successful interviews

by Katherine Bilsborough

An interview for a job is something that nearly everyone has to go through at least once in their lives - sometimes many times - and they are normally very stressful occasions.  But there is a lot that can be done to make them more enjoyable and above all, to help you to get the job in question.

In this article you can:

read what different people explain about interviews that went wrong - and what they should not have done!  
listen to someone telling her husband about an interview she has just had.
practise interview vocabulary and collocations.
revise reported speech and third conditionals.

You can see more interview tips here.  Look too at the Job Skills download.
