Part One : Reading

A/-Comprehension :
Read the text carefully then do the following activities.
What is a job interview? Well, generally it is what follows after you have sent your CV to an
employer who wants to know more about you. Nowadays, employers want to meet you in person
and see what you look like and discuss your qualification. There are several things you have to be
careful about, for example, the way you dress for that first meeting. For men, it is better to wear
formal clothes-a shirt, tie and it is appropriate to wear a jacket or blazer. Make sure your hair is
tidy and looking your best. If you are a woman, it is appropriate to look smart and not wear too
much make up! Another important point is punctuality. Make sure you arrive on time. Never be
late! They may think you are not very reliable. When you are in the actual interview answer the
question clearly and directly and, if there is something you do not understand, ask them to repeat
the question instead of giving the wrong answer. Show that you are interested in the job but do
not be overexcited. Relax, do you best and be yourself!
