面试准备所花的时间和你最后面试的成功有很大关系。实际上很多主持面试的人都对前来面试的人的缺乏准备感到惊讶，有些人明显不知道在面试中应该说些什么。有些来面试的又太随便了，让人觉得他们不是很认真。而有些又太紧张，让他们自己和主持面试人之间的气氛很不舒服。如果在来面试之前先了解一下别人对有自己什么期望，并且做好准备，这些实际上都是可以避免的。

面试实际上同时给求职者和雇主提供一个确认共同兴趣的机会。所以第一次面试对你来说将是求职过程中关键的一步。

准备工作
在面试中表现得最好的往往是花时间好好准备的。在下面介绍的几方面做准备，将帮助你更好地回答面试者的提问。

对雇主公司有所了解
了解你要前往面试的公司的基本情况。你应该知道该公司的产品、服务、地点、最大的客户、销售、成长潜力等等。你可以通过和同类型公司的人打交道获得这些信息，或者上该公司网站查询。

了解所申请的工作职位
仔细阅读招聘广告。弄明白所招聘工作的要求-具体的工作职责、基本条件、工作性质等等。记住，面试是“双向选择”，你应该确定这个工作是否能对你今后的事业发展有帮助。你也可以思考一些有关工作和公司的问题来做准备。不要问一些会让你显得比较自私的问题：比如工资、办公室大小、午餐时间等。

了解你自己
将自己简历上提供的信息再温习一遍，准备好在所有的要点上做出更多的发挥。

• 你对公司到底能贡献什么？你的优势和资格在哪里？准备一些例子予以说明。
• 什么会阻止你的成功发展？你的弱点是什么？准备好描述你弱点的方式，不要让人觉得你的弱点非常负面。
• 什么事情可以激励你并且让你发挥最佳？

其他准备窍门
知道怎么去面试地点。准备提前10到15分钟到达面试场所。可以事先去熟悉一下地点。

• 决定穿着打扮。你的穿着应该反映你想体现的形象。你的形象应该是专业的、充满自信和符合条件的。记住，你只有一次机会来给人留下良好的第一印象。　
• 复印足够的简历，让每一个面试你的人都有一份（你可能被要求和不止一个面试官谈话）。
• 准备好回答你何时可以就职工作的问题。

面试过程
面试的基本结构是大同小异的。一个典型的面试包括四个方面：

• 介绍 – 营造良好气氛
• 背景 – 你的背景。准备回答有关何事、何故、何地、何时和如何的问题
• 讨论 – 让你的需要和公司的需要达到契合
• 总结 – 一些最后的问题及下一个步骤

面试行为

　　1.第一印象很重要
　　2.表现自然和体现自我
　　3.态度是重要因素
　　4.做到绝对诚实
　　5.注意你的清洁和着装
　　6.你的目标是获得一份工作

记住：你只有一次机会来给人留下良好的第一印象。

祝你面试成功！

　　
Congratulations — the information in your application form/resume has landed you an interview! The following information will aid you in preparing for this next step of the process.

The success of an interview can be directly related to the preparation time a candidate has invested. Interviewers are surprised at the number of candidates that come to job interviews without any apparent preparation and no idea of what they are going to say in that interview. Other candidates are far too casual, creating an impression of indifference. At the other extreme, some candidates are so nervous they create an environment between interviewer and interviewee that is extremely uncomfortable. These situations can be avoided by knowing a little of what is expected of you and by making simple preparations before that big day!

The job interview provides an excellent opportunity for the job applicant and the employer to meet and identify common interests. Thus, the first interview, which is your first encounter with the employer, plays a crucial role in your job search campaign.

Preparation
The candidates who do the best in interviews are the ones who have spent time on getting prepared. Following are some areas that you can work so you are more prepared to provide responses to the interviewers.

Know the Prospective Company
Know basic information about the company that you’re interviewing with. You should know its product or service offerings, locations, largest customers, sales, growth potential, etc. You can find information by networking with people within those businesses, checking the Company web pages, etc.

Know the Potential Job
Review the job advertisement thoroughly. Fully understand what the job entails — specific duties, responsibilities, critical competencies, the purpose of the job, etc. Remember, the interviewing process is a “two-way street.” You need to determine if this opportunity will help you to grow and develop your career. Prepare for your interview by brainstorming a list of thoughtful questions to ask about the job or the Company. Avoid questions which may sound selfish to the interviewer, such as inquiries about salary, office space or lunch hour.

Know Yourself
Review your application form you submitted and be prepared to elaborate on all of the information you provided.
