　　[00:23.42]MINI-LECTURE 12

　　[00:25.56]In this section

　　[00:26.42]you will hear a mini-lecture.

　　[00:28.50]You will hear

　　[00:29.25]the mini-lecture ONCE ONLY.

　　[00:31.31]While listening to the mini-lecture,

　　[00:33.07]please complete the gap-filling task

　　[00:35.35]on ANSWER SHEET ONE and write

　　[00:37.63]NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS

　　[00:39.46]for each gap.

　　[00:41.47]Make sure the word(s) you fill in

　　[00:44.61]is (are) both grammatically

　　[00:46.82]and semantically acceptable.

　　[00:49.85]You may use the blank sheet

　　[00:51.37]for note-taking.

　　[00:52.49]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[00:54.01]to preview the gap-filling task.

　　[01:26.47]Now listen to the mini-lecture.

　　[01:28.14]When it is over,

　　[01:29.52]you will be given THREE minutes

　　[01:31.21]to check your work.

　　[01:33.07]How to Do Well on

　　[01:34.21]a Job Interview

　　[01:36.00]Good morning.

　　[01:36.65]Today I'd like to share my views

　　[01:39.54]on how to do well

　　[01:40.82]on a job interview.

　　[01:41.89]To many people,

　　[01:43.89]the job interview is a confusing,

　　[01:46.13]humiliating,

　　[01:46.88]and nerve-racking experience.

　　[01:49.67]First of all, you have to wait

　　[01:51.74]for your appointment

　　[01:53.07]in an outer room,

　　[01:54.36]often trapped there

　　[01:55.42]with other people

　　[01:56.39]applying for the same job.

　　[01:58.62]Then you are called

　　[02:00.10]into the interviewer's office.

　　[02:01.72]Faced with a complete stranger,

　　[02:03.84]you have to try to act both cool

　　[02:06.46]and friendly as you are asked

　　[02:08.85]all sorts of questions.

　　[02:10.30]Finally, you go home

　　[02:11.80]and wait for days

　　[02:13.38]and even weeks.

　　[02:14.94]If you get the job, great.

　　[02:16.52]But if you don't,

　　[02:17.99]you're rarely given

　　[02:19.31]any reason why.

　　[02:20.49]The job-interview "game"

　　[02:22.37]may not be much fun,

　　[02:24.10]but it is a game you can win

　　[02:26.16]if you play it right.

　　[02:27.36]The name of the game

　　[02:29.35]is standing out from the crowd—

　　[02:31.20]in a positive way.

　　[02:32.68]Here are guidelines

　　[02:34.48]to help you play

　　[02:35.62]the interview game

　　[02:36.54]to win.

　　[02:37.32]Firstly, present yourself as a winner.

　　[02:40.90]For example,

　　[02:41.97]the way you dress, speak,

　　[02:43.53]and move gives the interviewer

　　[02:45.07]more information about you

　　[02:47.05]than you would think possible.

　　[02:49.45]You doubt that this is true.

　　[02:51.25]Consider this:

　　[02:52.82]a professional job recruiter,

　　[02:54.78]meeting a series of job applicants,

　　[02:57.06]was asked to signal the moment

　　[02:59.28]he decided not to hire

　　[03:01.07]each applicant.

　　[03:02.10]The thumbs-down decision was

　　[03:04.02]often made in less than

　　[03:05.90]45 seconds—

　　[03:06.96]even before the applicant

　　[03:08.84]thought the interview had begun.

　　[03:10.93]How can you keep from

　　[03:12.43]being a victim

　　[03:13.22]of an instant "no"decision?

　　[03:15.53]To begin with, dress appropriately.

　　[03:18.39]This means business clothing:

　　[03:21.12]usually a suit and tie

　　[03:23.33]or a conservative dress or skirt suit.

　　[03:26.01]Don't wear casual student clothing.

　　[03:28.57]On the other hand,

　　[03:29.74]don't overdress:

　　[03:31.22]you're going to a job interview,

　　[03:33.49]not a party.

　　[03:34.33]Furthermore, pay attention

　　[03:36.39]to your grooming.

　　[03:37.95]Untidy hair, body odor,

　　[03:40.08]unshined shoes, a hanging hem,

　　[03:42.64]stains on your tie,

　　[03:44.24]excessive makeup or cologne,

　　[03:46.42]a sloppy job of shaving—

　　[03:48.40]if the interviewer notices

　　[03:50.59]any of these,

　　[03:51.64]your prospect of being hired

　　[03:53.85]takes a probably fatal hit.

