　　So you have been called for an interview—well done! Your effort has been paid off. Now to get the job. You will feel better at the interview if you show an understanding of the nature of the organization.

　　Ask someone who already does it, or check it out with one of the CES advisers.

　　Arrange (安排) with a member of family or a friend to act as the employer (雇主) and to give you an unreal interview. But as realistic as possible, answer the questions seriously. Afterwards discuss how it went.

　　Think about how the employer would prefer to see you look. Remember the majority of employers are over 30.

　　It is not wise to rush out and buy new clothes which will be worn for the first time at the interview. You'll feel more at ease in a familiar garment.

　　Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job. Arrive at least 15 minutes before time. This will give you a chance to have a look around, read the notice board and get the feel of the place. Lateness at interviews creates a bad impression. The first impression the interviewer gets of you is formed as you walk through the door, so take a couple of deep breathes. He ready to shake hands if the interviewer offers, and don't take a seat until asked. Then sit comfortably.

　　Make eye contact when you are and again if you shake hands, and during questioning. Eye contact is a form of non-verbal (非語言交際的)greeting. It opens up the communication channel.

　　Remember the interviewer's name and use it from time to time.

　　Be ready for the question“Was there anything you wanted to ask?”Before the interview you should get ready for two or three such questions. Look on these not just as a chance to get information but as a means to improve your prospects (展望) in the employer's estimation (估計). Asking can show knowledge and avoid asking about holidays, pension and so on. It looks as if you're tired even before you begin. You can check on these later, when the hoped-for job is offered.

　　And if you fail, look upon the interview as an experience in itself. Learn from it. We wish you good luck and good job hunting.

I still remember my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.

No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all.

My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course.

“He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.

After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.

“He’s big enough and useless enough.” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.

I suppose Mr. Jones, who served as the judge, remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty (懲罰). As the boy kicked the ball to my right, I threw myself down instinctively (本能地) and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were injured and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.

“Do you want to join my gang (幫派)?” he said.

At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.
