职场英语：英语面试绝对要重视的那些小事

对不起，交通太捉急了。

计划提前10分钟到达，同样要留出多余时间排除因交通或天气引起的迟到。

You must have a hard copies of your resume with you(the interviewer may ask for an extra to pass on to someone). Slide out of a nice, professional-looking folder.

我以为人力资源部把我的简历给你了。

你必须带上纸质简历(面试官可能会再要一份供别人审阅)。并从一个有质感、专业的文件夹里拿出来。

Carry at least two pens—and make sure in advance that they work.

有笔吗?

至少带上两支笔-提前确认都能写字。

Shut off your phone off before you arrive. The decision not to hire is often made within the first five to fifteen minutes so don’t do anything to undermine your professional aura. Also key: a firm handshake, good eye contact, and no self-pacifying gestures like fluffing your hair.

噢，容我关掉手机。

在入场前就关机。招聘结果往往都是在最初的5-15分钟决定的，所以不要让任何事降低你的专业气场。同样关键：有力地握手，良好的眼神交流，避免一切像捋头发之类的安抚动作。

Rehearse answers to all possible questions in advance. You don’t want to seem unsure of what you want or why you made certain professional choices.

我不太确定，真的...

提前做好准备应对所有可能被问到的问题。你也不想看起来漫无目标或道不出择此职业的原因吧。

Don’t ask personal questions of the interviewer (even if he/she seems really friendly)

你是怎么找到工作的?

不要询问面试官的隐私(无论他/她看起来有多友善)

Never, ever badmouth a previous boss. If the interviewer pumps you about someone who has an awful rep, you could say something like, “I know he has his critics but I learned a lot working there.”

额，我上个老板简直就是个恶魔。

千万，绝对不要说上任老板的坏话。如果面试官问你谁给你留下了深刻的坏印象，你可以这样回答，“我知道他很挑剔，但那份工作却使我获益匪浅。”

They don’t care about your personal life or needs. They want to know you are interested in the job because you are dying to work there. Stress your excitement for the organization and share what you will bring to the position.

我刚离婚，所以急需一份更好的工作。

他们不关心你的私生活或需求。他们只想知道你对这份工作感兴趣是因为你特别渴望在这工作。展现出你对公司的热情以及你能给此职位带来何种利益。

Save these kinds of questions until you are offered the job. Or see what you can learn from the website.

我的假期是怎么安排的?

在得到这份工作前，省掉这些问题。或者从网上看看你能学到什么。

Even if there were moments in your past when you felt clueless, frame things positively. Such as, “I know my grade point average wasn’t strong, but I was really passionate about the work I did with the campus radio station and I threw a great deal of my energy into that.”

过去我不知道想要什么。

即便曾经有段时间你感到前路茫茫，也要积极讲述。例如，“我知道自己的总体成绩不理想，但我对大学电台工作投去了满腔热情，将大部分精力致力于此。”

They want to know you are ready and eager for challenges.

我不想做高要求的工作。

他们想要知道你已充分准备并渴望挑战。

Always come with at least three very smart questions that aren’t likely to be addressed when the interviewer describes the position. And when he/she’s answered all your questions, and then asks, “Anything else?” ask for the business. Say, “Yes, I’d like to conclude by saying how appealing I find the job and how much I’d love to work for you and show you what I can add.”

不，我认为你都回答了。

在面试官介绍完该职位后，通常都应该向对方提出三个意想不到的细微问题。当他/她回答完后，就会问你对于工作“还有别的问题吗?”你要说，“有，我将总结一下该工作对我的吸引力有多大，并且我迫切希望为贵公司效力，尽己所能。”
