- Ask questions to bond with the interviewer and project your enthusiasm.
Inquire about his/her position and background or how long (s) he has been
with the company.
- Ask questions about what is discussed during the interview itself. Though
you may be tempted to respond to everything with an “Absolutely!” or a
“Sure thing!” to show how competent you are, this will actually make it look
like you’re not listening. Show that you are paying attention by asking for
more details whenever something isn’t clear. (Avoid asking questions for the
sake of asking, though, or it’ll seem like you can’t keep up.)

TEXT C. THE DAY OF THE INTERVIEW10
1. Dress – for – work. In any workplace, your wardrobe is a sign of your
professionalism and is sometimes used to gauge your level of competence.
When your co-workers and customers look at you, they should immediately
feel comfortable working with you. It's easy to rule yourself out of a job just
because you didn't take care of your appearance. As a rule of thumb, you
10
http://m.wikihow.com/Dress-for-an-Interview.
32
should dress for the interview the way you would for the job itself. If the job is
unusually casual, however, you might want to show up in business-casual
clothes, but it's always better to be formal. Both men and women should choose
subdued colours (blues, browns, greys, black), which make a professional
impression. Make sure that your clothes are lint and wrinkle free. Avoid
wearing perfume, after-shave, or scented lotion (but do wear deodorant).
2. Show up in the best possible shape. Make sure you know exactly
how to get there and, if you drive, just where to park so that you can arrive 15
to 20 minutes before the scheduled interview time. Go to bed early the day
(or the days) before the interview so that you look rested and healthy on the
big day. Bring an extra copy of your resume, CV, in case your interviewer
wants to go over any points with you or neglects to bring their own copy.
If the interview is in the morning, be sure to eat a healthy breakfast.
This is not just an empty suggestion. A breakfast high in antioxidants, omega3 fatty acids, and foods high in vitamin E, such as nuts and seeds, will help
improve brain function and leave you feeling more alert and invigorated.
3. Show courtesies to everyone during the interview. This means
everyone from the reception staff to the interviewer. You never know who
has input in the hiring process, and you can only make a first impression
once. Look everyone in the eye and smile. Looking people in the eye will
telegraph alertness, and smiling will signal friendliness. Speak clearly and say
“please” and “thank you.” Make sure the people you talk to during the
interview can make out what you're saying. Talking audibly, with good
articulation, tells people you're confident, while good manners tell them
you're considerate of other people. Don't noodle around on your phone or
electronic device while waiting. In fact, leave it in your car. Even though it's
practically acceptable, playing around on your phone can communicate
boredom and frivolousness (even if that's not the case). Stick with a book or
review your notes while waiting.
4. Keep things simple and short. Talking about yourself can be very
difficult to do well: You're trying to convince someone you don't know that
you're qualified for a position without sounding too cocky or pompous. Stick to
what you know well, and keep things short and sweet. Structure your answers
so that you're talking in 30-90 second chunks. Any less and you're likely to
seem unqualified; any more and your interviewer is likely to lose interest in
what you're saying. In the “tell me about yourself” question, highlight 2-3
illustrative examples about yourself before wrapping up. Talk about what other
people think you do well. Don't add the preamble, “My friends think I'm a
competent social organizer.” Just go out and say it with the right touch of
33
confidence and humility. Women tend to underestimate their overall job
performance, so be aware of that before you second-guess or undercut yourself,
because it's unlikely to get you a job.

стать специалистом в этой области?
– Чтобы быть хорошим специалистом необходимы такие качества,
как терпение, усидчивость, стремление к самообразованию и
умение анализировать.
– Где Вы видите плоды Вашего труда?
– В современном мире плоды моего труда видны везде: все упаковки в
основном из полимеров, теплицы – поликарбонат, дома разноцветные
красивые, обшитые полимерным сайдингом.
35
– Хотели бы Вы усовершенствовать свою работу?
– Очень хочется, чтобы в моей работе было побольше замкнутых
комплексов, т.е. производство полимеров, здесь переработка
полимеров, полимерных отходов и вновь их использование.
– Хотели бы Вы сменить свою работу?
– Свою такую хорошую работу, я ни в коем случае не хочу менять,
ведь это одна из самых востребованных профессий. Я до сих пор
уверена, что за полимерными материалами, будущее в химии.
– Легко ли Вам работать в своей профессии?
– Бывает очень сложно, моя профессия – переработка полимеров – это
всегда связано с работой сложных устройств, оборудования, это и
механика, это и электроника, и все, конечно, нужно знать.
– Требует ли Ваша профессия дополнительных знаний?
– Моя профессия и моя должность требуют постоянного повышения
уровня знаний, что я и делаю.

TEXT D. AFTER THE INTERVIEW12
1. Shake hands with the interviewer and exchange pleasantries. Try
to invest some feeling into the handshake and pleasantries, even if you think
you bombed the interview. The interviewer should give you a time frame for
when to expect to get a call back, if applicable. Hold your head high and be

