  1. I couldn't open the second movie. From the first movie, I keep in mind the idea of the importance of body language, considering that 80 per cent of communication is non-verbal.

  2. In my opinion all 12 are a MUST when going to an interview but the one that I remember is "sell yourself", I think that knowing how to present yourself as a valuable asset to the company is a huge advantage.

  5. A question for all of you who answered these questions about the job interview:

    Which way did you like better:
    to learn about the interview in class through discussions or to listen to videos? Which was more memorable?

  6. In my opinion all are important that is why they are TIPS.

  7. I believe that,by listening the videos I can learn much better.

  8. In my opinion i learned from both but i found that learning from videos from my home, without anykind of distractions is better.

  9. Well,in my opinion all 12 tips all crucial and decisive.The most important things is to be prepared and informed and the rest like body language,questions,dressing and so on are part of the good manners.If you are a good mannered gentleman or lady you shouldn`t have problems to make a good impression at a interview.

  10. For me the video watching and implicitly listening was more memorable and as I sad in my first intervention on this blog,I think that it is a great idee the education on computer because it is fun.

  11. Firstly, all 12 things are important, and I believe that it is very important to know about the company and ask a lot of questions because in this way, the interviewer will see that you are realy interested in getting that job. And, secondly "don't waffle" and be carefull of your body language because the interviewer can easaly recognise a person that is not well prepared in getting the job.

  12. My opinion is, that the most important thing what you have to do in an interview is the eye contacts, because if you look deep inside the eyes of your future boss, that can means you are brave, and you are able to resolve difficul tasks too.

  13. Is very important thing what you have to do in an interview is responsability and seriousness.
    In my opinion all are important.

    ReplyDelete
  14. A very important thing on an interview is your aspect, how you look, how you are dressed. This is important, because this makes the first impression about you. The second very important thing is to be relaxed, to smile, and be nice with people. After this two things your professional knowlegdge is very important to, and of course the way you behave. You have to adjust your style to the interviewators style.

  15. In my opinion a job interview is for more advanced students because the person who wants to give you the job wants you to be prepared. You have to know what you are expected to do.....in other words you have to be prepared.

  16. I agree with Adrian90, you cannot separate the12 rules, it will be wrong to do this thing and the success of the interview will disappear. I think that if one of these rules is missing it will not be a job interview; it will be rather a coffee meeting

  17. In my opinion the most important thing from the interview is looking good and smart, not necesarrily elegant but having a positive attitude. To be determined and not to speak about other things.Evidently you should prepare,know your cv and what you want. You shouldn't be scared and be open to new things.
    Finally,but not less important, is having an eye-contact, good body language, and hand-shake (women also should shake hands)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think one of the importants things on the interview is to be punctuality.Than you have to ask questions to the interviewer,and the body language is very important,because 80% from the conversation is non-verbal.And than end with a smile.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think both are important but I find it easier in the class to follow that online. Online education is the future, clearly but then what will teachers do if everything can be learned on a PC.
    The are live classes streamed online, we could all stay at home in PJ's, eat pizza and take notes on biomechanics. lol

    ReplyDelete
  20. From the job interview I remember mainly the hand shake, it was funny. Other that that it was educational and maybe some day it will help me, when I will have my first job interview.

    ReplyDelete
  21. The 12 tips are very decisive for an interview.My opinion is that if you understand these tips and know how to address them will have a successful interview.Body language,facial expressions you have when you talk to an interview is important and matters a lot.Interviewer he realizez if you tell the truth or if you interest in the work place by your reaction and knowledge you have.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I couldn't open the second film.But from the first film,I keep in mind the importance of punctuality,body language,punctuality,know your CV

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think that all 12 rules are important and we can not separe because than the interview will not have success. The most important thing is the punctuality and eyes contact.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I watched the first video, because I couldn't open the second. My opinion is, that these tips are very useful, but for a successful interview we need more than twelve tips. In any case, when we go to an interview we should be prepared, so these are very helpful.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I belive both are instructive but i prefer the lessons in the class because just speaking we can improuve our english. Talking we can change imprssions and more opinions.

    ReplyDelete
  26. In my opinion, all tips are very important. In an interviev is important how you are dressed, your aspect. But just as important is punctuality, respect, must know how to talk and to know when to listen.

    ReplyDelete
  27. In my opinion the most important things are punctuality, to trust you. Is important to know what to answer questions.
    Finally I think you should be prepared to the interview.

  28. Sss,
    I agree with you but only if students were speaking in class and not the teacher!
    Think about how many opinions you have changed in class and how many here... what's the result?

    ReplyDelete
  29. In my opinion,every detail is important,because if you think well,all depends on your future job.
    It's very important to now what you have to do:how do you speaking about your self and last bu not least we have to keep in mind that first impression is what matter!

  30. I couldn't open the second sow I opened the first one ,I think that all of the tips are good I liked the first one "Be smart suited and booted ,if you feel good you look good dress for success" I think this is the best because you can't show up at an interview in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt because they wouldn't even lett you in looking like that

    ReplyDelete
  31. In my opinion all 12 tips are very important, they can't be separated. I can also say it's important, 13th tip, that you turn off your mobile during the interview.
    About the second video, i couldn't watch it, or the link doesn't work anymore. In class most of the time the teacher is talking, because the students english knoledge level is different, some of them are not joined to this blogspot. I have a question, how can i change my number of completed tasks in the yahoo group database?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Wow, all 12 rules are required if you want to go to an interview. All those TIPS have the same importance, but for me, more important is to be yourself and to stay relaxed. If you have too many emotions and you are stressed you can not be able to answer the key questions of the interviewer. So, in my opinion, if you want to have a successful interview make shure that you are very good prepared, because you have to prove to the interviewer that you are made for that job.

