work was thorough and very ac-
curate, and both asked me to re-
turn to the job following sum-
mer." Score one for frankness and
three for responsibility, accuracy
and giving satisfaction in prev-
ious jobs.
Be ready to give an answer to
the question, "What do you plan
to be doing ten years from now?"
It's a favorite. A popular alterna-
tive question is "How much mon-
ey do you expect to be earning in
ten years?" The purpose is to de-
termine your ambition, ability to
plan ahead, and the soundness of
your thinking. Do you want, va-
guely, "to get ahead?" Or are you
going somewhere in particular?
Never make a slighting refer-
ence about a former employer or
a professor. If something went
wrong, suggest that at least some
of the blame must have been your
own.
Conduct yourself as if you are
determined to get the job you
are discussing. You have other
irons in the fire, of course, and
the recruiter is aware of that.
But he wants to think that you
want a job with his company. If
you play coy nobody may take
you.
He may steer the conversation
into politics or economics. This
can be a ticklish situation. Hard-
any recruiter will ask which poli-
tical party you prefer. Rather, he
is likely to try to sound out your
overall economic philosophy. Dif-
ferences of opinion are a part of
our heritage of freedom. But the
job interview is no place for a
political speech. Be honest, of
course, in what you say, and don't
be evasive. However, at least in
this one instance, try not to say
more than is necessary to ans-
wer the recruiter's broad line of'
questioning. If you can agree in
general with him, fine. If you
stray off into talking about your
pet enthusiasms you may hang
yourself in the particular.
Try to avoid giving the im-
pression, if you possibly can, that
you have come in to look over
the possibilities, and that you are
not yet sure what you want. Don't
say, "I'll do anything if I'm given
the chance to learn," or "I don't
know what I want to do-I hope
you can suggest something."
Wherever possible, apply for a
specific job or field of work. If
there is no opening in the line
you suggest, the way you present
what you have to offer may well
lead the interviewer to suggest
another job or department, per-
haps even better than the one
you were seeking. For this reason
it is not advisable to get too far
out on a limb by saying you will
not consider anything but one
certain job.
If the courses you took have
not led you into preparation for
a specific field of work, don't on
that account, pass up chances for
interviews. But research on a
company will better help you pre-
sent your broad qualifications in
the light of the company's-needs.
If the company has a training
program, you will naturally want
to express interest in it.
Show the interviewer that you
are interested, that you appreci-
ate the opportunity he is giving
you to present your case, and
that you realize the demands on
his time.
Ask some definite questions
about the company. Don't ask so
many that the recruiter thinks
you are afraid of work or are
hesitating at the thought of join-

ing his company. But do show
your interest. Have in mind two
or three questions you want to
ask about the company before
you report for the interview. Also
keep in mind two or three good
reasons why you are interested
in this particular employer. The
chances are excellent that you
will be asked for your reasons.
Stick to the subject at hand.
Don't let yourself wander away
on a tangent because you like
the sound of your own voice. ,
If you are asked if you've ever
been fired-and you have been-
frankness again is the answer.
Tell him you've learned from
your mistakes. Also, there is the
possibility you got into a wrong
job through a misunderstanding.
If you get the impression that
the interview is not going well
and that you have already been
rejected, don't let your discour-
agement show. You have nothing
to lose by continuing the appear-
ance of confidence, and you may
gain much. The last few minutes
often change things. Once in a
great while an interviewer who
is genuinely interested in your
possibilities may seem to discour-
age you in order to test your re-
action. If you remain confident
and determined you have prob-
ably made a good impression.
Don't take notes in an inter-
view if you can help it. This is
annoying and distracting to some
recruiters. If you feel that you
must write something down,
make some remark such as:
"That's very interesting. Do you
mind if I make a note of it?" The
best policy is to note on paper
immediately after the interview
everything you want to be sure
to remember.
If you are given application
forms be certain that they are
filled out completely and neatly.
A messy application form can
create as bad an impression as
personal untidiness.
What if you so impress the in-
terviewer, or his company is in
such need of recruits, that he
offers you a job on the spot? If
you are absolutely sure it is the
one you want, accept with a defi-
nite yet. If you have the slightest
doubt-if you do not want to
accept without further thought
(or further interviews), play for
time. You must not embarrass
the person who has made you
the offer. Be courteous and tact-
ful in asking for time to think it
over. Try to set a definite date
when you can provide an answer.
This will reassure him that you
are giving his offer serious con-
sideration. Above all, don't create
the impression that you are play-
,rng one company off against the
other to drive up the bidding.
As further evidence of your
interest, you may have the op-
portunity to arrange a trip to the
