1. Analyze the Job
分析工作
An important part of interview preparation is to take the time to analyze the job posting, or job description, if you have it. As you review the job post, consider what the company is seeking in a candidate.
面試前，需要花點(diǎn)時(shí)間分析看看職位發(fā)布，看看職位介紹，并看看公司到底想招怎樣的人。

Make a list of the skills, knowledge, and professional and personal qualities that are required by the employer and are critical for success in the job.

2. Make a Match
了解個(gè)人和公司匹配度
When you have created a list of the qualifications for the job, make a list of your assets and match them to the job requirements.
列出雇主期待技能表格后，再列出一張表格，寫(xiě)明你擁有的技能，然后做對(duì)比比較。
?
Create a list of up to 10 assets, including skills, certifications, experiences, professional qualifications and abilities, computer skills, and knowledge bases and have it at the ready to share with the interviewer. Be sure your assets correlate directly with the skills and abilities required by the company.
個(gè)人特長(zhǎng)特表至少要包含10項(xiàng)內(nèi)容，包括技能，證書(shū)，經(jīng)驗(yàn)，專(zhuān)業(yè)資格和能力，計(jì)算機(jī)技能，知識(shí)庫(kù)，并做好準(zhǔn)備講給面試官聽(tīng)。一定要保證你的個(gè)人特長(zhǎng)和公司所需的技能和能力直接相關(guān)。
?
Review your list, and the job requirements, prior to the interview so you're prepared to share them during the interview.
面試前，看看你的個(gè)人特長(zhǎng)列表，再和職位要求做比較。
?
This preparation will help you be ready to answer job-specific interview questions designed to determine if you have the knowledge and skills needed to perform the job.
提前做好這樣的準(zhǔn)備，那么在面試的時(shí)候，面試官問(wèn)你是否具有工作需要的相關(guān)技能時(shí)，能夠從容不迫。
?
3. Research the Company
了解公司
Before you go on a job interview, it's important to find out as much as you can about the company. Company research is a critical part of interview preparation. It will help you prepare to both answer interview questions and to ask the interviewer questions. You will also be able to find out whether the company and the company culture are a good fit for you.
面試之前，你需要多多了解公司，這是面試準(zhǔn)備的關(guān)鍵部分。它將幫助你準(zhǔn)備回答面試題目以及面試官提出的問(wèn)題。你還能弄明白這個(gè)公司，公司文化是否和自身相契合。
?
Take some time, in advance, to discover as much information as you can about the company. Spend time, as well, tapping into your network to see if you know someone who can help give you an interview edge over the other candidates.
提前花點(diǎn)時(shí)間，多多了解公司。看看你的人脈關(guān)系網(wǎng)里，有沒(méi)有人對(duì)你面試有幫助，讓你比其他候選人表現(xiàn)得更有優(yōu)勢(shì)。
?
4. Practice Interviewing
練習(xí)面試
Taking the time to practice answering the interview questions you will probably be asked during a job interview will help give you a framework for your responses and will also help calm your nerves, because you won't be scrambling for an answer while you're in the interview hot seat.
花點(diǎn)時(shí)間練習(xí)可能會(huì)被面試官問(wèn)到的問(wèn)題，這樣回答的時(shí)候，心里會(huì)有個(gè)框架，知道怎么應(yīng)答，也會(huì)讓你冷靜下來(lái)，而不會(huì)被問(wèn)到相關(guān)問(wèn)題時(shí)，急迫地在腦海中搜尋答案。
?
Practice interviewing with a friend or family member ahead of time and it will be much easier when you're actually in a job interview.

