面試容易忽略的細節(jié)

　　找工作的人常為面試煩擾。過于緊張會讓您忽略到一些細節(jié)問題，而這些細節(jié)問題有可能非常重要。Looking for jobs is a painful thing, but nearly every one must do it at least once a lifetime. Anyway, there are some points a person must remember to succeed in having an interview.

　　To begin with, it is not a good idea to be late. People don’t think very highly of the one who arrives twenty minutes late, or explaining that he couldn’t find the street and that his watch was slow. The wise one studies the place the day before, or make sure that he can find the street, the building, the right floor, and the office; at the same time, he looks around to examine what the employees are wearing and how they work. Next day he arrives early. It does not matter if someone recognizes him and mentions his first visit to her boss. On the contrary, the eager fellow can only be regarded as smart, thoughtful, and well organized - three points in his favor before he has said a word.

　　Then, appearance. It is most important for one to be dressed properly and to look alive- pleasant, interested. It is also very important to look at people in the eyes because this "eye contact’ can strongly suggest that one is honest and open-minded. A few other points are regularly mentioned by the gum or smoke during an interview; they should not sit down before being invited to do so. It is even worse to examine the objects on the desk while the manager is answering the telephone, to listen to the conversation - and perhaps offer a comment afterwards. This is definitely not the time to joke, or to interrupt the interviewer in mid-sentence.(來源：英語點津)
