新标准大学英语综合教程4 Unit 1Active reading (1)Looking for a job after university? First, get off the sofaBackground informationAbout the passage: This is an article by an Education Correspondent, Alexandra Blair, published in September 2008 in The Times, a long-established British quality newspaper. In Europe generally, and inBritain in particular, for a number of years there has been a rising number of students who go to universityand therefore more new graduates seeking employment. However, for many graduates finding a job became harder in 2008–2009 because the economic downturn –then a recession – meant that many employers werereducing their workforce. After their final exams, some students rested in the summer before looking for jobsand then they found that it was difficult to find employment in their field or at the level they wanted. Thearticle addresses the problems of such new graduates who might be stuck at home and advises their parentsto be there for their children (ie to be available if their children want to talk about the problem or if theyneed help). The article recommends finding work in a bar or supermarket rather than sitting unemployed at home since this is more likely to lead to better employment later. The style is partly of a report, but alsoof a humorous comment for light entertainment (seen in the jokey language and problem-solving advice toparents).Why finding a job in 2008 is so difficult for university graduates?Universities in Europe, particularly in Britain, have expanded greatly in the last fifteen years (over 45% ofyoung adults now go on to higher education), so there are more graduates looking for jobs. This competitivesituation became a lot worse in 2008 onwards with the credit crunch and economic depression, which meantthat there were fewer jobs available and a rise in unemployment. Thus new graduates have to be active to seek a job, they need to fill in many application forms and try to get job interviews: they won’t findemployment by lying on the sofa at home.Culture pointshonours degree: Traditionally, in the British university system, BA and BSc honours degrees are awardedin different categories: a first class degree (written using Roman numbers as I), a second (divided into twosubcategories, written as IIii and IIii, which are called “a two one” and “a two two”), a third(written III) anda pass degree. Most people get a second. There are also ordinary degrees with more general courses of studywithout these categories.Generation Y and Grunt: The main idea here is that there is a succession of different generations orcohorts of adults who come into the workforce in North America which are given different informal namesto characterize them. First, “Baby boomers” were born in the great increase (the boom) of birt hs after WorldWar II (1946–1960), followed by “Generation X” people (born 1960–1980) who were said to bring newattitudes of being independent, informal, entrepreneurial, and expected to get skills and have a career beforethem. “GenerationY” or the “Millenial Generation” (born 1980s and 1990s and becoming adult in the newmillenium) are now making up an increasing percentage of the workforce; they are said to be spoilt by dotingparents, to have structured lives, to be used to teamwork and diverse people in a multicultural society. Inthe passage, this generation is now becoming (morphing into) Generation Grunt, which is an ironic namereferring to repetitive, low status, routine or mindless work –this may be the only work available to somegraduates, who may have to take very ordinary jobs to get experience before they find something more suitable. “Grunt” also refers to coarse behaviour or bad manners and to the deep sound that is made by a pig;when people “grunt” they express disgust but do not communi cate with words – this may be how the parentsof new graduates think their children communicate with them!A comprehensive refers to a British type of secondary school which became popular in the1960s. Before thatthere were academic “grammar schools” and more general “secondary modern” schools for those who didnot pass the grammar school entrance tests, but the comprehensive schools were designed for all students ina social philosophy of bringing diverse students together whether they were academic or not. Those studentswho went to a comprehensive school probably felt that had to study particularly hard (I worked my backsideoff) to get to university, compared to those who went to grammar schools where all students were academic –comprehensive students felt they had to struggle to get to university.Chicken suit This refers to a large yellow costume that someone wears which makes the person look like agiant chicken. Before he became a famous actor, Brad Pitt once dressed in such a costume when he had a jobadvertising for a restaurant called El Pollo Loco (The Crazy Chicken’ in Spanish) – the job meant that he hadto walk around the streets like a chicken to attract customers to come to the restaurant.Language points1 Those memories of forking out thousands of pounds a year so