A job applicant has the responsibility for ascertaining certain types of information prior to the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his career objective. It is important that the applicant be able to state his reasons for wishing to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company. Relevant information for the applicant to locate includes such items as the location of the home and regional offices, the financial status of the company, plans

impression comes from the interviewee’s appearance. For most interviews, appropriate dress for man is a 线 conservative

Here are a few examples of business customs in foreign lands that one should be cognizant of:
In Brazil, conversations can become very animated and involve physical contact and raised voices. Yet trying to dominate the conversation will meet with disapproval.
In China, it's considered impolite to reply negatively. Answers like \time\gifts, avoid using white or green wrapping paper as those colors are considered to be inauspicious. In Germany, it's customary to wait to be introduced to someone new by a third party. People are uncomfortable when approached by complete strangers.
When dining with co-workers in Japan, always let the host pay for the meal. Be sure to never leave your chopsticks placed vertically in a bowl of rice as this is only done at funerals.
The Irish are enthusiastic conversationalists who often indulge in criticism of themselves as a people and Ireland as a country. If you're involved in this type of conversation, never agree with what is being said or you'll find that both yourself and your country will be roundly abused.
