2. a. Sort out the ideas on how to create a positive impression on the employer at a job interview.

An interview is mostly about selling your personality. From the way you enter a room to the clothes you wear, plenty of opportunities exist to let your personality shine. Preparing and practising for your interview gives you a good chance for success. However, you need to consider basic things you can do that either help, or hurt you during the interview.

Do’s

Dont’s

a) Make a good first impression. b) Use vulgar language. c) Dress appropriately. d) Show your bad habits. e) Show confidence and professionalism. f) Speak negatively. g) Initiate inappropriate discussion topics. h) Use electronics. i) Be honest. j) Prepare all necessary documents.

b. Match the Do’s and Dont’s from ex. 2a to the paragraphs.

1. Enter the room with a friendly, confident smile, greeting the hiring manager with eye contact and offering a firm, professional handshake. These behaviours will help you to make a positive first impression on the interviewer.

2. When you give your answers to questions, add examples to strengthen your points. For instance, give an example of when you offered great service or helped resolve that problem you said you are good at solving. Speak openly about your abilities, but with respect to the interviewer and the company.

3. Dress in a way that shows your personality while still following the company’s dress code.

4. Give honest opinions, while being polite and expressive. The more honest you are, the better chance you have of finding a position that is a good match for your personality. For example, if an interviewer asks you how you feel about working late you can say, “I understand that there are times when I will need to work late, and I will do so. However, I strive to give 150 percent while I’m at work, so I can finish my workday on time and go home to my family.”

5. When applying for a job, be sure to bring all the requested supporting documents in the format requested in the job listing. These documents may include an application form, a resume [‘rezju:mei] or CV [‘si:vi:], a portfolio, letters of recommendation, certifications (teaching or computer certifications, for example) and other supporting documentation. If the company requests that supporting documentation be brought to the interview, bring a photocopy of each of the requested documents with you for the hiring manager.

6. Interviewers often ask trap questions during the course of the interview. A common example is “Tell me what you liked and did not like about your last job.” Even if you previously worked for the most abusive boss in the industry, avoid talking poorly about them or other colleagues during your interview. Don’t complain about past working conditions or low salaries. If you had a bad work experience, and you’re asked why you left the job, simply explain that you decided to explore new opportunities.

7. Turn off your mobile phone before you even walk into the interview setting. Never check your e-mail or text messages during an interview. This rule applies to all electronic devices, including laptops and tablets. If you forget to turn your phone off and it rings during the interview, apologise and silence it. Never pick it up and begin a conversation.

8. Don’t use slang or poor grammar during an interview. Try to avoid words and expressions such as, “yeah,” “ya know” and too many “ums.” The way you present yourself verbally says a lot about how you will interact with clients and customers, so speak clearly and authoritatively with professionalism and respect.

9. If bad habits are a part of your personality, try to diminish them. For instance, if you are an impatient person, don’t tap your foot or sigh during the interview.

10. Don’t initiate or get drawn into inappropriate discussion topics. If the interviewer asks you what you like to do for fun, there’s no need to tell him you are lazy, even if it is the truth. You should also avoid topics of an overly personal nature. There’s no reason to talk about subjects other than those related to the job, the company, your work history and your qualifications.

c. Explain the words in bold.

d. Derive nouns from the verbs below and make up true sentences with them about your future job interview. Use the article in ex. 2b for help.

Apply, qualify, recommend, certify, impress, express, document, discuss, converse.

e. Discuss in pairs. What is inappropriate to do during a job interview?
