Then, after they have received all the applications, they willscreen them - go through and shortlist the candidates for interview- chOOSing those who appear to meet the criteria for the job. Next,they will assemble an interview panel, which is perhaps as many asfour or five people in some cases, and then call the candidates tointerview, Some employers choose to check references at this stageto avoid delays later, while others wait until after the interview whenthe)' have chosen one of the candidates.
Provided the panel is happy,the employer will make a job offer, and the successful candidatestarts work. Often he or she will attend induction sessions or begiven a mentor who helps to train new staff.CD2 TRACK 5aenthusiastic b adaptable c methodical d reliableambitious f objecti,'e g creative h analyticali authoritativei practicale(D2 TRACK 6 (I = INTERVIEWER, (0 (ARYS OWEN)IHow do you help people to find the right job?(0 As a specialist recruiter, our role is to assist job seekers in finding the=perfect role for them.

In addition, we'll also work with them onhow they present themselves - your CV, for example.
We will workthrough a Cv, perhaps give tips and hints as to how best to presentthat, so that the candidate has the best possible opportunity ofbe-ingrepresented in the right way to the client.We also lise our Hays.colll website, which is a jobseekers' website.Candidates can apply online for roles that we advertise Ulll, theywill also have the opportunity to get advice from that website, as wellas to how they should structure their application. 111erc's quite oftenmore information about prospective employer[s] on there so thatYOli can really sec, straight from the website, what type of role is bestfor you.-(02 TRACK 7 (I = INTERVIEWER, CO (ARYS OWEN)IIs there any particular preparation you recommend before a job interview?=CO Preparation is absolutely key for an)' job interview.

For us as a global business, it meansthat we can truly act in that way - we can recruit roles in the UKthat are based wherever, equally we can recruit roles from India thatare based wherever. It also means that the candidate or job seekersdo have a huge amount of choice. You can go onto your website athome, sitting at home, and look at roles and jobs that are advertisedglobally, worldwide, so it's an absolutely unique opportunity for bothcandidates and employers.Equally, um, in terms of the recruitment market, we have seen inthe last years ... few years, a development in the need for interimemployees and temporary employees. Lots of organisations noware going through periods of change, and 1 think it's an accepted factthat organisations will continue to go through change, and quiteoften, specialist people will need to be brought in on project bases, toundertake specific projects in areas such as IT, human resources .project management generally will be very sought after.C02 TRACK 9 (CT=CINDYTANG, lP=II PING)CT Good morning, my name's Cindy Tan.
I'm calling about yourlPCTlPCTlPCTlPCTlPCTlPCTlPCTlPCTlPCTadvertisement in the China Post for a Marketing Assistant. I waswondering ifyou could give me a little more information.Certainly, what do you need to know?Well, first of all, am I stil1 in time to apply? I only saw the adverttoday, and the newspaper was two weeks old. So, I was thinking,maybe it's too late ...No, don't worry, you're not too late, but you must hurry becausethe closing date for application is this Friday, so you haven't got alot of time.I see, that gives me just a couple ofdays.
Well, I see there's anapplication form on your website, so I'll complete it right away ande-mail it to you.Good, I look forward to getting it.Just one or h\'o more questions. I'd also like to know when thesuccessful candidate has to start work with you. I mean, if I get thejob, will i be able to give my present employer sufficient notice?OK, that's a good question. How much notice would you need to give?Well, I think my contract states that I have to give a month's notice.Oh, that's no problem at all.
We wouldn't expect anyone to join usimmediately. In fact, ifyou were offered the job, I believe you'd startafter the New Year - that would give you plenty of time.OK, so, just to get this clear, I probably wouldn't have to startworking until February, and maybe even later?Exactly.One last question. Could I ask you what the salary is? It wasn't givenin the advert.You're right. It would depend on a lot of things: qualifications,experiencc, personal qualitics, that sort of thing.Arc you saying you can't give me a figure?That's right.
The salary's negotiable. But 1 can tell you, we pay verycompetitive salaries. I don't think )'ou'll be disappointed by thestarting salary we offer.OK, I think that's cverything. Thanks very much for your help.Not at all, and good luck if you get an interview.Thanks very much.C02 TRACK 10 (I INTERVIEWER, SW = SEAN WILDER)ICould I ask you, Mr Wilder, why you want to leave your present job?=160SW OK, well, I really enjoy teaching languages, but I'm 52 now, and Ifeel I need a new challenge, something to really motivate me. It's notabout money - ,ve're verywell off as a family - but recently I've feltteaching really wasn't enough, wasn't stretching me. I wasn't going towork with a good feeling inside me, let me put it that way.So, baSically, you were bored?SW Exactly.10K.
NO\\) what would you 5.1.y is your main weakness, in tenns of this job?SW Mmm, that's a tricky question. Let me think ... well, I seem to geton well with most people, you know, I'm very easy-gOing - everyonesays so - and someone has to do something really bad to me beforeI get angry. In fact, I can't remember the last time I got angry. I tryto avoid confrontation with people.