  33. For the moment, absolutely here.
    But, if i can make a sugestion: making for example 2 or 3 group of students from the first year,with the same level of english knowledge would be a solution . Excuse me for daring.

    ReplyDelete
  34. My opinion is that all this things are important. At a job interview you have to be dressed properly,you have to be punctual, to know your CV so you can respond with the same things you wrote in the CV about yourself.You also have to pay attention to the handshake and too al those things from the video because every little move you make during the interview is important.

    ReplyDelete
  35. In my opinion all tips are important, but in my mind remained "be smart", "eye contact", "sell yourself", "body language" and "punctuality"

    ReplyDelete
  36. In my viewpoint, all of the TIPS, are very important in case of a job interview, they are exremely useful. If I have to choose one, it would be the one which indicates you to "sell yourself".

    ReplyDelete
  37. In my opinion all 12 tips are important,you have to be well prepared,you have to dress well and you have to use good manners to seduce the interviewer.

  38. You cannot Zsofia, just add another entry. This is to make the place safe, so that evil-doers cannot delete the others' work.
    so go again with the same name, details, etc. and change the no of tasks.

  39. Dear sss,
    it's a very interesting solution. but where could you find 2 or 3 more teachers and who is going to pay them?

    ReplyDelete
  40. I think that all things are important to an interview, but most important is appearance, as you are wearing and know something about the company that interview, and know which are your responsibilities, to see that you are interested in the position. When talking to look in the eyes of that person, because if not, will think you bored with the interview.

  41. I think all 12 tips are importants for a succesfull interview,but from my point of view the most important is to be smart,be punctuality,and know your CV.Know your studies and experience.

  42. From this video, I’ve learnt an interesting thing: body language is very important and one smile worth more than a thousand words. I agree with it because it is known that a person, who smiles and acts in a natural way, gives a very good first impression. I think this is a good thing because in this way you can have a better chance of getting the job you want. Employers like people with positive attitude, and a smile shows that. I’ve tried this tip and I can assure you that it works. At my job interview, I tried to look relaxed; by smiling, I managed to achieve that. My future employer liked my attitude. We had a very pleasant conversation which ended with me getting the job. So, put a smile on your face and have the best of luck!

  43. I think that all 12 rules are important to an interview.At a job you need to be punctual, to know your CV so you can respond with the same things you wrote in the CV about yourself.The most important thing is is to have respect,and the eyes contact.

  44. Now the first year students have 6 or 7 english hours per week, distributed by the section ( cig 2, finance 2, ects 2 or 3) but i mean to distribute the classes by the level not by the section, the number of hours stay the same.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I couldn't open the second movie, so I answere on the fist question. Well all 12 tips are important, and I have in mind more then 1 , so I think that what is in my mind now spining is BE SMART, if you look good you feel good, and if u feel good , you will have for sure succes

  46. I think that any good interview begins whit the fact that the interviewed should have a very distinguished body language.

    ReplyDelete
  47. In my opinion all 12 tips are important but inside every people there is something special and i think that’s what the interviewer is looking.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I want to choose this job because I feel that it would be appropriate for me and the salary is satisfying to. And another reason why I want to choose this job because I already graduated in tourism and I love to gain experience in this field.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Well, if you ask me the appearance is more important than the words coming out of your mouth, because I heard that people can decide about you in the first 10 seconds, sure, to know the company, what they do and what is their goal is crucial if not it's like your applying for a job and you don't have any idea what it's all about, and even if you get the job, you won't last long in the company, that's for sure.

Olso is very important is to be relaxed, to smile . To be determined and not to speak about other things what are not important and know your CV . Obvious and others are important: body language, is having an eye-contact etc.

  51. sss,
    I know what you mean but the three sections have different timetables and it is impossible to find 2 hours when all three sections could participate at English, I mean 4 hours because there would be 2 groups at least.
    This idea is not new, we've tried it in this university but it did not work, anyway a beginners group from all three sections would mean at least 150 students in a group!
    Who can teach that?
    The more groups we form, the more common free hous we need, which is practically impossible.
    So better work on the blog where you can find writing and speaking activities. And there will be more of this next term!!
    Success

  52. in my opinion, all 12 rules are important, but most important is body language and to be punctual.

  53. At an interview we should wear a suit, give a stong handshake. We should avoid to talk about our personal life, just the strictly necessary. We shouldn`t lie, we should not be late. I think we shouldn`t talk about salary at the first interview, we should sell ourselves at the highest price. Thet`s why the keyword for a succesfull interview is respect.

  54. I saw that a lot of my colleagues could not open the second movie. After you click on “No 2” you must delete from your internet address bar, the letters “http://http// “ in front of www.youtube.com/... after that it should work. The aspect that remained in my mind is preplanning. If you do your homework, get information of that company, prepare after the interview, then you will be more confident and get the job.

  55. In my opinion the most important thing in an interview is to look good, to have knowledge of business activity and to prove the way we present ourselves as the most suitable person for the job.

  60. Tip numer eleven seems to be the most important: Prepare!. It's quite obvious that employers need the best men and women they can find and if you want to be the chosen one you got to be prepared. It is mandatory that at the time of the interview you already possess vast knowledge about the firm and their activity domain. Knowing allot about the firm and their activity makes you more confident on your succes and it also makes the employer more confident of you skills and knowledge.
