4 Presentation Hints for a Good Job Interview

準(zhǔn)備一次完美面試的4點(diǎn)陳述小技巧

As the presidential candidates answer endless variations of the same questions in pursuit of the ultimate government job, we can't help but be reminded of our own often-torturousexperiences on job interviews.

為了在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中能夠最后贏得在政府部門的最高機(jī)構(gòu)工作，總統(tǒng)候選人需要就同樣的問題回答出無(wú)盡變化的答案，這使得我們不由想起無(wú)數(shù)次折磨人的面試經(jīng)歷。

If, like the candidates, we could review our performances on tape, what might we see?

如果像總統(tǒng)候選人那樣，我們可以在錄像中看到自己的表現(xiàn)，我們將會(huì)看到什么呢？

Watch and Listen to Yourself

觀察，聆聽你自己

"Verbal fillers are the No. 1 problem," says Randy Bitting, cofounder of InterviewStream, a Web-based service that gives job seekers the chance to tape and watch themselves in mock interviews.

InterviewStream網(wǎng)站專門為求職者提供機(jī)會(huì)讓他們有機(jī)會(huì)錄下自己在模擬面試中的表現(xiàn)，從而仔細(xì)觀察，網(wǎng)站創(chuàng)始人之一Randy Bitting說："口頭的記錄是最大的問題。"

"People are so used to texting and emailing in short phrases that they can get stuck putting together a few complete sentences," he observes. "It's better to opt for silence while you gather your thoughts, especially if you're nervous."

他說："人們習(xí)慣性地在郵件或書寫中運(yùn)用一些簡(jiǎn)單的詞語(yǔ)來(lái)使勁拼湊成一句話，當(dāng)你在思考的時(shí)候，最好保存沉默，尤其是在你很緊張的時(shí)候。"

Of course, nervousness can also generate over-talking. "We have a bar running along the bottom of the screen as you're being recorded to mark the passage of time," Bitting says. "We strongly suggest that respondents limit their answers to two minutes, at most."

當(dāng)然了，緊張也可能引起你說話說個(gè)不停，Bitting 說"我們?cè)谄聊坏牡撞堪惭b了條碼計(jì)時(shí)器，可以記錄你用的時(shí)間。我們強(qiáng)烈推薦求職者的回答最多不超過兩分鐘。"

Watching yourself on tape is also a good way to monitor things like dress -- too much cleavage, too-short cuffs -- and gestures, Bitting adds. "People don't realize how many times they scratch their heads or fliptheir ties."

在錄像上觀察你自己也是一種管理其他事情比如自己衣著的好方法，穿得太暴露了，袖子太短了，也可以注意到你發(fā)言時(shí)的姿態(tài)，Bitting補(bǔ)充說："人們都沒注意到自己在面試中抓了幾次頭發(fā)，或動(dòng)了幾次領(lǐng)帶。"
