day?
Firstly, you should find out as much as you possibly can about the position, the company, the industry and
even the interview. You should go to your prospective employer's website on the Internet, where the company
presents itself as it wants to be seen; relevant trade journals will then tell you how it is viewed by others. You
should perhaps also speak to people who work or have worked for the company, if at all possible.
All this information will give you a great deal to talk about during the interview and so help create the right
impression. The more you know, the greater your competitive edge over other candidates.
To help increase confidence, many people practise rhe interview in frant of a mirror. However, you should
instead try it out with a real person: it's far more realistic and it gives you the chance to ask him or her for some

• What do you consider to be your major strengths and weaknesses?

• Why do you want to work for this company?
• Where do you see yourself in five years' time?
An interview is also your chance to decide whether you want to work for the company, so be prepared to ask
three or four relevant questions yourself. You shouldn't ever underestimate the effect of your appearance on the
interviewer: make sure you wear a suit to the interview, even if the normal working environment of the
company allows for more informal dress.
Punctuality is another crucial factor with regards to first impressions, and for this reason you should always
arrive at the interview site at least 15 minutes before your scheduled meeting. All that's left now is the interview
itself. See over for information and advice on successful interview strategies.

a second job. We are not concerned with those looking for a second temporary position while hunting for a
permanent job. Nor are we concerned with those leaving an unsatisfactory job within the first few weeks.
Instead, we will be dealing with those of you taking a real step on the career ladder, choosing a job to fit in with
your ambitions now that you have learned your way around, acquired some skills and have some idea of where
you want to go.
What sort of job should you look for? Much depends on your long-term aim. You need to ask yourself whether
you want to specialise in a particular field, work your way up to higher levels of responsibility or out of your
current employment into a broader field.
Whatever, you decide, you should choose your second job very carefully. You should be aiming to stay in it
for two or three years.
This job will be studied very carefully when you send your letter of application for your next job. It should
show evidence of serious career planning. Most important, it should extend you, develop you and give you
increasing responsibility. Incidentally, if the travel bug is biting, now is the time to pack up and go. You can do
temporary work for a while when you return, pick up where you leftoff and get the second job then. Future

potential employers will be relieved to see that you have got it out of your system, and are not likely to go off
again.

II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy
were pinned was the ideal that its citizens world be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and
the opportunity for individual achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the power
belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress ofthat democracy and is the catalyst for
future progress. This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new
information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of
potential success and a driving force of change. It is important to recognize, however, that we approach
education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn't require the kind of
basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance,
only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled, and 60 percent as
unskilled. Today, our world has changed. The proportion of 'unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while
skilled jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even more important, almost every job today
increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout
a lifetime.

A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far
B. the government of the United States wants to drive, social changes in their own ways
C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce
D. any American citizen who wants to change his driving license must be very well-educated
47. The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US between the 1950s
and now.
A. has remained the same B. has changed dramatically
C. has been reversed D. has changed slightly
48. The phrase 'enlightened individuals' in the first sentence most likely means 'people who '
A. always appear brilliant-looking in public B. have often been well-exposed to light
C. have acquired an adequate level of education D. bring light to anywhere they go
49. In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author's point of view, any individual must…
A. know well all his / her rights and be ready to grasp his / her opportunity of success in life
B. study carefully the history of American educational and vocational systems

C. even since their creation understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical skill
