Congratulations – you have made it past the résumé review and have been selected for an interview. Before you take that call or go to the in-person meeting, remember to do these five things.
恭喜你——你已經通過簡歷篩選并收到面試通知了。在你接到電話面試或去現(xiàn)場面試前，要記得做下面5件事。

1. Review what you have sent so far. Retrieve the exact résumé and cover letter that you submitted for the position. Many job seekers customize their résumé and cover letter for each position, so reviewing your documents ensures you know what the interviewer saw before selecting you. Be prepared to discuss anything listed on your cover letter or résumé. You also want to make several copies of that same résumé to bring with you to an in-person meeting.
1. 整理你發(fā)給公司的材料。看一下你為這個職位寫的簡歷和求職信。許多求職者為職位量身打造簡歷和求職信，所以要看下文檔以確保你知道面試官是根據(jù)什么選你的。準備好回答任何求職信或簡歷上的內容?，F(xiàn)場面試的話你還要多帶幾份簡歷。

2. Compare the job description to your résumé. First, highlight the top three to five requirements of the role. Next, set up a “side by side” comparison of what the role requires and how your background lines up. Third, write out examples that succinctly demonstrate that you possess the desired skills/traits. Fourth, practice saying those examples in front of a mirror OUT LOUD. It may seem awkward, but the interviewer can only judge what you say and how you say it, not what is in your head. Practicing in front of a mirror ensures that the words flow well and that you look comfortable while saying them.
2. 比較職位描述和簡歷內容。首先，找出3到5條重要的職位要求。接下來，挨個比較每條要求和你的條件是否相符。第三，簡潔寫出能證明你有公司所需技能/特點的例子。第四，在鏡子前練習大聲說這些例子。雖然有些尷尬，但面試官只能根據(jù)你說的內容和表達方式作判斷，而不是根據(jù)你腦子里想的東西。在鏡子前練習能確保說起來流暢而且看起來真誠。

3. Research the latest news/events at the company. Using LinkedIn, the corporate website, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest, read any current company updates. Pay close attention to items that may impact your targeted role. For example, if you notice several recent changes in the company’s management team, note if any of those managers had oversight of your potential department. Was a replacement hired? What was this person’s previous work experience? Listing all of this is a great way to cement the events in your memory and to better organize the information in a useful way.
3. 找公司最新消息/事件。用LinkedIn、公司網站、Twitter、Facebook和Pinterest搜索，看公司發(fā)表的所有內容。密切關注可能會影響你的目標職位的事件。例如，如果你看到最近公司管理層有變動，而且新經理是管你將來的部門的話就要注意了。他是代替原來的經理嗎？這個人之前的工作經歷是怎樣的？列出這些分析是記牢事情以及更好組織信息的好辦法。

4. Turn the research into questions. People are frequently hired based on their questions more than their answers. The reason for this is that well-thought-out questions display research, deeper understanding of the position/company/industry and effort beyond the average job seeker. Using the information gained during the research process, create questions that show your knowledge and interest. If you can find the answer to your question on the company website, that is a clear sign that you should not ask it during the interview.
4. 把調查結論提煉成向面試官提的問題。人們被錄用通常是基于他們問了什么而不是答了什么。因為仔細考慮過的提問可以體現(xiàn)出求職者事先了解過公司，和一般求職者相比對職位/公司/行業(yè)也有更深了解。利用調查中獲得的信息，提些能體現(xiàn)學識和興趣的問題。如果你能在公司官網上找到問題的答案，明顯是告訴你在面試時不要問這種問題。

5. Practice the messy stuff. Review your résumé and determine how you will describe any weak spots or areas of uncertainty. The interviewer only knows what you have submitted in writing before the interview. When a job seeker seems uncertain or rambles when asked a question, it is a sign to an interviewer that this is an area that may need to be discussed in more depth to gain clarity. If you are clear in your presentation, you are less likely to send a red flag that triggers more probing. A confident delivery puts an interviewer at ease.
5. 多練沒把握的內容。重看簡歷并想好怎么講弱點或不確定的東西。面試前面試官只了解你以書面形式提交的信息。當面試官的提問讓求職者看起來不確定或猶豫時，他們會覺得這塊內容應該問得多些或清楚些。如果你清楚自己要講什么，就不太可能有不知所措的時候。自信的儀態(tài)能讓面試官面得更輕松。
