LESSON 課文

READ THE TEXT OF BEFORE THE INTERVIEW, THEN ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.
閱讀面試前的復習內容，然后回答下面的問題。

One should prepare for a job interview in a relaxed manner. By that I mean do not pay too much attention to any one single detail at the expense of others. There is no one key to succeeding at an interview; rather a person should rely on the cooperation of a large number of little details. Take things slow and do them correctly. Consistency and sincerity will be greatly appreciated by any potential employer. And always say more than yes or no!

應該以一種輕松的方式準備面試。這樣說的意思是不要為了任何單一的細節而犧牲其它的事情。成功的面試不取決于任何一個孤立的因素，而是許多細節因素綜合作用的結果。準備時要從容，然后面試時注意不要出錯。對于任何一個潛在的雇主來說，連貫性和誠摯都會大受歡迎。而且要永遠記著不要僅僅停留在回答是或不是上。

Before the interview, one should prepare some of knowledge about the company one is seeking employment with. What is the main focus of the business? How many people does it employ? What languages are spoken in the offices? The answers to these questions should be well known before setting foot though the door. An employer will show more respect to an individual who cares enough to learn such details.

在面試前，應聘者應做一些準備，對所要應聘的公司有一些了解。如公司的主要業務是什么，有多少員工？在前去公司進行面試的時候，對這些問題的答案應該了然于胸。雇主應對渴望了解公司的應聘者表示尊重。

Carefully consider your physical appearance on the day of the interview. Although many companies have adopted a ’casual dress’ atmosphere, you can never lose points by dressing carefully and neatly. The basics of cleanliness are mandatory; showering and brushing your teeth are included in this, and it is recommended that you not smoke before the interview as many people find the lingering odor offensive. On no accounts should one try to smoke during an interview! Taking care with these matters will insure that a potential employer will not have a bad first impression.

仔細檢察你在應聘當天的儀表儀容。雖然許多公司采用一種"休閑服"似的辦公環境，但是注意儀容和穿著整潔總是沒有壞處。基本的整潔是必須的，洗澡和刷牙也包括在其中，而且建議您最好在面試開始前不要抽煙，許多人發現抽煙后那久滯不去的味道令人難以忍受。在面試時無論如何不要抽煙！注意這些細節會讓一個可能的雇員不會給雇主留下惡劣的印象。

Bring with you to the interview a clean copy of your current resume’ and any supporting information, such as a list of recommendations, a copy of your university degree or other certificates of education. In addition, if one is seeking employment in a country other than one’s own, be sure to bring all immigration papers which relate to employment in your host country.

去面試的時候帶一份你最新的整潔清晰的簡歷和任何其它所需的文件，如一些推薦信，一份大學學位證書或任何其它教育證書。另外，如果你是在本國以外的其它國家求職的話，別忘了帶上有關你在原住國的職業經歷的移民文件。

Be sure to arrive to your interview on time or even fifteen minutes early. Nothing irritates your potential employer more then to be made to wait! Plan to arrive early, so that unusual conditions, such as a traffic jams will not cause you to miss the appointed time. If extremely unusual conditions present themselves, causing your lateness, try to telephone the employer before you are late, so they will not waste time wondering where you are. Under such circumstances an employer may be willing to reschedule the interview.

切記一定要準時到達應聘的公司參加面試，甚至提前15分鐘到達。你潛在的雇主最討厭等待！提早做計劃，以便在某些特殊的情況下，比如交通堵塞就會害你錯過約定的時間。如果有極其特殊的情況發生使得你無法準時到達，在你感到要遲到的之前給公司打電話，以便他們不會浪費時間猜測你怎么了。在這種情況下，雇主也許愿意重新安排面試的時間。

While waiting for your turn, it is best to make friends with the secretaries or other staff around the office. This is also a good opportunity to practice saying more than yes and no. When your name is called, look up proudly, knowing that you are the one for the job. GOOD LUCK!

在等待輪到你面試的時候，最好與秘書或辦公室的其他職員交朋友。這也是一個練習說更多不限于是或不是回答的機會。當叫到你的名字的時候，自豪地站起來，心中明白你是這個職位的最佳人選。

Leon: For example, I know you have several factories in Shanghai. I speak fluent Shanghai dialect. I would be glad to be travel between the cities and handle phone calls from Shanghai.

Deckard: I see. Now, please tell me about your major while you were in college.

Leon: I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in International Enterprise. My major was a combination of International Politics and Economics.
