让你失去资格的面试误解（中英）

　　Interview Myths That Keep You From Landing the Job

　　With so few jobs currently available and so many people currently hoping to fill those jobs, standing out in an interview is of utmost importance. While jobs themselves are scarce, job advice is overly abundant. And with an influxof information comes an influx of confusion. What career counsel do you take, and what do you ignore?

　　目前，工作机会又少，而想得到这些工作的求职者又非常之多。那么，在面试中脱颖而出就非常重要了。虽然工作本身很稀缺，但是关于工作的建议却过于丰富。并且随着大量信息的涌入，求职者也非常混乱。你应该接受哪些职业建议，而忽略哪些呢？

　　There are a number of common misconceptions related to interview best practices, experts say. Kera Greene of the Career Counselors Consortium and executivecoach Barbara Frankel offer tips below that can help you stand out from other interview subjects, avoid frequent pitfalls, and secure the job.

　　专家指出说有很多关于面试最佳技巧的误导信息。职业顾问联盟的Kera Greene和执行教练Barbara Frankel给出了以下建议，能够帮助你在其他求职者中脱颖而出，不会频繁的陷入误区，保全那份工作。

　　Myth #1: Be prepared with a list of questions to ask at the close of the interview.

　　误解1：准备好一份问题清单在面试接近尾声的时候问面试官

　　There is some truth in this common piece of advice: You should always be prepared, and that usually includes developing questions related to the job. The myth here is that you must wait until it is "your turn" to speak.

　　在这个建议里还是有些真理的：你应该随时准备好，而这通常包括和该份工作相关的拓展性问题。该处的误解是你必须等到轮到你的时候才说话。

　　By waiting until the interviewer asks you if you have any questions, "it becomes an interrogationinstead of a conversation," says Greene.

　　Greene说：“如果你一直等到面试官问你是否有疑问时才提问，那样面试就会变成审问而不是谈话。”

　　Greene recommends that you think of an interview as a sales call. You are the product and you are selling yourself to the employer. "You can't be passive in a sales call or you aren't going to sell your product."

　　Greene建议你将面试当成一次电话营销。你自身是产品，并且你在试着将自己卖给雇主，“在电话营销中你不能是被动的，否则你就不能很好的销售自己的产品。”

　　Frankel mimics Greene's comments. "It's a two-way street," she says. "I recommend asking a follow-up question at the tail end of your responses."

　　Frankel的建议与Greene差不多，她说：“这是个双向道，我建议在你回答问题之后马上接着提问。”

　　For example, Frankel says, if the interviewer says, "Tell me about yourself," you first respond to that question and complete your response with a question like, "Can you tell me more about the position?" The interview should be a dialogue.

　　Frankel说，打比方说在面试官问你：“讲讲你自己吧。”你可以先回答这个问题，然后可以用一个类似这样问题来完善你的回答“你可以多告诉我一些关于这个职位的事情吗？”这样的面试才像谈话。
