场景:老师办公室    人物 RhyanMs Lisa


Rhyan: Good morning, Ms. Lisa.

Lisa: Good morning, Rhyan. What can I do for you?

Rhyan: Well, I’ve got an interview invitation from DELL.

Lisa: Really! That is great news! Congratulations!

Rhyan: Thank you so much. I really want this job, but I am just so nervous about it. I have no experience in job interview before.

Lisa: Don’t worry. Well, you know, you have to go through the stage of interviews before you get your job. The fear of the unknown, rejection and failure doesn’t help at all. What you shall do is prepare it very well and be confident.

Rhyan: Yes, I see.

Lisa: A good preparation for the interview is the most important thing for each job applicant. To a great extent, being well prepared will guarantee your success in an interview.

Rhyan: Could you tell me how to prepare?

Lisa: Well, first of all, learn all you can about the company in advance. Since DELL is a well-known company, you can easily collect a lot of information about it. Maybe this kind of information will help in your interview.

Rhyan: Yes, I will. As a matter of fact, I have already read the website of DELL many times and I’ve learned a lot of news about the company.

Lisa: Then you need to get to know the requirements for the position you are applying for, because different positions may ask for different qualifications.

Rhyan: Good idea. I’ll learn more about the position I’m applying for.

Lisa: Don't forget to bring some copies of your CV.

Rhyan: Some CV of mine I thought the interviewers already had my CV.   

Lisa: They may have your CV before the interview, but it never hurts to bring some extra copies.

Rhyan: OK, I keep it in mind.

Lisa: Thirdly, a brief self introduction should be prepared.

Rhyan: Yes, I have done this part.

Lisa: OK? And finally, some practical interview questions should also be prepared.

Rhyan: I have no idea about this part. Well, no one actually knows what the interviewers will ask during the interview.

Lisa: No, nobody knows. But you can also prepare some commonly asked questions during the interview.

Rhyan: Some commonly asked questions?

Lisa: Yes, such as why did you leave your present job, why are you interested in joining the company, what your advantages are, what your greatest weakness is, and so on.

Rhyan: But these questions are very difficult to answer.

Lisa: That’s why they should be prepared in advance. It can help to calm the nerves of the applicant and to go in with a confidence, self-assured attitude.

Rhyan: I understand.

Lisa: You can also do some rehearsal with your classmates before the interview, and you can feel more relaxed in the real interview.

Rhyan: Thank you so much, Ms Lisa. I’ve got some idea of the interview, and I’m not as nervous as before. I really appreciate your help.

Lisa: You are welcome. Good luck.

Rhyan: Thank you.
