Three quarters of people feel anxious about job interviews but one should bear in mind that this nervousness can make them lose the job before they get it. To impress an interviewer you may do:
find out about the job. Before the interview try to read a company annual report and press-release to show your enthusiasm for the job.
you could go to the company maybe a few days before the interview, talk to the receptionist, get a company newspaper – you can always pick up literature on the products maybe you’ll be involved in.
dress code. Interviewers don’t like candidates who don’t look smart. If you don’t know the dress code of a company you want to apply for, you should stick to a formal dress style.
CV (curriculum vitae). As CV provides the company with the first impression about a candidate, it should be well written, a badly written CV can turn out to be a missed opportunity to get a job, and which is ever important, it should be concise. That’s why try not to ramble. A CV should emphasize the most important information for the position you are seeking, that’s why highlight one or two top skills, leaving the rest for the interview.

Investing thousands of pounds in the recruitment and training of each new graduate recruit may be just the beginning. Choosing the wrong candidate may leave an organization paying for years to come. A great number of people don’t come up to expectations, that’s why the task of an interviewer is to see everything the candidate is capable of and not to hope that he will change much in the years to come.
The first point to bear in mind at the recruitment stage is that people don’t change. Intelligence levels decline modesthy, but change little over their working life. The same is true of abilities, such as learning languages and handling numbers. Such features of people’s characters as anxiety, low self-system don’t change during people’s lives.
But it should be born in mind that the best candidate is the candidate who will turn out to be a stedy performer. And there is always a danger to hire a person who doesn’t quite deliver, but you can’t do anything about it.
Key questions usually asked during the interview are as follows: What do you like most and least about your present job? What your strength and weaknesses are?
The interview is the talk, where doubts are expressed, questions are put and possible mistakes are eliminated. So during the interview you must do it all.

International trade it is a trade between the states and the country, it is a trade into international market. It is not easy to break into international market today. International trade is developing very fast. In developing countries free trade is growing deregulation, open borders, low customs tariffs are its characteristic features. At the same time both developed and especially, developing countries practice protectionism especially for infant or for strategic industries. Protectionism- the idea that a government should try to help an industries in its country by taxing foreign goods that compete with it, limiting the number that can be imported.
If you want break into international market, you should get prepared for it properly. First of all, you should carry out a through market survey. One must also comply with all export restrictions and regulations. If you want buyers to place orders with you, you should quote real prices and think over a system of discount. Think of the methods of payment it can be a LC (letter of credit), banker’s draft, bank transferee. Shipping terms are determined in Incoterms (International commercial terms). And of course, much depends on you negotiation skills.
Free trade it is absence of trading restrictions, liberalization of trade. There are no customs tariffs, customs procedure are simplified. Free trade is good but not for all, for the country-exporter free trade is good. Because it can make the goods without any problems. But for the country-importer free trade is bad, because people will buy import goods, and our country will lost there profits.
