Exercise 29. Retell the text in writing.

At the end of the interview you may ask some questions about your possible duties, working conditions (hours or holidays) but wait for the interviewer to mention the question of starting salary. Money is a delicate issue and being greedy will not get you a job. Think of concrete figures – you should base on the average salary of other employees with your qualification.

It’s evident that getting a job depends on many factors, among them writing a strong job application and resume. Your behaviour during an interview, however, is often the best and most important stage in getting a job. The interview is an opportunity for the applicant to project his / her personality and convince the interviewers of his / her suitability for the job.

Be ready to speak about yourself. Describe briefly your experience at previous jobs and the good results you achieved there. When speaking about your failures or mistakes be sure to emphasize the conclusion you have drawn after analyzing your failures and what they taught you. The capacity to overcome failures and analyze mistakes is valuable to any company. You should organize your thoughts logically, have self-confidence and never distort facts or try to persuade people to your way of thinking.

Never be late. If you come too early, it is better to walk around outside. Pay attention to the way you are dressed. Your clothing should meet the requirements of business style and you should feel comfortable in your suit. When you are properly dressed you demonstrate respect and consideration for those with whom you interact and you’ll have a better chance of succeeding at the interview. Your hairstyle, nails and choice of cosmetics will contribute to your appearance.
