Tips for Interview – полезные советы для прохождения интервью при приеме на работу

1. Appearance counts. When you look good, you feel good. Make sure you look groomed and neat. If you were a book, would someone want to read more?

Appearance counts (Внешний вид важен (имеет значение). Это – употребимый и весомый оборот, где может стоять любое слово, а за ним глагол count или matter.

Good manners matter. – Хорошие манеры – это важно.

groomed and neat – ухоженный и аккуратный

2. Your clothes and accessories should be conservative and neutral, rather than wild and loud. Your clothes are your packaging and should not take attention away from the product.

3. Nonverbal communication sometimes conveys a stronger message than verbal communication. When you slouch, whether sitting or standing, you're saying volumes about you and your confidence level. Sit up straight – like your mother always told you to. When you stand, make yourself as tall as possible: shoulders back and head held high.

nonverbal communication – есть еще термин попроще – body language

to convey – передавать; выражать

words fail to convey my feelings – нет слов, чтобы выразить мои чувства

conveys a stronger message – выражает более важную идею

slouch – сутулиться

saying volumes – saying a lot

???? Eye contact and smiles can indicate a confident and upbeat attitude. You will notice that many job postings ask for enthusiasm and energy. This is a good opportunity to demonstrate your social and interpersonal skills as well as your excitement about the opportunity for which you're interviewing.

upbeat– оптимистический

job postings – объявления о работе. Глагол post:

объявлять; вывешивать. To post a reward – объявлять награду, премию.

держать в курсе. I’ll keep you posted – Я буду держать вас в курсе.

5. The handshake sends a strong tactile message. Whether your hands are hot and sweaty or cold and clammy, you can try some tricks to control the temperature. To cool your hands, try running cold water on the insides of your wrists. Use hot water if your hands are cool. If you have particularly sweaty hands, try using a deodorant gel (antiperspirant) as a lotion.

clammy – скользкий (от слова clam – моллюск)

6. Your voice and the volume of your speech convey a strong impression. Whether the interview's over the phone or face-to-face, you should speak with enthusiasm and energy. Use a firm voice to demonstrate your confidence.

7. Your vocabulary reveals your communication skills and ability to interact with people, especially ones you've not met before. The words you choose will say something about you, as well as your knowledge of the industry. It is important to use «their» words and talk «their» talk.

communication skills – умение общаться (очень важный термин).