that he could eat well and go to the odd party, began to fade. Until now. (Para 1)The parents paid a lot of money for their son’s university fees and living expenses (so that he could eatwell) and for occasional social events –at graduation these memories of money were mostly forgotten because the parents were proud. But now the parents are thinking of money again because the son doesn’t have a job and doesn’t seem to be actively seeking one.2 This former scion of Generation Y has morphed overnight into a member of Generation Grunt. (Para 2)The distinguished son of Generation X (of the parents’ generation who worked hard, got jobs, and hadgood careers and expected their son to do the same) has changed into a member of Generation Grunt – hedoesn’t seem to communicate much, lies around and doesn’t get a job (or can only do a low status routingjob).3 I passed the exams, but at the interviews they accused me of being ‘too detached’ and talking inlanguage that was ‘too technocratic’, which I didn’t think possible, but obviously it is. (Para 5)He passed the entrance exams for a government post, but he was criticized in the selection interviews: They said he was detached (not personally involved) and too technocratic (he used the language of atechnical expert or high authority). As a new graduate he probably wanted to show his expertise in hislanguage so he can’t understand this criticism.4 For the rest it is 9-to-5 “chilling” before heading to the pub. (Para 6)The others who do not have a routine low status job (like stacking goods on a supermarket shelf) chill outall day (they spend their time casually relaxing –they don’t look for work) and go to pub for a drink in theevening.5 I went to a comprehensive and I worked my bac kside off to go to a good university …(Para 6) He went to a school for students of all abilities (not to a special school for academic students) and so hehad to work very hard to enter a good university: Your backside means your bottom –the part of your body that you sit on –to work your backside off is informal and it means you work very hard indeed.6 … but having worked full-time since leaving school herself, she and her husband find it tricky toadvise him on how to proceed. (Para 7)The mother has always had a full-time job (presumably the father is also working full-time), so she doesnot have relevant personal experience. For her, it is tricky to give advice (difficult to do).7 Carry on life as normal and don’t allow them to abuse your bank accoun t or sap your reserve of emotional energy. (Para 11)The advice from Gael Lindenfield here is that parents should live as usual. They should neither let theirchildren spend the parents’ money unnecessarily, nor let the problem take away all their energy andemotions. Sap their reserve means use up their store of emotional energy.8 After that the son or daughter needs to be nudged firmly back into the saddle. (Para 12) Then the parents should gently push their children firmly so that they get back into control of their lives.Reading and understanding2 Choose the best answer to the questions.Teaching tipsGo over the correct answers with Ss and ask them to explain why the other answers are wrong (See below).1 Why hasn’t Jack Goodwin got a job yet?(a) He doesn’t have a very good degree.(No, he has a 2:1 which is considered a good degree. )(b) He refuses to apply for jobs with low salaries.(He feels he should get a better job after studying at university.)(c) It isn’t easy to get a job in the current fi nancial climate.(This may be true but the passage does not mention this.)(d) He prefers to stay at home and help his family.(No, he doesn’t seem to be helping his family: he watches TV and talks to friends.)2 How does he spend a typical day?(a) Doing a temporary job.(No, some of his friends are working in temporary jobs but he doesn’t want to do this.)(b) Watching television.(He watches TV a lot.)(c) Queuing up in the university careers service.(No, he went there once but he didn’t want to queue s o he walked away.)(d) Preparing for the next job interview.(No, he doesn’t seem to be preparing for interviews.)3 How do most of his friends spend the day?(a) They do nothing all day and go to the pub in the evening.(All except one of them do nothing except chill, then they go to the pub.)(b) They do outdoor activities such as sailing.(No, none of them seem to do outdoor activities; there is no mention of sailing.)(c) They are forced to work by their parents.(No, only one of them has been forced out to stack shelves by his parents; the others seem to be like Jack.)(d) They do part-time jobs such as working in a bar.(No, the text mentions bar work but none of Jack’s friends seem to do this work.)4 How are Jack’s parents helping him?(a) By looking for jobs for him.(No, Jack has tried to get a job himself; there’s nothing here about his parents helping him look for ajob.)(b) By paying for a trip to South America.(No, although he is going on a three-week trip to South America, the passage does not say that Jack’s parents have paid for this.)