The best way to have a successful job interview is to prepare for it. Too many people walk into an interview
without knowing as much as they should about the industry, the company and its problems, so follow these
steps:
Know the company. Find out as much as you can about the position the company and its needs, so that you
can show how your background meets those needs. Telephone the receptionist and ask for the company's
booklets. Learn about the company at your local library and on the Internet.
Know yourself. Mentally review the skills and character you have that will help the company's bottom line.
Think of the value you can add to the position and the company.
Know your job history. Mentally review your past achievements and be prepared to describe your work
experience in detail. Gather letters of reference and examples of your work to present to the interviewer as proof
of your past achievements. Practise describing your experience and achievements at each job.
Know the questions. You can almost certainly be asked, "Tell me about yourself." Answer this question
from the employer's point of view. Ask yourself, "If I were hiring someone for this position, what would I want
to know?" Then answer these questions. And be ready for hard ones, too. Think of the worst question you could
be asked about your experience and abilities, and prepare positive (积极的) answers.
Prepare questions of your own. Employers are as interested in your questions as they are ____. And they'll
react favorably if you ask intelligent questions.
