話匣子英語(yǔ):工作面試

哈皮和毛拉今天給出的是面試的經(jīng)驗(yàn)和技巧，需要找工作的小伙伴們，尤其需要豎起耳朵認(rèn)真聽(tīng)哦

Maura: And we’re always focused on natural English. So, today, back by popular demand, we’re going to get Harp’s advice about the job market. So, I’m going to interview Harp and ask her some questions about job interviews. So you can tell us how people can get prepared and do the best they can when they have a job interview.

Harp: And just in case you don’t know, I am a recruiter, so I interview people for a living.

Maura: She’s a serious professional. But actually, this is really great advice. This is good advice for Canadians who already live in Canada and might need some tips, but it’s especially good if you’re thinking about coming over to North America and you want to do well in your interview. This way, you’ll know a little bit more about what you can do.

Harp: Yeah, or if you’re in North America and you’re getting ready for your first job interview.

Maura: Yeah, it’s really helpful advice, I think. First, Harp: you have an interview, you got the call, you’re excited, you’re pump, you’re feeling good. What can you do to prepare for the interview?

Harp: The first thing you should do is research. Research the company, find out what it does, look for the company website, find out things about the culture of the company, find press releases, google it. Find out about the company you’re gonna be interviewing at.

Maura: That’s good advice, because then you know a little bit more of what to expect and you can also think about some questions you might want to ask them, because you know about their company and you can be specific.

Harp: Exactly. It shows enthusiasm. It shows that you took the time to research the company. It sets you apart.

Maura: And, would it be a good idea to practise with someone?

Harp: For sure! I recommend practising for the interview—before—to everyone. It’s a good idea to practice for some of the typical questions that get asked in an interview.
