Conversation One
M: Next: Be prepared for a common approach known as behavioral-based interviewing.
W: And that is where past performance will indicate future performance. So good interviewers will ask you very detailed questions where they'll put you on the spot and they'll want to know specifically what role you played in a particular project. And so the key to giving a good answer is to do what I call a STAR, S-T-A-R. The S and the T stand for explaining a situation or a task that you were given, the A is the action you took and the R is the results.
M: So what you're saying is that you need to be prepared before you walk in the door.
W: Go through some mock interviews, if you can have friends ask you questions. Practice in the mirror, answering questions. You can bring out three or four things you really want to stress about yourself no matter what the question is asked.
M: How do you follow up after the interview?
W: Please send a thank-you letter. And you can do it by e-mail. And in that thank-you letter you do a couple of things. You make sure that you express sincere appreciation for the time that they spent interviewing you. You have an opportunity to re-emphasize some of your strongest qualities. You have another chance to make that case as to how your skills meet their needs. If there was something that you wish you had said a little more about, again an opportunity to do it here. Now that sounds like a lot to cover, but you do it very briefly, in a short couple of paragraphs and get it out right away.

對話一
男:接下來,你要為常見的行為面試做準備
女:行為面試的依據是一個人過去的行為能預示他未來的行為 。好的面試官會直接問你一些非常詳細的問題,他們想確切地知道在某個項目中被面試者起了什么樣的作用 。因此做出好的回答的關鍵就是:
男:那么你的意思就是說去面試之前需要做好準備 。
女:你可以做些模擬面試,請朋友問你問題 。面對鏡子練習回答 。無論面試官提出什么問題,你都可以提及三到四點你想強調的自身特點 。
男:面試之后要如何跟進呢?
女:發一封感謝信,可以通過郵件 。你可以通過這封信完成幾件事情 。一定要對面試官抽時間給予面試表達真摯的感激之情 。你也可以利用這次機會再次強調自己的優點并說明為什么你的能力就是他們所需要的 。如果你還有什么想說沒說的事情,這封感謝信就是契機 。雖然提到了很多,但是信一定要簡明,寫幾個簡短的段落然后發送出去就可以了 。
