【题目】How to Shine at a Job Interview
The smart job seeker needs to get rid of several standard myths about interviewing before starting to look for a job. 【1】
Myth 1: The aim of an interview is to obtain the job offer.
Only half true. The only aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. 【2】 Unfit job seekers, however, become so used to meeting employers' expectation that they often easily accept jobs that they don't want. So before you work for an employer, be sure you want the job.
Myth 2: Try to control the interview.
Nobody “control” an interview - neither you or the interviewer - although one or both parties often try.

Myth 3: 【4】

And the way to make an effective impression is to feel free to be yourself, which frees your interviewers to be themselves.
Myth 4: Always be well groomed and dress yourself fashionably.
Only half true. 【5】 However, some interviewers might not appreciate the way you “decorate” yourself or, possibly, the positions you are applying for would require more reserved personalities, which, to some interviewers, can be revealed from your appearance. Therefore, the more cautious solution would be to keep to the happy medium - neither appear too “modern” nor too “conservative”.
A.Never interrupt the interviewer.
B.It is good to appear clear and neat or well-groomed when you go to an interview.
C.Thus, the job seeker finds an ideal job.
D.Never dominate the interview.
E.That often means rejecting the job offers you don't want.
F.You are expected to respect each other.
G.Here are some untruths and tips to help you do your best at your interview.
