IV. READING
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel
a little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not
really true. The more you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find
out as much as possible about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the products
that they produce and the services that they provide. It is also good to know who the customers are
and who the major competitors are. Practice makes perfect. It will also make you feel more confident
and relaxed. So, practice your answers to common questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too.
Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to show your
keenness, enthusiasm, and knowledge.
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for the
job. Your application or résumé has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to you to
show how your skills and experience match this position and this company. The employer will be
looking and listening to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different
qualities, in addition to the skills that you possess. To make the best impression, dress appropriately;
express your strengths; arrive early, by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be
an active listener; sit up straight and maintain eye contact; and ask questions.
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest
and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets there
before the hiring decision is made. You should also follow up with a phone call if you do not hear back
from the employer within the specified time.
1. The pronoun it refers to ________.
A. the job B. the interview C. the interviewer D. the preparation
2. What does the writer advise you to practice?
A. Asking and answering questions related to the job.
B. Making products that the company produces.
C. Providing services that the company serves.
