And in terms of posture, the body... obviously there is what you say but there's also the body language. So someone sits here.. it's... the legs cross three times and the arms crossed. Erm... that's a very... sort of... defensive approach and I think the interviewers might not... err appreciate that too much. On the other hand if someone is too relaxed, and sort of slopping back in the chair and leaning his one hand on the table, that's also not very good. So I think it's... in terms of posture, it's good to come in, greet the people in the room, introduce him or herself and then sit down and erm... sort of maybe have both feet on the... underground, maybe the hands on the table or in... in your lap, and not playing around with a cell phone or with a pen. There's... the other thing also good too, to shut down or shut off all electronic devices so that you don't receive your texts or your calls during the interview. That can be very distracting.

至于姿態(tài)，很顯然，肢體語言和口頭語言是不一樣的。所以有人坐在那兒，雙腿不停地?fù)Q著翹二郎腿，手臂也交叉著，這是一種非常自衛(wèi)的動作，我覺得面試官不大喜歡這種肢體語言。另一方面，如果應(yīng)聘者太放松，隨隨便便地坐在椅子上，手也搭在桌子上，我覺得這種也不大好。所以我認(rèn)為，進(jìn)門，和房間里的人問好，自我介紹，坐好，雙腳平放于地，手比較正式地放在桌上或膝上，不要玩手機(jī)，不要轉(zhuǎn)筆，這樣會比較好。還有一點(diǎn)注意下也比較好，就是關(guān)閉或切斷所有電子設(shè)備，這樣你在面試過程中不會收到所有信息及電話，因?yàn)檫@二者非常分散人的注意力。

Then in terms of what you say, I think it's good to listen well to the erm... to the questions, to be also prepared in advance. And to prepare some questions to ask after the interview. So if you really have an interest in the company, so that you... that you have some valid questions coming up.

然后，關(guān)于口頭語言，我覺得好好聽問題非常重要，同時(shí)也應(yīng)預(yù)先準(zhǔn)備好自己的答案，還得準(zhǔn)備一些面試過后想要問的問題。如果你真的對某間公司感興趣，你就必須問一些實(shí)實(shí)在在的問題。

5 Q: 通常應(yīng)聘者都會被問到自己的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)與弱項(xiàng)，談?wù)撟约喝觞c(diǎn)的最好方式是什么？

I think it's always a good thing to give an example. Everyone knows sort of the... err... the answer that "I'm too impatient" or "I'm too eager", "I'm too competitive" - these are sort of the standard answers people give so I think it's maybe a good thing to give an example of a weakness when one can describe a situation in his current job. And be honest. I think everyone has a weakness and I also don't think that the interviewers nowadays are focusing too much on those areas. So if you can come up with an honest answer and they.... erm.... if you can describe a situation from your daily life, I think that will... that will be good.

我覺得舉例子是很好的辦法。每個(gè)人都知道諸如“我沒什么耐心”“我很有企圖心”“我很有競爭力”之類的答案，這些都是應(yīng)聘者會給出的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案。所以我覺得如果有人能舉出在他目前的工作中碰到的問題或發(fā)現(xiàn)的弱點(diǎn)的例子，那么會很好。同時(shí)一定要誠實(shí)。我覺得每個(gè)人都有其弱點(diǎn)，我也不覺得現(xiàn)在的面試官會非常在意一個(gè)人的弱點(diǎn)。所以如果你能夠誠實(shí)地回答問題，并且從日常生活中舉出實(shí)例，我覺得是非常好的。
