上網(wǎng)、發(fā)簡(jiǎn)歷、在電話(huà)前的耐心等待之后,所有這些努力工作都因?yàn)橐粓?chǎng)面試有了回報(bào)。但是,你怎樣準(zhǔn)備你的面試呢?你穿什么?你打算怎么解釋簡(jiǎn)歷中沒(méi)工作的那段時(shí)間呢?
Below is a quick quiz to test your interview savvy. Read through the following true-or-false statements to assess your Interview IQ.
下面是一個(gè)快速測(cè)試來(lái)檢驗(yàn)?zāi)愕拿嬖囶I(lǐng)悟力。通過(guò)選出對(duì)還是錯(cuò)來(lái)測(cè)試一下你的面試IQ吧。
1. If I prepare too much for an interview I will seem desperate. (True/False?)
1.如果我準(zhǔn)備太多會(huì)顯得我太渴望這份工作了。(對(duì)/錯(cuò)?)
False.There is nothing worse than an unprepared interviewee. Make sure youhave done your homework about the organization and the job skillsrequired before the interview. This will help when you’re asked, "Whydo you want to work here?" Plus, you can ask knowledgeable questions when your turn comes around.
錯(cuò)誤。沒(méi)有比毫無(wú)準(zhǔn)備的接受面試更糟糕的事情了。在面試前要確保你做好關(guān)于公司以及工作需要的“作業(yè)”。當(dāng)你被問(wèn)到“你為什么想在這里工作?”的時(shí)候這些會(huì)有幫助的。此外,輪到你提問(wèn)的時(shí)候你也能問(wèn)出一些有見(jiàn)地的問(wèn)題。
2. Before the interview, put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes to see things from their perspective.
2.在面試前,設(shè)身處地的從面試官的角度去看問(wèn)題。
True. Typically, interviewers are busy and easily distracted.Remember that you may be one of 10 people that they have talked to inthe last five hours. Don’t make them struggle to get answers out of youor make sense of your rambling replies.
正確。面試官通常都很忙,很容易心煩。要記住你可能是他們?cè)谶^(guò)去五小時(shí)內(nèi)和他們談過(guò)話(huà)的十個(gè)人之一。別讓他們絞盡腦汁才能明白你的答案或者理解你散漫的回答。
3. Role-playing to prepare for typical interview questions is really important.
準(zhǔn)備常規(guī)性面試做個(gè)角色扮演的準(zhǔn)備是非常重要的。
True. Practicing your responses to typical interview questions is paramount. Role-play with a friend and get feedback on how you come across. For example, if you say that you are really excited about the job but sound hesitant, you will not seem credible.
正確。練習(xí)回答一些常規(guī)性的面試問(wèn)題是非常重要的。和一位朋友做些角色扮演吧,你能得到一些反饋怎么能得到更好的效果。比如你說(shuō)你真的為這份工作感到非常興奮但是口氣很猶豫的話(huà),你看上去就不太可信。
4. If you have reservations about your abilities or skills for the position you should tell the whole truth.
4.面試某一職位,如果你對(duì)自己的能力或技巧有所保留你應(yīng)該將真相和盤(pán)托出。
True/False. You should not tell a lie and say you have five years of experience when you really have two. Nor should you fully disclose your inadequacies. If you left your last job because you were fired, there’s no need to bring that up.When the employer asks you about your biggest mistake, pick a lessemotionally charged experience and emphasize what you learned from it.
既對(duì)又不對(duì)。如果你只有兩年的經(jīng)驗(yàn),你就不應(yīng)該撒謊說(shuō)有五年。但也不應(yīng)該揭自己的短。如果你離開(kāi)上一份工作是因?yàn)楸怀戳耍筒恍枰崞疬@件事。當(dāng)雇主問(wèn)起你最大的錯(cuò)誤,挑一個(gè)不那么糟糕的經(jīng)歷并且強(qiáng)調(diào)自己從中學(xué)到了什么。
5. A job interview is a one-direction conversation, like on a talk show.
5.工作面試是單向的談話(huà),像脫口秀一樣。
False. Having a one-sided interview can be exhausting for both parties. Make sure to prepare at least 10 engaging and relevant
questions to ask. Even better, have some questions about their favoritesubject - themselves. An example is, "Tell me about your job and whatyou love about it?"
