INTERVIEWING is one of the most daunting and stress-inducing experiences many job seekers will encounter. There is no way to anticipate every possible question or every possible situation you may be put into, but there are some steps you can take to improve your interviewing skills. Remember that you are there to sell yourself and therefore need to prepare a quality “sales presentation”.
Start by making a written list of your skills. All good sales pitches begin with product knowledge. Since you are the product, you need to take stock of what you have to offer. Making a written list solidifies this information in your head and prepares you to speak intelligently about what you have to offer.
List first what job-specific knowledge you posses. What tasks can you perform, what equipment can you operate, what licenses/training/education do you have?
Next list transferable skills you posses. These are things like, organizational skills, leadership skills, or time-management skills.
The next step in improving your interviewing skills requires you to do your research. Know what the company is, does, and needs from the person they are looking to hire. You can get this information from the company Website, the library, or even by talking to someone who works for the company.
Another part of improving your skills requires that you have some knowledge of the types of questions you may be asked. There are standard questions that are almost always asked at interviews. You can find lists of “typical” interview questions in many books, periodicals, and Internet sites created for job seekers. However, here are two of the bigger stumbling block questions for some interviews:
“Why should we hire you?” Don’t give vague answers regarding your “hard work” or your “punctuality” or your “dedication.” While these are admirable traits, they are almost a given. What sets you apart? Be prepared to speak on specific and measureable accomplishments like improving sales by 23 percent or developing a safety plan that reduced reported injuries by 17 percent.
“What are you weakness?” Let’s face it, we all have them. And the employer knows it. While answers like “I’m a perfectionist” or “I’m a workaholic” are often given to this question, interviewers hear those response all the time. A better tack is to find an actual weakness that you have been working to improve upon, such as “Computers have been my challenge, but I’ve been taking classes to gain the requisite skills.” This shows self-recongnition of your weakness, and your desire to remedy it.
Practice, practice, practice. Once you know what your skills are, what the company is looking for, and what might be asked, you need to rehearse. You can find classes through your local employment office or college placement center, or you can practice with a friend.
Remember that you are sitting before a fellow human being. Calm down and try to have a conversation as you would with someone you met at a party or on the train. If you can turn your interview into a conversation, you might be able to make a friend. The bottom line is this: All else being relatively equal between candidatess, the employer will choose the person she likes— the person she felt a “connection” with.

面试是很多求职者都会遇到的最让人畏缩和最具压力的经验之一. 虽然没有必要回答每一个可能遇到的问题或者参
与到每一种遇到的情况,但是确实有一些方法可以让你提高面试技巧.请记住,你到这里来是来销售你自己的,所以你
需要准备一个高质量的"销售演讲".
Start by making a written list of your skills. All good sales pitches begin with product knowledge. Since you are the product, you
need to take stock of what you have to offer. Making a written list solidifies this information in your head and prepares you to speak
intelligently about what you have to offer.
作为开始,先列出你的技能. 所有好的高手都是从产品知识开始的. 既然你是卖产品的,那么你就需要知道你可以提供什么产
品. 写下这些信息以便让你记忆更加深刻并准备聪明地讲说你们的产品.
List first what job-specific knowledge you posses. What tasks can you perform, what equipment can you operate, what
licenses/training/education do you have?
首先列出你具备的和工作相关的知识. 你可以完成什么样的任务, 你可以操作什么设备, 你有什么许可,培训和教育的证书.
Next list transferable skills you posses. These are things like, organizational skills, leadership skills, or time-management skills.
其次列出你的可转换能力. 比如组织能力,领导能力, 或者时间管理能力.
The next step in improving your interviewing skills requires you to do your research. Know what the company is, does, and needs
from the person they are looking to hire. You can get this information from the company Website, the library, or even by talking to
someone who works for the company.
下一步提高你的面试技巧需要做的事情就是开始搜索. 知道那家公司是做什么公司,做什么的,以及需要什么样的人.你可以从该公司的网站, 图书馆,甚至通过和在该公司工作的人交谈得知这些信息.
