Applicants for employment are invariably interviewed (usually in the Personal Department) before any job offer is made. The aim of the interview is not only to assess the suitability of the candidate for the vacant position, but also to give the applicant the opportunity to seek further information about the job. During the interview the applicants may be required to complete an aptitude test designed to assess their suitability for the job available.
The interview is crucial for the applicant because it is at this time that the interviewer assesses the candidate’s appearance, ability to communicate and general manner. Consequently, it is important to be thoroughly prepared for the interview.

You will be asked a lot of questions during the interview. Your interviewer may look cold and uninterested. Try to relax and remember that you are prepared for everything. Be honest, but don't give any information about yourself if you are not asked; interview is not a friendly talk. Don't talk about your personal problems and never say anything unpleasant about your former boss. Listen to the questions attentively before answering.

These accounts are written in terms of the currency of the country concerned. Money also functions as a “store” of value.

A successful negotiation is when two people (or teams) reach agreement on something which they are both happy with. There should not be a winner and a loser. The negotiation should end with both people getting what they want. For example, if workers negotiate with the company’s management, the workers may get more pay and the management may get better productivity.
To be a good negotiator takes a lot of skill and preparation. You need to:
– understand what is a good result for the other team as well as yourself
– have a clear idea of your objectives
– be willing to compromise on your objectives
– be sure what your priorities are – what is most important to you
– have a strategy – a plan of what you are going to do and say
– listen carefully to the other people – what they say, and how they say it
– be well-prepared.
