15. NEVER speak badly about a former employer. 不要說前任雇主的壞話。
If there were problems with previous experiences, try to put your answers in the positive rather than the negative. If you slight a former employer, the interviewer may assume that you will someday do the same to him or her.
如果你有一個(gè)“心碎的過去”，那么盡可能以積極而非消極的方式來描述。如果你貶損前任雇主，那么面試官一定會(huì)認(rèn)為有一天你會(huì)對(duì)他/她做同樣的事兒！
16. Watch your grammar and your manners. 注意你的語法和舉止。
- Employers are interested in candidates who can express themselves properly. Even if you have to slow down to correct yourself -- do it!
- 雇主只對(duì)那些能夠恰當(dāng)表述自己的面試者感興趣。所以，你完全可以放慢語速來保持自己的語言正確性。
- Use slang expressions very sparingly.
- 慎重使用俚語。
- Avoid speaking in a monotone by varying your tone and pitch, however don't overdo it and come across as overly excited or emotional.
- 避免單一的語調(diào)，注意改變語調(diào)與音高。但不要過分；做得過分會(huì)讓人誤解你比較情緒化。
17. Be Prepared to Ask Questions. 做好問問題的準(zhǔn)備。
- Almost all interviewers will ask if you have any questions. You should have at least one that is related to the conversation you have just completed.
- 在面試即將結(jié)束前，幾乎所有的面試官都會(huì)問到你是否有問題要問。你的問題中起碼要有一個(gè)與你和面試官完成的談話內(nèi)容有關(guān)。
- Your questions should be related to details about the company and should be based on the information you learned from the homework you have done.
- 你的問題應(yīng)該與公司運(yùn)營的細(xì)節(jié)相關(guān)聯(lián)，并基于你之前做的功課。
背后的邏輯：通過問問題，表明了
1.你對(duì)于加入他們公司的熱情和期望;
2. 你是飛機(jī)上掛暖瓶---水平（水瓶）高;
18.Use Telephone Interviews. 使用電話面試的方式。
If you are applying for jobs in places in other states/provinces, you can suggest a short telephone interview.
如果你申請(qǐng)的是其他一個(gè)州/省的工作，你可以建議一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)短的電話面試。
背后的邏輯：通過在電話里的初步交談，評(píng)估一下長(zhǎng)途奔襲去參加這個(gè)職位的面試的必要性。
19. Don't expect an immediate job offer. 不要期待立即得到一份錄用通知書。
- Offers usually follow the interview, a few weeks later.
- 錄用通知書通常是在面試幾周后簽發(fā)。
- If you are offered the position on the spot, it is appropriate for you to ask for one or two days to think about the offer before responding.
- 如果你當(dāng)場(chǎng)就得到了錄用，那么也最好這樣說---“我需要一兩天的時(shí)間考慮，之后答復(fù)您”。
20.Be careful with the closing. 要注意面試結(jié)束的方式。
- Do not linger.
- 不要戀戰(zhàn)。
- End quickly and courteously:
- 迅速而有禮貌的結(jié)束。可以這樣說：
- I appreciate the time you’ve given me.
- 感激您的寶貴時(shí)間。
- I’ll look forward to hearing from you.
- 期待您的答復(fù)。
- Smile and give a firm handshake.
- 微笑并有力地握手。
21. Be Yourself! 做你自己！
You do not want to get hired on the basis of something you are not. You want to be hired for who you are!
你總不希望別人根據(jù)對(duì)不真實(shí)的你的認(rèn)識(shí)來雇傭你。表現(xiàn)出你的“真我”吧！
