Practicing on a Computer
只在電腦上練習
If you were training for a serious bike race in the mountains, would you practice only by bik-ing on the streets? I hope not The air is different The terrain is different Yeah, I bet you’dpractice in the mountains
如果你正在準備山地自行車比賽,你會在馬路上練習嗎?我想肯定不會吧。因為兩者的氣溫,地形有很大的差異。所以我打賭你會在山地上練習!
Using a compiler to practice interview questions is like this - and you’ve basically been bikingon the streets your entire life Put away the compiler and get out the old pen and paper Usea compiler only to verify your solutions
那么用編譯器來幫你準備面試,就像在馬路上練習山地自行車一樣。還是老老實實的拿出塵封已久的筆和紙來練習吧。編譯器還是留到最后驗證答案的時候用。
Not Rehearsing Behavioral Questions
不準備行為面試
Many candidates spend all their time prepping for technical questions and overlook the behavioral questions Guess what? Your interviewer is judging those too! And, not only that- your performance on behavioral questions might bias your interviewer’s perception of your technical performance Behavioral prep is relatively easy and well-worth your time Lookingover your projects and positions and think of the key stories Rehearse the stories Seepg 29 for more details
很多應聘者花了大量的時間準備技術問題,忽視了行為問題。知道嗎嘛,面試官一樣看重行為問題。而你行為問題方面的表現會影響面試官對你問答技術問題的評價。況且準備行為問題也非常的簡單,性價比很高。瀏覽你簡歷上涉及的項目和職位信息,總結下每個項中的重要信息。具體的方法在之前的章節已經介紹過了。
Not Doing a Mock Interview
不做模擬面試
Imagine you’re preparing for a big speech Your whole school, or company, or whatever willbe there Your future depends on this And all you do to prepare is read the speech to your-self Silently In your head Crazy, right? Not doing a mock interview to prepare for your real interview is just like this If you’re anengineer, you must know other engineers Grab a buddy and ask him/her to do a mockinterview for you You can even return the favor!
假想下你正準備一個演講,全學校或者全公司的都會來聽,不管怎么說這次演講對你至關重要。如果你只是每次都對著自己默念來準備的話,是不是覺得很傻?不做模擬面試就和這件事情一樣傻。隨便拉一個同事過來,讓他給你模擬面試一次。你們也可以相互面,禮尚往來嘛。
