Job Interview
17_____________________
When it comes to interview questions, it pays to expect the unexpected. This is a true story of one candidate's experience. This is how his interviewers greeted him:
“We've been interviewing candidates all morning and we're getting bored. Do something to impress us.” Then the interviewers got out their newspapers and started reading them. The candidate said, “Well, I've been waiting in this office for more than two hours because you’ve been running late. Actually I'm not impressed by your organization and not sure I want to work for you. Goodbye.” The interviewee walked out, was invited back the next day and was offered the job.
18______________________
How would you act in a situation like this?
That interview was rather extreme, but a lot of employers have turned to using “killer questions” or “shock tactics”, such as these:
“Tell me something about yourself that you have never told anyone.”
“Which three famous people would you invite to a dinner party and why?”
“We have employed people from your university, and they haven't been good. Can you tell us why you think you'd do better?”
Killer questions often come early in the interview and are aimed at throwing the candidate off guard. By surprising the candidate with an original or difficult question, interviewers can get an honest reaction and an unplanned response. They also want to see candidates think through their responses calmly.
19________________________
Interviewers also ask candidates other kinds of difficult questions to see how they react under pressure. For example, they may ask a hypothetical question related to work, such as:
“Imagine you are an employee in customer services. What would you do if an important customer was very rude to you?”
However, some experts think that hypothetical questions are not useful because they only generate hypothetical answers. They prefer candidates to talk about their past experience.
20________________________
So, what should you do in these circumstances? Imagine: an interviewer has asked you a 'killer question' and you just don't know how to answer it - your mind is blank. Remember, the interviewer isn't interested in your response as much as the way you respond. So, stay calm, take a few deep breaths and buy some time, e.g. “Actually, that's interesting. I haven't thought about it, but maybe I'd ...” It's a good idea to practice asking and answering some of these questions with friends.

A very good actor was playing in a comedy where he (33) _____ the role of an aristocrat.
The aristocrat (34) _____ in the Bastille prison where he had to spend a lot of time. In the second act a guard (35) _____ and gave the aristocratic prisoner a letter. The prisoner took the letter and read it aloud. The play (36) _____ hundreds of times and the aristocrat (47) _____ the letter by heart but he always (38) _____ that the letter should be written down completely.
One night the guard (39) _____ a joke on the famous actor, just to find out if he knew the letter by heart, after so many performances.
When the guard (40) _____ the prisoner's dark cell, the prisoner (41) _____ on a small bed. He gave the prisoner the letter, but this time there was nothing on the sheet: it was completely blank. The guard looked at the aristocrat: he was so happy about his joke that he couldn't hide his smile. He wanted to see if the prisoner could recite the letter by heart.
The prisoner looked at the letter for some seconds, then he said: "There is too little light. I can't see very well. Can you please read the letter for me?" And he gave the letter to the guard. The guard, who obviously (42) _____ the letter, said: "You are right. The light is really very dim. I must go and get my glasses."

He left the cell and went to fetch the usual copy of the letter. Then he came back with the letter and the pair of glasses and started reading the letter to the prisoner. The prisoner was of course very much amused.
