Job Interview
In the present employment market, a job interview has become a must. It is advantageous not only to the interviewer but also to the interviewee; simply because it can promote mutual understanding between them.
During the job interview, the interviewer has the chance to tell the interviewee something about his company, for example, the job vacancy,the working conditions and the annual welfare and so on. By asking the interviewee some questions, he gets to know whether the interviewee is capable of doing the job in his company.
For the interviewee, the job interview gives him an opportunity to present his academic knowledge, his background, and his interest in the job. By asking and answering questions, he can show the interviewer his personality, self-confidence and potential. If both sides are satisfied with the result of the job interview, the interview may turn out to be a win-win situation to the satisfaction of both sides.

Travel
It is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will see beautiful scenery typical of the particular region you are visiting. You can also meet and make friends with people of different nationalities. In addition, you can learn the customs and habits of the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the fastest growing industries in most countries. The main reason people travel is perhaps for pleasure. People who work throughout the week may enjoy travelling to the mountains or other places of interest near their home. However,others may prefer to save money and plan for an annual vacation, travelling abroad. When people return from a trip whether it was a short weekend excursion or a holiday abroad they normally feel refreshed and energetic, ready to go back to work, and they tend to be more productive. Travelling is an excellent form of education. While reading or hearing about something can be very informative, experiencing something with your own eyes can be a very lasting form of education. Like they say, “seeing is believing.” You can learn about the geography, history and industries of the places you visit. The knowledge acquired from travel is no less valuable than that from any influential reference book if you apply yourself to learning about the places you are seeing in your travels.