(c) By gradually making him more financially aware.(The passage does not say so explicitly, but this is the implication about the cut-off point after thetrip when he may be expected to pay rent and contribute to the household bills.)(d) By threatening to throw him out of the house.(No, they haven’t threatened to do this, but they definitely want him to work after he gets back fromhis trip.)5 What does Gael Lindenfield say about Jack’s parents?(a) They ha ve not really understood Jack’s problems.(No, she doesn’t say this; she says they must balance being positive with not making life too comfortable. This doesn’t mean they haven’t understood Jack’s problems.)(b) They have made life too comfortable for Jack.(No, she says they must balance comfort with being positive. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they have already made life too comfortable for Jack.)(c) The approach they have chosen is the right one.(She says they have struck exactly the right note.)(d) They need help from a psychologist.(No, she doesn’t say this.)6 What do Whoopi Goldberg, Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt have in common?(a) They all did bar work before going to university.(No, we don’t know from the passage if any of them did this.)(b) They took part in protests against nuclear power plants.(No, we don’t know is any of them did this)(c) They learnt to act by dressing up as giant chickens.(No, only Brad Pitt did this.)(d) They all did temporary jobs at one stage in their lives.(This is right, although they all had completely different temporary jobs.)Dealing with unfamiliar words3 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 to make progress by moving to the next stage in a series of actions or events (proceed)2 the process of changing from one situation, form or state to another (transition)3 not feeling involved with someone or something in a close or emotional way (detached)4 referring to something which will happen soon (upcoming)5 to be sitting still in a position that is not upright (slump)6 to return to a previous state or way of behaving (revert)7 to say what happened (recount)4 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 3.It isn’t easy to make the (1) transition from a busy university student to an unemployed young adult (2) slumped on a bar stool or half watching a mindless television show, wondering if and how their careeris going to (3) proceed. Many people who have experienced a long period of inactivity like this, when (4) recounting how they felt at the time, refer to the same strange psychological effect. As the days pass,they begin to feel (5) detached from any sense of pressure to go and look for a job, and tend to regard (6) upcoming interviews as if they were not very important. Typically, back at home after three or fouryears away, they (7) revert to old habits, start seeing old friends, and, in many cases, become dependentagain on their parents.5 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box. You may need to make other changes.1 I went to a mixed-ability secondary school just outside London. (comprehensive)2 I got stopped by a policeman who asked to see my driving licence. (cop)3 Have you seen this beautiful from the air view of Oxford? (aerial)4 Isabel tightly her bag as she walked down the corridor towards the office. (clutched)5 You should speak to Toby; he’s an supporter of flexible working hours. (advocate)6 I hurt my leg badly a couple of months ago, and it still hasn’t got be tter completely. (healed) 6 Answer the questions about the words.1 Is a dead-end job one with (a) exciting prospects, or (b) no future?2 Is a tricky problem (a) difficult, or (b) easy to solve?3 If an activity saps all your energy, do you feel (a) tired, or (b) more active than usual?4 Does a pushy person try to (a) persuade you to do something you don’t want to, or (b) help you bylistening to what you have to say?5 If you feel apathy, do you want to (a) change the world, or (b) stay at home and do nothing?7 Answer the questions about the phrases.1 Is fork out (a) a formal, or (b) an informal way of saying to pay for something?2 If you are in the same boat as another person, are you (a) making the same journey together, or(b) inthe same difficult or unpleasant situation?3 If you feel you have come full circle, do you (a) feel you are back where you started, or (b) feela senseof satisfaction because you have completed something?4 If someone takes a soft line, do they deal with a person (a) in a kind and sympathetic way, or (b) in alazy way without making a decision?5 If you strike the right note about something, are you expressing yourself (a) well, or (b) badly?6 If you do something by all means, do you (a) try your best to do it, or (b) not care about it?7 If you nudge someone back into the saddle, are you encouraging them to (a) take responsibility again, or(b) take it easy?8 If you talk through a problem with someone, do you (a) examine it carefully and sensitively, or(b) referto it quickly and then change the subject?Reading and interpreting8 Answer the questions.1 “Will he