The following talk lists some of these untruths and offers some tips to help you succeed at your next interview. The first my
34、th is that the aim of interviewing is to obtain the job you want. This is only half correct. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you like; and it also implies turning down the job offer you dont want. The reason for some job-seekers failure is that they become so used to meeting employ
35、ers expectations that they often take up the job they dont really want. The second one, to always please the interviewer is also not true. Instead of pleasing the interviewer, you should please yourself. Youll get nowhere if you try to give answers that will suit a potential employer without conside
36、ring your own feelings. Of course, dont be hostile nobody wants to hire someone disagreeable. Take the middle ground between being too a-greeable and being hostile. An effective interview is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your seatmate on an airplane. The next myth is to try to cont
37、rol the interview. Nobody “controls“ an interview, neither you nor the interviewer. Actually, it is an exchange of two parties like making a telephone call. So hang loose when interviewing: never dominate an interview. The fourth myth is never to interrupt the interviewer. An exciting conversation a
38、lways makes us feel free free to interrupt and show different opinions. So when interviewing, try to be relaxed and natural. The last myth, to not disagree with the interviewer is another silly myth. If you dont disagree at times, you consent in fact. Dont hesitate to disagree with your interviewer

How can we ensure a smooth transition? The following is an interview with an official from the loca
42、l telephone company, Collins Spencer. She is going to give us some detailed explanations about it. Ms. Spence, can you tell us why, how and when are the numbers changing!

47、 from anywhere in the country will be automatically connected to the new number at no extra charge. Then for a further 3 months, anyone who dials your old number will receive a recorded message advising them the change of your number. But how will people overseas call me ?
