Description of the best job interview

  • During a job interview, people should wear an elegant outfit and have a neat haircut.

They shouldn’t be shy but they should speak with energy.

Finally, they should be polite and arrive on time.

 

  • For me, the perfect boss should be serious and silly at times. They should respect and help their employees. Finally, they shouldn’t be too strict. On the contrary, they should be gentle and nice.
