We should be careful with ‘what we wear and try not to appear nervous. Our body language can also be important. How should I sit? What should I do with my hands? But one thing we can’t really do anything about is what the interviewer does, Sometimes interviewers like to ask difficult or strange {questions to test an interviewee or they can even be rude. Here are some examples of some strange interviewers sent in to us by our readers, Jane Simmons, a sales rep who went for an interview for an important sales job was introduced to five interviewers. Quite common to have an interview with more than one interviewer, she thought. What wasn’t s0 common was for the interviewers to ask the same questions one after the other! Chris Ray applied for a job in a marketing company which was advertised in his local newspaper. He arrived with his CV, ready for the interview with the director of the marketing department. The only problem was that the director of the marketing department didn’t arrive for the interview! Jim Stevens filled in the application form for a job in a big company as a secretary to the managing director, ‘When he went for the interview he waited for three and a half hours before the interviewer arrived. The interviewer didn’t seem too interested in Jim either. He repeated several times that this type of company didn’t need Jim, but Jim needed the company. In the end, Jim got up and left the interview before it had finished. realised halfway through the interview that I didn’t want to work in that company.’ Perhaps the example of Jim's interview tells us something important. If you go for an interview and you don't get a good impression of the company then maybe it isn’t the type of company you want to work for.bes) Vocabulary | crime EBB a Complete the table using the words from the box.
