It's not hard to mess up an interview.
搞砸一次面试并不难
Most people feel nervous sting across from a hiring manager, answering questions that effectively open themselves up for judgment.
大多数人坐在招聘经理对面都会感到紧张,回答的问题实际上是让自己公开接受评判
And your chances of being more carefully considered for the job can quickly go downhill just by saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Talking about a previous job negatively raises concerns that you might be difficult to manage, or you might be someone that blames management for your own poor performance.

Don't say that you've moved around in jobs because you haven't found the right fit or feel that you were not challenged enough.
不要说你不停跳槽是因为你没有找到合适的工作或者觉得自已没有受到足够多的挑战
Statements like these will make you sound aimless and lost.

And interviewer may well think why would this role be any different for you.

It also begs a question of what type of relationship you had with your manager.

It doesn't sound like you had open communication with him or her.

Managers usually love people who can self-sustain and enable growth through taking initiative, who are strong at following through their work and who bring ideas and solutions to the table.
管理者通常喜欢那些具有自我掌控能力并积极行动从而实现自我成长的人,这样的员工能够非常好地完成工作,还能为团队贡献自己的想法和解决方案
If you were in a management or leadership position when discussing your current role, never take all the credit for accomplishments or achievements.
在讨论你当前的职能时,如果你处于管理层或领导岗位,千万不要把所有成绩或成就都归功于你自已
Emphasize your team and how through their talents your vision was realized.
要强调你的团队以及如何通过他们的才能实现了你的愿景

And acknowledging this in an interview will go a long way towards suggesting that you might be the right person for the position you are applying for.
在面试中承认这一点,将大大有利于你表明一件事:你可能是你所申请的职位的合适人选
Lastly, have a good idea of what your role would be.
最后,要清楚地了解你的职能
And try and convey the idea that you're flexible.

This is especially true in small companies, where the ability to adapt and take on new responsibilities is highly valued.
在小公司尤其如此,在小公司,适应能力和承担新职责的能力非常重要
