面试时要懂得说的黄金五条

The best things you can say in an interview won’t necessarily get you the job on their own, but they can certainly pave the way. Keep these five things in mind as you go through the interviewing process to give yourself the best chance at landing the job.

光凭一张巧嘴不一定能让你得到心仪的工作，可有些时候，好口才确实是块不错的敲门砖。面试的时候，记住这五件事可以让你有更多被录用的可能。

Ask Good Questions

提好的问题

According to Howard Pines, founder and CEO of BeamPines, “the best thing a candidate can do at an interview is ask good questions.”

Howard Pines是BeamPines（纽约一家大型人才管理公司）的CEO和创立者。他说道：“候选人在面试中能做的最好的事，就是精明地提问。”

Doing so shows that you are thoughtful and interested in understanding the company. There’s usually a chance to ask questions at the end of your interview, so be ready with questions that show you’re engaged in the process.

这样做可以让对方觉得你很有想法，而且对公司有着浓厚的兴趣。面试结尾通常都有提问的机会，所以为了显示自己的专业性，在你的提问上下点功夫吧。

Pines suggests several questions, including:

Pines 推荐了以下几个问题：

What are the biggest short- and long-term issues I would need to focus on in this position?

在这个职位中，我长期和短期上最重要的关注点是什么？

What would I need to focus on differently than the previous person in this position?

跟上任员工相比，我应该更注重哪些不同的方面？

What organizational issues should I be aware of?

我应该注意哪些组织上的问题？

“I’m flexible.”

我工作上很灵活

Whether it’s about possible job duties, a potential start date or simply timing for the second interview, stressing your flexibility makes you easy to get along with.

不管提到工作职责，开始工作的时间或者简单的第二次面试的时间，你都可以通过强调你的灵活性，来表现你易于共事。

Hiring managers don’t like complications, and having to coordinate complicated schedules or haggle over a job description eventually just makes you look difficult. While you certainly don’t want to be a pushover -- and “flexible” shouldn’t define your salary negotiation -- show your potential employer that you’re interested in results that work for everyone.

招聘者讨厌繁琐。当他们不得不为你调整复杂的时间表，还要在职位描述上跟你字斟句酌时，你就显得很难共处。当然，谁也不想显得好欺负——你的薪资水平就不能那么灵活了——告诉你未来的雇主，你对金钱这个万金油很有兴趣。

The Company’s Own Words

用公司的行话

Before your interview, become familiar with the company’s website and literature. Pay attention to the words used -- what’s important to the organization?

在你面试之前，要多熟悉公司的网站和宣传用语。留心他们的措辞，搞清楚对这个组织而言，什么是最重要的。

“In your interview, hit key words that appeared on the company website or brochure,” says Olivia Ford of Adeptio. “These key words might include team, leadership, simplistic, culture or growth.”

“面试时，用公司网站和宣传册上的关键词语点睛，”来自Adeptio（美国一家商务培训机构）的Olivia Ford说道，“这些关键词语应该会包括团队，领导力，精简主义，企业文化和员工成长。

Mixing these keywords into your answers can provide a subtle hint that you are plugged in to what the organization is looking for.

回答问题时把这些关键词语掺在里面，巧妙地暗示面试官你就是公司要找的那种人。

“That’s a Good Question.”

这个问题提得好

Use this phrase instead of blurting out “I don’t know” if the interviewer stumps you with a surprise question. It can give you a few moments to come up with an answer and, in the meantime, strokes the interviewer's ego a little bit too.

用这句话来替代一句生硬的“我不知道”。如果面试官抛出一个意料之外的问题，这句话可以让你有时间去考虑自己的答案。同时，这句话也可以略微地打击一下面试官的自大情绪。

Avoid the “I don’t know” answer when possible, but of course don’t lie about your experience or training.

尽可能地避免说“我不知道”，当然，也不必为了这个就在自己的经历或培训方面上撒谎。

Reasons You Want the Job.

你需要这份工作的原因

Knowing a job prospect’s motivations is important for managers who are hiring.

对人事经理来说，了解候选人的动机是非常重要的。

During your interview, talk about how this position fits into your future plans and the ideas you have about your career, how it fits with your values, and what you would like to learn from it. Talk about how you see yourself in relation to the company and what you believe you can bring to the position.

在你面试期间，谈论一下这份工作如何与你的未来规划和对事业的认知相符，谈论一下这份工作如何与你的个人价值观相符，以及你希望从中学到什么。谈论一下你如何看待与公司的关系，以及在这个岗位上你能为公司所做的贡献。

These kinds of thoughts show who you are as a person, and go a long way toward giving the hiring manager an idea about how you might fit in the company’s culture and values.

这些想法可以丰富你的个人形象，而且有助于给人事经理一个你能够适合企业文化和价值观的印象。
