你刚刚得到了一份看起来很好的工作的面试机会？现在该怎么做呢？成功的面试是得到工作的必须条件。以下是得到面试机会后从准备到后续跟进的一些策略和技巧。

Company Research

公司调查

Research should always be your first step. Gathering background information on employers is a crucial element in successful interview preparation. You will need to be prepared to answer the questions "What do your know about our company"? and "Why do you want to work here?" Knowing as much as possible about the company\'s past performance and future plans can make your interview more interactive and could be just the leg up you need in a competitive job market. Before the interview review the company\'s web site and don\'t be afraid to contact your prospective employer to request details on the position you are interviewing for or to ask for company literature. Google the company to see what other information is available online.

调查始终应该是你的第一步。收集雇主的背景资料是成功面试准备的必备步骤。你要为"你对我们公司有哪些了解"以及"你为什么想在我们公司工作"这样的问题做准备。尽可尽可能多的了解公司过去的历史以及将来的计划能让你在面试中的表现更加活跃，与雇主有更多的互动，也可以让你在激烈竞争的求职市场上占上风。在面试之前，浏览一下该公司的网站，并且要主动和你将来的上司联系，向他打听你所面试职位的相关细节问题，或者公司的文化。在谷歌上面搜索看看网络上还有没有其他关于该公司的信息。

Practice Makes Perfect

熟能生巧

Practice makes perfect (or at least leads to improvement). Practice with a friend and record or videotape your responses so you can replay the interview and see how well you did. Prepare answers to commonly asked interview questions. Doing so will help you analyze your background and qualifications for the position.

熟能生巧（或者至少能有一定的进步）。和一个朋友一起练习，将过程录下来，这样你就可以反复播放你在该练习过程中的反应，看看自己表现如何。为一般面试中常出现的问题做准备。这样做可以帮助自己分析你所求职职位的背景和合格条件。

Behavioral Interviews

行为面试

Behavior based interviewing is becoming more common. It is based on the premisethat a candidates past performance is the best predictor of future performance. Rather than the typical interview questions on your background and experience, you will need to be prepared to provide detailed responses including specific examples of your work experiences.

以行为为基础的面试越来越普遍了。它的理论基础是一个人过去的业绩能够很好的预测将来的表现。不是简单问你的背景和经验，而是要你详细的回答这些问题，包括能够证明你工作经验的具体的例子。

The best way to prepare is to think of examples where you have successfully used the skills you\'ve acquired. Take the time to compilea list of responses to both types of questions and to itemizeyour skills, values, and interests as well as your strengths and weaknesses. Emphasize what you can do to benefit the company rather than just what you are interested in. Also prepare a list of questions you want to ask the interviewer. Remember, you aren\'t simply trying to get the job - you are also interviewing the employer to assess whether this company and the position are a good fit for you.

最好的准备方式是，想一想你以前成功的运用这些必备技能的事例。花时间写一份表格，上面写好相关问题，及自己技能、价值、兴趣、优缺点的详细说明。将重点放在强调你能为公司创造什么样的价值而不是你对该职位感兴趣。也要准备好一份清单，上面列好你准备提问面试官的问题。记住，你不只是单单想得到这份工作而已，你也在面试雇主，以此来评估这家公司和该职位是否适合你。

Prepare For the Interview

为面试做准备

It is very important to be on time for the interview. On time means ten to fifteen minutes early. If need be, take some time to drive to the office ahead of time so you know exactly where you are going. Know the interviewer\'s name and use it during the interview. If your not sure of the name, call and ask prior to the interview. Remember to bring an extra copy of your resume and a list of references.

准时对面试来说是很重要的。准时意味着早到十五分钟。如果有需要的话，提前花时间开车去办公室熟悉下环境。要记住面试官的名字，在面试时用名字称呼。如果你不确定，在面试之前打电话问问。记住，多带一份简历，以及参考清单。
