job interview

On the last meeting in English for Office Administrasion, I learned about job interview. What are the things that should we prepare before interview, what are the things needed to build and develop our answer, and how do the well interview. I think it’s useful for you who wants to get a job. So, I try to write down what I have learned on the subject to spread my knowledge about it.

Job interview is a formal meeting between the candidate and prospective employers wherein the employer seeks to find out the candidate’s suitability for a post through questions and answers. There are 3 stages for the candidate to prepare:

g.       Find out the interview location

h.      Prepare your clothes etc