ever get a job?” Who is asking this question? What mood does it express?The parents are asking this because the paragraph is addressed to parents (earlier it sa ys “your graduateson”). The mood seems to express patience or resignation because the word “ever” suggests that gettinga job will take a long time.2 Who describes Generation Y as “rebels without a cause”? Is it a fair description?This is the writer’s d escription to indicate that this generation is rebelling against parents or society,but they have nothing particular to rebel against. This doesn’t seem very fair because the students aretrying to find work –it is just that they don’t like their parents nagging them. So they are a bit rebelliousagainst their parents, but no more than that.3 Jack “walked into the university careers service and straight back out again”. What does this suggestabout Jack’s character?It suggests that Jack is not very determined. As soon as he saw the queue he left without waiting andwithout trying to ask about jobs or careers.4 Jack spent the summer “hiding”. Hiding from what? Why are quotation marks used?Probably this means he was hiding from the world of work, staying at home and not looking for a job. The quotation marks tell us that he wasn’t literally hiding, he just spent a lot of time at home.5 How is Mrs Goodwin’s point of view affected by her own personal experience?In one way her experience hasn’t affected he r attitude: She left school and went immediately to a job(without going to university) and has been working full-time since then and yet she is sympathetic andtakes a soft line.6 How is Lindenfield’s point of view affected by her own personal experience?Her personal experience was that she worked in a bar before finding her first proper job as an aerial photographic assistant. So she says such work is a great networking opportunity. If new graduates aregood at such work and bright, cheerful and polite, they will soon be promoted. Her personal experience thus reflects – or perhaps has created – her point of view.7 What would the first two paragraphs have focused on if they had been presented from the point of viewof the students rather than the parents?The first two paragraphs would have focused on the need for the new graduates to rest for a bit after their hard studies. It is OK for students to relax with the TV or to socialize with friends for a while, thenthey can start a serious search for employment after that.Active reading (2)If you ask meBackground informationThis is an informal and personalized account of an economics graduate who gets a job in a pub for a year andthen has an opportunity to be successful (a lucky break). She works in a L ondon pub called “The Salisbury”or “The Marquis Salisbury”, named after someone who was the British Prime Minister three times between1885 and 1902 and whose family once owned the pub’s land. The 100 year old pub is in Leadenhall Street, just off the Charing Cross Road and Leicester Square. Daytime customers can get a pub lunch and evening customers include many office workers and theatre goers (the pub is near many West End theatres). Theinterior of this pub is dazzling, with large mirrors, cut glass an d a mahogany décor.British pubs are often named after famous people (Robin Hood, The Duke of Wellington) or royalty (The Queen’s Arms, the Prince of Wales) or historical symbols (The Rose and Crown to represent King Edward III, The Royal Oak to represent King Charles II who once hid in a large oak tree). Other names often includecolours and animals (The Red Bull, The Black Horse, The Golden Lion, The Swan) or symbols of traditional trades (The Compasses for carpenters, The Three Hammers for blacksmiths, The Three Tuns forwinemakers).As the pub is a social place to meet as well as a place to get a drink, people often play games like dominoesor darts or join a quiz or competition. A common expression is to “go down the pub” or “go round to thelocal” (bot h meaning to go to the local pub).Culture pointspub in London: A pub is a place where people go for a drink and to meet friends and socialize. People canplay games –such as darts, cards, dominoes –in a pub and pubs often have quiz nights, with prizes for thewinners, and live music (See also Background information)The Salisbury is a well-known pub in central London (See also Background information) London School of Economics is a distinguished university in central London, famous for social sciences. Language points1 If you ask me, real life is not all it’s cracked up to be. (Para 1)In my opinion (If you ask me introduces an opinion), real life is not everything that people say it is. If athing is cracked up to be, people normally praise it but in the opinion of the speaker they are wrong.2 … spending money when you don’t have any is dead easy. (Para 7)Dead here means very. For example, we can say dead tired (exhausted), a dead loss (a complete loss oruseless), a dead weight (very heavy, difficult to lift).3 What were the odds on anyone being so nice? (Para 11)What are the chances that someone would be so nice?

