【正确答案】A: To be successful in an interview, we should make good preparation for that. Think about the questions the interviewer probably asks. It's true that some questions are very difficult to answer, such as what don't you like about your current position? What is your weakness?
B: I know what you mean. No job is perfect. There's always something we don't like. Be honest but don't give a list of complaints. The important thing is to talk positively about how you deal with problems at work.
A: Yes. And no one is perfect. We'd better think about these questions before interview carefully. As to weakness, I think we should be honest as well but we need to choose the answer carefully. Talk about how we deal with a weakness; this is far more important than the weakness itself.
B: Well, now let us turn to the company. To know the position and the company as much as possible is very important. It shows we are interested in the job, which may impress the interviewer.
A: I understand. That shows your positive attitude. To be positive in the interview may make your potential employer think you will be a positive worker. Usually, it will make a successful interview.
