and discuss the questions.Example answers For a job in information technology I think I would bring a range of useful IT skills because I have been working part-time helping to solve software problems in a computer company.For a job in a fitness centre,I have a good background in sports and athletics.Ive been playing basketball,swimming and playing tennis regularly.242 Yes,of course,because they have thought about and advertised the post so they must know the kind of person and the range of skills they need.Not necessarily.Many employers advertise that they want a range of skills or particular experience but these are like fishing hooks that they put out to see who they might catch.253 Id ask why they are interested in the job andwhat skills they bring to it.I would tell themabout a problem that has arisen or might arise,then ask the candidates what they would do to solve it;from this I think I could judge their general approach to the work.264 People could be asked to perform a particular task or solve a problem that is related to the job.Sometimes there is a kind of group interview which may last for one or two days,in which candidates have to work together to perform different tasks.These would be improvements on a single face-to-face interview.27Language and cultureThe job listings are the lists of jobs and vacant positions in the newspapers or journals.I dont have that day means I am not free that day.Overqualified means too well qualified for aparticular job.Underqualified means withoutenough qualifications for a particular job.28Phyllis Stein is a professional career counsellor who advises individuals about their careers,about job applications and interviews,and gives workshops in the Boston area of Massachusetts.A mock interview is a practice interview,like a rehearsal,to prepare with guidance for real interviews.29To stay on target means to remain focusedon the main objective or idea.A bed and breakfast is a small hotel or private house that provides a room for the night and a meal the next morning.Theyare generally cheaper than a larger hotel and often used by tourists or those traveling on a limited budget.To fidget means to keep making small quick movements with parts of your body because you are bored,nervous or impatient.Back30Job interviewsWatch the following three job interviews.Discuss with your partner what they do good

interviews.If the first one was successful she probably wouldnt need to have further interviews.394 She tries again with another interview for a different job.5 It seems that this is not successful either Because she has further interviews.6 She has probably learnt how to be a better candidate in interviews!She may have learnt which jobs she should really be applying for.Perhaps for the first couple of interviews she was applying for jobs which were not really suitable for her,so no wonder she didnt get them.Back40In the first job interview she looked nervous and she fidgeted.She answered the first questions by simply stating something without giving any examples from previous work or from her life to support that this is true.She overuses words like“really”which makes her sound thoughtless or insincere.She makes a big mistake by saying that she is overqualified.Example summary41In future interviews she should practice so that she doesnt feel nervous.She should present herself as a smart,professional and careful person.She should support her answers with reference to concrete examples and details from her work experience or life.She should also prepare by finding out information about the company and the specific job,so that she knows in detail what they are looking for then she can give better answers.Back42Appropriate Job Interview Attire43