求职面试如何成功英语作文120词左右全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1How to Get the Job You WantHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. I know I'm just a kid, but I've learned a lot about job interviews from watching my parents and from what my teacher told our class. Getting a job is super important for grown-ups, so you have to do really well in the interview. Let me share some tips!First up, you have to make a great first impression. That means dressing nice and looking professional. My dad always wears a suit and tie to interviews, even though his job doesn't require it. He says it shows he's serious about wanting the job. My mom gets her hair done and wears make-up and her best work outfit. They both spend time picking out their clothes the night before too. You don't want to be rushing around last minute and show up looking messy.Next, shake hands properly and make eye contact. A weak handshake is no good - you have to grip firmly (but not too tight!) and look the interviewer in the eyes. It shows confidence.My teacher had us practice shaking hands and introducing ourselves. We felt a bit silly at first, but she said it's an important skill for the future.Then in the actual interview, listen carefully to each question and be sure to answer it fully. Don't just give a one word answer - explain your thoughts properly. The interviewers want to see that you can communicate well. My parents always write down a few practice questions and rehearse their answers out loud beforehand.It's also good to do your research on the company beforehand so you can ask your own questions at the end. That shows you're really interested in working there. Maybe ask about the company culture, or growth opportunities, or their biggest challenges. Smart questions make you look impressive.Another biggie is to be super positive and enthusiastic! Talk about why you love the work, or give examples of when you went above and beyond. That kind of energy and passion will make the interviewers want to hire you for sure.Oh, and don't forget to send a thank-you email or note afterwards!That tiny extra touch can help seal the deal.Those are the main tips I've picked up so far. I know it might sound like a lot, but doing all those little things right in an interview is what gets people hired for their dream jobs. Just be prepared, be professional, and let your awesome personality shine through! I can't wait until it's my turn to start interviewing when I'm older.Well, thanks for reading my advice! I may only be a fourth grader but I'm pretty wise when it comes to the working world already. Just you wait and see - maybe you'll be interviewing ME for a job at your company someday! Though hopefully I'll be a bit taller by then. Anyway, good luck out there!篇2How to Be a Winner at Job InterviewsHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm going to teach you all about job interviews. Job interviews are when grown-ups talk to other grown-ups to see if they can get a new job. It's super important to do a good job at the interview so you can get hired!The first thing you need to know is what a job interview is like. It's kind of like when your teacher calls on you to answer a question in class, except way more serious. There will be one or two grown-ups asking you lots of questions to see if you are agood fit for the job. They might ask you things like "Why do you want this job?" or "What are your strengths and weaknesses?"Getting ready for the big day is really important. You need to practice answering questions so you sound smart and confident. My dad always says "Practice makes perfect!" You can practice in front of a mirror or have your parents ask you sample questions. Don't just make up answers though, you need to give real examples from your life.Another key thing is dressing for success! You can't just wear your favorite superhero pajamas. You have to pick out your nicest outfit – probably a suit and tie if you're a boy or a dress if you're a girl. You want to look very professional and mature. Comb your hair nice and don't have any stains on your clothes. Grown-ups call this "putting your best foot forward."Now for the really hard part – the actual job interview! You need to make a great first impression by giving the interviewer a firm handshake and looking them in the eye. Sit up nice and tall and speak clearly. Don't say "um" and "like" a lot. If you don't understand a question, it's okay to ask them to explain it again.The interviewers will be looking to see if you are really interested in the job. That means you need to know a lot about the company already. Do research ahead of time so you can talkabout how great the company is and why you'd be perfect for the job.Grown-ups also like when you ask them good questions at the end. You could ask things like "What are the biggest challenges for someone in this job?" or "What do you like best about working here?" Asking questions shows you are curious and want to learn as much as you can.After you answer all their questions, make sure to thank them for their time. You can shake their hand again on your way out. Then all you have to do is wait patiently to hear back if you got the job or not. Keep your fingers crossed!Even if you don't get hired this time, don't get discouraged. Interviewing takes a lot of practice for grown-ups too. You'll get another chance. Just think about what you can improve on next time. Maybe you need to speak up more, or work on your posture, or research the company better. As long as you try your best, that's what matters.Well, those are my top tips for rocking a job interview! It takes preparation and confidence, but I know you can do it. Just imagine how proud your parents will be when you land that job. You'll be joining the workforce in no time! Let me know if you have any other questions.篇3How to Rock Your Job Interview!Hey kids!

