Step 3 Consolidations
Observe the pictures and encourage students to point out what wrong things have been done for an interview.

(The two persons, especially the person should be dressed smartly instead of wearing a jacket, boots and extremely short top wear. When going for an interview, a lady can use some hairpins or styling wax to keep her hair neat and tidy. The young lady’s hair style is too fashionable and unique. People in the rest of the three pictures all have used wrong body languages. When interviewed, a person should not keep their arms or legs crossed, which is very rude and arrogant behavior, nor could he sink into a chair. Instead, he should keep his back straight to give the interviewer an impression of confidence and politeness)
