Preparing for interviews
When companies are recruiting1, they often have a set of criteria2 (e.g. three years of 
experience in the field, or a degree in a relevant area) which they use to find the most suitable 
candidates. If you are shortlisted3 for an interview, make sure you do your homework first: 
find out as much as you can about the company, its products, markets, competitors, etc. 
If you can, ask a friend to do a trial run4 with you. This will help boost5 your confidence.The
interview may be conducted by a panel [a group of people], probably including your
future line manager6. Don’t forget to make eye contact with all the interviewers while you are
talking.As you arrive for the interview, body language7 is important. Give a firm handshake
and speak up8. This will help to create a good first impression.
