Smart job-seekers need to rid themselves of several standard myths about interviewing before they start
looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at
your next interview.
Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain (means "get") a job offer.
Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job
offers you don't want! So before you please an employer, be sure you want the job.
Myth 2: Always please the interviewer
Not true. Try to please yourself. Of course, don't be hostile-nobody wants to hire someone disagreeable.
But there is plainly a muddle ground between being too ingratiating (逢迎) and being hostile.
Myth 3: Try to control the interview
Nobody "controls" an interview. When someone tries to control us, we resent (憎恨) it. When we try to
control others, they resent us. Remember you can't control what an employer thinks of you, just as he can't
control what you think of him. So he is ready to give and take when being interviewed; never control the
interview.
Myth 4: Never interrupt the interviewer
Study the style of the effective conversationalists: they interrupt and are interrupted! An exciting
conversation always makes us feel free-free to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. Just hang loose.
Try being yourself for a change. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you'll have made an
impression. Leaving an employer indifferent (冷漠的) is the worst impression you can make.

Washington D. C. is a great city to live in and visit-partly because D. C.'s public transportation can
get you almost anywhere in the city, D. C.'s subway, the Metro, is great for getting you to the main
tourist sites, but the bus is also a great resource and is cheaper. Learn how to conquer the D.C. bus
system in a few quick steps will help you to have fun in this city.
* Things You'll Need: cash or a D. C. Smart Trip card, a transfer (转乘卡) and a map of Washington,
D. C.
* To choose a bus line to take from home or your hotel, look at the buses that arrive at the closest
Metro stations.
Many bus routes start at a Metro subway terminal and make their way across the greater D.C. area.
*Learn to identify bus stops. They are usually located at the intersections (交叉) of streets. Look for a
tall sign with a tall sign with the words of "Metro Bus" that is dark blue at the top, white in the middle and
red at the bottom. Once you've found one of these signs, check the red section at the bottom of the sign.
In it, you should see several number or letter combinations written in white. Those are the bus lines that
service that stop.
*Be careful of the direction buses are heading for. All buses have an electronic screen on the front, side
and back of the bus that let you know which way they are headed and what line the bus is. The signs will
list the last stop on the bus route. Know where your bus terminates on each end so you can get on the bus
heading in the direction you want to go.
*To board the bus, you'll obviously need some sort of payment. The bus will only accept cash or a
SmarTrip card. Smar-Trip card are purchasable at several Metro stations or at Metro headquarters (总部)
and cost $5. You can also buy the card online at www.wmata.com.
*If you do order it online, purchase it in advance as it will take time for it to ship. Riding the bus costs
$1.35 if you pay in cash and $1.25 if you pay with your SmarTrip card.
*If you pay in cash, ask for a transfer slip. This will allow you to board the bus within a two-hour time
period without having to pay again. These machines are located by the escalators that take you to the waiting
platforms.
