Tips for Interview
You are expecting to have an interview for that job you have been dreaming of for years. Here are some interview tips that can help you begin your career on the right foot.
1. Do plenty of research on the company to show your knowledge and abilities before the interview. This will help boost your credibility, show your sincere interest in the position, and formulate questions you may want to ask the interviewer.
2. Plan the route. Map out the location and any alternate routes that may be helpful. Figure out how long the drive or commute will be, parking options, and any other factors that may cause you to be late. Also, have the name and telephone number of the interviewer in case an unforeseen delay comes up.
3. Rehearse some common questions in the mirror or with a friend who can give you feedback. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Why do you want to work with our company? Tell me about yourself. 4. Bring any paperwork that may be necessary. Always have your resume with you even if you have already submitted a copy online. Other documentation that may be helpful is your driver’s license, social security card, and a portfolio of your work, if applicable.
5. Dress for success. Your dress should be clean, pressed, and professional. Double check your finger nails to ensure they are clean and manicured as the interviewer will see them if you are passing papers or signing documents.
6. Make every effort to arrive at least 15 minutes before the interview starts. This will give you time to visit the restroom to check your appearance, turn off your cell phone. Even more importantly, it will give you a moment to take a few deep breathes so you can walk in there calmly.
7. Come up with a few questions to ask the interviewer. At the end of the interview, you are likely to be asked if you have any questions. Usually, people are so concerned with what is going to be asked and they forget that they are allowed and encouraged to ask questions themselves. This will prove that you did research and hope to develop in the industry.
8. One of the most important interview tips that is often overlooked is to get plenty of sleep the night before. Anyone does not want it to appear as though you were up all night either partying or stressing. The interviewer wants to know that you can handle your responsibility.

◆ 信头的写作方法 1． 信头一般写在信纸的右上面。 信头一般不要写得太高， 信头的上面要留些空白。 2．通常在写信头时，第一行写门牌号和街名，第二行写地区名，第三行是日期。 一般信头每行末不用标点符号，但每行中间应用的标点不可少，城区名和邮政编码之 间，日月和年份之间要用逗号隔开。 3．需写邮政编码，邮政编码写在城市名称后边，用逗号隔开。 4．信头的书写格式有两种：并列式和斜列式。所谓并列式是指信头各行开头上下 排列整齐。而所谓斜列式是下一行开头较上一行的开头向右移一至两个字母的位置。 ◆ 信内地址（inside address） 信内地址包括收信人的姓名称呼和地址两部分。社交的私人信件信内地址是省略 的。信内地址的位置位于信头的左下方，它的开始行低于信头的结尾行，位于信纸的 左边。 信内地址先写收信人的头衔和姓名，再写地址，地址排列次序同信头一样。信内 地址的书写格式也有两种：并列式和斜列式。一般来讲，信头和信内地址所用的格式 总是保持一致的。标点符号的使用也与信头一样。 ◆ 对收信人的头衔和姓名的常见称呼 称呼是对收信人的尊称语， 自成一行， 与信内地址上下排齐。 