    [00:00.00] UNIT 3
    [00:04.00]Job Hunting
    [00:07.84]Integrated Skills Development
    [00:13.79]Passage Fruitful Interview
    [00:20.27]The coming early summer is again the time when college students
    [00:27.92]are busy with job interviews
    [00:31.69]in the hope that four years high priced education was not in vain.
    [00:38.35]A job hunter can have the best credentials in the world
    [00:44.51]and still fail the job interview.
    [00:48.95]If that happens,his dreams of employment are shattered at least with one employer.
    [00:57.00]Some people are naturally better at interviews that other,
    [01:02.64]thanks to an outgoing personality.
    [01:07.50]But it takes more than smooth talk to a job.
    [01:12.86]Personnel experts say that preparation is the thing.
    [01:19.39]Learn how to play the game of hard questions,
    [01:24.64]which is what a job interview is all about.
    [01:29.31]Interviewers may differ in technique,
    [01:34.88]but there are some common questions most of them always ask.
    [01:41.36]"The first 60 to 80 seconds are the most important part of an interview,
    [01:49.09]"Ed Morsier,
    [01:52.33]a director of the Graduate School in Carnegie Mellon University,Pittsburgh said.
    [02:00.87]"This occurs during the small talk before the hard questions begin.
    [02:08.91]If you can relate some unique experience that will make the in terviewer remember you,
    [02:15.99]you may clinch a job,"he said.
    [02:20.25]But it must be done without appearing to be contrived.
    [02:26.42]I remember a girl who mentioned that she did macrame.
    [02:32.48]So did the interviewer's wife.
    [02:36.73]Some of the questions seem harmless enough.
    [02:43.89]Actually,they are tricks designed to bring out your weaknesses and strengths.
    [02:51.15]"Tell me about your life"is almost always asked.
    [02:57.32]It is a trap for ramblers.
    [03:01.79]The interviewer wants to see how quickly you organize your thoughts
    [03:08.03]and how well you communicate.
    [03:12.29]Someone who rambles a lot is on shaky ground.
    [03:17.56]Your answer also provides a glimpse of your character and interest.
    [03:24.33]Morsier recalled an episode about a lawyer being interviewed
    [03:31.38]for trial work with a large firm.
    [03:35.82]"She talked about a skiing medal she had won.
    [03:41.88]It showed she liked to win."
    [03:46.25]So she was given the position.
    [03:50.92]Another question that usually catches people off guard:
    [03:57.09]What is your weakness?
    [04:01.53]It's a most difficult question.
    [04:06.99]One shold always try to present a weakness in a positive light.
    [04:12.94]You might say:"One of my problems is that I'm a perfectionist.
    [04:19.11]It interferes with my personal life because I'm always taking work home."
    [04:26.19]Perhaps the most dangerous boody trap is the inquiry:
    [04:32.85]What do you think of your former boss or company?
    [04:37.89]"Never-bad-mouth anyone",advises Morsier.
    [04:44.45]If you were fired,
    [04:48.52]try to owe it to personality conflicts rather than to some other people.
    [04:56.18]But always stress that the conflicts didn't prevent you from doing your job well.
    [05:03.33]Be more careful about the presentation of your former boss.
    [05:10.70]It might be noted that"he helped me learn specific skills"
    [05:17.18]or "he was under a lot of pressures".
    [05:22.14]You might add,
    [05:25.69]"But I would have handled it differently and shown more compassion to the employees."
