大家都知道第一印象很重要。 美國人雖然很講效益，但和人第一次見面時，往往會先問一些無關緊要的問題。這叫做"Breaking the ice"（establish a rapport ）。 The interviewer might ask you something like:? 工作面試時也一樣。一見面： "How are you today?" "Did you have any trouble finding this place?" "How did you get here?"...? 你不要爲"interviewer" 那麼友好的問話和語調感到吃驚。The interviewer wants to put you at ease （help you relax）。 So you just answer the question without going into too much detail.？ The most important part最重要的： 面試時，最重要的部分是談你的"experience and qualifications". 所以當interviewer和你寒暄時，你可不要扯遠了。 Qualifications： include your education from High School on and any special training you may have done in the past. Experience is any work that you have done that is directly or indirectly related to the job you are applying for.? Talk about your education談你接受的教育： 因爲你要談的教育發生在過去，所以記住了要use past tenses. For example： "I attended the University of New York from 1992 to 1996." "I graduated with a degree in social science"... 如果你目前還是個學生，那麼應該使用present tenses： For example： "I am currently studying at the University of New York and will graduate with a degree in computer science in this fall." or "I am studying English at City College of New York."...? 當談你受的教育時，可別忘了提起你參加過的培訓，得到過的證書和選過的一些和這份工作有關的課程。譬如computer training， correspondence courses， CCNP Certificate等等。 因爲英語不是你的母語，而你的工作要求你會英語，那麼你還得特別提到你的英語嫺熟程度或告訴對方你是如何在這方面做努力的。