在美国用 “My Dear” 比用“Dear”还要客气，而英国的用法恰巧相反。对于一个陌生的人通信一般用“Dear Sir”或“Dear Madam” 。另外需要注意的是称呼后面用逗号。 无职称的男子用 Mr.(加姓)职场英语实践指南 已婚的女子用 Mrs.(加女子丈夫的姓) 未婚的女子用 Miss 婚姻状况不明的女子用 MS. 博士或医生用 Dr.(Doctor) 有教授职称的用 Prof.(Professor) 总经理、校长、会长、总统用 Pres.(President) ◆ 结尾语（complimentary close） 结尾语就是结尾的客套语。一般写于正文下空一两行后，第一个字母大写，末尾 用逗号。结尾语措辞的变化依据情况而定，通常有以下几种： （1）写给单位、团体或不相识的人的信用： Yours (very) truly, (Very) Truly yours Yours (very) faithfully, (Very) Faithfully yours, （2）写给尊长上级的信可用： Yours (very )respectfully， Yours (very )obediently， Yours gratefully， 也可以将 Yours 放在后面。 （3）写给熟人或朋友的信可用： Yours，Yours ever，Yours sincerely， Yours cordially，Yours devotedly, 也可以将 Yours 放在后面。 （4）给亲戚或密友的信可用： Yours，Yours ever，Yours sincerely， Yours devoted friend， Lovingly yours， Yours loving son (father，mother，nephew…)， 以上各种情况 yours 无论放在前面或是放在后面都行，但不可缩写或省去。 ◆ 签名（signature） 签名是在结尾客套语的下面，稍偏于右，这样末一个字可以接近空白边和上面的 正文一样齐。签名当用蓝钢笔或圆珠笔，不能用打字机打。签名上面可以用打字机打 出所在公司单位名称，下面也可打出职位。如写信人为女性，则可在署名前用括号注 明 Mrs.或 Miss。
签名的格式不能常变换。如一封签 G∙Smith，另一封签 George Smith，第三封用
G∙B∙Smith，这是不合适的。男子签字前不可用 Mr．、Prof.或 Dr.字样。
◆ 英文书信信封的写法（superscription）
英文书信信封的写法同中文也不一样。具体来讲，英文书信应这样安排信封内容。 1．寄信人姓名地址写在信封的左上角。收信人的姓名地址写在信封中间靠下或靠 右地方。 姓名要单独成行。 姓名地址的写法同信头 （heading） 和信内地址 （inside address）
一样。所用格式（并列式或斜列式）也同信内的安排一致。注意写上邮政编码。 2．信封左下角可以写些说明语。如写上 General Delivery（平信）、Registered（挂 号信）、Express（快件）、Air mail（航空）、Personal（亲启）、Please Forward（请转交）、 Printed Matter（印刷品）、Book Post（图书邮件）、Manuscripts（稿件）、Photos Enclosed （内有照片）、Top Secret（绝密件）等。

课文译文 如何应对面试 要想在面试中留下一个好印象，首先你得做好准备。尽你所能了解你想应聘的工 作以及你愿意就职的公司的情况，这样当你回答问题的时候就不会哑口无言。 确信你知道面试的地点和时间。你到达面试地点必须留有充裕的时间，这样你在 面试前就有一段时间来放松一下自己。 你走进房间时给人的印象是非常重要的。面试前要设法弄清楚这家公司或机构在 服饰方面是否有什么规定。然后按照他们的规定来装扮自己。着装应干净、整洁、职 业化。 你还得设计好你打算说些什么。有些面试你得说许多话，而有些面试你只需回答 有关你的教育与经历方面的几个问题就行了。对于你自己、你的学业、你的长处、你 申请这项工作的理由以及你期望的薪水，你都必须准备好现成的答案。在面试期间， 你要自信、自然地表达自己的观点，说话缓慢且清楚，并且要时刻看着面试者的正前
职场英语实践指南 方。回答问题前先认真考虑，切忌夸夸其谈。 你还将被允许提出一些你自己的问题。你所提出的问题应该向主持面试者表明， 你对那个位置已经经过深思熟虑。记住假期和薪水不是你应该询问的首要问题。你可 以提出诸如此类的问题：我在这项工作中得承担什么职责？公司是否提供健康保险？ 公司是否提供进一步深造的机会？如果面试过程中已经回答了你所有的问题，就说： “事实上，我的确有几个问题，但您已经都回答了。 ” 如果你没听懂问题， 就说： “请再重复一遍。 ” 他们就会用不同的词来重复这个问题。 如果你当场不能明确地知道是否被录用还是拒绝，问： “我大概什么时候能得到面 试的最终结果？” 如果你真的收到了录用函，要尽快回信。 最后，面试结束时你要感谢面试官为你所付出的时间、提供的帮助或信息。 习题答案 I．T，F，F，F，T II．朗读并翻译 面试小提示 你将要为你梦寐以求的工作接受面试。下面的一些面试小技巧可以帮助你迈出正 确的第一步。 1．面试前应认真研究一下你要应聘的公司以展示你的知识与能力。 这有助于增强 你的自信，表现出你对此工作非常地感兴趣以及想好你想问面试官的问题。 2．安排好出行路线。在地图上标出位置并做好几种可以选择的线路。算出开车或 坐公交前往需要多长时间、停车点及任何可能导致你迟到的因素。还有，为防晚点最 好记住面试官的姓名及联系方式。 3．在镜子面前练习一些常问问题的回答， 或者找一个能给你提出反馈意见的朋友 一起来练练。 你的优点是什么？ 你的缺点是什么？ 你为什么想到我们公司工作？ 介绍一下自己的情况。 4．随身携带一些可能需要的文本资料、简历，即使你已经在网上上传过。如果合 适的话，再带上驾驶证、社会保障卡和工作文件夹等可能有帮助的文件。 5．穿着得体。衣服应干净、熨烫过、职业化。确保你的指甲干净并修剪过，因为 当你递文件或签文件时面试官可以看到你的指甲。 6．至少在面试开始前 15 分钟到达。这会使你有时间去卫生间检查一下自己的外 表，关闭手机。更为重要的是在你可以有点时间做个深呼吸以便你能平静地走进去。 7．向面试官提出几个问题。面试结束时，你可能被要求问几个问题。通常情况下， 人们很关注他们将被问什么样的问题而忘记了公司允许他们并鼓励他们问问题。这会 证明你的确研究过并希望在那家企业工作。
8．常常被忽视的一个最重要的面试建议是前一天晚上保证有充足的睡眠。任何人 都不想在面试时表现出整晚都在聚会或者压力很大的样子。面试官想知道你能担当起 自己的责任。
