PART A_2

1.	When being interviewed for a job, try to avoid using such words as “uhh…umm…” and “you know.” These words sound unprofessional and too colloquial.
2.	When you cannot understand what the interviewer has said, it is acceptable to ask him/her to repeat him/herself.
3.	During your introduction, it is standard to briefly describe your previous work experience.

A:	I thought we’d start with brief introductions. Could you tell me a little about yourself, please?
B:	Certainly. I’m originally from Osaka, Japan, and I’ve been a resident of San Diego for four years. I worked for three of those years at StratumCorps in the sales and marketing department. Prior to that, I served as interpreter for the World Trade Center.
A:	Great. And what appealed to you about the position at our company?
B:	I’m sorry. Could you say that again, please?
A:	Yes. What made you decide to apply for the sales position with our company?
