8. Don't Exaggerate or Lie. 不要夸張或撒謊。
You might be tempted to embellish your achievements in the interview, but it will come back to haunt you on the job!
在面試中粉飾自己過去所取得的成績也許是一種自然的沖動。但是，如果這樣，你的結局會比較悲慘――你會很快在工作中露出馬腳……
9. Follow the interviewer's lead. 跟隨面試官的思路。
- Don't try to take over the interview. Stick to the main subject at hand, but do not dwell too long on one point.
- 不要試圖在面試中反客為主。跟隨主線索，但不要在一點上談得過多。
- It is better to deal with many questions rather than just one or two in-depth questions, unless that's where the interviewer leads you.
- 回答一兩個深奧的問題不如言簡意賅地回答更多的問題，除非前者是面試官希望的局面。
10. Be prepared for personal questions, even some inappropriate ones. 準備好回答個人問題，甚至是一些不妥當的問題。
Anticipate how you will handle personal questions without blowing your cool. Some interviewers may not be aware of what they can and cannot legally ask you.
面試前考慮一下如何在不被激怒的情況下應對可能被問到的個人問題。一些面試官也許意識不到哪些問題該問或哪些問題不該問。
11. Emphasize the positive. 要積極而真實。
- Be frank and honest, but never apologize for lack of experience or weaknesses.
- 要坦率而誠實，從來不要因為自己的弱點或缺乏經驗而向面試官致歉。
- Your lack of experience has one very positive feature: you do not have to "unlearn" bad habits or different practices learned from previous employers.
- 缺少經驗有一個很大的優勢---你去新的“東家”之后，不需要改掉從前一個“東家”那里學到的壞習慣或不同的工作方法。
12. Wait for an offer to bring up salary. 等候對方來提出工資的問題。
Let the interviewer bring up this subject. Often salary and benefits are not discussed at all on the first interview.
讓面試官提出工資的問題。通常，第一次面試中不會討論工資和福利的事情。
13. Don't be afraid to think before you speak. 考慮好再說。
- Use silence and intentional pause to your advantage. Time is occasionally needed to think and to reflect. The interviewer will respect you for taking a question seriously enough to give it a moment or two of consideration before answering.
- 利用緘默和有意識的停頓。有時候我們需要時間來考慮和深思。花上一點時間來考慮如何作答表明了你的慎重態度，面試官也會尊重你的。
- Breathe and pause before answering a question, this gives you time to react in a considered way and it ensures that the interviewer has finished the question.
- 在回答一個問題之前要呼吸并停頓，這會給你時間斟酌答案，并確保面試官完成了提問。（不要搶話）
14. Emphasize what you can do for the organization. 強調你能為機構做什么。
- Emphasize your transferable skills.
- 強調你的技能。
- Focus on your ability to tackle new situations, your communication skills, interpersonal abilities, analytical thinking talents, and other skills developed while in college or in previous positions.
- 強調你應對新情況、新局勢的能力，你的溝通技巧，人際關系技巧，分析思維能力，以及其他從大學或前任雇主那里學到的技能。
