You will feel better at the interview if you show an understanding of the organization. Ask someone who already does it, to check it out with one of the advisers. Ask a member of family or a friend to act as the employer and to give you a practice interview. Be as realistic as possible, answer the questions seriously. Afterwards discuss how it went. Think about how the employer would prefer to see your look. Remember the majority of employers are over 30. It is not wise to rush out and buy new clothes that will be worn for the first time at the interview. Youll feel more at ease in a familiar dress. Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job. Arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of time. This will give you a chance to have a look around, read the notice board and get the feel of the place. Being late at interviews produces 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 breaths. Be ready to shake hands if the interviewer offers. Dont take a seat until asked. Then sit comfortably. Make eye contact when you are greeted and again if you shake hands, and during questioning. Eye contact is a form of non-verbal greeting. Remember the interviewers name and use it from time to time. Be ready for the question “Is there anything you want 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 in the employers estimation. Asking can show knowledge and avoid asking about holidays, pension(养老金) and so on. It looks as if you are even before you begin. You can check on these later, when the hoped-for job is offered. And if you fail, look up the interview as an experience in itself. Learn from it.We wish you good luck and good job hunting.66. To make a good impression on the interviewer, it is important for you_.
