32、sit down. Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they nervous? Do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, holding their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make all

33、owances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then you have to ask yourself what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye contact? Because if they won t look at you in a job which depends on making a good impressi

34、on, then probably in the job they wont do very well in terms of making contact and having good relations with other colleagues. The sort of person normally we would look for would be someone who was, open, outgoing, enthusiastic and who could talk intelligently about what they had done and whatthey

35、hoped to do. That doesnt mean that they have to have had a lot of experience but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experience theyve had.The other kinds of things that we might talk about in an interview of course are what the person expects to get from a new job, and I think that it i

36、s important becauseit showsthe expectations that the person has-what they want from their job. It s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs.B. But as important as qualifications are, and you wont get to an interview or at least people wont get to an interview without the qualifications, t

37、he most important thing in fact is the character and how a person presents themselves at interview. I find it very difficult to define exactly the sort of person I am looking for, but when I meet someone I can tell whether they are the sort of person that I would like to appoint or whether they are

38、not.At interview the first thing that I notice is how the person settles down, when they sit down. Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they nervous? Um, do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, er holding

39、 their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then of course you have to ask yourself if there like this after, say, an hour of interview, what will they be like in a normal job?Sec

40、ond thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye contact? Because if they won t look at you in a job where in, in a situation where a job depends on, on them making a good impression, then probably in the job they wont do very well in terms of making, er, good, making contact with

41、 other colleagues, making, having good relations with other colleagues. The sort of person normally wewould look for would be someone who was, open, outgoing, enthusiastic and who could talk intelligently about what they had done and what they hoped to do.

44、see. Good. Good.Mrs. Grey: Miss Langley, I see that your last employer, Mr. Carmichaes, described youas conscientious. Do you think you are?Jane: Well, I certainly try to be. I have a set routine for the day in the office which means that I know exactly all the jobs that I have to do. And if conscie

45、ntiousmeans being exrtemely careful and paying attention to detail, then yes, I supposeI m conscientious.Mr. Toms: But he said too that you could adapt quickly to change. Did you leave because they were making changes, or what?Jane: No, not at all. They made a lot of changes while I was there. I m afraid I became unhappy because I wanted something more challenging.Mrs. Grey: I assume you wanted something like the job of Senior Secretary that w ere offering. Jane:
