Calming Job Interview Nerves—a Monster guide.
稳定面试焦虑情绪－－一份 Monster 指南。
Most people dread job interviews, but by approaching them in the right way and taking note of a few key things, you can make sure you don't freeze on the big day. You should already know your CV like the back of your hand, but there's no harm in giving it one last read so you can immediately answer any questions about your past employments and education. There's no way you can prepare for every question they throw at you, but if you've thought about possible responses to the more common questions, you'll be less likely to be tongue-tied during your interview.
大多数人都害怕工作面试，但用正确的方式应付面试并注意几个重要事项，你就可以确保自己不会在那重要的日子里吓呆。你应该已经对你的履历很熟悉了，但最后再读一下也无妨，这样一来你才可以迅速回答任何关于你过去工作经验和学历的问题。你不可能准备好面试官丢给你的每个问题，但如果你有思考过比较常见问题的可能答复，你在面试时就不太可能会结结巴巴。
Getting a good night's sleep before the interview is important so you feel fresh. You may want a swift drink to help you doze off, but you definitely don't want to be waking up with a hangover, so keep it to one. Traveling to your interview can be stressful; try to do a trial run before the day of your interview so you know exactly how long it takes and can plan accordingly. If you're made to wait in reception before you're taken into the interview room, use that time to have a few deep breaths and think about some small talk you can have with your interviewer—even something as simple as commenting on the nice decor in the office or the good recent weather helps break the ice and put you at ease.
面试前睡一晚好觉是很重要的，这样你才会觉得精神奕奕。你可能想要来一杯帮助自己入眠，但你绝对不想要带着宿醉起床，所以喝一杯就好。到面试地点的路程可能会很麻烦；试着在前一天试走一趟，好让你了解确切需要时间，并可以依其作规划。如果在被带到面试房间前，你被要求先在接待处等候，那就利用那时间深呼吸几次，并想一些可以和面试官小聊的话题－－即便是一些像聊聊办公室漂亮的装潢，或聊聊最近宜人的天气这样简单的事情，这都有助打破冷场并让你感到自在。
Even if you're not feeling confident, make sure you act confident. Always try to use appropriate body language in your interview, such as making a positive but not finger-crushing handshake, looking your interviewer in the eye, and sitting up straight in your chair. If you can, try and get your interview arranged in the morning. That way, you don't have a whole day for things to run over in your mind, and you can get it out of the way. If you have an interview arranged in your lunch hour, you might feel rushed to get out in time. And if you're having it after work, you may have had a stressful day, and so might your interviewer.
就算你不觉得有自信，也要确保你表现出有信心的样子。永远试着在面试时利用合适的肢体语言，例如一个带有自信但又不会把人家手握断的握手、直视面试官双眼，还有在座位上打直腰杆坐好。如果可以的话，试着把面试安排在早上。那样一来，你就不会有一整天让事情在你的脑中转来转去，你可以把那先解决掉。如果你把面试安排在午休时间，你可能会觉得在时间内赴约很赶。如果你在下班后才要面试，你可能已经过了一个压力很大的一天，面试你的人可能也是。
Finally, the best bit of advice is don't worry, just relax and be yourself. The job interview is as much for you to see if you like the company as it is for them to see if they like you, so go in with an open mind.
最后，最好的建议就是别担心、放松就好，还有做你自己。工作面试是要让这间公司的人看他们喜不喜欢你，另外也是要让你看看自己喜不喜欢这间公司，所以带着开阔的心胸进去应试吧。
