In order to increase your chances of landing a great job, you should take
time to define your strategy and prepare your resources. Successful job offers
are direct results of effective planning. A productive interview needs to be
well-researched, planned and implemented. Follow these tips and future
interviews will deliver positive and powerful results.
要提高获得一份好工作的几率，你得花点时间来制定策略、做些准备。顺利获得工作都是源于有效的规划。想要面试富有成果，就得深入调查、全面计划和有效实施。采用下面的方法，你可以打造自信、成功的面试。
1. Carefully research the company. 仔细研究一下公司
Learn as much as you can about your prospective employer’s business model.
Visit its Web site and read their mission statement and/or company philosophy.
Identify main products, services and functions. Speak to employees, vendors or
other contacts with inside knowledge. Acquire strategic information that will
enable you to speak knowledgeably and offer valuable insight during your
interview.
2. Thoroughly read and analyze the official job description. 仔细研读职位描述
Visit the company’s web site or ask the recruiter/hiring manager to provide
you with this information. Identify key skills and determine whether or not you
meet the job requirements.
3. Be prepared to recognize and engage in various types of interviews.
面试可能会有不同类型，早作准备
Interviews have different purposes and characteristics. The experienced job
seeker should be familiar and comfortable with all varieties. Telephone and
behavioral interviews have very different formats and objectives. Telephone
interviews are prescreening tools used to determine whether or not a candidate
matches the position’s requirements. Employers try to streamline their search by
eliminating candidates who do not fit their basic requirements. Your goal is to
pass the prescreening test by proving you have the required skills. Your prize
is an invitation to a face-to-face interview.
Behavioral interviews are based on the belief that “past performance is an
indicator of future value.” After identifying which skills and knowledge are
necessary to fill the open position, employers will then develop and ask
questions based on these competencies. The questions often ask the job seeker to
tell about or describe a time in the past when they had to respond to a certain
situation. Interviewers want to know how you handled these issues and what the
outcomes were.
4. Be passionate. 充满热情
Every employer believes his or her company is special and unique and
therefore wants to hire the best person for the job. Show your passion for the
company and its products by preparing “big picture” questions that address the
employer’s needs.
Sample questions to ask include:
What are the two most important tasks and issues related to this
position?
该职位最重要的两个工作内容和两个难题是什么?
One year from now, what would you like to say about the person whom you
hire for this position and what he or she was able to accomplish?
一年后，你希望对此岗位招聘的人说什么?你希望他/她能够有什么样的成绩?
How will this accomplishment impact the entire organization?
这样的成绩会如何影响整个组织?
5. End strongly. 结尾也要漂亮
Finish the interview by quickly summarizing how you can deliver solutions
to their problems. Thank the interviewer for taking the time to speak with you.
Sincerely express your interest in the position and ask what the next step will
be. Request the interviewer’s business card.
Remember: Positive and lasting results are built on solid groundwork. Take
the time to learn about the company, the position’s requirements and different
interview techniques. Preparation will generate profitable results. |
