you really want.Its notusually to feel nervous and anxious.Sometimes its this anxiety,not ourqualifications,that keeps us from obtaining our dream job.So you must overcome your nervousness and build up confidence.Thisoften involves two factors:one mental and the other physical.Mentally,its important to prepare yourself for the interview without obsessingover it.Remember,it might be your dream job,but it wont be the endof the world if you dont get it.Tell yourself that the company would belucky to get you;and if they choose someone else,it will be their loss.In essence,you need to build your self-confidence.Your ability toanswer all questions without hesitation will certainly impress theinterviewer.Now that you are mentally ready for any question that might be thrownyour way,its time to work on your physical presentation.No matterwhat position you are applying for,your physical appearance at theinterview will be a big factor in the final determination.Its always agood idea to wear a suit;it doesnt have to be a designer suit,butsomething plain and conservative.Do not dress too informally.Forexample,dont wear a red fashionable jacket for your interview.Makesure,too,that it is clean and pressed.This may seem like commonsense,but youd be surprised how careless some applicants are.Whileits not necessary to visit the beauty salon before your interview,makesure that your nail are well-manicured,and your hair is styled carefullyand neatly.Unit5II.Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptW:I bought a camera from your store.Heres my receipt.I know itsjust warranty period,but the
