阅读模拟题（3）
The purpose of an interview is to find out if your goals and the goals of
an organization are compatible. Other goals of the interview are: to answer
questions successfully, obtain any additional information needed to make a
decision, accent your special strengths, establish a positive relationship, show
confidence, and to sell yourself. Based on these goals, place yourself in the
role of the interviewer and develop anticipated questions and answers to three
categories: company data, personal data, and specific job data. You also develop
questions which you will ask to determine how well your career goals match the
needs of the organization. These questions include both those you would ask
before a job offer and those you would ask after a job offer.
Prior to the interview, acquaint yourself with the laws pertaining to job
discrimination. This knowledge will enhance your chances of being considered on
an equal standing with other applicants.
To develop confidence, adequately prepare for the interview. Focus on how
you can best serve the organization to which you are applying. Then rehearse
until the rough edges are smoothed and you sound convincing to those with whom
you have practiced.
Since the interview will center on you, proper self-management process is
divided into four stages: the before stage, the greeting stage, the consultation
stage, and the departure stage. The before stage includes writing a confirmation
letter, concentrating on appearance and nonverbal communication, developing your
portfolio, anticipating questions with positive responses, and arriving early.
The greeting stage includes greeting everyone courteously, using waiting-room
smarts, using your time wisely, and applying proper protocol when meeting the
interviewer. The consultation stage includes responsiveness and enthusiasm,
knowing when to interject key points, showing sincerity, highlighting your
strengths, and listening intently. The departure stage includes leaving on a
positive note, expressing appreciation, expressing interest, leaving promptly,
and making notes immediately after departure.
To save time and money and offer convenience to prospective employees and
employers, video taping and satellite videophones may become a common method of
interviewing. Being at ease in front of a camera would be important for these
types of interviews.
Following the interview, write thank-you letters to each person who
interviewed you and to those who helped you get the interview. When invited for
a second interview, go prepared by using your notes and feedback from the
interview to zero in on what the company wants. If the company doesn‘t respond
in two weeks, call back or write a follow-up letter. You may get turned down. If
so, try to find out why as a means of self-improvement.
Following a job offer, take a few days to consider all elements and then
call or write a letter either accepting or declining the offer—whichever is
appropriate. If you accept and you are presently employed, write an effective
letter of resignation, departing on a positive note.
