Getting the job you want can sometimes depend on a success of the job
interview. During the interview the employer will try to find out what kind of person
you are, what experience you have, and how you can fit into the job situation.
After you have got an appointment, review the information that you wrote on your
application form and resume. Practice talking about your education and previous job
experience. Be prepared to explain your skills and abilities specifically.
Go to the interview alone; do not take your friends or children with you. Plan
to arrive about ten minutes before the appointment time. Wear appropriate
clothing; a neat appearance will make a good impression.
During the interview look directly at the interviewer and answer all of her (or
his) questions as specifically as you can. Ask any questions that you have about the
job, such as hours, salary or job benefits. Write down these questions before you go
to the interview. Before you leave, there should be a clear understanding about all
aspects of the job.
At the close of interview, express your thanks and be sure that the interviewer knows
how to contact you if she wants to hire you.

 PASSIVE VOICE

Compare two sentences: We write dictations every week (Active Voice). Dictations are written every
week. (Passive Voice).
Passive Voice is used to show what’s happening with a human being or thing; Active Voice – what a
human being or thing is doing.
e.g. 1. Captain Cook discovered Australia in 1770.
subject predicate object
Australia was discovered by Captain Cook in 1770.
Passive Voice is formed by means of the auxiliary verb ‘to be’ & Past Participle of the notional verb:
to be + V3
We use the preposition ‘by’ to show who performs the action & the preposition ‘with’ to show the way
it is performed. e.g. Australia was discovered by Captain Cook.
The letter was written with a pen.
