Speaking-Part1 最初の1-2分が肝心

Most interviewers have got 3 purposes within the first 1-2
minutes of the interview.

■First purpose:
to help candidate relax.
Give casual questions.

■Second purpose:
to get a first impression about your Englishlevel,
to find out your English,to get initial impression
about your English level.

■The third purpose:
to find a topic for the remaining time of the Part1.
Any thing you mentioned might become a topic later.
If you carelessly mention something you are not very familiar
with,and the interviewer happens to be interested in that
topic,you will probably be in trouble.

An experienced interviewer will be able to reach his or her conclusion about the candidate's qualification within the first 1 to 2 minutes of the interview.

We should pay special attention to our answers to the first few questions.Sometimes people make simple and silly mistakes when they answer simple questions.

In the remain 10 minutes,the interviewr is trying to look for evidences to confirm his dicision.
