Applying for a job

The happiness of any person largely depends on having a suitable job. One may learn about a job vacancy in a newspaper, from a friend, from the employment agency or TV advertisement.

To apply for a job you are interested in, it is necessary to convince the potential employer of your ability to do this job well. The first thing you should do is to prepare a resume (curriculum vitae (CV) – BrE). A resume should contain a summary of essential facts from your background: personal data, career objective, education, and work experience. You should emphasize your strong points in your resume. For example, if you have no job experience, stress your personal qualities (sociability, honesty, reliability, efficiency, etc.) or educational background. A well-composed resume will make the prospective employer understand what abilities make you a suitable person for a particular job.

If you interest the employer, he will invite you for an interview. Interviews are conducted on the various patterns: there are traditional one-to-one and group interviews, board or panel interviews (where an applicant is interviewed by a panel of interviewers), «deep-end» interviews which give a candidate the opportunity to demonstrate his skills and apply his knowledge.

To make a good impression on the interviewer it is important to find some information about the company you are going to work in. Besides, there are some rules of behavior at an interview. For instance, when greeting the interviewer you should wait until he shakes your hand. Also, you shouldn’t sit down until he offers you to do that. In the interview, it is common to avoid discussing personal, domestic or financial problems if you are not asked about.

Interviewers can’t check applicant’s professional skills immediately, so, the first thing they would like to, is the agreeable personality and friendly attitude of the interviewee. You shouldn’t criticize your former colleagues or the employer: criticism helps to reveal your own negative qualities.

Interviewers are usually interested in qualifications of the candidate, his/her previous job experience, motivation and the reasons of applying for the job. In the interview, you may ask questions too – about salary, probationary period, social guarantees, and transport facilities to or from the job, chances of promotion. But you should discuss the subject you are interested in after the interviewer had introduced it.

Interviewers may also ask candidates other kinds of difficult questions (“killer” questions) to see how they react under pressure. For example, they may ask a hypothetical question related to work, such as: “Which three famous people would you like to invite to a dinner party and why?” Or: “What would you do if an important customer was very rude to you?”

It is clear that a job interview is a stress situation for any applicant. The majority of interviewees feel nervous, and not everyone is able to show his worth in the interview. But it is necessary to concentrate oneself for some time because the conclusion about the candidate is made within the first ten minutes of the interview.

Underline or mark the main ideas of the text and comment on them in Russian/English.
