How to Make a Positive Impression in an Interview英语文本：
Looking for a job? Well, one of the most terrifying experiences about looking for a job is interviewing. But I have been on the other side of that. I mean I have interviewed over 25,000 people on my recruiting career. Many of them on the telephone, many of them in person, many of them ranging from 15 minutes so can you imagine this, three-hour interviews with spells. So I have learned a few things that I like to pass on to you that I hope that you’re going to be, that you will find helpful. The very first thing is do your homework.
How many people have showed up they did not really know what my company did, they did not know anything about the job even though we had it posted online or they knew somebody who worked there. But do your homework. In fact, you can even prove that you have done your homework. Go to the website, print out the about us page or let me just rewind.
You go to Google, put in the name of the company, go to their website, go to the about us page, print that page out, read it, mark it up, then go to the jobs and career page. Find the things that are interesting to you, print it out, mark it up, read it through, and be ready and put that on a folder, have the name of the company on the folder. So when you walk in, you are not only are prepared, you look prepared.
Now, speaking of going in. First of all, show up early. Second of all show up early. Thirdly, show up early. You want to be there at least 15 minutes ahead because if you are late for whatever reason, it does not matter what the reason is. That says to the interviewer, I do not care, not good work ethic, just you know, it is what it is. And one of the principles is, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. So you really want to show up early.
Obviously you have checked yourself out in the restroom before you go in to the interview so that your hair is in place and your shoes are dusted and you look put together. You want to be smiling. You want to be standing when they come out to get you. It just makes a whole another impression if you are coming out of some stuff each year versus standing there ready to go. So now, you are actually sitting in front of somebody and you are talking to him about the job that they have.
Do not be timid about asking questions about what is the job and what are you trying to accomplish to the job. In fact that is probably the most important question that you will have of them, is what do they want to get accomplished to the job. Because if you gain picture of that, if you can get an understanding of what results they want, they you can immediately go to you inventory of experience, and stories and education and skills, and line that up with what it is they want done.
And so, let us say you had a great interchange and you have done that thing were you have two ears, and only mouth so you are listening as much if not more than talking. And of course, never negative an interview even if they ask you tell me about your last job. Whether you were used, abused, and refused and you say, wow, that was just really a tough time and it has brought to a place where I can interview in a great place like this. So turn it all from negative to positive. And then, if you really like what they have to say, and you can see yourself contributing ask for the order. Tell them, “I love what have heard, I would really be interested and possibly working here. What is the next step? When will I hear back from you? Can I follow up with an email? I really appreciate your time, thank you. I am interested in working at.” Whatever the name the company is, and then after you leave, it is not over. Send an email that day, and then also that day send a hand written note. Okay, so maybe you are going to have to type it out because your handwriting is as bad as mine is but send them a personal note saying, “Thank you, I look forward to the next step.” And then after a week or two, or whatever time frame they give you follow up. So that is the interview and interviewing just a few tips. Good luck, I look forward to seeing you possibly in an interview one day.
中文大意：
找工作，话说找工作中最恐怖的事情就是被面试。我正好相反，我是去面试别人，我的意思是我在我的人事招聘生涯中我已经面试过25,000多个求职者。有的是面对面的面试，有的是电话面试，有时是一场面试要持续3个小时，所以你可以想象。我自有一套挑人法则，而这些将对你很有帮助。
第一就是面试前的准备工作。了解公司，有很多求职者去面试却不知道公司是做什么的，公司的规模，甚至不知道自己所要应聘职位，尽管我们在往上写的非常清楚。所以在去面试之前，你必须要做一系列的准备工作。如果你是要去谷歌面试，那么进入谷歌的公司网站，进入“关于我们”页面，打印出来，仔细阅读，做笔记，然后到招聘页面，找些你感兴趣的东西，打印出来，仔细阅读做笔记，最好把他们放到一个文件夹里，命名为“XXX公司”。当你去面试的时候，你做了准备，你的肢体语言和表情都会告诉面试官“我准备好了”。
第二，面试别迟到，早到无妨。
第三早到。提前15分钟到达面试地点，别因为任何理由而迟到。如果你迟到，面试官会觉得你不重视这次面试，也会认为你没有职业操守，显得不专业。有一个原则就是，你永远没有第二次机会去改变别人对你的第一印象。所以早到，因为你需要时间去洗手间整理妆容，确保头发没被风吹成鸡窝，鞋子上有鞋印等等。微笑着去面试，当面试官来见你时，你需要起立，这是最起码的礼仪。进入面试阶段，跟面试官谈论你的工作经历，千万别罗里吧嗦的说那个工作的含义和你想要取得的成绩。事实上，更重要的是，你要问他们想让你来完成什么。因为通过这个问题，你可以理解，他们在招一个什么样的人来达到什么样的结果。于是话题就会为你而展开，比如你的工作经验和能力，你的教育经历和职业技能，都能准确的告诉面试官。你能做什么。另外，两个耳朵一张嘴意味着你得多听少说。当然，面试官让你讲诉你的工作经历，你也不能闭口不谈。不管怎么说，面试时件很痛苦的事情。所以一定要做好万全的准备。
