Let’s start our lesson. Today we are going to get some useful information about “Job hunting”. So, the theme of our lesson is “Job Hunting” and the aim of our lesson is to learn to have an interview for the job. At the last lesson we learnt how to fill in an application form and how to write a resume. And I asked you to write a resume, using your imagination.

I asked you to do that, because today you will have some kind of an interview for the job. Let’s imagine: today I’m a director of a firm “Equipment for you”, and I need a team of creative reliable people who will help my company to become competitive in the world market.

So, there are two vacancies in my firm. The first one is the position of a Sales Manager and the second one is the position of a Secretary. At the end of our lesson all of you will have an interview with me and only two of you will get a job.  

I looked through you resumes and I can say that there are two leaders in your group now. But it doesn’t mean that they will get a job. I will watch all of you during our lesson, I’ll try to analyze each of you, I will estimate your characters, your behavior, and your professional abilities.

And now, dear applicant, look at the blackboard. Let’s read the adds.

Dear applicants, in order to have a successful interview; let’s have some exercises for lexes revision.  

Let’s revise different personal and professional features of character

I need two volunteers, one from each team. The first task for you will be as follows: Look at the blackboard; we have two columns of features of character. Your task is to put “+” if the word is positive feature and “-” if it is negative.

Let’s listen to you dialogues

And now let’s check the task which girls have done. You have the same papers on your desks.

Teacher: In order to master these tips let’s watch the video.

• Video: Most interviews, no matter what the industry, are designed to assess a few key areas: professionalism, interest in job you are offered, fit for the job including applicable skills and personality. Here are some tips of dos and don’ts of interviewing.

Dress for success:

Do be dressed properly for your interview. If you are a man wear a suit. You can either go round with navy-blue or chocolate-grey with a white shirt. If you are a woman, do make sure you wear suit for an interview; either a skirt suit or pant suit is fine. Don’t ware large jewelry, bright colors or too much make-up.

Handshakes:

Don’t give a lamb handshake. Do give a firm, but not bone crashing handshake. The key of a good handshake is to get the web between your thumb and four finger fully in contact with web of a person whom you are shaking hand. Also don’t forget to make eye contact and smile.

How to handle some key questions:

-Tell me about yourself.

- Well, I was born in San Francisco and my family moved to Boston. Well, actually the suburbs of Boston, about 20 minutes upside, but you know, you tell everyone Boston. And then I went to Upend in Transylvania and I started as an artist of history and then I switched to economics but then I wasn’t so sure so I switched back to art history. And then I had to complete more credits to do the major….

(This isn’t a license to tell your life story. Rather use this as an opportunity to give a concise summary of your career abilities and goals.)

• I am very energetic and organized person that’s why I am trying each opportunity such as this one. I have over 4 years experience at sauciest level and I’d like to further my career path. I am also fluent in French and I studied and lived in Paris.
• Great!

Assessing your weaknesses:

Any interviewer wants to know how you assess your good points and your bad points.

• What would you say is your greatest weakness or area that you can’t prove upon
• I have a tendency to oversleep. In the past I overslept and missed important meetings.

When discussing your weaknesses avoid personality or character flaws. Instead focus on areas that can be approved upon the time.  

• If someone isn’t working hard enough sometimes I end on picking up the slack. I am working on just sticking to my own order of business.

Inappropriate Questions:

• So, are you married? – I am single.

It’s actually illegal for interviewers to ask you personal questions such as your age or material status so you don’t need to volunteer that information.

If you like, you can answer like that:

• Let me ask you, are you going to have a baby the next few years?
• I’d rather keep the focus on a job - not my personality.
• Ok, that’s fine.

Some important things to remember:

1. Stand up and greet your interviewer
2. Don’t wear too much perfume or cologne
3. Bring a copy of your resume
4. Ask for your interviewer’s business card
5. Turn of your cell phone

If you forget and it goes out during the interview apologize immediately and turn it off without checking who is calling or answering.

Teacher: So, girls, answer my questions, please.

1. What should you dress to have a successful interview?
2. Should you wear large jewelry for the interview?
3. What is the key of a good handshake?
4. If your employer asked you to tell some words about yourself, would you tell your life story?
5. What questions are considered to be inappropriate?
6. If your telephone goes out during the interview, what should you do?
7. What important things should we remember?

Teacher: I consider that you’ve understood that when having an interview everything matters: walk, appearance, make-up, voice, manners and gestures.

So, you are ready to have your first “almost real” interview. Let’s start. Who wants to be the first?

Questions for the interview:

1. What are your three main strengths? (teacher)
2. Can you work under pressure? (psychologist)
3. How do you overcome nervousness? (psychologist)
4. What do you consider to be your greatest weakness? (teacher)
5. You will have a two month probation period, and we’ll not pay the money during this period. Does that suit you? (teacher)
6. Why did you live your previous job? (psychologist)
7. Where did you work earlier? (teacher)
8. What can you say about you previous director? (psychologist)
9. What would you do if I spell some coffee on your documents? (psychologist)
10. What languages do you know? (teacher)
11. What do you consider the best way to attract clients? (psychologist)
12. What education do you have? (teacher)
13. What languages do you know? (teacher)
14. Do you work well under pressure? (psychologist)

Teacher: Now, we should discuss who gets a job. Maybe our guests will help us.

Teacher: So, today at our lesson we’ve done a lot of work, we’ve read and translated, answered the questions, watched the video, revised words and professional terminology.

You’ve worked hard and I hope that this lesson will help some when.
