[00:09.30]Job Hunter
[00:12.25]Sinion had a cousin called Amy
[00:16.51]who had to leave school and get a job to support her family.
[00:21.97]She had loved shopping since she was a little girl,
[00:26.70]so she decided¹ to look for a job in a department store.
[00:31.74]She began her hunt at an office of the Labour Department's Careers Advisory² Service.
[00:39.18]Here she got two pamphlets³.
[00:42.84]'Choosing Your Career' told her how to apply for a job
[00:48.72]and what to do at an interview.
[00:52.66]'Department Stores' described the kinds of jobs available in these stores,
[00:59.64]the qualifications needed for them,
[01:03.58]the salaries,working hours and holidays,and training and prospects⁴.
[01:09.96]Amy's next step was to search the newspapers
[01:14.50]until she found a suitable vacancy  and write a letter of application.
[01:20.88]As a result,she was invited to an interview.
[01:25.42]She was delighted but like most applicants
[01:31.19]she got nervous when she thought about the interview.
[01:35.56]Fortunately,she knew what to do to build up her confidence.
[01:41.30]Before she went to the interview,she made two journeys.
[01:46.03]One was to a branch of the store.
[01:50.11]While she walked round it,
[01:53.35]she noted⁵ the things it sold how the staff behaved and the way they dressed.
[02:00.11]Information about the company that was going to interview her
[02:05.07]would come in handy later.
[02:08.60]After she visited the store, she made a second journey.
[02:13.93]This was from her home to the exact place of the interview
[02:18.89]so she knew how long she would need to get there.
[02:23.93]At all costs she had to be on time for the interview.
[02:28.79]As this day approached,
[02:32.14]she began to think about possible interview questions and to prepare her answers.
[02:38.51]'Choosing Your Career'
[02:42.17]helped her as it contained a list of interview questions.
[02:47.03]Some were difficult to answer as they made her examine her character
[02:52.67]ambitions, strengths and weaknesses.
[02:56.82]The job advertisement also suggested possible questions.
[03:02.44]For example,how could she prove that she had 'initiative'?
[03:07.90]On the day of the interview,
[03:11.27]since she wanted to make a good first impressionon the interviewer,
[03:16.31]she dressed to look her best.
[03:19.78]In fact,she chose clothes similar in style to those she had seen the staff in the store wearing.
[03:27.54]She arrived for the interview about ten minutes early
[03:32.90]and when she wascalled walked confidently into the interview room.
[03:39.25] As she entered,she responded pleasantly to the interviewer's greeting
[03:45.12]and after she was invited sat down ready to begin.
[03:50.37]She was still nervous but,at the same time confident.
[03:55.62]She was sure that she would do well,
[03:59.70]because she had prepared for the interview thoroughly⁶.
