 　　你是否在为面试忐忑不安呢？让Mr. Rudy来教你如何准备面试吧。Lisa received a letter from IBG one week later. It informed her she had an interview with the company's executive¹ general manger, Mr. Johnson Liu. The interview was on Thursday from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The night before the interview, Lisa went to see Steven Ruby² a third time. They had a long talk.

　　Lisa: I have a piece of good news to tell you, Mr. Ruby.

　　Steven: What is it?

　　Lisa: I have an interview with the IBG tomorrow afternoon.

　　Steven: Really? I'm glad to hear that.

　　Lisa: I'd like your advice before I have the interview.

　　Steven: I'm always happy to help you, Lisa.

　　Lisa: Do you think they'll ask me a lot of questions?

　　Steven: Don't be afraid of questions, Lisa. Be ready with answers.

　　Lisa: What questions do you think they'll ask?

　　Steven: They may ask you questions such as: 'Are you interested in business? Why do you want to work in the company? Do you have any social experience?' And so on.

　　Lisa: I'm confident I can properly answer those questions.

　　Steven: Good. It's important for you to answer questions naturally and properly.

　　Lisa: What should I say if they ask me about things that I'm not familiar with?

　　Steven: Be honest. Then assure³ the interviewer⁴ that you're able to master anything the job requires.

　　Lisa: I feel more confident now, Mr. Ruby.

　　Steven: I'm sure you'll get the position.

　　Lisa: I'm very grateful⁵ for your help.
