Knowing when to stop talking is a skill all successful interviewees have.
不知道答案的搪塞
I have to be honest and say that this is not an area I’m familiar
with, though I am very interested in it. If you like, I’m happy
to have a go at trying to address the issue, as long as you’re
not expecting the perfect answer.
Or:
I’d love to answer that question, but I need to be honest
upfront and say that this is not an area that I’m overly familiar
with, though I’m very interested in increasing my knowledge
about it.
仪表：
Good looks are certainly overrated in interviews, but an
appropriate appearance and a friendly personality are not.
大声练习
Practising your answers aloud
It is important to practise your answers aloud, rather than just mentally rehearsing them. That’s because the human brain distinguishes between talking and thinking and you need to stimulate the talking part of your brain. Thinking your answers at an interview
will get you nowhere, unless the interviewer is a mind reader. Interviews are more than just giving technically correct answers. They’re also very much about building rapport.
It’s better to be honest and admit ignorance than try to pretend you know an answer and come across as disingenuous and less than bright. • Interviews are formal occasions requiring relatively formal behaviours. Interviewers will expect this and may react negatively if they don’t
see it.
• Interviewers do not spend all their time looking for your flaws. They’re more interested in getting an overall picture of who you are. Avoid answering questions defensively. It’s much better to see every question as an opportunity to highlight your best points.
• Because of their nature, interviews are inherently challengi ng. Making mistakes at an interview is something that everyone does. The good
20 interview skills that win the job
news is that we can overcome our errors by correct preparation, practice and perseverance.
• Beware of faulty preparation. Avoid rote learning of other people’s answers. Always prepare your own.
• Knowing what employers want to hear at an interview constitutes a great start for preparing your own answers and simplifies interview preparation. What most employers want to hear can be represented
by three key questions:
– Can you do the job?
– Are you the sort of person they can work with?
– How motivated are you?

• Beware of long-winded answers.
• The most effective way of putting together the information you capture using the four steps is to pose to yourself hypothetical interview questions and then answer them out loud until you become fluent.
• A good interview answer will generally contain the following points:– a context;
– specific examples;
– what you did and how you did it;
– outcomes;
– it will get directly to the point.
can you do the job?
There is often no one single answer (nor one right answer) about
how duties are performed. We all come from different work backgrounds and bring with us different ways of doing things. Building rapport and trust requires three things: answering questions intelligently and honestly; ensuring all your non-verbal communication (body language and personal appearance) does not give cause for apprehension in the interviewer; and conforming to acceptable interview behaviours, such as never arguing.
• Be aware of first and last impressions—people tend to better remember what happens at the beginning and end of any interaction, including interviews. Smiling, using appropriate facial expressions and nodding your head at the right time all give a positive impression.
Remember the key do’s and don’t’s: give credit where it’s due and avoid criticising others, including previous bosses; use positive statements but avoid big-noting yourself; mention any shortcomings
or hurdles you’ve overcome but avoid embellishments.
• When negoti ating your salary, do your research first—don’t undersell yourself, but be realistic in what you ask for. Avoid discussing money before you’ve highlighted what you can bring to the company.
• In panel interviews, make sure you familiarise yourself with everyone’s name. In group interviews, be pro-active in demonstrating behaviours the interviewers are looking for.
Unlike exams, where lots of accurate detail is important, interviews are more about interacting and rapport building whilst simultaneously articulating smart answers.
Here are some common interview mistakes:
• Failing to express oneself clearly.
• Not being aware of one’s body language.
• Failing to control those nerves.
• Failing to give appropriate examples.
• Trying too hard to please the int erviewer.
别人是最合适的，不要轻易放弃。

Don’t automatically pull out of applying for a job if you know
someone better suited for the job is also applying for it. If you
go to the trouble of preparing properly for the interview, there’s
a good chance that you may be seen as the preferred candidate—
especially if the other person takes the interview for granted and
fails to prepare.
