The motto of our lesson is Steve Jobs’  words  “Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life. For many people a job is more than an income — it's an important part of who we are.”

Now I’d like you to answer the question: Which is more important – a high salary or satisfaction? My job, for example, is not highly-paid, but it is extremely interesting. What’s your opinion of the problem? What profession will you never choose?             

e.g.

-  To my opinion

1. Tips for a successful interview.
2. How to dress for a success.
3. What to say at a job interview.

The key to a successful job interview is preparation. It is very important to make sure your CV is up-to-date and free of mistakes. Also, you should gather information about the company or organisation you are applying to. Furthermore, you must know some things about the specific job position, including general responsibilities and daily duties.

Next, it is helpful to prepare for the interview itself by answering typical interview questions. You can try answering these specific questions in front of a friend or family member. Remember, there is always room for improvement; the more you practise, the more confident you will be that you won't mess things up during the interview. You should also prepare questions to ask during the interview. These questions should reflect your research on the company and position. However, remember not to ask any questions about salary on your first interview. If you do, the interviewer may think that you only care about the benefits and that your interest in the company isn't genuine.

Final preparations include choosing what to wear. It is important to select something appropriate. A business suit is always acceptable. If your clothing is clean and well pressed, the interviewer will think that you are a neat and organised person. Also, you must know the location of your interview. You should arrive at the interview ten minutes in advance. You must also remember to bring extra copies of your resume with you. Bringing a small notebook for notes is also a good idea. Remember to stay calm and project an image of self-confidence.

After the interview, it’s suggested you send a thank-you note. Remember, the more you prepare, the more successful your interview will be.
