You have just landed an interview for a seemingly wonderful job! Now what? Successful interviewing will be essential in order for you to lock in an offer. Here are some tips and strategies for effective interviewing from preparation through follow up.

　　你剛剛得到了一份看起來(lái)很好的工作的面試機(jī)會(huì)?現(xiàn)在該怎么做呢?成功的面試是得到工作的必須條件.以下是得到面試機(jī)會(huì)后從準(zhǔn)備到后續(xù)跟進(jìn)的一些策略和技巧.

　　Company Research

　　公司調(diào)查

　　Research should always be your first step. Gathering background information on employers is a crucial element in successful interview preparation. You will need to be prepared to answer the questions "What do your know about our company"? and "Why do you want to work here?" Knowing as much as possible about the company's past performance and future plans can make your interview more interactive and could be just the leg up you need in a competitive job market. Before the interview review the company's web site and don't be afraid to contact your prospective employer to request details on the position you are interviewing for or to ask for company literature. Google the company to see what other information is available online.

　　調(diào)查始終應(yīng)該是你的第一步.收集雇主的背景資料是成功面試準(zhǔn)備的必備步驟.你要為"你對(duì)我們公司有哪些了解"以及"你為什么想在我們公司工作"這樣的問(wèn)題做準(zhǔn)備.盡可盡可能多的了解公司過(guò)去的歷史以及將來(lái)的計(jì)劃能讓你在面試中的表現(xiàn)更加活躍,與雇主有更多的互動(dòng),也可以讓你在激烈競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的求職市場(chǎng)上占上風(fēng).在面試之前,瀏覽一下該公司的網(wǎng)站,并且要主動(dòng)和你將來(lái)的上司聯(lián)系,向他打聽(tīng)你所面試職位的相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)問(wèn)題,或者公司的文化.在谷歌上面搜索看看網(wǎng)絡(luò)上還有沒(méi)有其他關(guān)于該公司的信息.

　　Practice Makes Perfect

　　熟能生巧

　　Practice makes perfect (or at least leads to improvement). Practice with a friend and record or videotape your responses so you can replay the interview and see how well you did. Prepare answers to commonly asked interview questions. Doing so will help you analyze your background and qualifications for the position.

　　熟能生巧(或者至少能有一定的進(jìn)步).和一個(gè)朋友一起練習(xí),將過(guò)程錄下來(lái),這樣你就可以反復(fù)播放你在該練習(xí)過(guò)程中的反應(yīng),看看自己表現(xiàn)如何.為一般面試中常出現(xiàn)的問(wèn)題做準(zhǔn)備.這樣做可以幫助自己分析你所求職職位的背景和合格條件.

　　Behavioral Interviews

　　行為面試

　　Behavior based interviewing is becoming more common. It is based on the premise that a candidates past performance is the best predictor of future performance. Rather than the typical interview questions on your background and experience, you will need to be prepared to provide detailed responses including specific examples of your work experiences.

　　以行為為基礎(chǔ)的面試越來(lái)越普遍了.它的理論基礎(chǔ)是一個(gè)人過(guò)去的業(yè)績(jī)能夠很好的預(yù)測(cè)將來(lái)的表現(xiàn).不是簡(jiǎn)單問(wèn)你的背景和經(jīng)驗(yàn),而是要你詳細(xì)的回答這些問(wèn)題,包括能夠證明你工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的具體的例子.

　　The best way to prepare is to think of examples where you have successfully used the skills you've acquired. Take the time to compile a list of responses to both types of questions and to itemize your skills, values, and interests as well as your strengths and weaknesses. Emphasize what you can do to benefit the company rather than just what you are interested in. Also prepare a list of questions you want to ask the interviewer. Remember, you aren't simply trying to get the job - you are also interviewing the employer to assess whether this company and the position are a good fit for you.

　　最好的準(zhǔn)備方式是,想一想你以前成功的運(yùn)用這些必備技能的事例.花時(shí)間寫(xiě)一份表格,上面寫(xiě)好相關(guān)問(wèn)題,及自己技能、價(jià)值、興趣、優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)的詳細(xì)說(shuō)明.將重點(diǎn)放在強(qiáng)調(diào)你能為公司創(chuàng)造什么樣的價(jià)值而不是你對(duì)該職位感興趣.也要準(zhǔn)備好一份清單,上面列好你準(zhǔn)備提問(wèn)面試官的問(wèn)題.記住,你不只是單單想得到這份工作而已,你也在面試雇主,以此來(lái)評(píng)估這家公司和該職位是否適合你.

　　Prepare For the Interview

　　為面試做準(zhǔn)備

　　It is very important to be on time for the interview. On time means ten to fifteen minutes early. If need be, take some time to drive to the office ahead of time so you know exactly where you are going. Know the interviewer's name and use it during the interview. If your not sure of the name, call and ask prior to the interview. Remember to bring an extra copy of your resume and a list of references.

　　準(zhǔn)時(shí)對(duì)面試來(lái)說(shuō)是很重要的.準(zhǔn)時(shí)意味著早到十五分鐘.如果有需要的話(huà),提前花時(shí)間開(kāi)車(chē)去辦公室熟悉下環(huán)境.要記住面試官的名字,在面試時(shí)用名字稱(chēng)呼.如果你不確定,在面試之前打電話(huà)問(wèn)問(wèn).記住,多帶一份簡(jiǎn)歷,以及參考清單.

　　Stay Calm

　　保持鎮(zhèn)定

　　During the interview try to remain as calm as possible. Ask for clarification if you're not sure what's been asked and remember that it is perfectly acceptable to take a moment or two to frame your responses so you can be sure too fully answer the question.

　　在面試中,要盡可能保持鎮(zhèn)靜.如果你沒(méi)聽(tīng)清楚問(wèn)的問(wèn)題,就再問(wèn)一次來(lái)確認(rèn),記住,花一點(diǎn)時(shí)間來(lái)整理下自己的回答是最好的,這樣你能保證全面的回答問(wèn)題.

　　End the interview with a thank you to the interviewer and reiterate your interest in the position. Then follow-up with a personal Thank You note restating your interest.

　　在面試結(jié)束后,向面試官表達(dá)感謝,并重申你對(duì)這個(gè)職位的興趣.在這之后可以寫(xiě)一封感謝信來(lái)再次表達(dá)你的興趣.
