面試前必備的“裝備”!
在面試前，有幾件事你可以準備起來，最大化自己得到工作的機會。
對這個公司和這份工作做一次徹底的研究。瞭解這個組織的規模、歷史和聲譽。你可以上這個公司的官網瞭解或是在當地圖書館找些資料。如果你認識在那裏工作的人，那會是更好的信息來源。在面試時可能不會問到此類問題，但是這些信息能幫你更瞭解這個公司。確保你能拿到自己申請的職位的詳細工作職責描述，這樣才能把你自己的技巧和工作所需的對應起來。想想自己以前的經驗如何與你申請的職位吻合。儘量去了解面試會如何組織。比如，你大可以問面試會進行多長時間，這不會顯得自己不禮貌、而會讓對方覺得你對面試很上心。一旦你知道面試時間，你就可以爲如何把握面試節奏做準備，想想哪些是你在面試中一定想要表達的點。注意：不要在面試後安排任何時間很近的事兒。你總不想面試時慌慌張張的吧？另外，指不準面試時間又延長了呢？
試着搞清楚那天面試你的會是誰，然後在公司網站上查找一些他/她的資料。如果順利的話，你可能可以瞭解對方的喜好，以及他/她在公司具體做什麼工作？你面試的公司可能對着裝也有些要求。具體穿什麼也要看你的僱主或是行業，但總的說來，穿正式點兒同時穿的舒服點絕對沒錯。作爲男士應該穿西裝、系領帶。最好能剪個清爽的頭型、剃乾淨鬍子，不要嚼口香糖、不要抽菸。除非你結婚了要帶上戒指之外，其他所有的耳釘、紋身統統藏起來！作爲女士，記得穿夾克、褲子、或是西裝套裙。不要穿休閒型的裙裝。化淡妝，每隻手上的戒指不要超過一個。總的說來就是不要穿顏色過於俗豔的衣服，那會分散面試官的注意力。
事前先想想：“我會被問到什麼樣的問題，我要怎麼回答？”當然面試的問題成千上萬，不過你對這個公司所做的調查應該能讓你知道對方想找什麼樣的人。即便你事前準備的問題沒有被問到，準備的過程也能給你信心。同時，你也應該準備一些聰明的問題來問對方。最後找個朋友或是找面鏡子練習。去之前想清楚要帶什麼：多帶幾份簡歷、名片、幾支筆。也許你還需要帶上之前工作的一些作品、證明或是獎項，任何與你現在申請的職位相關的東西。
好好睡一覺，面試當天千萬別遲到。提早到，等的時候保持冷靜。關掉手機。當叫到你的時候，和麪試官目光接觸，介紹自己，鎮定地握手
How to get ready for a job interview
Before your interview, there are some things you can do to maximise your chances of getting the job.
Research the company and the job thoroughly. Get acquainted with the organisation’s size, history and reputation. You could do this online, through the company’s website, or at a local library. If you know someone who works there, he or she would be a good source of information. You may not be asked about this information but it will help you understand the job.
Make sure you have a full job description from the employer so you can match your skills to the job’s requirements. Think about how your previous experience qualifies you and how it compares to the work on n as much as you can about how the interview will be conducted. For example, it is not impolite to ask how long the interview will take; it shows you are serious about the proceedings. Once you know approximately how long it will last, you can prepare how you will pace yourself and which are the most important points you want to make. Make sure you don’t arrange any appointments immediately after the interview. You don’t want to feel rushed and, besides, it might stretch on beyond the specified time.
Try to find out who the interviewer will be and research him or her at the company’s website. Hopefully you will learn something about the interviewer’s general interests and how he or she fits into the company may have a dress code that you’ll need to know about. What is appropriate depends on the particular employer and job but, generally speaking, it is better to dress formally whilst remaining comfortable. Men should dress conservatively with a tie and business suit. A fresh haircut and a shave will help and no chewing gum or cigarettes. Also only wear your wedding ring, if married, take out any earrings and cover any tattoos!Women should avoid wearing a dress but stick to a jacket and skirt or trousers. Keep your make up simple and use no more than one ring on each hand. In general avoid dressing in loud, garish clothes that would prove distracting to the interviewer.
Think about: “What kind of questions am I going to be asked and how am I going to answer them?” There are, of course, hundreds of possible questions but your research into the organisation should have given you some understanding of what they are looking for. Even if you aren’t asked the questions you prepare, the practice will give you confidence. You should also prepare some intelligent questions to ask; then with a friend or, in front of a mirror, practice de what materials you are going to take with you; extra copies of your CV, business cards, notebook and couple of pens. Perhaps you could include samples of your past work, references or any awards you have received that might be relevant.
Go to bed and get a good night’s sleep. On the day of the interview it is very important to be on time, so arrive early. Wait calmly, switch off your mobile phone and, when called, make eye contact with interviewer, introduce yourself and firmly shake his or her hand.
