How to succeed in a Job Interview?
Nowadays, in an ever tighter job market, great importance has been attached to an interview by both the employer and the applicant.The interview, so to speak, has become indispensable for getting a satisfactory job.On the one hand, the interviewer can take advantage of the occasion to learn about the candidates, such as their work experiences, education and their personalities, so as to pick out the right person for the company.On the other hand, the interviewee can make use of the opportunity to get to know the job he is going to take up, the salary, the working conditions and many other things about the job he is interested in.Therefore, the job interview is very important to a job-hunter.But how can one succeed in it? Firstly of all, the interviewee must pay attention to his or her appearance.The first impression is always where we start.Get dressed properly and neatly.Secondly, good manners are equally important.Don’t be too proud, and neither too timid.Just be courteous.Thirdly, the interviewee must demonstrate his aptitude and skills for the job and his knowledge about the job-related areas.Be confident.Last but not the least, the interviewee ought to be honest about his or her personal as well as academic background, for honesty is the best policy.To sum up, the job interview is indeed important, but there is no need to be nervous.As long as the interviewee has the ability for the job, with careful preparation and a fairly confident and honest performance, his or her success can be ensured.2
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Advantages of a Job Interview.You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:
1.现在找工作一般都要进行面试,通过面试,面试者(interviewer)和应试者(interviewee),可以相互了解情况;

3.应试者也有机会给对方留下一个好的印象,如,可以表现出自信心,可以介绍教育背景、工作能力等。
Advantages of a Job Interview
Nowadays, when a person is hunting for a job, there are almost always job interviews.I think a job interview is beneficial to both the interviewer and the interviewee.On the one hand, through the interview, the interviewer can see the interviewee in person.He can tell the interviewee something about the job.These may include such things as the wage, the working conditions and other things which are relevant to the job so that the interviewee can decide whether the job is really suitable for him.On the other hand, through the interview, the interviewee can know something about the employer and the company he is going to work.Most
important of all, a job interview is a good chance for the interviewee, because, he can impress the interviewer by good behavior.He can show his educational background, his ability and his confidence.Then the interviewer can figure out whether he is the right person for the job.In a word, I think the interview will do good to both the interviewer and the interviewee.By the interview, the interviewee can find a suitable job and the interviewer can find a suitable person if both of them make the best of the job interview.Directions:For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter.Suppose you will graduate from university in this coming July, and you want to get some experience in a company.Please write an internship cover letter to this company and apply for a position.You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestions given bellow in Chinese.1.说明你应聘的实习职位

