Interviewers should make eye contacts in video interviews as they do in in－person inte

In order to leave good impression on the interviewers, you should emphasize your good points without sounding （).

Interviews are part of most people' s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.

Don' t mistakenly think that your interviewers want to know about you. They are interested only in that small part of you that can or can' t do the job they have advertised.

sadly , many of us are so flattered by questions such as "Tell me about your strengths" that we take it as an invitation to chatter and make fools of ourselves.

Never think that lots of enthusiasm is enough. sit down with a pen , paper and the job description ，and work out the skills and qualities they are looking for.

Itemize your technical or professional skills as they match the requirements of the job. Then recall an incident to illustrate each of these skills. When you have done this

, you will be in a position to begin justifying your ability and suitability.

Remember that very few questions are lightly asked.

If your interviewers are interviewing more than a couple of candidates , they have probably worked up a list of eight to ten questions to put to each person. In well-organized businesses , they will be making marks in their notebooks as you give your replies. An imprecise answer will show that you do not appreciate the value of the question. s0 think through how you can give strong

, specific answers to questions such as "Can you work well in a team or on your own or in a small business？"

Avoid giving them reasons to exclude you. You want to appear the sort of person who will help out in a crisis. make the tea sometimes even if it is not your job. be tolerant of others. whatever their age ,sex , race or religion ,

and be easy to manage. Don't attack your previous employer as it suggests you might attack your now one.

Try asking them a few questions. If you ask what sort of projects you would be likely to start work on ,you might then get back some very useful feedback. If they start opening Up

to you , you can get into a more equal conversation and may have an opportunity to show that you can deal with the sort of situation they are describing.

, "the age of respect", when it was an honour to have you, the interviewee, on the programme, lasted until the middle 50s. The second, "the age of supremacy", when politicians in particular looked upon the interviewers as rivals who made them feel uncomfortable by their knowledge and rigour of questioning, came to an end at the beginning of this decade. Now we are in "the age of evasion", when most prominent interviewees have acquired the art of seeming to answer a question whilst bypassing its essential thrust.

Why should this be？ From the complexity of causes responsible for the present commonplace interview form, a few are worth singling out, such as the revolt against rationality and the worship of feeling in its place. To the young of the 60s, the painstaking search for understanding of a given political problem may have appeared less fruitful and satisfying than the free expression of emotion which the same problem generated. Sooner or later, broadcasting was bound to reflect this.

This bias against understanding has continued. To this we must add the professional causes that have played their part. The convention of the broadcast interview had undergone little change or radical development since its rise in the 50s. When a broadcasting form. ceases to develop, its practitioners tend to take it for granted and are likely to say "how" rather than ask "why".

Furthermore, these partly psychological, partly professional tendencies were greatly accelerated by the huge expansion of news and current affairs output over the last 15 years. When you had many, additional hours of current affairs broadcasting, interviewing turned out to be a far cheaper convention than straight reporting, which is costly in terms of permanent reporters and time preparation. The temptation to combine an expanded news and current affairs service with a relatively small additional financial expense by making the interview happen everywhere proved overwhelming.

To be fair, there are compensating virtues in interviewing, such as immediacy and authority, yet in all honesty I must say that the spread of the interviewing arrangement has led to a corresponding diminution of quality broadcasting.

According to the author, in the past politicians thought that television interviewers ______.

A．knew more about politics than they did

B．should be honoured to meet them

C．really were eager to be politicians too

D．gave them a difficult time in interviews

Interviewing Skills, by Hazel Conway

The aim of interviewing is to fill vacancies with suitable people, and Hazel Conway points out that if all interviewers were skilled, far fewer people would be given jobs they cannot do, and then leave soon afterwards. It is generally recognised that the cost of recruiting a replacement can equal an annual salary, but it is a weakness of Conways book that it does not deal with the costs that ineffective interviewing techniques can lead to.

Conway claims that the traditional question and answer interview between two people depends too much on whether the interviewer likes the candidate, and not enough on whether he or she has the skills necessary for the job.

Interviewing Skills usefully covers everything an employer needs to know about preparing for and holding interviews, such as researching the applicants work experience. Surprisingly, Conway differs from many writers in considering that applicants personal interests should play no part in decisions concerning appointments. Many might also disagree with the books ideas on how to reject unsuccessful candidates.

While Interviewing Skills would be helpful for someone about to interview job applicants for the first time, it has little to offer anyone experienced in the activity.

Hazel Conway claims that an improvement in interviewing would reduce staff turnover.

B.Wrong

C.Doesn"t say
