在面試前,有幾件事你可以準備起來,最大化自己得到工作的機會。
一、Research the company and the job thoroughly
徹底研究公司和工作
Get acquainted with the organisation’s size, history and reputation. You could do this online, through the company’s website, or at a local library. If you know someone who works there, he or she would be a good source of information. You may not be asked about this information but it will help you understand the job.
了解這個組織的規(guī)模、歷史和聲譽。你可以上這個公司的官網(wǎng)了解或是在當?shù)貓D書館找些資料。如果你認識在那里工作的人,那會是更好的信息來源。在面試時可能不會問到此類問題,但是這些信息能幫你更了解這個公司。
二、Learn about how the interview will be conducted
了解面試會如何組織
For example, it is not impolite to ask how long the interview will take; it shows you are serious about the proceedings. Once you know approximately how long it will last, you can prepare how you will pace yourself and which are the most important points you want to make. Make sure you don‘t arrange any appointments immediately after the interview. You don’t want to feel rushed and, besides, it might stretch on beyond the specified time.
盡量去。比如,你大可以問面試會進行多長時間,這不會顯得自己不禮貌、而會讓對方覺得你對面試很上心。一旦你知道面試時間,你就可以為如何把握面試節(jié)奏做準備,想想哪些是你在面試中一定想要表達的點。注意:不要在面試后安排任何時間很近的事兒。你總不想面試時慌慌張張的吧?另外,指不準面試時間又延長了呢?
三、Dress code
著裝要求
The company may have a dress code that you’ll need to know about. What is appropriate depends on the particular employer and job but it is better to dress formally whilst remaining comfortable. Men should dress conservatively with a tie and business suit. A fresh haircut and a shave will help and no chewing gum or cigarettes. Also only wear your wedding ring, if married, take out any earrings and cover any tattoos!
你面試的公司可能對著裝也有些要求。具體穿什么也要看你的雇主或是行業(yè),但總的說來,穿正式點兒同時穿的舒服點絕對沒錯。作為男士應(yīng)該穿西裝、系領(lǐng)帶。最 好能剪個清爽的頭型、剃干凈胡子,不要嚼口香糖、不要抽煙。除非你結(jié)婚了要帶上戒指之外,其他所有的耳釘、紋身統(tǒng)統(tǒng)藏起來!
四、perfect resume or presentation
優(yōu)秀簡歷、自我介紹
Product placement is a promotional tactic used by marketers in which a real commercial product is used in fictional or non-fictional media, and the presence of the product is a result of an economic exchange. Promotion involves dissemination about a product, product line, brand, or company. Promotion is the specific mix of advertising, personal selling, sales promotion, and public relations a company uses to pursue its advertising and marketing objectives. Information gather is extremely important at this stage of the game.
如果把placement和promotion僅僅限定在一次找工作的過程中,那么地點可能就是一次面試,或者一次招聘會,而promotion可能就是招聘者推銷自己的方式,可能是招聘者的一次簡短的介紹(short presentation),或者一份漂亮的簡歷等。作為學(xué)生,就是多多利用現(xiàn)有的資源,比如收集網(wǎng)上的公司的資料、廣告,參加招聘會和聽取一些成功人士的求職經(jīng)歷,結(jié)合自己的實際情況,取長補短,把自己successfully sell出去。
