閱讀原文

      ①The purpose of an interview is to find out if your goals and the goals of an organization are compatible.Other goals of the interview are：to answer questions successfully，obtain any additional information needed to make a decision，accent your special strengths，establish a positive relationship，show confidence，and to sell yourself.Based on these goals，place yourself in the role of the interviewer and develop anticipated questions and answers to three categories：company data，personal data，and specific job data.You also develop questions which you will ask to determine how well your career goals match the needs of the organization.These questions include both those you would ask before a job offer and those you would ask after a job offer.

      ②Prior to the interview，acquaint yourself with the laws pertaining to job discrimination.This knowledge will enhance your chances of being considered on an equal standing with other applicants.

      ③To develop confidence，adequately prepare for the interview.Focus on how you can best serve the organization to which you are applying.Then rehearse until the rough edges are smoothed and you sound convincing to those with whom you have practiced.

      ④Since the interview will center on you，proper self-management process is divided into four stages：the before stage，the greeting stage，the consultation stage，and the departure stage.The before stage includes writing a confirmation letter，concentrating on appearance and nonverbal communication，developing your portfolio，anticipating questions with positive responses，and arriving early.The greeting stage includes greeting everyone courteously，using waiting-room smarts，using your time wisely，and applying proper protocol when meeting the interviewer.The consultation stage includes responsiveness and enthusiasm，knowing when to interject key points，showing sincerity，highlighting your strengths，and listening intently.The departure stage includes leaving on a positive note，expressing appreciation，expressing interest，leaving promptly，and making notes immediately after departure.

      ⑤To save time and money and offer convenience to prospective employees and employers，video taping and satellite videophones may become a common method of interviewing.Being at ease in front of a camera would be important for these types of interviews.

      ⑥Following the interview，write thank-you letters to each person who interviewed you and to those who helped you get the interview.When invited for a second interview，go prepared by using your notes and feedback from the interview to zero in on what the company wants.If the company doesn‘t respond in two weeks，call back or write a follow-up letter.You may get turned down.If so，try to find out why as a means of self-improvement.

      ⑦Following a job offer，take a few days to consider all elements and then call or write a letter either accepting or declining the offer-—whichever is appropriate.If you accept and you are presently employed，write an effective letter of resignation，departing on a positive note.

參考答案

2.[B] 意爲：你與其他申請者具有同等被僱傭的機會。參閱第二段。

4.[B]根據第六段，如果獲得第二次面試的機會，你應該利用第一次面試時的筆記和反饋信息，集中找出公司需要什麼(即：需要什麼樣的人)。

5.[A] 意爲：如何安排好一次面試。

文章的前三段提到了如何準備面試，第四、五段提到了面試期間應該如何做，最後幾段提到了面試後(以及被錄用後)應該怎麼辦。全文主要是對參加面試的人提出建議。

有同學說，自己就是找不着刷題的“套路”和竅門，做再多題都不得要領，怎麼辦？

提醒大家不要慌張，現階段我們都有可能碰到類似的情況，因爲大家的基礎不牢、不會對做題方法及時進行總結，也可能造成自己複習效率慢。

但刷題環節是我們強化階段致勝的重要利器，一定要牢牢把握、不容有失誤和懈怠之處！
