面试前做什么能让你取得巨大成功或者最终伤害你。
Getting a job interview can feel like a great accomplishment in this job market – and it is. But don’t sit back and relax once your interview is scheduled, because what you do before your interview can either pay off enormously or end up hurting you.
在就业市场,能得到一份面试机会就觉得是巨大的成功—也确实是。即使你的面试安排好了,也不要高枕无忧。因为你在面试前所做的准备既能让你取得巨大的成功也可能会让你最终受到伤害。
Here are seven mistakes you might make before your job interview ever happens – mistakes that can bite you when it comes to your interview performance and the impression you make on your interviewer.
在面试前你可能会犯以下7个错误—在面试过程中你的表现,面试官对你的印象,犯错误能直接毁了你。
1.Not researching the company. Interviewers pay attention to who appears to have done their research and who doesn’t. If you go into your interview not knowing basic facts about the company, it will show. So before your interview, spend some time browsing the employer’s website. Spend 20 minutes learning enough about them that you’re able to speak intelligently about the work they do and how they see themselves.
1、不搜集公司信息。面试官会注意搜集了公司材料的人和没有搜集的人。如果你参加面试却连公司最基本的情况都不了解,面试时会显现出来。因此面试前,花些时间浏览贵公司的网站。花20分钟来学习保证你能灵活的说出他们主要做什么和他们怎样看待他们自己。
2.Not looking up your interviewers on LinkedIn. If you spend a few minutes reading your interviewer’s LinkedIn profile, you might find out that you both know Jane Smith, that you were both in the Peace Corps or that you're both from the same area of Ohio – information you probably wouldn’t otherwise have and which can help create rapport. You also might learn that your interviewer has a special interest or expertise in some particular area of the work you do, which you can then be sure to talk about when you meet.
2、不在LinkedIn社交网上看面试官的资料。如果你花些时间看面试官在LinkedIn上的简介,你可能会发现你们都知道简·史密斯,你们曾都在和平军团里面或者你们都来自俄赫俄州的同一个地区—不然你没有什么信息,这些信息能建立友好关系。
3.Not checking to see if you have any connections in common. LinkedIn is also great at letting you see what connections your network might have to the company or to your interviewer. For example, if you discover that someone in your network used to work at the company or is connected to someone who did, you can then reach out to that person for insight about the company’s culture and key players.
3、不检查与公司是否有一些共同联系。LinkedIn社交网络非常棒也能让你知道你的社交网络可能同公司或者面试官有什么联系。例如,如果你发现某人在你的社交圈里面曾经在这家公司工作或者同某人有联系,然后你可以通过同那个人深入的交流了解公司的文化和主要的业务。
