Reading Comprehension
In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the applicant (interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her.
A job applicant has the responsibility for ascertaining certain types of information prior to the interview. First, the applicant knows what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his career objective. It is important that the applicant be able state his reasons fro wishing to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company. Relevant information fro the applicant to locate includes such items as the location of the home and regional offices, the financial status of the company, plans fro expansion, and company philosophy, information about most major corporations available in reference books and periodicals.
After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview. The interviewer’s first impression comes form the interviewee’s appearance. For most interviews, appropriate dress for man is a conservative (保守的) dark colored suit with a long sleeve white or light blue shirt. For women a conservative, tailored suit or dress is appropriate. Both men and women should have neat, conservative length of hair.
Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste, many personnel directors form initial impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate, who felt himself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job. However, the personnel manager considered this young man’s long hair, sloppy dress, and overly casual manner unsuited for this particular position.
