Use Appropriate Language
言語得體
It's a given that you should use professional language during the interview. Be aware of any inappropriate slang words or references to age, race, religion, politics or sexual orientation -- these topics could send you out the door very quickly.
按常理,在面試中你應該使用專業語言。要注意不要使用任何不適當的俚語,或是談論涉及到年齡、種族、宗教、政治或者性取向的話題——這些會令你很快無緣工作。
Don't Be Cocky
別太自滿
Attitude plays a key role in your interview success. There is a fine balance between confidence, professionalism and modesty. Even if you're putting on a performance to demonstrate your ability, overconfidence is as bad, if not worse, as being too reserved.
要在面試中取勝,態度舉足輕重。自信、專業、謙虛三者之間有一個很微妙的平衡,需要協調好。即使是要展示自身能力,過度自信也要不得,它與過度拘謹一樣不好,甚至更糟糕。
Take Care to Answer the Questions
留神回答問題
When an interviewer asks for an example of a time when you did something, he is seeking a sample of your past behavior. If you fail to relate a specific example, you not only don't answer the question, but you also miss an opportunity to prove your ability and talk about your skills.
當面試官讓你舉例說明你做某事時的一段時期,他是在尋找例子以了解你過去的行為。如果你不能給出一個具體的例子,你非但回答不了這個問題,而且還錯失了一個能證明你能力并談論你水平的良機。
Ask Questions
詢問
When asked if they have any questions, most candidates answer, "No." Wrong answer. It is extremely important to ask questions to demonstrate an interest in what goes on in the company. Asking questions also gives you the opportunity to find out if this is the right place for you. The best questions come from listening to what is asked during the interview and asking for additional information.
當問到有什么問題要問時,面試者通常回答“沒有”。回答錯誤!詢問極其重要,因為這表明你對公司事務的關心。詢問也讓你有機會搞清楚這地方是否適合你。你問的問題最好是與面試時被問到的內容有關的,或者是詢問更多信息的。
Don't Appear Desperate
別顯得絕望