?
5. Get Your Interview Clothes Ready
準(zhǔn)備好面試服裝
Don't wait until the last minute to make sure your interview clothes are ready. Have an interview outfit ready to wear at all times, so you don't have to think about what you're going to wear while you're scrambling to get ready for a job interview.
不要等到最后一分鐘才理清楚面試時(shí)候應(yīng)該穿什么，準(zhǔn)備好一套面試套裝吧，這樣不至于面試前急忙找衣服穿。
?
Regardless of the type of job you're interviewing for, that first impression should be a great one. When dressing for an interview for a professional position, dress accordingly in business attire.
不管面試怎樣的工作，第一印象都非常關(guān)鍵。如果是面試專(zhuān)業(yè)性比較強(qiáng)的崗位，最好還是穿商務(wù)套裝。
?
If you're applying for a job in a more casual environment, a store or restaurant, for example, it's still important to be neat, tidy, and well-groomed, and to present a positive image to the employer.
如果面試的崗位工作環(huán)境比較放松，比如商店或者餐館，要保持干凈，整潔，給雇主留下一個(gè)正面的印象吧。
?
6. Decide What to Do With Your Hair
服裝發(fā)型搭配
How you style your hair for a job interview is almost as important as the interview clothes you wear. After all, the interviewer is going to notice everything about you—including your interview attire, hairstyle and makeup—and you only have seconds to make a great impression.
在面試中，發(fā)型和服裝一樣重要。因?yàn)?，面試官?huì)注意到你身上的一切，包括面試服裝，發(fā)型和化妝，而你給別人留下好印象只有幾秒鐘的時(shí)間機(jī)會(huì)。
?
7. What to Bring to a Job Interview？
面試帶什么？
It's important to know what to bring to a job interview—a portfolio with extra copies of your resume, a list of references, and a list of questions ask the interviewer.?It's also important what not to bring—your cellphone, a cup of coffee, gum, or anything else other than yourself and your credentials.
你要知道面試需要帶哪些東西，可以帶幾份你的個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷，推薦信，再想想要問(wèn)面試官哪些問(wèn)題。同時(shí)也要清楚哪些東西不能帶，比如手機(jī)，咖啡，口香糖，總之除了你自己，還有個(gè)人證件外，其他東西都不需要。
?
8. Practice Interview Etiquette
注意面試禮儀
Proper interview etiquette is important. Remember to greet the receptionist, your interviewer, and everyone else you meet politely, pleasantly, and enthusiastically.
恰當(dāng)?shù)拿嬖嚩Y儀十分關(guān)鍵。記住禮貌、熱情、愉快地問(wèn)候前臺(tái)、面試官、還有其他見(jiàn)到的人。
?
During the interview watch your body language—shake hands firmly and make eye contact as you articulate your points.
在面試過(guò)程中，注意身體語(yǔ)言，比如握手要有力，向面試官闡釋觀點(diǎn)時(shí)，要有眼神交流。
?
Relax and lean forward a little towards the interviewer so you appear interested and engaged. Don't lean back or slump in your chair. You will look too casual and relaxed. Keep your feet on the floor and your back against the lower back of the chair. Pay attention, be attentive and look interested.
面試時(shí)適度放松，前傾，這樣讓你看起來(lái)對(duì)這份工作很感興趣，想入投入其中。不要向后癱坐在椅子上，這樣看起來(lái)很漫不經(jīng)心、很隨意。把腳放在地板上，背部輕輕倚靠在椅子下背。注意，保持專(zhuān)注，保持感興趣的樣子。
?
9. Listen and Ask Questions
傾聽(tīng)，問(wèn)問(wèn)題
During a job interview, listening is just as important as answering questions. If you're not paying attention, you're not going to be able to give a good response.
在面試中，聆聽(tīng)和回答問(wèn)題一樣重要。如果你沒(méi)有集中精力，就沒(méi)法很好地應(yīng)答。
?
Be ready to engage the interviewer. You want there to be a give and take type of conversation, so you're building a relationship with the interviewer rather than just providing rote responses to questions. Have questions of your own ready to ask the interviewer.
和面試官做互動(dòng)。如果你和面試官有問(wèn)答互動(dòng)，那么就和面試官建立起來(lái)一種聯(lián)系，而不僅僅是機(jī)械回答問(wèn)題。所以，提前想一些可以問(wèn)面試官的問(wèn)題吧。
?
Towards the end of the interview let the recruiter know that you believe the job is an excellent fit and that you are highly interested.
面試快結(jié)束時(shí)，讓面試官相信你很適合這份工作，你對(duì)這份工作有高度的熱情。
?
10. Follow Up With a Thank You Note
面試結(jié)束，附上感謝信
Follow up a job interview with a thank you note reiterating your interest in the job.
面試結(jié)束后，附上感謝信，重申你對(duì)這份工作的興趣。
?
Consider your thank you letter a follow-up "sales" letters. Restate why you want the job, what your qualifications are, how you might make significant contributions, and so on.
把感謝信當(dāng)做“自我銷(xiāo)售”信吧。再次表明你想要得到這份工作，你自身的素質(zhì)，你能給公司帶來(lái)怎樣的收益等等。
?
This thank you letter is also the perfect opportunity to discuss anything of importance that your interviewer neglected to ask or that you neglected to answer as thoroughly.
同時(shí)如果面試時(shí)候有問(wèn)題忘記問(wèn)了，或者沒(méi)能清楚闡明某些觀點(diǎn)，感謝信也是很好的彌補(bǔ)機(jī)會(huì)。
