How do you feel about job interviews? I'm neverready for them no matter how I prepare. In myattempts to impress my prospective employers Iend up talking too much and losing my train ofthought.
Sometimes they ask difficult questions like: "Where do you see yourself in five years?" Thesedays everything happens so fast that I can hardly think where I'll be even two years from now!
But I can count myself lucky. One man in Cardiff had to dance during his interview for a job asa shop assistant at an electronics superstore. He felt embarrassed, complained, and the storyended up in the newspapers. The company apologised and invited him to do a new interview.He declined.
Experts say that companies receive too many CVs nowadays and that their interview panelshave too many candidates to talk to. So some are trying unorthodox ways to see who standsout.
Some interviewers might unsettle you by criticising your CV. Simon Mitchell, of leadershipconsultants DDI, says: "The interviewer will put you under pressure to see how you react.Once you see that it is what they are driving at, try to keep calm."
So: control your nerves, research the company you want to work for, think about specificexamples of things you've achieved in previous organisations and be prepared to saysomething intelligent when confronted with the question: "What is your biggest fault?"
My friend Jamal came up with a great answer which he said worked for him: "I tend to be aworkaholic."
My grandmother has some advice too. She says: "Tell them you are too giving and offer themsome sweets from your bag. This will ensure you leave a lasting impression. They will thinkyou're sweet and you'll get the job!"
What about you: would you follow Jamal's advice or my grandmother's?

关于求职面试你有何感想？我觉得无论如何准备都不够。我试图给未来的雇主留下深刻印象，最终却说得太多，思绪混乱。
有时他们会问许多困难的问题，例如：“你五年内对自己有什么规划？”当今社会瞬息万变，我甚至想象不出两年后是什么情景。
但是我算是运气好的。加的夫一名男子在应聘电子设备超级商场的商铺助理时被要求跳舞。他感到非常尴尬，投诉了该商场，这个故事在报纸上曝光。该公司做出道歉，邀请他重新进行面试。这名男子拒绝了邀请。
专家表示，现在许多公司每天收到很多简历，他们的面试小组必须与很多应聘者面谈。所以一些公司开始尝试非正统的方法，看一下谁可以脱颖而出。
一些面试者会批评你的简历，让你感到不安。DDI人力资源咨询公司领导Simon Mitchell表示：“面试者会让你面临压力，看你如何反应。一旦你了解了他们的用意，努力保持冷静。”
所以，控制你的神经，调研你想要就职的公司，考虑你在以前的公司获得的一些具体的经验教训，考虑好睿智的答案应对诸如这样的问题：“你最大的缺点是什么？”
我的朋友Jamal想到了一个对他来说很奏效的答案：“我有工作狂倾向。”
我的祖母也有一些建议。她说：“告诉他们你喜欢给予，从你的袋子里拿点糖果给他们。这样能让你给他们留下持久的印象。他们会认为你很甜美，你一定或获得这份工作。”
你呢？你会采纳Jamal的建议还是我的祖母的建议？
