The great thing about a job interview is the way that it narrows
the field. If you can get in front of the people making a hiring
decision, that means that you've already moved from a group of
perhaps 100 resumes to a field of
just a few serious contenders. At that point, your chance of
getting a job offer improves dramatically.
Of course, having surmounted that huge hurdle, the last thing you
want to do is blow it. To that end, here are 10 job-interview gaffes to avoid.
1. Complaining about the parking or
directions（抱怨停车位或门难找）
Don't think it doesn't happen! As cordial and happy-go-lucky as
your interviewers may seem, they don't want to hear a job-seeker
complain that the place was hard to find or that the parking is
inconvenient. The best (that is, the worst) example of this I ever
experienced as an HR person came from the candidate who said,
"Seven handicapped parking spaces next to the front door? What, are
you having a wheelchair convention or something?" That was a short
interview.
2. Bad-mouthing your previous job, manager, or
company（对以前的工作、上司或公司责备）
If you've been laid off or suffered some other unpleasant
experience at your last job, it's easy to launch into a litany of
everything the old employer did wrong. Don't do it! The interviewer
is bound to wonder "Will this person be bashing me behind my back
on some future interview, too?" Zip it.
3. Digging into details off the bat（匆忙陷入细节）
The typical selection process allows plenty of time for you to
learn everything you need to know about the company's dental plan,
its tuition-reimbursement policy, and the size of your cubicle.
Don't ask about any of these items on a first interview, when you should be focusing the
conversation on the role and the organization.
4. Groveling（无尊严地求职）
Employers want to hire people who can do the jobs and who are
enthusiastic about the work. What's not so appealing is the
candidate whose every word and gesture conveys the message, "Hire
me, I beg you!" Joblessness is no fun, but you don't help your
chances of getting the nod by presenting yourself as a candidate
whose most notable attribute is desperation.
5. Answering a question before you understand
it（急于回答需要深思熟虑的问题）
The absolute worst answer to any interview question is the response
that shows you weren't really listening. When an interviewer asks a
question that requires thought, like, "Tell me about a time when
you had to convince a team of people to change gears," you don't
want to blurt out, "Oh, I've done that a million times!" Any "tell
me about a time when" question is a question that the interviewer
has chosen to elicit a specific problem/solution story from you.
Take the time to think through the question and compose a
thoughtful answer. A few minutes of silence in the room won't kill
anybody.
6. Spacing out（心神不定）
Any interviewer worth her salt will be able tell when you've zoned
out. If you're wondering whether the 5:40 train will get you home
in time to watch the playoff game, the interviewer will spot it in
your eyes. If you're really out of it, he may throw you a curve
ball like, "So, who would you say was the most effective member of
Teddy Roosevelt's cabinet, and why?" Stay in the room, with your
eyes either meeting the interviewer's or looking thoughtfully at
the ceiling. Or your shoes.
7. Slouching（无规无矩）
We'll throw in tipping the chair back off its front legs, resting
your head on your hand, and lacing your fingers together behind
your head.
8. Cursing（临时紧张）
Interviewers love to put job candidates at ease. When you reach the
state of ease that lets an "f-bomb" escape your lips, you've gone
too far.
9. "Opening the kimono."（敞开心扉）
It's tempting to share with a sympathetic interviewer the news that
this job search has been really hard, that you're not getting
callbacks, and that you've already sent out 150 resumes. Don't do it. Smart job candidates put
out a vibe that says, "I'm glad to be here with you and this job
might be fun, but I'm a capable person who's aware of his value on
the job market."
10. Doing anything disgusting（坏习惯令人作呕）
The long list of personal gross factors includes picking one's
teeth or nose, spitting, and other unmentionables that are best
left to the imagination. Any of these is a sure-fire
interview-killer (and can we really blame the employer for that?).
One candidate asked me for a cup of water, took a sip, swished it
around in his mouth, and spat into a potted plant. Niiiiiice!
