Interview (5)

John: I really think if I can get my foot in the door at this company it will do wonders for my career. Do you think you can help me polish my interview style?
我想只要我能進入這家公司，就會給我的事業帶來奇蹟。你能幫我潤色一下簡歷嗎？
Mary: Sure. Doing your homework and preparing for an interview really pays off.
當然可以。在家做好面試準備工作是值得的。

John: I’ve researched the company and think I’m perfect for the job but I’m not sure how to get it across to them.
我已經調查過這家公司，我很適合這份工作，可不知道怎麼才能得到他的賞識。
Mary: Well first you have to have more confidence. Employers look for people who are interested, enthusiastic and sure of themselves.
首先，你必須更自信。僱主招的是對工作有興趣，工作熱情和自信的人。

John: I know I have what it takes but I’m worried that my work experience won’t be sufficient. Should I inflate my experience?
我知道該怎麼做，但是我擔心我的工作經驗不夠。我應該誇大工作經驗嗎？
Mary: No, you should always be upfront and honest about your weaknesses. However by focusing on your strong points and maintaining a positive attitude about your abilities, you can take the attention off your lack of experience. Employers are always impressed by go-getters.
不用，對你的劣勢，你必須誠實坦白。不過你可以強調你的強項，對個人能力保持積極態度，僱主就不會注意你工作經驗的不足。僱主總是對負有進取心的人印象深刻。