It's okay to pause for a few seconds to gather your thoughts before responding.One of the trickiest parts can be behavioral questions, where they ask about a time you faced a challenge or worked as part of a team. The key here is using concrete examples from your life, like that time you organized a big fundraiser for your school or coached your little sister's soccer team. Real-life stories make your answers way more memorable and impressive.At the end, have a few good questions ready to ask the interviewer. This shows you're curious and truly interested in the role. Things like "What do you enjoy most about working here?" or "Can you tell me about the company culture?" are perfect.Finally, be confident in yourself! You've got this. Give yourself a lil' pep talk in the mirror that morning. Maybe do a happy dance if you need to shake off those nervous feelings.

Job interviews can be really scary, but if you follow my tips, you'll be a pro in no time!First up, you gotta prepare like crazy. That means doing tons of research on the company you're interviewing with. Learn everything you can about what they do, who their customers are, and what their values are. That way, when they ask you "Why do you want to work here?", you can give an awesome answer that shows you're not just looking for any old job, but that you really want to work for their awesome company.Next, practice your answers to common interview questions out loud. Things like "Tell me about yourself", "What are your strengths and weaknesses?", and "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?". Don't just think about your answers, say them out loudover and over again. That way, when you're in the actual interview, the words will flow smoothly instead of you umm-ing and ahh-ing all over the place.Another key thing is to prepare some super cool questions to ask the interviewer at the end. Interviewers always say "Do you have any questions for me?" and you gotta be ready with at least 2 or 3 really good ones. Ask about the company culture, or what skills they think are most important for the role, or what a typical day looks like. Asking good questions shows you're seriously interested and engaged.Now let's talk about how to make a stellar first impression when you walk in the room. Dress for success, people! That means a nice suit or dress, polished shoes, tidy hair - the whole nine yards. You wanna look professional and put-together. And don't forget to smile! A warm, friendly smile will make the interviewer feel at ease right away.During the interview itself, sit up nice and straight with your shoulders back. Make eye contact and don't fidget or tap your feet - those are nervous habits that can be distracting. Speak slowly and clearly too. It's okay to take a pause before answering if you need to gather your thoughts.When the interviewer asks you a question, repeat part of it back to them before answering. So if they say "Tell me about a time you faced a challenge at work", you could respond with "A challenge I once faced at work was..." That little trick shows you're a great listener.Most importantly, stay positive! Don't trash talk your former boss or co-workers, even if you had a terrible experience. Interviewers want to hire people with a can-do attitude who will bring positive energy to their team.At the end of the interview, make sure to thank the interviewer for their time. You can also reiterate why you're so pumped about the role and working for their company. A firm handshake seals the deal!Phew, that's a lot of tips! But if you follow this advice, I'm totally confident you'll blow that interviewer's socks off. Just relax, be yourself, and let your awesome skills shine through. You've got this!篇5How to Get That Job You Really WantHey kids! Today I want to talk to you about job interviews. You might be thinking "But I'm just a kid, why do I need to know about job interviews?" Well, it's never too early to start learning this stuff. Plus, you'll probably have to interview for jobs like babysitting, dog walking, or that cool job at the ice cream shop before you know it!A job interview is kind of like a test, but not the type where you have to answer questions about math or spelling. It's a test to see if you are the right fit for a particular job. The person interviewing you wants to know if you have the right skills and personality for the position.So how do you pass this "test" and get the job you really want? Here are my top tips:Dress for SuccessYou've heard that expression before, right? When you go for a job interview, you need to dress nice and look professional. That