22、 job interview is that this is not a one-sided affair. You can treat it in the same way that you treat a negotiation. After all, both you and the prospective employer are selling something. If you approach an interview with the attitude “any job will do”, the interviewer will realize that immediatel
23、y. If the job is worth anything, you wont get it. You should prepare yourself for an interview just as you would do for a negotiation. Find out as much as you can about the company and the person who is to interview you. Dont be caught unawares. Go to the internet and look at the companys website. C
24、ompare it with that of its competitors. Alternatively, look at the Yellow Pages or trade magazines to see how they advertise themselves. Make enquiries at the Chamber of Commerce and other relevant organizations. Find out at least a little about the sector so that you can ask interesting questions.T
25、hink of and note down your strengths and the opportunities that lie ahead. No matter how high unemployment is, regardless of how miserable you are in your current job, its always an advantage to see things in a positive light. If you have little or no experience in a particular area, consider your c
26、apabilities in a similar area. Spend some time trying to imagine what type of employee the company is looking for and what makes you suitable for the job being advertised.First impressions count, so look good and feel good before you go. Choose clothes that make you feel confident. Find out what clo
27、thes may put the interviewer off. Ensure you arrive at the interview with time to spare. According to more than one recruitment agency we spoke to, interviewees must understand the importance not only of their personal appearance but also of their body language. During the interview breathe calmly a
28、nd try not to appear too nervous. Look the interviewer in the eye and adopt similar body language to theirs. Smile and feel relaxed, enthusiastic and assertive. Remember one thing, though, assertive does not mean aggressive.Dont just answer “yes” or “no” to questions. Treat every question as an oppo
29、rtunity to demonstrate that you are suitable for the job, but remember to stick to the point. When asked about your interests, include group as well as individual activities. Be on the lookout for tricky questions about your personal life. You dont need to lie; just sell yourself in the best light.
30、This is something the interviewer needs to be able to do as well. You have the right to find out whether or not you want to work for the company. Furthermore, your interest in the nature of the company and how it is run may well end up being your big selling point.Section 3 Writing a Letter of Appli
31、cation and Resume A: Hey, here is an advertisement for the position of Personnel Assistant. I want to try it through a job application letter and my resume Do you know how to sell my qualifications to the company effectively?B: According to what I know, in such a letter, you should present the organ
