当被问到以前的工作经验时,你或许会千篇一律的重复简历上的那段话。如此就丧失了针对性。你应该事先调查一下你要面试的工作的具体内容,如此好在陈述时突出和工作相契合的部分,增加面试成功的机率。
4. Thinking the job description is set in stone
职位描述固定不变
When you start an interview, find out what you're interviewing for. Typically, the person who writes and publishes a job description is not the person making the hiring decision. Ask the hiring manager what the goals are for the position, and ask who the new hire will work most closely with so you know who'll have the biggest say in whether or not you get hired. 面试时,你得注意发现雇佣方想要的是什么。通常情况下,写作和发布职位信息的人不是决定雇佣与否的人。咨询一下招聘职员你所面试的职位是干什么的,这个职位和哪个的工作关系最紧密,如此你就了解了哪个是那个握有生杀大权的人,他会决定是不是雇佣你。
And, if you get the job, remember that it could change all over again. Immediately. So don't ever assume you know what your job is until you investigate. The only constant about your job description is that you must be invaluable1 to your boss in order to succeed. 即便你被录取了,你也要记住,事情完全可能发生变化。没准儿会立刻发生。所以在调查前,不要以为你了解具体工作是什么。关于职位描述中唯一不变的是要显示出你对老板来讲很有价值,如此才能保证你面试成功。
