6. Прочитайте текст «At the interview»

Once the company has obtained the resumes and completed forms of the candidates, the next step is to compare them. This can be a lengthy process, trying to match the attributes of the applicants to the post. Some CVs  and forms will be discounted straight away because, for example:

• they are badly written, perhaps they have poor spelling and are untidy;
• the applicant’s qualifications may be inadequate for the post;
• the applicant may be too old or too young.

These applicants will be sent letters informing them that they were unsuccessful in their applications. Of the CVs and application forms remaining, a short list will be drawn up. This is a list of the applicants seen as best suited for the post. Letters will be sent to those listed, inviting them for interview on a certain date. At the same time the company will usually send for references.

The interview is the major way the companies access whether a candidate is suitable for a particular post. It allows the company to make a judgment on:

• the candidate’s personality (will he fit into the company and be able to mix with the other staff?)
• the ability of the candidate to communicate
• whether the information on the CV or application form is correct.

It also gives the candidate the chance to find out more about the company, such as the working conditions, hours or work, pay and training.

Here are a few Do’s and Don’ts for the interviewed:

1. Don’t be late for the interview.

2. Be neatly dressed.

3. Listen to the questions asked attentively.

4. Don’t be surprised by a few simple questions at the beginning such as, for example, how you travelled to the interview.

5. Answer all the questions to the point.

6. Don’t be too laconic in your answers.

7. Don’t be afraid of giving your own views and opinions.

8. Be calm and polite during the interview.

7. Советы для интервью

• don’t be late, come 5 minutes before the interview time;
• take several copies of your Cv, there may be two interviewers, they shouldn’t look over the shoulder of each other to see your resume;
• don’t put on bright bows or ties, the interviewer should remember what you have said, not your bow or tie;
• smile, be polite;
• be calm, keep an eye contact, it proves that you are sure and sincere (tell the truth);
• listen attentively, don’t be afraid to ask to repeat;
• avoid some details (it is not a confession), such as "I want to work here to get some experience, I am short of money”;
• avoid negative speeches about former employers; think over answers to such questions as why you are leaving your previous employer to avoid tricky questions;
• speak about your former duties and achievements, don’t mix these things;
• ask about your duties, career prospects, company plans;
• discuss your salary; the ability to bargain your salary shows your business abilities; show that you know what salary is paid by other companies; don’t be very emotional when you discuss salary, it gives a bad impression.
• pay attention to facilities (medical insurance, free food, free package tours, discounts on the company’s equipment, premiums) – the salary may be low, but facilities – in abundance.
• ask for 2-3 days to think over the final decision.