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Ideal Job.You should write no less than 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:
1.人们对职业各有不同的理想;
2.我理想的职业是什么;
3.我怎样为我理想的职业做准备。
My Ideal Job
There are various kinds of jobs in the world, such as writing, nursing, teaching and engineering.But different people choose different jobs as their ideal careers.This is because everyone has his own interest.As for me, I have made up my mind to be a teacher.I choose to do so mainly for three
reasons.First, I want to teach because I like the pace of academic calendar.Two long vacations offer me an opportunity for reflection, research and writing.Secondly, I want to teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lesson, to stimulate myself and my students.And I can have the opportunity to keep on learning.Finally, I want to teach because, being around the students who are beginning to grow and change in front of me, I will grow and change with them too.But teaching is no easy job at all.I must study cleverly to obtain more knowledge.And, at the same time, I will make every effort to purify my soul so that I can become an architect of man's soul.My Ideal Job/ Career
As they differ in their interests, abilities and objectives in life, different people pursue different careers.Some love to be doctors, while others prefer to be scientists.Some like to be workers, whereas others choose to be technicians.My ideal career, however, is teaching.The reasons are as follows.First, I can enjoy much freedom in my work.I will not frequently be told what to do and how to do it.The content of my lessons and the way I give them are largely determined by myself, which will leave more room for my imagination and creativity.In addition, I can always stay young mentally.Being with the young people most of the time, I will be influenced by their idea and lifestyle.I will then, feel that I am always in fashion.Furthermore, I will have two long vacations and much flexible time in which I can enjoy doing what I like to do.But teaching is also a demanding career, especially in a society as ours in which new things and knowledge come in multitude.Therefore, I have to read as much as possible to acquire the knowledge needed for my work.视野拓展
Job Interview
In order to make a good impression during a job interview, you need to prepare yourself for the interview.You must arrive in plenty of time for the interview, so that you give yourself a little time to relax before the interview begins.The impression you make as you walk into the room is very important.Try to find out if the company or organization has rules about dress.Then try to dress according to their regulations.You also need to plan what you are going to say.In some interviews you will have to do a lot of talking, and in others you will only have to answer a few questions about your education and experience.You need to have answers ready about yourself, your schoolwork, your strong points, your reasons for applying for the job, and the salary you expect.You will also be allowed to ask some questions of your own.The questions you ask will show the interviewer that you have given careful thought to the position.You can ask questions like these.What duties will I have to do in the job? Will I be allowed to join a health insurance program? Does the company provide opportunities for further education?
Application Letter
May 22nd
Dear Mr.Cavendish,I saw your advertisement in the local paper this evening, and I wonder if you would consider me for a job as a waiter this summer.I am seventeen years old and at present studying English and economics.When I leave school, I hope to take a course in hotel management.During the school holidays last summer, I worked as a waiter at the Central Hotel.The headwaiter there, Mr.Macintosh, will be pleased to send you a recommendation for me.I would prefer to work in your hotel in Filey because it is near my home.However, if there isn't any job there for me, perhaps you could consider me for the Scarborough Hotel.I would be pleased if you will send me information about the pay and conditions of the job to be offered.I will be free to begin work in the fourth week of July when the school holidays start.Yours sincerely,Peter Tuck
Summer Job
The summer job is a tradition among students of American universities.Long before the end of the school year, students begin their search for jobs during vacation(June, July, and August).Students send letters to businesses, talk to employers about job opportunities during the summer, and ask friends and relatives to be on the lookout for jobs for them.By June the students have usually solved the problem and begin to make preparations for leaving their books to enter the business world.Reasons for wanting a summer job are different from student to student.Some work to help pay their school expenses;others work to gain experience in their chosen professions;still others work just for the fun of it.Typist, construction worker, salesman, lifeguard, and waiter are some of the more common jobs that students try to find during the summer months.But many young people find work that is a little more unusual.Work for College Education
Students all over the world have to work for their education.A college education in the United States is expensive.The costs are so high that most families begin to save for their children's education when their children are babies.Even so, many young people cannot afford to pay the expenses of fulltime college work.They do not have enough money to pay for school costs.Tuition for attending the university, books for classes, and living expenses are high.There are other expenses such as chemistry and biology laboratory fees and special student activity fees for such things as parking permits and football tickets.The cost of college education increases every year.However, classrooms are still crowded with students.Some American students have scholarships or other support, but many do not.Students from other countries have money problems to overcome, too.Because students in
most international programs need to have a sponsor(a person, organization, or local government that pays for them), they work hard to earn scholarships or special loans.International students understand the value of going to school in another country.They also know that it is difficult.Yet just as Americans choose to attend American universities in spite of the difficulty, it is usually possible for students from abroad to work on university campuses to pay for some of the cost of their education.Some people believe that students value their education more if they work for it.Self-employment
One of the advantages of being self-employed is that the profit the business makes belongs to the owner.If the self-employed person succeeds in business, he has the chance to earn a great deal of money.The profit earned is the reward for the owner's effort, ability and creativity.Thus, a second advantage is that a person's intelligence and abilities have a direct effect on the earnings.A third advantage of being self-employed is that a person can control his working hours.While not all self-employed people are completely free, most of them have more control over this area than the salaried people.However, being self-employed is not without problems.First, being one's own boss places the responsibility directly on that individual's shoulders.Everyone has some weaknesses in some things.These weaknesses will affect how successful a self-employed person is.Second, though the self-employed can earn considerable profits with a successful business, losses can force them out of business and sometimes, place them in debt.A third disadvantage concerns income security.Self-employed people have no guaranteed wage.Their earnings can vary greatly, depending on business conditions.Salaried people, however, can generally count on continued earnings.In addition, salaried people often enjoy fringe benefits that mean greater peace of mind.One of these benefits may be insurance paid for by the employer that continues the employee's salary in the event of sickness or accident while many self-employed people do not have such protection.6

Choosing an Occupation
One of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do.There are some people, of course, who from the time they are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an
occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do.You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision.At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to give you detailed information about job qualifications.And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.7

College Students’ Job Hunting
In recent years, college students find it increasingly difficult to get a job.It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play.Then what underlies the strange phenomenon?
There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high.All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others.Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider not “good” enough.Another reason is that there is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs.So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.Solution to the problem requires efforts on both the society and the students.The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains.They should be down-to–earth in building up their career.Furthermore, they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent.
