Research the company Do your homework so you don't give the impression you're looking for any old job. Search the internet and read not only the company's website, but also any news stories that come up. Make a list of points you could discuss at the interview and questions you could ask. You want your potential future employer to believe that you have a genuine interest in working for the organization. Look the part The company's dress code should give you an idea ofwhat to wear at the interview, but in most cases, you will be expected to look smart. However, it is not only your clothes you must watch. Think about your body language: do you usually slouch or sit up straight in a chair, or do you sometimes fiddle with a pen? Practise before the day so that you have time to replace any bad habits with positive body language. Mind your manners When you get to the interview venue, make sure you greet everyone you meet, including the people in the lift. Offer the interviewer a warm greeting and say ‘please’ and ‘thank you' when appropriate. Not only do youwant to show that you would be an invaluable team member, but you also want the interviewer to choose you over another candidate who may be equally qualified for the job. Give real examples You won't be the first candidate the interviewer has met, so you need to stand out from the competition. When you are asked about your abilities and experience, steer clear of typical'answers such as ‘I have great communication skills” or ‘I°ma people person’. Instead give real examples of situations where you have demonstrated these qualities and brought about a positive result. Ask the right questions Towards the end ofthe interview, you will be invited to ask your own questions about the job. You'll have that list you made beforehand, but the points on it may already have been covered. Even ifthe interviewer has been very thorough, you must ask a few questions. This is where your initial research about the company will come in handy. : G auxiliary verbs, the..., the... -— 9 rs + comparatives GRAMMAR auxiliary verbs Cross-out the unnecessary words.
