READING 2 Read the text and complete gaps 1–5 with sentences A–F. There is one extra sentence.
Job interviews can be very stressful. No matter how many times you have gone through the process,
each time you are invited to one, you will experience the same kind of apprehension as you did the
first time. This is because an interview always means meeting new people and answering new
questions. The good news is that by preparing yourself carefully, you can relieve at least some of the
tension. Preparation for the interview should primarily involve finding out some information about the
company. Do some research into their mission, products and any projects they have completed. 1 ___
You will also find it easier to present your skills and experience in the most effective way. Apart from
researching the company before the interview, you might also try searching the Internet for some of
the typical questions you may be asked. 2 ___ They should also highlight the skills which are of most
relevance both for the employer and for the post. On the other hand, even the best answers will not
serve their purpose if they don’t match what you are asked about. 3 ___ Most interviewers also allow
candidates to ask their own questions, so have two or three ready to show your interest in the
company. Making a good impression is not only connected with what you say during the interview. 4
___ Getting your outfit ready the day before the big day will definitely make you more composed in the
morning so you can be more focused on what really matters. Choosing the appropriate clothes may
seem difficult as there are no hard and fast rules concerning job interview outfits. 5 ___ Finally,
remember to get to the interview on time, which in fact means you have to arrive earlier just in case
you get lost or something unexpected happens. To sum up, although the stress related to job
interviews is unavoidable, there are ways in which you can manage it. Good preparation will help you
stay calm so you can do your best.

A Once you have done this, the next step will be to pre-pare answers to them in such a way that
makes them specific yet informative.

B This will help you understand what they are looking for in candidates.

C You should therefore listen carefully to the questions and make sure your answers are relevant.

D It’s equally important not to mention details concerning your previous employment unless the
interviewers ask you about it.

E However, most companies still keep quite a traditional approach, so going for something casual but
elegant is definitely the safest thing to do.

F What also matters is your appearance and your manners. ___ /