　　[03:56.61]Moreover, look alert, poised,

　　[03:59.56]and friendly.

　　[04:00.31]When that interviewer looks into

　　[04:02.49]the waiting room

　　[04:03.44]and calls your name,

　　[04:04.72]he or she is getting a first impression

　　[04:07.29]of your behavior.

　　[04:08.48]If you're slouched in your chair,

　　[04:10.53]dozing or lost in the pages

　　[04:12.75]of a magazine,

　　[04:13.42]if you look up with

　　[04:14.87]an annoyed "Huh?",

　　[04:16.42]he or she will not be favorably

　　[04:18.64]impressed.

　　[04:19.47]What will earn you points

　　[04:21.95]is rising promptly

　　[04:23.12]and walking briskly

　　[04:24.32]toward the interviewer.

　　[04:25.80]Smiling and looking

　　[04:27.36]directly at that person,

　　[04:29.16]extend your hand

　　[04:30.57]to shake his or hers,

　　[04:32.22]saying, "I'm Lesley Brown.

　　[04:34.30]Thank you for seeing me today."

　　[04:35.81]Finally,

　　[04:37.10]expect to make a little small talk.

　　[04:39.68]This is not a waste of time;

　　[04:42.25]it is the interviewer's way

　　[04:43.87]of checking your ability

　　[04:45.71]to be politely sociable,

　　[04:47.52]and it is your opportunity

　　[04:49.39]to cement the good impression

　　[04:51.64]you've already made.

　　[04:53.17]The key is to follow

　　[04:55.05]the interviewer's lead.

　　[04:56.43]If he or she wants to chat

　　[04:58.76]about the weather

　　[04:59.64]for a few minutes, do so.

　　[05:01.33]But don't drag it out;

　　[05:03.10]as soon as you get a signal

　　[05:05.04]that it's time to talk about the job,

　　[05:06.82]be ready to get down to business.

　　[05:09.74]After you settle down in the room

　　[05:12.22]for your interview,

　　[05:13.35]next, get ready

　　[05:14.60]for the interviewer's questions.

　　[05:16.92]The same questions come up

　　[05:18.83]again and again

　　[05:19.85]in many job interviews.

　　[05:21.62]You should plan ahead

　　[05:23.12]for all these questions!

　　[05:24.60]Then practice

　　[05:26.21]reciting the answers

　　[05:27.16]to yourself.

　　[05:29.03]Only in this way

　　[05:30.26]are you going to be prepared.

　　[05:31.95]Here are common questions,

　　[05:33.97]what they really mean,

　　[05:36.14]and how to answer them.

　　[05:37.63]The first common question is

　　[05:39.94]"Tell me about yourself."

　　[05:41.62]This question is raised to see

　　[05:43.81]how organized you are.

　　[05:45.15]The wrong way to answer

　　[05:47.31]it is to launch into a wandering,

　　[05:49.82]disjointed response or—

　　[05:51.92]worse yet—

　　[05:52.88]to demand defensively,

　　[05:54.93]"What do you want to know?"

　　[05:56.32]or "What do you mean?"

　　[05:57.44]When this question comes up,

　　[05:59.72]you should be prepared

　　[06:00.83]to give a brief summary

　　[06:02.41]of your life

　　[06:02.96]and work experience—

　　[06:04.90]where you grew up,

　　[06:05.89]where your family lives now,

　　[06:08.00]where you went to school,

　　[06:09.60]what jobs you've had,

　　[06:10.87]and how you happen

　　[06:12.46]to be here now

　　[06:13.63]looking for the challenge

　　[06:14.65]of a new job.

　　[06:16.06]The second question may be

　　[06:18.45]"What are your strengths

　　[06:19.47]and weaknesses?"

　　[06:20.56]In talking about

　　[06:21.88]your strong points,

　　[06:23.51]mention traits

　　[06:24.71]that will serve you well

　　[06:26.21]in this particular job.

　　[06:27.45]If you are well organized,

　　[06:29.45]a creative problem-solver,

　　[06:30.99]a good team member,

　　[06:32.55]or a quick learner,

　　[06:33.85]be ready to describe specific ways

　　[06:36.34]those strengths have served you

　　[06:38.49]in the past.

