Positions in business.
Think about the ideal job you would like to have after graduation. Write a description of this job, and then prepare a resume for it. Assume any necessary information that would present a good case for yourself in applying for this position.
Before you prepare a personal resume, complete, in writing, the
following activities:
- Identify all relevant and appropriate information that you could include in the “Personal” section of your resume
- Provide all relevant and appropriate information that you could include in the “Education” section of your resume. Don’t forget any activities you have been involved in.
- Provide all relevant and appropriate information that you could include in the “work Experience” section of your resume. Don’t forget to supply dates, names of supervisors, work-related awards and honors, and job responsibilities.
- After you have listed all relevant and appropriate information, decide how you can best arrange it on the page with appropriate headings.
- Prepare a draft of your resume.
- Have some members of your class evaluate the rough draft of your resume; then prepare a final version.
7. Select a specific job for which you think you will be qualified, either now or at the time you graduate. Select this job from advertisements in the newspaper. Prepare your resume.
8. Take any resume that is in chronological format and put it in a functional format. Then find a resume that has been done in functional format, and put it in a chronological format. Do you see any advantages and disadvantages in changing one format to the other?
UNIT 6
JOB INTERVIEW
1. Read the text:
Most communication involved with the job search serves one purpose: to get an interview. Your cover letter attracts the attention of potential employers and encourages them to look at your resume. Your resume then generates enough interest to obtain an interview.
In the interview, you will prove your potential worth to the organization in a very different way. You’ll have to make a good impression. You’ll also have the chance to communicate precisely what you want to the decision makers who will be eventually hiring or not hiring you. Once you’ve reached the interview stage, the other communication becomes secondary. You now have to make a visible and personable impression.
There are many types of interviews in business today; traditional one-to-one interviews, panel interviews where one or more candidates are interviewed by a panel of interviewers and even a “deep-end” interview where applicants have to demonstrate how they can cope in actual business situations. Moreover, the atmosphere of an interview may vary from the informal to the formal and from the kindly to the hostile. The interviewers may take a friendly, neutral or even hostile approach. Fashions seem to change quite rapidly in interview techniques and the only rules that applicants should be aware of may be “Expect the unexpected” and “Be yourself!”
2.Answer the questions. Give your reasons:
ü What is an interview?
ü What types of interviews are mentioned in the text?
ü What is the difference between the types of interviews?
ü Do different interviewers use different interviewing techniques? Why?
ü What is a “deep-end” interview?
ü What are the rules an applicant should be aware of?
ü What is meant by “Expect the unexpected”?
ü What is meant by “Be yourself”?
ü Do they always use an interview when hiring staff in this country?
ü Is an interview a good method for hiring staff?
ü What can an interviewer find out while interviewing applicants?
ü What can an applicant show while being interviewed?
3. Read the text:
The structure of an interview
Understanding the structure that most employment interviews follow will help you prepare for the situations you’ll face. Employment interviews generally have four stages:
The interview will typically last for thirty minutes.
Remember that your interview begins when you enter the reception area of the company. Be on time or even 5 to 10 minutes early. Greet the receptionist pleasantly and respectfully. Then confidently and clearly state your name, that you have an appointment, and who you want to see. Don’t chew gum, smoke, or engage in other activities that would be inappropriate and even offensive.
The opening is the time for mutual preliminary assessment and turning to each other. Even the beginning small talk leaves an impression. Start with enthusiastic attitude and a smile, introduce yourself to the interviewer, and use a firm and confident handshake. This is equally important for men and women. Do not put any materials on the interviewer’s desk or act as though you are scanning the person’s desk. Your posture should be natural but professional.
As you settle into your seat and begin the small talk to start the interview, you can mention the surroundings or items you see in the room. Be observant; perhaps you can see something in the office that you can use for a brief conversation starter. For example, “I see by your diploma that you went to Utah State University.”
Eventually, the conversation will turn to questions about you. Your preparation in the three areas of achievement, skills, and knowledge will help you in this portion of the interview. Answer the questions directly and with some detail. Provide more then a yes or no response.
At some point during the interview, the interviewer will likely ask you for questions. Ask some intelligent questions, based on your research, about the company or job. Ask the interviewer to explain the major products or services the organization provides. Ask about working conditions. Although, you have interest in salary levels, discussion about them is a natural outgrowth of an offer. You are not at the stage yet where the company is making an offer. Similarly, you will not want to place too much emphasis on company benefits.
Observe nonverbal cues and be sensitive to the close. If the interviewer begins watching the clock or shows other signals of restlessness, then the interviewer shifts to stage 4. You and the interviewer are closing your interview. Don’t expect the immediate offer. As you close, shake hands confidently, thank the interviewer for his or her time, and end with a smile. You want your last impression to be strong and favorable. Ask when the company expects to reach a decision if the interviewer has not yet answered that question. Be sure to thank the receptionist on your way out.
Notes to the text:
Posture - поза - поза
Cue – намек - натяк
4. Answer the questions:
ü What kind of specific information can you include in your interview?
ü What are some reasons why a firm is likely to reject an applicant based on the interview?
ü What cues can you use to note the shift from one stage of an employment interview to the next?
ü What kind of questions an interviewer might ask an applicant during the interview?
ü What are some appropriate questions interviewees can ask during the job interview?
ü What are some inappropriate questions?

Registrar: Good afternoon, Dr. Rensky. Welcome to the conference.
Did you have a good trip?
Rensky: Very good, thank you.
Registrar: Let me see if everything is all right with your registration fee…
It’s OK. Here is your conference folder. It contains the
conference program, abstracts of the papers, your identification
badge, and some local maps.
Rensky: Oh, fine. Thank you. Are there any messages for me?
Registrar: No, there are none here. You might want to check with the
message centre in the Registration Hall over there. The bulletin
boards are identified by the name and registration number of the
participant.
Rensky: Thank you. I’ll have a look.
Registrar: Also I’d like to call your attention to the notice boards just
opposite the registration counter. All the information about
current changes in the program will be posted there.
Rensky: Thank you for the information. Good bye.
Registrar: Good bye, Dr. Rensky. Good luck to you.
