What else is important for a job interview? What can create the first impression about you?

- how you look

- how you behave

- how you are prepared (don’t panic, try to relax, breathing out will help? Try to create a positive state of mind)

- how you answer the questions

I want you to watch the video once again. It’s a video guide on Dos and Don’ts. You work in two groups again and this time the first group should write only DOS and the second only DON’TS – in other words what we SHOULD DO and SHOULDN”T DO preparing for the interview and during it.

(ученики работаю в группах, и составляют во время просмотра видео 2 списка - ЗА и ПРОТИВ).

Now you are welcome to present your lists of advice you’ve heard and watched.

I want you remember this list of possible mistakes and be aware of not making them at your first job interview.
