Conducting an interview in your second language may be quite intimidating. Hopefully after reading this article, your fear can be conquered!
用你的第二語言去面試可能相當(dāng)嚇人。希望讀完這篇文章后，你能戰(zhàn)勝你的恐懼!
Prepare 準(zhǔn)備階段
Prepare for your interview multiple days in advance to reduce that jittery, nervous feeling. Be ready to answer questions about experiences you have had pertaining to your resume. Some of the most common questions employers may ask you include: 在面試前好好準(zhǔn)備幾天，以減少緊張不安的感覺。準(zhǔn)備好回答與簡歷上一些經(jīng)歷相關(guān)的問題。雇主可能會問一些最常見的問題，包括如下：
1. What do you know about our company? 1. 你對我們公司了解多少?
2. Why do you believe we should hire you? DO NOT brag. State why you think you are a good fit for the position. 2.你認(rèn)為我們?yōu)槭裁匆刚埬? 不要夸夸其談，重點說一下為什么你認(rèn)為自己適合這個職位。
3. Why did you leave your last job? NEVER say negative things about your past employer(s), because the new company will think you will say bad things about them when you leave some day! 3.你為什么辭掉上一份工作? 永遠(yuǎn)不要說你前任雇主的壞話，不然你的新公司會認(rèn)為將來在你辭掉這份工作的時候也會說他們的不好!
4. In what ways do you need to improve as an employee? Showing your weaknesses by answering this question is not a weakness! It shows that you can grow as an individual. 4.作為一名雇員，你認(rèn)為需要在哪些方面來提升自己? 在回答這個問題的時候，你要表現(xiàn)出來你的弱點不是一個弱點!相反，你作為一個個體是十分有成長潛力的。
5. Scenario 場景 You will often be given a possible circumstance or situation you may encounter while working at the company. You must clearly describe how you would solve that problem. 面試時考官常常會給你一個在該公司工作中可能會遇到的情形或問題。你必須要清楚地描述出你將如何解決這個問題。 Employers are often more interested in your character rather than your qualifications. There is no need to reiterate the items listed on your resume. 雇主更感興趣的往往是你的性格，而不是你的學(xué)歷。所以沒有必要反復(fù)重申你簡歷上的內(nèi)容。
Your Questions 你的問題
Towards the end of an interview, the interviewer will usually ask “Do you have any questions for us?” 在面試即將結(jié)束時，面試官通常會問“你有什么問題要問我們嗎?”
Be sure to research information about the company through their website, pamphlets, etc. beforehand. This will help you formulate appropriate questions when they ask you if you have questions. 一定要在事先瀏覽公司的'網(wǎng)站、宣傳冊等來研究相關(guān)信息。這對你是十分有幫助的，面試中當(dāng)被問到你是否有疑問時就能迅速想出合適的問題。
For example, while you are researching the company on the web, you may stumble upon information regarding an annual exhibition where a couple of employees must give presentations and represent the company at a booth. With this information, you could ask: 例如，當(dāng)你在網(wǎng)上研究該公司網(wǎng)站時，可能會偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)一些信息，比如在公司年度展會上，一些員工需要發(fā)言或者代表公司在展位上站臺。了解了這些信息，你就可以問：“Who is chosen to represent the company each year? Can I work my way up to becoming a representative? Which topics do these individuals lecture on?” 每一年哪些人會被選中來代表公司?我能爭取做這個代表嗎?他們的個人演講主題都是什么?
Doing your research shows you are ambitious and knowledgeable about the company. It really pays off! 你自己做功課了解公司讓人覺得你對公司是有野心的、有見地的。這是非常值得的!
