1.What is important when being interviewed for a job? Information about the company, Personal appearance
    Another important aspect to consider would be your personal appearance.  In the majority of cases, your appearance is the employer’s first impression of you. Your first chance to impress your potential employer, let’s say.  As you should remember to your advantage, you’ve got only 30 seconds to leave a positive impression on someone, whether he is a customer or a potential employer.

% _( M! @7 h8 A! M    To begin with, knowledge of company procedures would be useful.  Most firms have their own specific sets of procedures that you, as a new staff member, should observe.  For instance, many enterprises do now allow the use of company email and internet service for personal purposes.  Other companies ban smoking on their premises.  Still others require certain staff to wear company uniforms.
    Last but not least, help from veteran staff is not a minor consideration either.  As we all know, colleagues’ assistance provide a supportive work environment, and therefore can also foster teamwork and cooperation in your job. On the other hand, not so helpful colleagues will cause frustration and reduce productivity.
