During an interview, first impressions can play a major role in how an employer perceives you as a candidate. What you say during the first phase of the interview may make a big difference in the outcome—in a good way or in a bad way.
在面試時,作為面試者你的第一印象在面試官心中有舉足輕重的作用。在面試的第一環(huán)節(jié)你一開始說的內(nèi)容可能會造成截然不同的結(jié)果——不管是好是壞。
In fact, some hiring managers may make a decision to reject a candidate based on what they didnt do when they met them. Thats why its important to pay attention to interview manners and to carefully think through how you will introduce yourself during a job interview.
事實上,一些人事經(jīng)理會因為面試者在面試中沒有做到期望的那樣而將其拒絕。這就是為什么在面試中注意自己的面試禮儀和想清楚要如何介紹自己非常重要的原因了。
How to Introduce Yourself at a Job Interview在面試時如何介紹自己
When you arrive at the interview site, introduce yourself to the receptionist by stating your name and the purpose of your visit. For example, “My name is Tim Jones and I have an interview scheduled with John Smith at 2 pm.”
當(dāng)你到達面試點時,向接待人員介紹自己姓名及參加面試的目的。例如:“我的名字是Tim Jones,我和John Smith預(yù)約了下午2點面試。”
You will either be escorted to the interview room or the hiring manager will come out to meet you in the reception area. Again, take the time to introduce yourself so the interviewer knows who you are.
你可能會被帶到面試間或者人事經(jīng)理會出來在接待處見你。再次,花點時間介紹下你自己以便面試官知曉你是誰。
Offer to shake hands, even if the interviewers dont offer their hands first. Its good etiquette to include a handshake as part of your introduction. Tell the interviewers that it is a pleasure to meet them, smile, and be sure to make eye contact. For example, “Im Tina Lionel. Its a pleasure to meet you.”
主動握手,即使面試官沒有先主動和你握手。在你的自我介紹中握手也是一項重要的禮節(jié)。告訴面試官見到他們很高興,微笑,并且一定要有眼神交流。比如:“我是Tina Lionel。很高興見到您?!?img alt="" src="https://cimg.fx361.com/images/2018/03/24/qkimagessdyesdye201604sdye20160408-1-l.jpg"/>
Tip: To avoid sweaty palms, stop in the restroom prior to the interview and wash and dry your hands. If thats not feasible, use a tissue to dry off your hands ahead of time.
建議:為了防止手掌出汗,面試前先到洗手間把手洗凈吹干。如果那樣不可行,就先用紙巾把手擦干。
During the Interview面試過程中
Many hiring managers will start an interview with an open-ended question like “Tell me about yourself”. The core of your response should focus on the key elements in your background which will enable you to excel in the job for which you are interviewing. You should carefully analyze the job prior to the interview so you can point out the interests, skills, experiences, and personal qualities which will enable you to meet or exceed the requirements.
許多人事經(jīng)理會以諸如“請介紹下自己”這樣的開放性問題開始面試。你回答的核心應(yīng)該集中在介紹自己的強項來說明你能夠勝任你面試的這份工作。在面試前你應(yīng)該仔細(xì)分析這份工作以便突出使你能滿足甚至超越這份工作的要求的興趣、技能、經(jīng)驗和個人素質(zhì)。

建議:重溫“自我介紹”問題
Keep it Short簡短回答
Your introduction should be concise enough to hold the interest of the interviewer. Generally, a quick recap of your most compelling qualifications will suffice. You could also throw in a couple of tidbits which are not essential to the job, but reflect your personal likes such as the fact that you are an avid skier, have performed at comedy clubs, or collect African art. Your goal is to connect personally with the interviewer as well as to show that youre qualified for the job.
你的自我介紹應(yīng)該足夠簡明以保持面試官的興趣。一般來說,快速概括一個你最具說服力的優(yōu)勢就足夠了。你也可以加入一些雖然對這份工作不必要,但是能反映你的個人愛好的小花絮作為點綴,比如你是位滑雪愛好者,在喜劇俱樂部表演過,或是收藏非洲藝術(shù)品。你的目的是為了能和面試官當(dāng)面進行交流,同時也展示你能勝任這項工作。
Of course, your initial comments should show your enthusiasm for the job and organization. However, dont overdo it and dont spend too much time talking about yourself. The interviewer has an agenda and time is limited, so keep your introduction brief so you can move on to the next question.
當(dāng)然,你的初步自我評價應(yīng)該展示你對這份工作和組織的熱情。然而,不要過多展示熱情,不要花太多時間來講你自己。因為面試官有自己的日程而且時間有限,所以保持介紹簡短以便你能繼續(xù)回答接下來的問題。
Follow Up Questions進一步問題
The interviewer may follow up your introduction with more questions, so its important to remember that you will need to support whatever assertions you make during your introduction. Be prepared to provide specific examples of how and where you have utilized your assets to successfully carry out work or volunteer roles, academic projects, or other productive endeavors.
因為面試官可能會根據(jù)你的介紹向你進一步提問,所以牢記你需要在介紹中為你介紹的方方面面提供論證支持是非常重要的。準(zhǔn)備好提供具體事例來證明你是如何、在何地運用你的各種能力來成功完成工作或成功參與志愿者活動、學(xué)術(shù)項目,或是其他一些富有成效活動。
