Now Your Turn
SAMPLE DIALOG
A: Can you give me some advice on how to succeed in an interview?
B: Well, first of all, you need to pay attention to your appearance. You have to dress appropriately.
A: What do you mean by appropriately?
B: It’s often best to wear a suit. Some bosses don’t like to see a candidate on a dirty T-shirt and jeans.
A: I see. Careless clothes may be an indicator¹ of careless attitude in work.
B: Right on. Also, many employers are unwilling² to hire a young man with his hair dyed red or yellow.
A: Then, what about during the interview?
B: You should speak politely but firmly. If you look too shy, they may suspect you are not capable of dealing³ with a challenging task.
A: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.
B: They’ll probably want to know something about your work experience. Companies usually don’t want an entirely⁴ new hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.
A: Fortunately, I gained some experience at a law of firm during the last summer holiday. I worked as an intern⁵ to provide free legal advice for those who need it.
B: Oh. I see, this is what they called “legal assistance to the needy”. Also, a company may want to know something about your character. You see, team players are often valued above all others.
A: What kind of questions should I ask them?
B: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.
A: I hear that many companies asked the candidates what salary they expect.
B: That’s true. You have to inquire about the possible salary level for a green hand in advance. If the salary you expect is reasonable, this shows that you know the professions well and will have a good impression on the interviewer.

A: Oh, I’ve learned so much from you. A thousand thanks.
