Question

The 28-year-old had spent six years working nights while she gained her univ
ersity degree during the day. When she finally graduated she had her eye on a teaching1lat a nearby primary school. With the help of her friends, she had an interview with the Head.
“I noticed a tiny hole in one of my stockings earlier,” she2. “I thought about changing them, but I knew I’d be late if I did. And by the time I got to the interview,3enormous. I walked in apologizing for not4.”The would-be teacher didn’t get the job. In fact one of her friends told her that the5only comment was:“If someone doesn't take the time to present her best6at an interview,what kind of7is she going to be?”
First impressions are8ones. In other words, if you're viewed positively within the critical(關鍵的)first four minutes, the person you've met will9assume everything you do is positive. Leave the interviewer a bad impression, and often he will assume you have a lot of other unsatisfactory characters. Worse, he or she may not take the time to give you a second10. Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about themselves will care more about their jobs.
