Hi everyone
Welcome to Business English class
A job interview is the most
critical part of the job search process
It¡¯s also very important
to make the best impression
on your potential employer
When you are interviewing for a job
there are many things you should do
to ensure interview success
And there are also some things
you shouldn¡¯t do
Now let¡¯s watch a video
No doubt
the boy failed in the interview
As we can see
he made many common mistakes
such at dressing casually
Employers are evaluating more than your words
your body language
and actions tell a lot about you
Now let¡¯s enjoy another video
and pay attention to the
manner and how she answers questions
Of course
this job interview is quite successful
Now
let¡¯s think about a question
how to make a successful interview
The first part
you should prepare properly in advance
Before interview
discover as much
as you can about the company and the job
and bring extra copies
of your resume and references
Then prepare several questions
to ask the employer
The last one you should remember
practice answering questions
The more you prepare
the more comfortable you¡¯ll feel
Second part
well know proper job interview etiquette
Here are some Do¡¯s and Don¡¯ts
during a job interview
One
We should dress properly
Avoid dressing too casually
just like the boy in the first video
Two
Knock on the door and enter the room
politely instead of just rushing in
Three
Look at the interviewer
Make eye contact and smile
Don¡¯t look sideways
Four
While answering questions
talk frankly and wisely
Don¡¯t talk too much or show off
Do well in the job interview
and avoid common mistakes
You¡¯ll get a very good start
The last part
wisely answer job interview questions
As for the question
why do you want to work here
It is important to show
your interest in the company
And talk about how your professional skills
will benefit the company
For example
this is not only a very good opportunity
but this company is a very good place
where my qualifications
can make a difference
The second questions
Why did you leave your last job
The interviewer may want to know
if you had any problem on your last job
If you did not have any problems
simply give the reason
such as I want a change
it was only a temporary job
Now the third question
what is your major weakness
Be positive
turn a weakness into strength
For example
I am a bit of perfectionist
sometimes I work late
to make sure the job is done well
The fourth questions
what salary are you expecting
You¡¯d better not answer
this one directly
Leave this question to the interviewer
just as the girl does in the video
I¡¯ll leave it to you to decide
after you consider my abilities
While answering these questions
remember be honest and wise
Now
let¡¯s summarize what we have learned today
To make a good impression
we should get well prepared
and keep in mind what we should do
and what we shouldn¡¯t do
and then grasp skills
to answer job interview questions
Finally
I¡¯ll give you today¡¯s homework
The homework is to make up a dialogue
with your partner
Role play it
and then make it into a short video
with suitable background
