one?

How would you describe the current state of

the job market in your country?

What would be your dream job? Why?

Discussion: Job interviews etiquette

You need to be over-preapared for any job interview,

regardless of the job position.
Should you wear casual clothes to a job interview?
By how many minutes should a candidate be allowed to be
late for the interview?
In your opinion, is your handshake one of the most
important things when you meet the people who are going
to interview you?
Where should you leave your mobile phone when you are
in an interview?
Is it appropriate to send a “Thank-you note” to the people
who interviewed you to thank them for the opportunity or
is it too much?
Let’s watch this video in which Anna
Post, an etiquette expert, talks about
etiquette when going to a job
interview.

While you watch the video, write

down the points you agree with and
the ones you disagree with, so we
can talk about it afterwards.
