Secrets of Success at an Interview
面试成功的决窍
The subject of today's talk is interviews.
The key words here are preparation and confidence, which will carry you far.
Do your homework first.
Find out all you can about the job you are applying for and the organization
you hope to work for.
我们今天的话题是面试。
这里送你一句话:有备而往,信心当强。相信这句话会让你受益匪浅。
首先要做好面试之外的工作。
尽可能地了解你所申请的工作和希望为之工作的机构的情况。
Many of the employers I interviewed made the same criticism of candidates.
"They have no idea what the day to day work of the job brings about. They
have vague notions of 'furthering the company's prospects' or of 'serving the
community', but have never taken the trouble to find out the actual tasks they
will be required to do."
我所采访的许多雇主对应聘人做了相同的批评:"他们对这项工作的日常事务会带来什么
一无所知。他们对'拓展公司的前景'、'进行社会服务'只有模模糊糊的认识,但从不下工夫
对他们要做的实际工作作深入的了解。"
Do not let this be said of you. It shows an unattractive indifference to your
employer and to your job.
Take the time to put yourself into the interviewer's place. He wants somebody
who is hard-working with a pleasant personality and a real interest in the job.
Anything that you find out about the prospective employer can be used to
your advantage during the interview to show that you have bothered to
master some facts about the people who you hope to work for.
不要让人这样评价自己;那样的话,说明你对雇主和工作太不在乎,这可不是个好印象。
不妨设身处地替雇主和工作太不在乎,他要的是勤奋的、性格让人喜欢的雇员,而且对所
做的工作真正感兴趣。