Another part of improving your skills requires that you have some knowledge of the types of questions you may be asked. There are
standard questions that are almost always asked at interviews. You can find lists of “typical” interview questions in many books,
periodicals, and Internet sites created for job seekers. However, here are two of the bigger stumbling block questions for some
interviews:
另外一项增强面试能力的东西就是需要你具备回答你可能会被问到的问题一类的知识. 有一些标准问题是几乎经常被面试问到的. 你可以在许多书里面, 期刊杂志以及为求职者而创的网站上找到这些典型面试问题的清单. 即便如此,对于有些面试, 在此还是要提到两个非常难的问题:
“Why should we hire you?” Don’t give vague answers regarding your “hard work” or your “punctuality” or your “dedication.” While
these are admirable traits, they are almost a given. What sets you apart? Be prepared to speak on specific and measureable
accomplishments like improving sales by 23 percent or developing a safety plan that reduced reported injuries by 17 percent.
"为什么要雇用你?" 对于这个问题不要回答类似和你的"勤奋工作"或者"准时","奉献"等相关的模糊的回答. 虽然这些都是让人羡慕的特征, 但是他们几乎都是假定的. 是什么让你显得不同? 所以请准备在一些特别的和可以衡量的成就上做文章,比如增加23%的销售额或者开发一个可以让报道受伤数减少17%的安全计划.
“What are you weakness?” Let’s face it, we all have them. And the employer knows it. While answers like “I’m a perfectionist” or “I’
m a workaholic” are often given to this question, interviewers hear those response all the time. A better tack is to find an actual
weakness that you have been working to improve upon, such as “Computers have been my challenge, but I’ve been taking classes to
gain the requisite skills.” This shows self-recongnition of your weakness, and your desire to remedy it.
"你的缺点有哪些?" 我们都有缺点, 让我们面对吧. 而且雇用者也知道这一点. 如果你的回答是类似"我是一个完美主义者" 或者"我是一个工作狂", 面试官则听这些听得太多了. 一个更好的方法是找一个实实在在的而你又在努力改进的缺点, 比如"计算机对于我来说是一个挑战, 但是我已经在上课以获得必要的技能了." 这表明了你对自己的缺点的认识以及对改正这些缺点的愿望.
Practice, practice, practice. Once you know what your skills are, what the company is looking for, and what might be asked, you
need to rehearse. You can find classes through your local employment office or college placement center, or you can practice with a
friend.
练习,练习,练习. 一旦你清楚了你自己的能力, 清楚了公司需要什么, 以及有可能被问到什么, 你就需要排练了. 你可以通过你们当地的职业介绍所, 或者大学的就业中心, 或者通过和你的朋友一起来练习.
问题补充：Remember that you are sitting before a fellow human being. Calm down and try to have a conversation as you would
with someone you met at a party or on the train. If you can turn your interview into a conversation, you might be able to make a
friend. The bottom line is this: All else being relatively equal between candidatess, the employer will choose the person she likes— the
person she felt a “connection” with.
请记住你面试的时候是坐在人的面前的. 冷静下来并且试着像和在一个聚会或者火车上遇到的人开始一段谈话一样开始你们的谈话. 如果你将一次面试转换为一段交谈, 你就可能交到一个朋友. 总归起来说就是: 所有的面试候选人相对其他人都是对等的, 雇用者将会选择一个她喜欢的人--一个她感觉可以"联系"的人.
呵呵. 求职.. 供参考.
面试，是很多求职者要面临的一个问题，让人敬畏，感到压力。虽然你无法预计到，作为求职者的你，将会面临什么样的处境，遇到什么样的问题，但是你可以积极主动一点，采取以下步骤，来提升你的面试技巧。记住一点：你的目的是去那里并把你自己推销出去；因此，一份高质量的“推销演讲”尤为重要。
Start by making a written list of your skills. All good sales pitches begin with product knowledge. Since you are the product, you need to take stock of what you have to offer. Making a written list solidifies this information in your head and prepares you to speak intelligently about what you have to offer.