錯(cuò)誤。單向談話(huà)會(huì)讓雙方都感到精疲力盡。提前準(zhǔn)備好十個(gè)有質(zhì)量和工作相關(guān)性強(qiáng)的問(wèn)題。最好是能問(wèn)到他們最喜歡的話(huà)題。比如說(shuō),“跟我說(shuō)說(shuō)你的工作和你喜歡這份工作什么地方吧�!�
6. Interviewers are like dogs; they can smell my fear.
6.面試官像狗一樣能很靈敏的嗅到我的恐懼。
True. Interviewing is the quintessential example of dogs sniffing each other out. Like a dog, the interviewer will be trying to determine your overall
confidence. Your body language indicates your level of self-esteem.Remember, a shaking leg or deer-in-headlights expression can mattermore than how well you answer the questions.
正確。面試最令人叫絕的比喻就是狗如何嗅出他們的同類(lèi)。像一只狗一樣,面試官將努力確定你全身上下都很自信。你的身體語(yǔ)言能暗示出你自尊的程度。記住,一條抖動(dòng)的腿或者呆若木雞的表達(dá)比你完美的回答占的份量更重。
7. The "real me" will shine through whether I’m dressed in pajamas or a suit.
7.不管我穿的是睡衣還是套裝,是金子總會(huì)發(fā)光。
False.Whether we like it or not, what we wear helps form a first impression.Before the interview, see if you can get some insider information onthe dress code and whether it is more casual or formal. If you don’tknow, opt for formal. For women, remember it’s about getting a job, nota date. Stay away from low cut or short anything.
錯(cuò)誤。不管我們是否喜歡,我們穿什么的確有助于形成第一印象。在面試前,最好試試能不能得到一些服裝方面內(nèi)部消息,是偏向休閑還是正式。如果你不知道,選擇正式。對(duì)于女性來(lái)說(shuō),記住這是找份工作,不是去約會(huì)。離那些低胸裝或者超短的東西遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn)。
8. Sending a thank you note is an important way of standing out.
8.發(fā)一個(gè)感謝的字條是脫穎而出的重要方法。
True. Thank you notes are not only about good etiquette but self-marketing, too. How can a simple card help you seal the deal?Start by mentioning something you learned about your interviewer. Youcould say, "I really enjoyed our conversation about your first years atBoeing." Then, write a quick summary of the conversation and why youare perfect for the job.
正確。感謝字條不僅僅是一種禮貌也是一種自我營(yíng)銷(xiāo)。一張簡(jiǎn)單的卡片怎么能幫你搞定呢?以寫(xiě)下你從面試官那里學(xué)到什么開(kāi)始吧。你可以說(shuō),“很高興能和你聊到你在波音公司的那些日子。”然后,寫(xiě)一個(gè)談話(huà)的快速摘要以及為什么你非常適合這份工作。
9. Making demands for your ideal salary and vacation in the initial interview is a risky proposition.
9.在最初的面試中提出你對(duì)理想的薪水和休假的要求是個(gè)冒險(xiǎn)的主意。
True. While you are aching to know the starting salary and benefits right off the bat, it’s a bit risky to ask these types of questions initially. Reserve negotiations on these matters until you have a job offer.
正確。即使你渴望馬上知道工作的底薪和福利,在最初的面試中問(wèn)這類(lèi)的問(wèn)題也有點(diǎn)冒險(xiǎn)。把這些問(wèn)題留到你拿到工作的offer時(shí)再協(xié)商吧。
10. It doesn’t matter if I’m five minutes late. Everyone runs late to interviews.
10.我遲到五分鐘沒(méi)關(guān)系。每個(gè)人面試都可能遲到。
False.It’s OK for your interviewer to be late, but the interviewee needs tobe on time or 5-10 minutes early. Even if you have a good reason forbeing late, the interviewer will make assumptions about your level of organization and how you treat others. Plus, getting there early gives you time to compose yourself and shake off your coffee jitters.
錯(cuò)誤。你的面試官遲到無(wú)所謂,但是你需要準(zhǔn)時(shí)或者提前5-10分鐘。即使你有一個(gè)遲到的好理由,面試官也會(huì)對(duì)你的組織紀(jì)律和你對(duì)待其他人的方式做出一些假設(shè)。除此之外,提前到也會(huì)給你時(shí)間鎮(zhèn)定自己擺脫咖啡帶來(lái)的神經(jīng)過(guò)敏。
