Hunting for a job is a painful experience, which nearly everyone must endure at least once in a lifetime. Books are published and magazine articles are written on the subject, all trying to tell job seekers what they should do or avoid doing in order to win the game. They can’t calm the nervous applicant but they do offer some advice.

To begin with, it is not a good idea to be late. Job interviewers don’t think very highly of the candidate (应聘者) who arrives twenty minutes after the appointed time. The wise job seeker explores the place the day before. Next day he arrives early for the appointment.

What makes a good impression? Being on time does, then, appearance. It is essential for the candidate to be dressed properly and to look alive. It is also very important to look the interviewer in the eye because this “eye contact ” gives a strong impression of sincerity and openness.

Many candidates waste a good part of the interview explaining why they want the job; the man or woman on the other side of the desk is waiting to hear why the would – be employee would be good for the position and for the company.

It is very difficult task to display oneself to a possible employer: one must not be too humble since it is essential to show one’s good points and experiences. However, bragging (说大话) doesn’t make a very good impression. One thing is certain: interview time is a time for honesty. The interviewer is trying to discover not only the professional worth but also the character of the man or the woman he is meeting. Therefore, he must rely on his observation of the applicant, her manners, what she says and how she says it.

While this examination is going on the job seeker should remember that she too has a right to be curious. It is recommended that the applicant ask some serious questions about the job, the company, and its future. If the questions are intelligent, they will impress the interviewer favourably.
