Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they n ervous? Do they spe nd a lot of time fiddli ng with their han ds, brush ing their hair back, holdi ng their pen, tapp ing it on the table? Obviously every one is n ervous at in terview and you make allowa nces for that, but if it con ti nues throughout the whole in terview the n you have to ask yourself what will they be like in a no rmal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye con tact? Because if they won 'look at you in a job which depends on making a good impression, then probably in the job they won ' do very well in terms of mak ing con tact and hav ing good relati ons with other colleagues. The sort of pers on no rmally we would look for would be some one who was, ope n, outgo ing, en thusiastic and who could talk in tellige ntly about what they had done and what they hoped to do. That does n 'tmea n that they have to have had a lot of experie nee but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experience they've had.The other kinds of thi ngs that we might talk about in an in terview of course are what the person expects to get from a new job, and I think that it is important because it shows the expectati ons that the pers on has-what they want from their job. It 'sin teresti ng to hear why people want to cha ngejobs.B... But as importa nt as qualificati ons are, and you won 'get to an in terview or at least people won' get to an in terview without the qualificati ons, the most importa nt thing in fact is the character and how a pers on prese nts themselves at in terview. I find it very difficult to defi ne exactly the sort of pers on I am look ing for, but whe n I meet some one I can tell whether they are the sort of pers on that I would like to appo int or whether they are not.At in terview the first thing that I no tice is how the pers on settles dow n, whe n they sit dow n. Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they n ervous? Um, do they spe nd a lot of time fiddli ng with their han ds, brush ing their hair back, er holdi ng their pen, tapp ing it on the table? Obviously every one is n ervous at in terview and you make allowa nces for that, but if it con ti nues throughout the whole in terview the n of course you have to ask yourself if they 're like this after, say, an hour of in terview, what will they be like in a no rmal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye con tact? Because if they won 'look at you in a job where in, in a situation where a job depends on, on them making a good impressi on, the n probably in the job they won 'do very well in terms of making, er, good, making con tact with other colleagues, making, havi ng good relati ons with other colleagues. The sort of pers on n ormally we would look for would be some one who was, ope n, outgo ing, en thusiastic and who could talk in tellige ntly about what they had done and what they hoped to do. That does n'mea n that they have to have had a lot of experie nee but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experienee they v e had.The other kinds of, of um things that we might talk about in an in terview of course are what, er what the pers on expects to get from a new job in a new coun try, and that I think is importa nt because it shows the expectati ons that the pers on has ——what they want from their job. Um it 's interesting to hear why people want to change jobs, why they want to go to a new country. Part V Who 'l Get the Job?(Ja ne Lan gley is being in terviewed by Mrs. Grey, the Personnel Man ager, and Mr. Toms.) Mr. Toms: Yes, I see. Good. Good.Mrs. Grey: Miss Lan gley, I see that your last employer, Mr. Carmichaes, described you as con scie ntious”.Do you thi nk you are?Jane: Well, I certa inly try to be. I have a set rout ine for the day in the office which means that I know exactly all the jobs that I have to do. And if conscientious means being exrtemely careful and paying attention to detail, then yes, I suppose I 'm conscientious.Mr. Toms: But he said too that you could adapt quickly to change 'Did you leave because they were making cha nges, or what?Jane: No, not at all. They made a lot of cha nges while I was there. I 'm afraid I became un happy because I wan ted someth ing more challe nging.Mrs. Grey: I assume you wan ted someth ing like the job of Senior Secretary that we 're offeri ng. Jane: Yes, that's right.(Michael James is being in terviewed now by the same two people.)Mrs. Grey: ...a nd accord ing to your last employer, Mr. Smith, you tend to be a little impatie nt at times'.Michael: Well, perhaps I am, perhaps I'm not. Some of the others in the office there were so slow! Mr.Toms: Yes, yes. I like a person who wants to get on with the job.Mrs. Grey: Mr. James, what I'd like to know is ...Mr. Toms: Excuse me, Mrs. Grey, but I wan ted to ask Mr. James about his sport. You 're a kee n footballer, I un dersta nd.Michael: Oh, yes. I play regularly twice a week. And I organised a team at my old place.Mr. Toms: And golf, too, I gather.Michael: Yes. Actually, I like golf better than football really. That' why I play nearly every morni ng ...(Mrs. Grey and Mr. Toms are now discuss ing Jane and Michael after the in terviews.)Mrs. Grey: ... so in my view, whe n you compare the two of them —and this has nothing to do with Jane being a woma n —I' give the job to Jane Lan gley. She's obviously a better secretary tha n he is, she'a much better typist, she mixes better with people and is clearly far more polite. We don 'even need to discuss Mr. James.Mr. Toms: Well, we do, because I think he ' brighter tha n Miss Lan gley. I know he does n 'dress as well or speak as clearly, and he ' not as experieneed as she is, but he's quicker, more alert. And he 'keen on football and golf. I like that. So he gets the job.Mrs. Grey: No, I'm sorry, Mr. Toms. He doesn 'Mr. Toms : Yes, he does, Mrs. Grey. He's the Director 'nephew.。