　　[06:39.46]Don't make the mistake of saying,

　　[06:41.57]"I don't have any real weaknesses."

　　[06:44.01]You'll come across

　　[06:44.93]as more believable

　　[06:46.50]if you admit a flaw—

　　[06:48.03]but make it one

　　[06:49.35]that an employer

　　[06:50.09]might actually like.

　　[06:51.90]For instance,

　　[06:52.99]admit that you are a workaholic

　　[06:55.10]or a perfectionist.

　　[06:56.73]The third question

　　[06:58.30]may go like this:

　　[06:59.50]"Why should we hire you?"

　　[07:01.57]Remember that it is up to you

　　[07:03.51]to convince the interviewer

　　[07:05.35]that you're the man

　　[07:06.54]or woman for this job.

　　[07:08.28]If you just sit there

　　[07:10.32]and hope that the interviewer

　　[07:11.41]will magically discern

　　[07:13.00]your good qualities,

　　[07:14.36]you are likely to be disappointed.

　　[07:17.12]Don't be afraid to sell yourself.

　　[07:19.68]Tell the recruiter

　　[07:20.84]that from your research

　　[07:22.03]you have learned

　　[07:22.88]that the interviewer's company is

　　[07:24.66]one you would like to work for,

　　[07:26.67]and that you believe

　　[07:28.29]the company's needs

　　[07:29.21]and your skills are a great match.

　　[07:32.20]The final question may be

　　[07:33.89]"Do you have any questions?"

　　[07:35.57]This is the time

　　[07:37.17]to stress one last time

　　[07:38.78]how interested you are

　　[07:39.81]in this particular job.

　　[07:42.23]Ask a question or two

　　[07:43.45]about specific aspects of the job,

　　[07:45.88]pointing out again

　　[07:47.45]how well your talents

　　[07:49.17]and the company's needs

　　[07:50.10]are matched.

　　[07:51.09]Even if you're dying

　　[07:52.41]to know how much the job pays

　　[07:54.53]and how much vacation you get,

　　[07:56.24]don't ask.

　　[07:57.87]There will be time enough

　　[07:59.43]to cover those questions

　　[08:00.73]after you've been offered the job.

　　[08:02.88]Today, your task is to demonstrate

　　[08:05.71]what a good employee

　　[08:07.07]you would be.

　　[08:07.67]After the interview,

　　[08:09.62]it is necessary for you

　　[08:11.32]to send a thank-you note.

　　[08:12.81]Once you've gotten past

　　[08:14.80]the interview,

　　[08:15.43]there is one more chance for you

　　[08:17.32]to make a fine impression.

　　[08:19.15]As soon as you can—

　　[08:20.87]certainly no more than one

　　[08:22.23]or two days

　　[08:23.30]after the interview—

　　[08:24.91]write a note of thanks

　　[08:26.23]to your interviewer.

　　[08:27.46]In it, briefly remind him or her

　　[08:30.25]of when you came in

　　[08:31.44]and what job you applied for.

　　[08:34.04]As well as thanking

　　[08:35.74]the interviewer

　　[08:36.19]for seeing you,

　　[08:37.33]reaffirm your interest in the job

　　[08:39.68]and mention again

　　[08:41.36]why you think you are

　　[08:42.54]the best candidate for it.

　　[08:44.69]Make the note courteous,

　　[08:46.88]businesslike, and brief—

　　[08:47.98]just a paragraph or two.

　　[08:49.85]If the interviewer is wavering

　　[08:52.63]between several equally

　　[08:54.17]qualified candidates,

　　[08:55.29]such a note could tip the scales

　　[08:57.68]in your favor.

　　[08:58.57]To conclude,

　　[09:00.25]no amount of preparation

　　[09:02.02]is going to make interviewing

　　[09:04.01]for a job your favorite activity.

　　[09:06.64]But if you go in well-prepared

　　[09:09.36]as suggested-adjusting yourself

　　[09:11.44]both outside and inside—

　　[09:13.61]your potential employer

　　[09:14.87]can't help thinking highly of you.

　　[09:17.72]And the day will come

　　[09:19.45]when you are the one

　　[09:20.80]who wins the job.

　　[09:22.72]Now, you have THREE minutes

　　[09:24.44]to check your work.
