So you have been called for an interview---well done?Your effort has been paid off? You will feeI better at the interview if you show an understanding of the nature of the organization．
Ask someone who already does it，or check it with one of the advisers．
Ask a member of your family or a friend to act as the employer and to give you an unreal interview．Be as realistic as possible，answer the questions seriously．Afterwards discuss how it went．Think about how the employer would prefer to see your look．Remember---the majority of employers are over 30.
It is not wise to rush out and buy new clothes.which will be worn for the first time at the interview．You’ll feel more at ease in a familiar dress．
Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job．Arrive at least 15 minutes before time，this will give you a chance to have a look around，read the notice board and get the feel of the place．Being late at the interview produces a bad impression．The first impression that the interviewer gets of you is formed as you walk through the door，so take a couple of deep breaths．
Be ready to shake hands if the interviewer offers．
Don’t take a seat until asked．Then sit comfortably．
Make eye contact  when you are greeted and again if you shake hands．And during questioning,eye contact is a form of non-verbal greeting．
Remember the interviewer’s name and use it from time to time．
Be ready for the question “Is there anything you want to ask?” Before the interview you should get ready for two or three such questions．Look on these not just as a chance to get information but as a means to give your employer a better impression．Asking can show knowledge but avoid asking about holidays，pensions(养老金)and so on．It looks as if you are tired even before you begin．You can check on these later，when the hope for job is offered．
And if you fail, look upon the interview as an experience in itself．Learn from it．We wish you good luck and good job hunting．

Dear Ariel,

I got a job offer from a high-tech company with a fairly satisfactory payment and benefits．Even the work environment is cool．But I heard that the job requires a lot of overtime and even weekends．I know it’s important for newcomers to get_their_feet _planted_firmly_on the_ground to reach their goals, but I’m scared of the idea of having nearly no free time．I still need to find a girlfriend and look after my parents．So, shall I accept the job or give it up for another one with much less pay and more freedom?

Amoretto

Dear Amoretto,

I have two things to say: First, you’re lucky to have such an excellent offer, especially at a time when so many talented people are struggling to find any work at all; and second, you can’t figure out your work-life balance until you’re actually working☆

Take the job．You’ll be learning, doing interesting things, working in a cool environment, and making money．If you’re given contract, make sure you understand the terms before you sign．Ask your boss how many hours a week you’re expected to work．If he tells you a number that’s much lower than what you find once you’re working, you’ll be in a better position to talk to him about it．

Give your work 100 percent．Work energetically and efficiently．If you’re devoted and focused, you might achieve more than your co-workers in less time．Showing yourself to be a productive and talented worker from the beginning will give you more bargaining power．Finally, remember that taking a job doesn’t have to be a life commitment．Try to give it at least a year（two is better）．If you’re really miserable after that time, look for another job that will give you more freedom．By then, you’ll have workplace experience, bosses and colleagues who can speak positively about your work and some savings as well．

Good luck!

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to "sell" yourself. 71 It should be simple,human,personal and brief without leaving out any necessary facts.
　　In writing a letter of application,keep in mind that the things a possible employer is most likely to want to know about are your qualifications(条件),your achievements and your aims. 72 If the first few sentences fail to win the reader's attention,the rest of the letter may not be read at all.Try to focus your opening remarks on the needs or interests of the employer not on your own need or desires.For example,instead of beginning with "I saw your advertisement in today's newspaper,"you might say " 73 "or "I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives use your product and why they like it."
　　 74 Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now aplying.College graduates looking for their first positions often ask "Which can I provide in a letter? Employers want experience - which,naturally,no beginner has." The answer is that everything you have ever done is experience.
　　It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.Make a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.At excellent idea is to enclose(内附)a stamped,self - addressed envelope with your letter. 75
