7個錯毀了你的面試 連自己都不知道

Congratulations! You have finally landed a job interview with one of the top companies on your target 's exciting, now don't screw it up.
恭喜你！你終於能夠得到一家理想的公司的面試機會了，實在是太激動了，但不要毀了這次機會！

Don't ever fool yourself into thinking that interview mistakes are just for the inexperienced, early-in-career job candidates.
別天真地認爲面試中的犯錯誤只是職場菜鳥的通病。

We know that first impressions count, so how about making your first impression stand out on your next job interview?
我們都知道留下第一印象很重要，那麼怎樣才能給自己的留下深刻第一印象，脫穎而出呢？

1) Giving long-winded, rambling answers
1）回答囉嗦乏味。

This is one area I warn my clients about over and over again. Listen carefully to the question, focus on about 3 key points in your answer and then stop talking. Avoid getting nervous just because there is silence or little response from the interviewer(s).
這也是筆者一次又一次提醒面試者的要點。認真聽取問題，把回答的要點凝練成3點就足夠了。不要因爲面試官的沉默寡言而驚慌。

2) Criticizing your current or former employer
2）批判當前或前任老闆。

Regardless of how negative or disappointing your career experience is or has been with an employer, be diligent about giving the interviewer highlights of your work, career achievements and contributions.
無論你對目前或之前的工作或老闆有多麼失望，在面試中你應當勤快地強調你的工作內容，職業成就和所作的貢獻。

3) Providing generic responses without real substance
3）泛泛而談，毫無實例。

Saying to an interviewer, "I am a great leader who gets the job done" or "I am known for being a good team player" is like saying nothing at all. Practice giving answers that give specific examples or point to supporting evidence about your strengths and areas of expertise; incorporating the C-A-R strategy can make a huge difference.
跟面試官說，“我是一名能夠順利完成任務的好領導。”或“我因爲良好的團隊合作精神而受歡迎。”其實說了等於沒說。鍛鍊自己回答的能力，在回答時提出具體的例子或證據支撐你的長處或專業技能，結合C-A-R策略的確能夠造成很大的差別。

4) Knowing very little about a prospective employer
4) 對潛在僱主瞭解甚少。

We have so much access to information today, so you have no excuse for being unprepared in an interview. Check out the company's website and annual reports, search for recent press releases and use Google alerts to learn about any recent company changes. Leverage your LinkedIn contacts to learn any insider tips that may prove valuable in the interview.
如今我們接觸信息的渠道多不勝數，所以我們就毫無理由說自己沒有準備好面試。查看公司的網站和年度報告，搜索關於最新的出版物以及Google關注瞭解最新的公司動態。利用領英聯繫人應用去了解更多內部資料，也許對你的面試很有幫助。

5) Failing to ask quality questions during the interview
5）面試中不會問有實質性的問題。

Too many job-seekers focus on impressing the interviewer, but overlook the fact that the prospective employer should impress you as well. Think carefully about what you need to know before making a final decision if an offer is extended to you.
太多的面試者忙於給面試官留下印象，卻忘了你也應該讓潛在僱主也給你留下印象。若你被賦予後續的面試機會，那麼在做最後決定的時候，要認真想想你應該知道的東西有哪些。

They are interviewing you and you are interviewing them. Here are a few easy questions to start with and feel free to come up with a few of your own:
他們在面試你的同時你也在面試他們。下面有一些很簡單的開場問題，你也可以隨心想到一些問題對面試官進行提問：

-- Who will I be reporting to directly?
--我應該向誰進行直接彙報？

-- Are there growth opportunities through this position?
-- 這個職位是否有發展前景？

-- How many people have held this position in the past year?
--去年有多少人在這個職位？

-- What are the business challenges that your company/division is currently facing?
--你們公司/分公司正面臨什麼樣的商業挑戰？

When I am conducting interview coaching with my clients, I often get the "canned", predictable interview answers. Nothing is wrong with following interviewing guidelines, but remember to bring YOU to the interview.
當筆者與面試者進行面試的時候，我得到的都是“罐頭答案”——規規矩矩的答案。參考面試參考並沒有錯，但請記住把“自己”也帶上了。

Respond to questions in your own voice, let your personality shine through, smile and be yourself.
回答問題的時候用自己真實的聲音，讓你的個性更張揚，微笑做自己。

7) Being unenthusiastic and lethargic in the interview
7）對面試毫無激情，死氣沉沉。

Whether you have been interviewing for several months or this is the first fruit of your job search efforts, check your disappointment, disillusion and fear at the door and bring you best foot forward.
無論你已經參加了好幾個月的面試，還是這是你的第一次初嘗職場碩果，在進入面試前調整失落，絕望和恐懼的心態，以最佳姿態出現在面試官面前。

More likely than not, you will go on a series of interviews and go through a lot of "no's" before you get a job offer. However, be energetic, excited, enthusiastic and optimistic as much as you can each and every time.
同時很有可能，在得到工作機會前，你經歷了一連串的面試以及承受一連串的拒絕。無論如何，每次參加面試都應保持精力充沛，活力四射，激情洋溢以及樂觀積極的狀態。

I know that this is not an easy task, so what strategies do you use to stay motivated and positive during interview after interview?
筆者知道這並不是一件容易的事情，那麼你會採取什麼方法讓自己在面試中和麪試後保持動力和積極向上呢？
