不要让8件事毁掉你的面试 如何应答面试 中英

The interviewer asks you, “Do you have any questions for me?“ 面试官问你，“你有什么问题要问我吗？“ You say . “Yes!“ 你回答说“有！“ This is the easiest interview question out there. Always say yes。 这是最简单的面试问题，总要说有的。 Asking questions shows that youre interested in the job. It also gives you a chance to show how knowledgeable you are about the position and the industry. Most important, it lets you highlight why youre the perfect candidate。 能提出问题表示你对这份工作很有兴趣。这还给了你一个机会展示一下你对这 个职位以及这个行业的熟悉程度，最重要的是，这给你机会来强调为什么你是 最佳求职者。 You have to choose your questions carefully, though, depending on whos doing the interviewing. An excellent question for a recruiter might be inappropriate for an executive. And you dont want to ask your potential boss something thats best suited for a future coworker。 不过你应该根据来面试你的人仔细的选择你的问题。一个问招聘人员最合适的 问题却不一定合适问高级主管。你也不想用最应该问将来同事的问题向未来老 板提问吧。 Also, there are certain questions you should never ask early in the interview process - no matter whom youre meeting. Dont ask about salary, vacation, 401(k) or anything else that might make you seem more interested in the compensation than the company。 还有，有些问题是你永远都不应该在面试环节提问的-不管谁面试你。不要提 问关于薪水、假期、退休金或者其他可能让你看上去更关心薪金而不是公司的 问题。 This article shares questions appropriate for every type of interviewer。 这篇文章为你提供一些适合问各种面试官的问题。 The Recruiter: The Big Picture Person 招聘人员：统观大局的人 Its the recruiters job to identify strong candidates and guide them through the hiring process.

Dont be a “smiley face“. 不要满脸堆笑 Excessive smiling in a job interview is seen for what it is- nervousness and a lack of confidence. A smiley-face person exudes phoniness, which will quickly be picked up by the interviewer. Instead be thoughtful and pleasant. Smile when theres something to smile about. Do a practice run in front of a mirror or friend. 面试中过度微笑会被视作紧张和缺乏自信的表现。一个人满脸堆笑会让人感觉 很假，而这些很快会被面试官发现。你需要表现得有思想并且令人愉悦。该笑 的时候再去笑。先在镜子或朋友面前练习练习。 2. Dont be a bad comedian. 不要成为糟糕的滑稽演员 Humor tends to be very subjective, and while it may be tempting to lead your interview with a joke youve got to be careful about your material. You probably will know nothing about the sensibilities of your interviewer, let alone what makes them laugh. On the other hand, nothing disarms the tension of a job interview like a little laughter, so you can probably score at least a courtesy chuckle mentioning that its “perfect weather for a job interview!“ 幽默往往是十分主观的东西，虽然它可能让你的面试有一个幽默的开始，但你 一定要小心你的笑料。你可能对面试官的敏感度一无所知，就更别提什么能博 得他们大笑了。可另一方面，没有什么会比一点点笑声更能缓解面试时的紧张， 所以，说“真是面试的好天气”这样的话，你能至少赢得一点礼貌的笑声。 3. Dont sweat. 不要流汗 You can lose a job by wearing an undershirt or simply a little too much clothing. Sweaty palms or beads on your forehead will not impress. Sweat will be seen as a sign of weakness and nervousness. Do a practice run with your job interview outfit in front of friends. The job interview is one place you definitely dont want to be hot. 穿了件汗衫或者衣服多穿了一点点可能会让你失去一份工作。手掌有汗或额头 上的汗珠不会给人留下好印象。出汗将被看作是一个表示柔弱和紧张的迹象。 穿着你的面试服装在朋友面前先实际演练一下。面试绝对不是个应该汗流浃背 的场合。 4. Dont be a small-talker. 不要闲扯 Your job is to be knowledgeable about the company for which youre interviewing. Random facts about last nights episode or your favorite blog will not get you the job. Never feel you he to fill an interview with small talk. Find ways to talk about serious subjects related to the industry or company. Pockets of silence are better than padding an interview with random babble. 你的任务让面试单位觉得你学识渊博。漫无目的地闲扯昨晚的肥皂剧情或者最 喜爱的博客都不会让你得到这份工作。绝对不要觉得自己非得在面试里不停地 闲谈。找到途径谈论和该行业或公司有关的话题。片刻间歇的沉默比用胡言乱 语填充面试要更好。 5. Dont be petty. 不要琐碎 Asking the location of the lunchroom or meeting room will clue the interviewer into your lack of preparation and initiative. Prepare. Dont ask questions about routine elements or functions of a company: where stuff is, the size of your cube, and company policy on coffeebreaks. 询问午餐房间或会议室在哪里是在暗示你缺乏准备和主动性。做好准备。不要 询问与公司的常规事务或职能相关的问题：比如物品位置，你的办公隔间大小， 咖啡休息时间的政策等。 6. Dont be a liar. 不要撒谎 Studies show that employees lie frequently in the workplace. Lying wont get you a job. In a job interview even a slight exaggeration is lying. Dont. Never stretch your resume or embellish accomplishments. One lie can ruin your entire interview, and the skilled interviewer will spot the lie and show you the door. 研究表明员工在职场上经常会撒谎。撒谎无法给你带来一份工作。面试时的一 点点夸张都算撒谎。别那么做。不要夸大你的简历或美化你的成绩。一个谎言 会破坏整个面试，有经验的面试者一定会拆穿谎言并将你扫地出门。 7. Dont be high-maintenance. 不要太难伺候 If you start talking about the ideal office temperature, the perfect chair for your tricky back, and how the water