view.
36
cool. Your emotions are probably teetering at the highest of highs or the
lowest of lows, but try to stay measured. Project a cool confidence – not
cockiness – and walk out of the interview with your head held high. If the
interviewer does not tell you when they will contact you if you're a good fit
for the position, it's appropriate to ask, “When can I expect to hear back from
you about the position?” This will prove important later on.
2. Send a thank-you letter to your interviewer and/or liaison. Now is a
good time to thank the person you interviewed with, even if it's just a formality.
You can say something like: “Dear [interviewer's name], Thank you for the
opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you. I remain very impressed by
[interviewer's company], and invite you to contact me if you have any further
questions. I look forward to hearing from you about this position.”
If you missed any important points in your interview you wanted to
stress, you may include one or two in the thank-you letter. Keep the points
brief, and tie them into a discussion point that you or the interviewer made
during the interview.
If you received any help in getting the interview, follow up with
appropriate parts of your network. Inform them that you received an
interview, are grateful they helped you in your career search, and would be
eager to help them in the future.
3. Follow up with the interviewer at the appropriate time. You should
have received some information about when you could expect to hear back
from the employer. The standard time is about two weeks, but it can depend. If
you've waited past the designated call back date – or the call back date wasn't
set and it's been two weeks – follow up with the interviewer in a short email.
You can say something like: “Dear [interviewer's name], I interviewed at your
company [at such and such date], and am still interested in the position if it
hasn't yet been filled. I'd greatly appreciate any information you might have
about my candidacy. I look forward to hearing from you.” While you can't
control your past experience or the way someone measures you against
someone else, you can control how much of your time you dedicate to showing
the interviewer you really want the position. Don't be needy, and don't be
greedy, but be persistent and courteous. You'll work harder than at least half the
other candidates, and it could be the decisive factor in getting a job offer.
25. Discussion.
Is it possible to become a specialist in any narrow field without the broad
knowledge of the subject?

CONSOLIDATION ONE
1. Translate the following sentences into English.
1) Chemistry graduates will be in demand over the next decade in chemical
manufacturing and processing industries such as pharmaceuticals,
agrochemicals, fine chemicals, metals, polymers, electricity, steel, mining
and petroleum.
2) Career opportunities can be found in analytical and quality control
laboratories as environmental and analytical or forensic chemists, in
universities, scientific institutes, government or private sector laboratories
as research chemists, and in secondary or tertiary institutions as teachers.
Diverse roles in private companies, local councils, state and federal
government regulatory authorities and hospitals are other possibilities.
3) Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, and how it changes. An
understanding of chemical principles is required to fully understand
most scientific disciplines such as biology, medicine, physics,
environmental science, geology, materials science, pharmaceuticals,
agriculture, forensic science, most branches of engineering, and even
studio art. Chemists not only study molecules that nature provides but
also synthesize new molecules to be used in many of these fields.
4) Chemistry is central to all areas of modern science and technology,
providing a foundation for fields such as biochemistry, green chemistry,
chemical engineering, food science, materials science, geology,
nanotechnology and pharmacology.
5) Do you want to be part of the major advances that are being made in
medicine, nanotechnology, new materials and the environment? You
will develop an understanding of the mechanisms, reactions and
processes that occur at the molecular level. You will study the elements
that make up all matter, and how they interact with each other to
construct living organisms, transmit power from the sun, produce
minerals and fuel environmental processes.
2. Check if you remember the following verbs from the previous Units.

5. Read the following information13 about recruitment procedures
and complete the following sentences with the right word or phrase.
A. Recruitment. The process of finding people for particular jobs is
recruitment or, especially in Am. English, hiring. Someone who has been
recruited is a recruit or, in Am. English, a hire. The company employs or
hires them; they join the company. A company may recruit employees
directly or use outside recruiters, recruitment agencies or employment
agencies. Outside specialists called head-hunters may be called on to
headhunt people for very important jobs, persuading them to leave the
organizations they already work for. This process is called headhunting.
B. Applying for a job. Fred is a chemical engineer, but he was fed up with
experiments. He looked in the situations vacant pages of his local newspaper,
where a local university was advertising for tutors for a new department. He
applied for the job by completing an application form and sending it in.
Harry is an engineer. He saw a job in the appointment pages of one of
the national papers. He made an application, sending in his CV (curriculum
vitae – the “story” of his working life) and a covering letter explaining why
he wanted the job and why he was the right person for it.

C. Selection procedures. Dagmar Schmidt is the head of recruitment at
a German biochemichal company. She talks about the selection process, the
methods that the company uses to recruit people: “We advertise in national
newspapers. We look at the backgrounds of applicants: their experience of
different jobs and their educational qualifications. We don’t ask for
handwritten letters of application as people usually apply by email;
handwriting analysis belongs to the 19
th
century. We invite the most
interesting candidates to a group discussion. Then we have individual
interviews with each candidate. We also ask the candidates to do written
psychological tests to assess their intelligence and personality.
After this we shortlist three or four candidates. We check their
references by writing to their referees: previous employers or teachers that
candidates have named in their applications. If the references are OK, we
ask the candidates to come back for more interviews. Finally, we offer the
job to someone, and if they turn it down we have to think again. If they
accept it, we hire them. We only appoint someone if we find the right
person.
1) I hope she ________, because if she ________ the job, we’ll have to
start looking again.
2) That last applicant was very strong, but I understand he’s had two other
_________ already.
3) They’ve finally ________ a new receptionist.
4) I phoned to check on my application, but they said they’d already
________ someone.
5) This job is so important; I think we need to ________ someone.
6) Computer programmers wanted. Only those with UNIX experience
should ________ .
7) The selection process has lasted three months, but we’re going to
________ someone next week.
6. Replace the underlined words and word combinations with the
expressions from the previous exercise.
1) Mark had already refused two job offers when he went for a
discussion to see if he was suitable for the job. They looked at his driving
licence and contacted previous employers Mark had mentioned in his
application. A few days later, they asked him if he would like the job and
Mark said yes.
