 To apply for a job, an applicant must carefully read the job advertisement to
determine if the job description matches his/her interest, needs, and
qualifications. These advertisements list certain requirements that applicant
must prepare and submit. The Requirements usually include an application form
or letter, recommendation letters, school records, and other supporting
documents. After all the requirements are collected and submitted to the
employers, depending on the nature if the job, paper-and-pen test may be
scheduled. Finally, a job interview is arranged.
The job interview is a vital component of job application process.
Documentary requirements, which are the written components of the job
application, do not give a complete picture of the applicant. Test result are
providing all the information employers need. Thus, employers arrange to
interview job applicants to determine whether or not the latter possess the
qualities expected by the company or organization. Because each job interview
is different from each other , it is important that applicants prepare themselves
well.
 In this lesson, you will learn about preparing for a job interview, as well as
what to do and what not to do during a job interview.
