Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:
Whatever the type of job interview

a walk
-
in, a telephone interview or a regular in
-
person job interview, preparation is the key. It is important that you keep yourself in a
state of high motivation and readiness, making optimum use of your time to equip
yourself to excel. Here are a few t
hings you’d like to do for sure, by way of preparation.
You are certain to be asked specific questions about your potential employer, so make
sure you’ve done your homework on company information like company history, recent
performance, their last year'
s profits and latest product launches. Nothing is as
disappointing as when a candidate shows enthusiasm and then doesn’t even know the
most basic facts and figures about the company. So, where can you find all this
information? The most likely place is the
Internet. A visit to the company website could
help you get all the vital statistics, including products and services as well as a feel of
the company culture. You must also check out the annual report and look for a press or
company news page. Put their
name into a search engine to see if they’ve had any
recent interesting stories written about them. It is also advisable to tap industry sources,
trade journals, newspapers and other business publications to give you good background
knowledge of the industr
y as well as the company.
Talk to people who work in the company or in similar companies / areas to gather as
much information as you can about the nature of work, responsibilities, work culture
and work requirements.
For the interview, you need to know
your CV inside out. Go through your CV carefully
and make notes on how you will elaborate or illustrate what you have stated. You need
to be ready with examples from your experience to be able to substantiate all the claims
you have made. Try to relate sp
ecific areas of your CV back to the job description. It
will make it clear to the interviewer why they should hire you. Also go through the copy
of your application carefully before the interview. The interview panel is likely to ask
specific questions abo
ut it.
