题目内容
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.
To be your natural self in a job interview will__________.
A. make your interviewer angry B. please your interviewer
C. leave an impression on the interviewer D. leave the interviewer indifferent to you
For job seekers, efforts to control the interview are likely to __________.
A. affect the interviewer’s opinion of them
B. lead to the offer of a job
C. enable them to express themselves fully
D. help to create a favorable image of themselves
The most important thing to keep in mind when being interviewed for a job is to _________.
A. try to obtain the job B. reject the job first
C. qualify yourself for the job D. see if it is a job you want
The right attitude to a job interviewer is to be _________.
A. obedient B. hostile C. pleasing D. agreeable
“hang loose” in last paragraph means to _________.
A. stay calm and relaxed B. become weak and passive
C. take charge D. sit back comfortably