My students on italki often want to ask this question: “What will my salary be?” AVOID THIS QUESTION. 我在italki上的學(xué)生常常希望問這個問題: 我的薪酬將有多少?請避免這一類的問題。
It makes it look like you only care about the money and not the position. Every employer knows the candidate is eager to know this information. 這種問題會讓人看起來像你只關(guān)心錢而不是職位。事實上每一個雇主都知道他們的應(yīng)試者急切地想知道這方面的信息。
The interviewer should also provide you with a time frame in which you can expect to hear from them about a second interview or if you have received the position. 面試官也應(yīng)該為你提供一個時間窗口，在哪個階段你能收到通知去參加第二輪面試或者你能夠得到這個職位。
Attire 著裝
Dress appropriately! Wear business casual clothing, which often consists of white and black colors. Men and women will often wear black pants with a collared shirt. Men can wear a tie and nicer shoes. Women can wear conservative jewelry and heels. AVOID clothing with holes, t-shirts and jeans. 著裝要得體!商務(wù)休閑裝，大都由黑白兩色。男女應(yīng)試者通常都穿黑色褲子、有領(lǐng)襯衫。男士可以系領(lǐng)帶、穿一雙得體的皮鞋。女士可以戴不招人注目的首飾、穿高跟鞋。注意衣服上不能有洞，避免穿T恤和牛仔褲。
Materials 材料
Even if you have already sent in a CV (cover letter) and resume to your new potential workplace, print off another CV and resume to hand to your future employer when you walk through the door. Be sure to have it neatly placed in a folder for the employer to keep. 即使你在面試前已經(jīng)發(fā)送了一份求職信或者簡歷給你的目標(biāo)企業(yè)，面試時記得打印一份備用，進(jìn)門時遞給雇主。請務(wù)必將它整潔地整齊地放在一個文件夾中以便雇主保管。
Arriving 到達(dá)
It is extremely important to be a few minutes early. You can gather your thoughts and scan the premise while gathering potential questions in your head and inferences about the atmosphere of the workplace. Make eye contact and shake the interviewer’s hand firmly when greeting each other. 早到幾分鐘是極其重要的。在思考潛在問題時，你可以理一下思路，實地查看場地、推斷可能的工作氛圍。在與面試官相互問好的時候要進(jìn)行眼神交流，握手要有力。
The Interview 面試
Please refer to the Prepare and Your Questions sections. Continue to make eye contact. Remain alert and interested throughout the interview. Take detailed notes to show the interviewer you don’t wish to forget anything important! You may ask questions throughout the interview, but only ask at appropriate times. NEVER INTERRUPT.請參閱上述準(zhǔn)備和你的問題這兩部分內(nèi)容。在面試過程中要始終保持眼神交流。同時保持警惕、感興趣的狀態(tài)。做好詳細(xì)的筆記會面試官一個感覺，就是你不想遺漏任何重要的事情!在面試過程中你可以提問題，但一定要在恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r間。切勿打斷面試官的說話。
Leaving ALWAYS thank the interviewer for his or her time. If the interviewer has not mentioned when you are expected to hear follow-up information about your potential position, you may want to ask at this time. 在結(jié)束時一定要向面試官表示感謝。如果你想知道關(guān)于目標(biāo)職位的后續(xù)信息，但面試官并沒有提及，你可以再找個時候問他相關(guān)信息。
Follow-Up 跟進(jìn)
The next day, send a typed letter to the specific person who took the time to speak with you. Thank him or her for taking their time to meet with you. If you prefer to send an e-mail, be sure to write it in a formal manner. 在面試第二天，送一封打印信給騰出時間與你談話的人。向他或者她表示感謝，謝謝他們花時間與你見面。如果你喜歡發(fā)送電子郵件，確保以正式的書面形式書寫。
Remember you are also “interviewing” the company throughout the entire process to see if you want to work for them! Relax, take a deep breath, and be confident. You are a strong candidate for the position; otherwise the company wouldn’t have called you in for an interview! You can do it! Good luck on your interview in English! 記住，在這整個過程中你同時也在“面試”這個公司，看自己是否愿意與他們共事!放輕松，做個深呼吸，要對自己有信心。要相信自己是這個職位的有力候選人，不然公司也不會打電話叫你去面試!要相信自己能做到! 祝你在英語面試中好運!
