　　 (E = Editor; I = Interviewer)

　　I: In what way?

　　E: I've got to be sure that the person is going to be able to get on with people. They need to be  quick thinkers and they need to be able to express themselves easily in words.

　　I: Are there any other qualities (素质) that you are looking for?

　　E: Yes. The kind of mind that's always asking questions, being able to talk to people easily, that kind of thing.

　　I: What do you do in the interview?

　　E: I ask the person about their time at school and their work experience. I ask them about events     of the day and ask about their political opinions. I change subjects often and see if they can answer a question quickly.

　　I: Can you give any general advice to school-leavers who are about to go for a job interview?

　　E: Yes. Arrive on time. Dress tidily, but not too smartly. Find out as much as you can about the  organization before you go to the interview. Don't be shy. Be proud of your successes. But don't pretend to know everything. Admit what you don't know and show that you are eager to learn and gain experience.
