Passage OneSome candidates for jobs were wearing jeans, purple sweat suits, and sneakers. Other applicants werent afraid to show pierced body parts and odd hairstyles. Still others chewed gum or showed up in clothes with wrinkles or with their pants falling down. One recruiter even told a candidate with his trousers down below his hips, to “Pull your pants up.” Their strange choice of dress cost some candidates the job. Does it really make a difference how you dress for an interview? In many cases, it does. Ill never forget the gentleman I interviewed for an accounting position. He had been out of work for a few months and wanted to show me why. He took off his jacket, unbuttoned his shirt and showed me the scar that he got from a car accident. He didnt get the job. Neither did the young lady in a bright red skirt so short and tight that she could hardly sit down! In the conservative business climate I worked in at the time, appearances did matter. In other environments it isnt as important. However, it does make sense to dress your best for an interview, regardless of the dress code at the organization. If youre in doubt about how to dress for an interview, it is best to dress conservatively. It is much better to be overdressed than underdressed (or undressed). If youre not sure, check with the person who scheduled the interview and ask. 6.Which of the following is proper for an interview?A. Wearing jeans and a T-shirt.B. Wearing a shirt and a suit.C. Having an unusual hairstyle.D. Wearing poorly-fitting trousers.7.Why didnt the man get the job for the accounting position?A. Because he was injured in an accident.B. Because he wore a jacket.C. Because he had been out of work for a long time.D. Because he didnt behave properly.8.What does the sentence in the last paragraph “It is much better to be overdressed than underdressed (or undressed).” mean?A. To wear more clothes is better than to wear less.B. To dress formally is better than to dress casually.C. The outer garments are more important than the underwear.D. Simple clothes are not as good as expensive clothes.Passage TwoAre you tired of rushing day in and day out to a 9-to-5 job? If you are, perhaps, you should try out one of the many very simple home business ideas youll find if you look around.There are many advantages in running your own home business rather than working for a company.
