Situation: Alice is getting ready for a job-interview at Sun Tech. She is asking her friend, Nancy for some advance.
| Alice | : Nancy, do you have any tip for a successful interview? |
| Nancy | : Well, first of all, you need to dress up yourself professionally. |
| Alice | : OK. What precautions should I take during the interview? |
| Nancy | : Please ensure that you make good eye-contact and answer all the questions politely and positively. |
| Alice | : But I am not sure what kind of questions they will ask. |
| Nancy | : They will probably want to know a little bit about your work-experience as well as something about your character. |
| Alice | : What kind of questions should I ask them? |
| Nancy | : You should ask them about the job-requirements and a few details about the Company. |
| Alice | : Should I ask them about salary, working hours and vacation? |
| Nancy | : No. Do not initiate any talk related to salary unless they bring it up. |
| Alice | : You are right. If they are interested in availing of my services, there will be plenty of chances to talk about it later. |
| Nancy | : You are absolutely right. The more interested they are, the more they shall offer. |
