Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.?
(A)
When having an interview, it’s not just words you have to think about, but also how you express them. Avoid a flat monotone(單調(diào)的) voice that people sometimes get when they are nervous. And it can add so much if you show your excitement and your eagerness to work for that company, and that is where past performance will indicate future performance. So good interviewers will ask you very detailed questions where they’ll put you on the spot and they’ll want to know specifically your role in what you did for a particular project. And so the key to giving a good answer to a behavioral interview question is to do what I call a STAR, S-T-A-R. The S and T stand for explaining a situation or a task that you were given, the A is the action you took and the R is the results.
In addition, you need to be prepared before you walk in the door. Go through some mock interviews, if you can have friends ask you questions. Practice in the mirror, answering questions. Go in with three or four things you really want to stress about yourself. And then you can bring those out no matter what question is asked.
To follow up after the interview, you can send a thank-you letter. And you can do it by e-mail. In that thank-you letter you do a couple of things. You make sure that you show sincere appreciation for the time that they spent interviewing you. You have another chance to make that case as to how your skills match their needs.
65. What should you think about when having an interview?
A. How to express what you want to say.
B. How to use a flat monotone voice.
