M：Thank you for your impressive introduction，Ms．Winston．Let’s come to our topic of today．You might have all dreaded interviews．They could be so nerve-wracking and you wonder what kind of preparation is really needed．In our seminar today．I’m going to share with you some tips for prepar-ing for an interview．You all know that if you have reached the interview stage，your CV and letter of application must have been impressive!But there is still more work to do if you want to get that job!So the first thing to note is to make sure you have researched the company as thoroughly as possi-ble—you could use the Internet，company reports，recruitment literature etc．Always remind yourself of why you applied to this company．Then you could make a list of the skills and experiences you can offer the organization．After that．try to predict the questions you will be expected to answer-i-magine you are the interviewer!It’s always a good idea to try to predict what questions you will get asked in an interview and prepare some answers before you go in．
   Last but not least．trust this—‘appearance does matter’．Actually how you look and behave at an interview can sometimes be even more imporant than what you say!There are lots of things you can do to make a good impression on interviewers．Make sure your clothes are clean，but don’t wear obvious logos or designer names．
   Well，we’ll focus on some real life examples to strengthen your understanding of the above tips… (voice fades away)