doesn't mean you have to wear a suit and tie (unless you're interviewing to be a banker or lawyer when you're older!). But you should wear clean, neat clothes that aren't ripped or stained. Pants or a skirt rather than shorts or sweats. A collared shirt instead of a t-shirt. Brush your hair and teeth. You get the idea!Looking put together shows you are taking this interview seriously.Make Eye Contact and SmileWhen you get to the interview, you'll probably be a little nervous. That's okay and normal! Just try your best to make eye contact with the person interviewing you when you greet them and answer their questions. Smiling and having a friendly facial expression is important too. You want to seem confident, honest and likeable. Avoiding eye contact or frowning makes it seem like you aren't interested or are hiding something.Listen CarefullyThe person interviewing you is going to ask you questions to learn about you and your skills. Make sure you listen very carefully to each question before giving your answer. Don't interrupt them while they are asking the question either. If you didn't quite understand the question, just politely ask them to repeat it. Paying close attention shows you are taking things seriously.Be Prepared With Your Own QuestionsAt the end of most job interviews, you'll be asked if you have any other questions. This is your chance to ask smart thingsabout the job and company. Maybe you want to know what a typical day would be like or what skills are most important for someone in that role. Asking a few good questions shows you are very interested in the position.Say Thank YouFinally, before leaving, make sure to thank the interviewer for their time. You can do this in person as you are leaving, and it's also a good idea to send a short thank you email or note later that day. Thanking them leaves a great final impression.So there you have it - the keys to nailing that job interview! It's mostly about preparing ahead of time, staying calm and focused, and making sure your words and actions show that you really want the gig. Follow these tips and you'll be the stand-out candidate for sure.篇6How to Rock Your Job Interview!Hey kids! Have you ever thought about getting a job? It may seem like a long way off, but it's never too early to start preparing. Today, I'm going to share some super important tips on how to ace your job interviews when the time comes!First things first, you need to do your homework on the company you're interviewing with. That means learning as much as you can about what they do, their values, and their culture. You can find a lot of this information on their website or by asking your parents or teachers. Knowing about the company shows that you're really interested and have put in the effort to learn about them.Next up, practice makes perfect! You'll want to role-play with your friends or family members, taking turns being the interviewer and the interviewee. This will help you get comfortable with answering common interview questions like "Tell me about yourself" or "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" The more you practice, the more confident you'll feel when the big day arrives.Now, let's talk about what to wear. You'll want to dress nicely, just like you would for a special occasion. That means no ripped jeans or t-shirts with silly sayings. Instead, opt for something a little more grown-up, like a collared shirt or a dressy top. You want to look neat and put-together, showing the interviewer that you're taking this seriously.During the interview itself, remember to make eye contact, sit up straight, and speak clearly. You'll also want to have a fewquestions prepared to ask the interviewer. This shows that you're engaged and curious about the role and the company.One of the most important things is to stay positive and confident throughout the entire process. Even if you're feeling a little nervous (which is totally normal!), try to focus on your strengths and why you're the perfect person for the job.Finally, don't forget to send a thank-you note or email after the interview. This is a simple but meaningful way to show your appreciation and keep yourself top-of-mind with the interviewer.I know all of this may seem like a lot to remember, but trust me, with a little preparation and practice, you'll be a job interview superstar! Just imagine how proud your parents will be when you land your dream job at the lemonade stand or the neighborhood dog-walking service.So, what are you waiting for? Start prepping now, and you'll be ready to wow them when the time comes. Good luck, my friends!。
