第 123 课:Secrets of Success at an Interview 面试成功的决窍-2

If all your questions have been answered during the interview, replay: "I did have several questions, but you have already answered them all." 如果你准备的所有问题在面试过程中都已得到了回答,你可以说:"我刚才确实有一些什么问题要问,但您现在已全部解答过了。"

Do not be afraid to ask for clarification of something that has been said during the interview if you want to be sure what was implied, but do be polite. 如果面试中你想弄明白对方所说的某些话有什么隐含意思,就要请对方说明,不必畏缩,但一定要有礼貌。

Just before you go to the interview, look again at the original advertisement that you answered, any correspondence from your prospective employer, photocopies of your letter of application or application form and your resume. 去面试前,你应把征聘的广告的原件、未来雇主给你的复信、求职书或申请表及个人简历的复印件再看一遍。

Then you will remember what you said and what they want. 然后记住你讲过的话和对方要求什么条件。

This is very important if you have applied for many jobs in a short time as it is easy to become confused and give an impression of inefficiency. 如果你在短时间内应聘好几个工作,这样做就很重要,因为应聘一多就容易搞混,这就给人家留下了工作能力低的印象。

Make sure you know where and when you have to report for the interview. 一定要弄清楚何时何地前去面试。

Go to the building (but not inside the office) a day or two before, if necessary, to find out how long the journey takes and where exactly the place is. 如有必要,可以面试前一两天去看看办公楼,看看要走多远的路程,详细地址在哪儿。

Aim to arrive five or ten minutes early for the actual interview, then you will have a little time in hand and you will not panic if you are delayed. 真正面试时,最好提前五至十分钟赶到;这样中间你就有点时间,万一有所耽搁,也不至恐慌,

You start at a disadvantage if you arrive worried and ten minutes late. 如果慌里慌张地赶去面试,或者迟到了十分钟,那么一开始你就处于不利的境地。

Dress in clean, neat, conservative clothes. Now is NOT the time to experiment with the punk look or (girls) to wear low-cut dresses with miniskirts. Make sure that your shoes, hands and hair (and teeth) are clean and neat. 着装要整洁、传统一些;面试可不是尝试朋克式打扮的时候,也不是上穿袒胸上衣,下身穿超短裙的时候,另外鞋子和头发一定要干干净净。

Have the letter inviting you for an interview ready to show in case there is any difficulty in communication. 带上约你去面试的信,以备双方交流方面有问题时用。
