In times of high unemployment, there are usually very many applicants when a vacancy is advertised. Sometimes large numbers of people fill in and send off application forms for a single job. It is not unusual, in fact, for hundreds of people to apply for one post. This number is reduced to a short-list of perhaps six or eight, from whom a final choice is made when they all attend an interview.

Very possibly the people interviewing will be interested in the qualifications the candidates gained at school or university and what experience they have had in previous jobs. They will probably ask for references written by the candidates' teachers or employers.
