1Last week I had an interview for a job at an international software company.

2I prepared carefully by reading about the company and practising answers with a friend.

3On the morning of the interview, I arrived twenty minutes early and felt surprisingly calm.

4The interviewer asked me to describe a difficult situation I had handled at work.

5I explained how I had solved a serious problem with an unhappy customer last year.

6When I did not understand a question, I politely asked her to repeat it.

7I also asked about training opportunities, which seemed to make a good impression.

8Two days later, they phoned to offer me the position with a higher salary.

9Looking back, careful preparation gave me the confidence to speak clearly and honestly.

10My advice is simple: be yourself, but be the best version of yourself.
