Question

E

The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance，attitude (態(tài)度)and manners.

A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident（自信的）and positive attitude.

When you introduce yourself，make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don’t.

Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit，walk，gesture，use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positively about yourself?  Your abilities?  Your interest in the job?

Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice. When you speak，look at the interviewer. Also，don’t say negative things about yourself，or former employer.

Listen to questions carefully. If you don’t understand a question，ask the interviewer to repeat or explain：

“I’m sorry，but I didn’t catch that.”

“I’m not sure exactly what you mean.”

Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They don’t expect you to be totally calm and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.

At the end of the interview，thank the interviewer for her or his time.

It’s a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview，or deliver it by hand.

Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job.

Good luck！
