A、Appearance. B、Attitude. C、Communication skills. D、Job skill qualifications. B细节题。根据文中四大板块所占比重分别是：attitude，40％；appearance，25％；c

Job-seeking skills research clearly proves that employers focus on four areas during an interview: 1)attitude, which counts approximately 40 percent; 2)appearance, 25 percent; 3)communication skills(verbal and nonverbal), 25 percent; and 4)job skill qualifications, 10 percent. Does this surprise you? When you analyze it, it shouldn’t.
    Remember, you are screened into the interview on the basis of your resume, cover letter, and application for employment, which outline your education, work experience, and qualifications for the job. The interview, which usually lasts from 20 to 40 minutes, does not provide adequate time for employers to evaluate this kind of background information. Employers request this data beforehand so that they may have the time necessary to read and review your background as it relates to the job, and to compare it with information submitted by other applicants.
    The employer’ s purpose for giving you an interview is to get to know you as a person. This is why your attitude is the most important determinant of your success in the interview. Likewise, your appearance is the very first thing the interviewer will evaluate—and first impressions do make lasting impressions. Of course, job skill qualifications also count during the interview, and it is your responsibility to make certain your qualifications for the job are clearly covered during the interview.
