[04:49.31]Passage An Interview [04:55.84]Mr.Raymond Lee,Director of Personnel at the Dallas Electric Company, [05:04.17]gives some advice on how to be successful in a job interview: [05:10.94]First,plan well. [05:15.79]One type of planning is to list all paid or volunteer work you have done, [05:23.34]where you did it,who your boss was,exactly what you did, [05:30.32]and what you have learned there,that is, [05:35.36]how the experience has helped you grow profes-sionally. [05:41.13]You also need to think about what kind of person you are. [05:47.30]What you like to do and why. [05:51.66]If you haven't thought about that ahead of time,you're asking for trouble. [05:59.24]Second,be yourself.It's really important for the interviewer to like you [06:08.38]and want to give you a chance. [06:12.32]Show enthusiasm for hard work, [06:17.29]talk about how you have handled daily problems well, [06:22.85]show that you want to succeed in what you do. [06:28.81]This is very important if there is more than one applicant, [06:35.26]who has the basic quali-fications. [06:39.91]Third,relax and have a conversation with the interviewer. [06:48.37]Fourth,give no simple yes-no answers. Always give examples. [06:58.35]Talk about yourself and what you've done enthusiastically and in detail. [07:06.61]Lastly,be sure you know what kind of business a company or organization does. [07:15.96]And be sure you dress for business,not for a sporting event.