开局很简单，列举你的优点（各项技能）。对于任何一项推销来说，产品的背景知识总是让人很感兴趣的。在这种情况下，作为产品的求职者，你需要做的是叙说你的背景知识。在此之前，你就应该在你的头脑中列举出来，并学会如何巧妙的表达出来，让别人对你刮目相看。
List first what job-specific knowledge you posses. What tasks can you perform, what equipment can you operate, what licenses/training/education do you have?
首先要列举的就是你所拥有的专业技能。如：你能胜任什么样的工作，能操控什么样的设备机械，你有哪些证书，受过什么培训，教育背景又如何？
Next list transferable skills you posses. These are things like, organizational skills, leadership skills, or time-management skills.
接下来的就是要向对方展示你所拥有的能力，包括哪些呢？你可以从以下几点叙说，如：组织能力，领导能力，时间管理能力。
-----------------------------------------
先翻译一段~看看可行？
首先，在纸上列出你的技能。成功的推销，必然源于对产品的了解。既然你就是将被推销的产品，你应评估一下你能提供些什么。在纸上列出来，能帮助大脑强化记忆，让你在推销之时更加准备充分。
先列出你拥有的、与此工作有关的知识。例如，你能处理什么任务，能操作什么设备，并有什么证书、接受过什么教育或培训。
再列出你所具备的其他可转移的技能。例如，组织能力、领导能力或时间管理能力。
要提高面试技巧，你还需花些时间进行研究。了解公司的历史、业务和其所需的雇员类型。这些信息，可从公司的网站、图书馆或与公司员工交谈而获得。
要提高面试技巧，还需了解你将被问到的问题类型。在面试中，一些标准性问题总会被问到；在不少针对求职者的图书、期刊和网站上，都有这些问题及应对之策。但求职者还会遇到两大障碍性问题：
1、“我们为什么要雇你？”千万别用你“工作努力”“守时”或“勤于奉献”等模糊字眼来搪塞。当然，这些也是值得骄傲的优点，但如此回答大家都已经熟视无睹了。怎样能将你跟其他人区别开来？准备好说出你之前一些具体的、可衡量的成绩，如增加23%的销售额或修改安全计划令伤害报告降低了17个百分点。
2、“你有什么缺点呢”显然，每个人都有缺点；雇主也深知这一点。虽然很多人用“我是个完美主义者”、“我是个工作狂”等来回答，面试人员也听厌烦了。最好的策略就是找出你确有的、且在改正的缺点，如“我一直头疼计算机，不过正参加计算机培训，来提高这方面的技能”。这不但表明了你对自身缺点的反省，也说明你有改正之意。
练习，练习，再练习。一旦知道自己的技能、目标企业及可能会被问到的问题，你需要不断地排练。你还可通过当地的就业办公室或大学就业中心来参加相应的培训班，或与朋友一起练习。
别忘了，与你面对而坐的也是个活生生的人。冷静下来，尽量把它当作一场与一个在聚会或火车上相识的人之间的谈话。如果能把面试变成了谈话，你或许就能交结一些朋友。底线是什么呢？面试双方都是平等的，因为雇主也想找到一个他/她喜欢的员工，一个有着共同语言的员工。本回答被提问者采纳

“应聘”是一种非常可怕的和充满压力的经历，许多求职者都会遇到。没有什么方法可以预见一切可能的问题或一切可能面临的局面，但也有一些步骤，你可以改善你的面试技巧。请记住，你在那里推销自己，因此需要准备有质量“推销展示” 。
从写出一份你的技能清单开始。所有出色的推销历程都起始于对产品理解。由于你就是这个产品，你需要评估你所具备的东西。做一份书面清单，能巩固你内心中的这些内容，并让你准备好如何明智地展现出来。
