The following paragraph contain 10 errors. For question 76-85, write the line number, the error and the correction in the space provided on the answer sheet. The first one has been done as an example (0).(0) Line 1: advised --> advisablePREPARING FOR YOUR FIRST INTERVIEWLine1 Before going to an interview, it is (0) advised to go through a mock interview. This will2 give you the opportunity to try out your technique and answers live. It is also a chance to3 receive feedback that is benefit in guiding you towards improving on your interview style4 and general presentation. Just one mock interview will result from a noticeable5 improvement in your interview skills. Why? For the same reason that a speech doesn't6 exist while it is still on paper or float in your head. It only exists when you give it oral.7 The first time you give it in front of an audience, it will come out nothing like the one you8 prepared. It is the same with being interviewed. It is not enough to look at a question and9 say, “Yeah, I know the answer for that one.” You need practicing your answers live; this10 is not the time to talk to oneself in front of a mirror. Seek out a professional and have the11 session videotape. Then you will have two opinions – the interviewer and yours.
