information in an organization’s annual report or on its website. This kind of knowledge can help you ask
intelligent questions during your interview. It also shows the interviewer that you are interested in the
employer’s business.
Most interviewers pay close attention to the way an applicant acts, dresses and answers questions. You can
make a good impression by arriving on time and by being confident, prepared and well-organized. Your
clothing should be clean, comfortable and professional. Wear the kinds of clothes appropriate to the company,
unless the workers wear uniforms. The interviewer will probably ask about your interests, your work
experience and your goals. Answer all questions briefly. You should also prepare questions to ask the
interviewer about the company and the position you are seeking. Send a follow-up letter to everyone who
interviewed you no later than two days after the interview. In the letter, thank the interviewer for the time

D. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer.
Everyone wants a job that pays well. Some people stop school early because they want to start earning cash
right away. Others spend years and years studying in school in order to get a better job. Which is best? Actually,

school means an extra $7,000!

degree can make an average of $52,200. With a master’s degree, he or she can make about $62,000. And
studies show that if a person gets a PhD, he or she can make $89,000 or more a year.
