So you have been called for an interview-well done ? Your effort has been paid off . Now to get the job , you will fell better at the interview if you show an understanding of the nature of the organization .

Ask a member of family or a friend to act as the employer and to give you an unreal interview . Be as realistic as possible , answer the questions seriously . Afterwards discuss how it went .

Think about how the employer would prefer to see you look . Remember the majority of employers are over 30 .

It is not wise to rush out and buy new clothes which will be worn for the first time at the interview . You’ll feel more at ease (自在) in a familiar dress .

Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job . Arrive at least 15 minutes before time . This will give you a chance to have a look around , read the notice broad and get the feel of the place .

Being late at interviews produces a bad impression. The first impression the interviewer gets of you formed as you walk through the door , so take a couple of deep breaths .

Be ready to shake hands of the interviewer offers .

Don’t take a seat until asked . Then sit comfortably .

Make eye contact when you are greeted and again if you shake hands , and during questioning . Eye contact is a form of non-verbal(非语言的) greeting .

Remember the interviewer’s name and use it from time to time .

Be ready for the question “Is there anything you want to ask?” Before the interview you should get ready for two or three such questions. Look on these not just as a chance to get information but as a means to improve your prospects (前途)in the employer’s estimation(判断). 

Asking can show knowledge and avoid mistakes even before you begin . You can check on these later , when the hope for job is offered . 

And if you fail , look upon the interview as an experience in itself , learn from it .

We wish you good luck and good job hunting .

The lights dimmed，the musical hall grew quiet and out walked the conductor (指挥) shiny and white and 4 feet and 3 inches tall.

ASIMO, a robot designed by Honda Motor Co., met its latest challenge Tuesday evening: Conducting the Detroit Symphony (底特律交响乐团), in a performance of “The Impossible  Dream” from “Man of La Mancha”．

“Hello, everyone，” ASIMO said to the audience in a childlike voice, then waved to the orchestra. As it conducted, it perfectly mimicked (模仿) the actions of a conductor,

nodding its head at various sections and gesturing with one or both hands. ASIMO took a final bow to excited shouts from the audience. Later, cellist Yo－Yo Ma joined ASIMO onstage to receive an award for his efforts in music education.

Honda spokeswoman Alicia Jones says it is the first time ASIMO has conducted an orchestra, and it may be the first time any robot has conducted a live performance. But ASIMO has its  limits. ASIMO's engineers programmed the robot to mimic Charles Burke, the Detroit Symphony's education director, as he conducted the piece in front of a pianist about six months ago. But it can't respond to the musicians.

“It's not a communicative device. It simply is programmed to do a set of gestures，” said Leonard Slatkin, the orchestra's musical director. “If the orchestra decides to go faster, there's nothing the robot can do about it. Hopefully, I keep that under control.”

But several musicians also said ASIMO was more realistic than they expected. “The movements are still a little stiff (僵硬的), but very humanlike, much better than I thought，” Hutchinson said.
