Research has found most interviews are decided in the first two to three minutes. Make sure you practice your strong and professional handshake accompanied by a gracious smile and confident body language. But don’t let the confidence end there. From the moment you press the buzzer, you should come across as professional and dynamic. Making confident small talk with both the receptionist and the hiring managers will allow you to expose a little of your personality without the pressure of answering: “Where do you see yourself in five years?” Confidence (not arrogance) is important. Fight through the nerves and give your potential new employer a good impression of the real you. Essentially you have nothing to lose, so just go for it. Also, interviewers generally don’t want to catch candidates out – they want you to do well. Recruitment is a business challenge and employers go into interviews hoping, praying even, that the candidate is the solution. Self-analysis is another good area to add to your pile of research and something that candidates regularly forget. Look at the job specification and consider what the client might be looking for. Now think about your own achievements and all the challenges you have overcome. Finally, try and match the two together. Without self-reflection, you may forget key life experiences that you could have applied to those tricky competency questions. 46. What could be the best title for the passage? 46......... A. How can graduates make a good impression during an interview? B. The importance of confidence during an interview C. The rules of interviews – every interviewee needs to know D. Secrets of interviewers’ psychology during interviews 47. The word “dynamic” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to? 47......... A. aggressive B. energetic C. introverted D. influential 48. What does the word “they” in the second paragraph refer to? 48......... A. candidate B. recruitment C. interviewers D. confidence 49. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? 49......... A. The first moment can have a positive influence on an interview. B. Interviewers like to trick interviewees into making a mistake. C. Candidates ordinarily forget about self-analysis factor D. Confidence only is not enough for making good impression on the hiring managers 50. According to the passage, the benefit of self-analysis is ___________ 50......... A. You will understand tricky questions from interviewers B. You can apply life experience to answer tricky questions from interviewers C. You will know how to overcome challenges D. You will comprehensively understand about your manager THE END
