导言:找工作,千辛万苦终于闯进了面试。如何才能在面试中脱颖而出,得到想到的工作呢?仔细阅读下面的建议。文中的“我”是面试官,文章是从面试官的角度写的。



  Don't tell me that Business Insider is a great "magazine." Come on. That's just embarrassing.
不要告诉我 Business Insider(一家网站)是很好的杂志。实话实说吧。你那样做会令人尴尬。

  When I ask you what websites and publications you read, don’t say The New York Times. Everyone reads the New York Times. Be creative.
  当我问你看什么网站和出版物时,别告诉我,你读《纽约时报》。大家都那么说,要有点创意。

  Don’t send me a cover letter email that’s more than one paragraph long. I don't want to read about your childhood. Save the details for the interview.
发给我的简历不要超过一页。我不想了解你的童年。省掉细节面试时再说。

  Don’t attach your resume to an email and title it “Magazine Resume” or “Forbes Resume。” Seriously, come on.
  不要单单把简历扔在在电邮里,标题只写“杂志社简历”或者“福布斯简历”。拜托,好歹写上应聘职位啊。

  If we’re at a career fair, don’t tell me how “slutty” the other candidates are dressed compared to you. True story.
如果我们坚持职业生涯公平,不要告诉我其他候选人和你比起来,他们是多么的性感。真的。


 
 If you’re interviewing for an editorial job, don’t tell me your lifelong goal is to be a designer, or a golf announcer. Why would I hire you?
如果你面试一个编辑类的工作,不要告诉我一生的目标只是称我为设计师或高尔夫报幕员。我为什么要雇你?

  Don’t come in without spending at least 20 minutes looking around the site. This goes for any publication you're interviewing at. A smart interviewer will ask you: "What are your impressions of the site?"
至少先花20分钟看看办公地点然后再面试。这尤其适用于面试刊物。一个聪明的面试官会问“你对办公地点影响如何?”

  Don’t say you have no questions at the end of the interview. You have to at least ask ONE question, and it should be more creative than, "What's the culture like?"
在面试结束时不要说你没有问题可问。你至少应该问一个有创意的问题,比如“公司文化是什么?”

  Don’t ask if moving within the company is easy. That makes me think you're trying to get your foot in the door for another job, when what I care about is filling this position.
不要问在公司内部调动是否容易。那会使我认为你想进来只是想找其他的工作,而我关心的是找人来填补这个职位。
