Several hours earlier:
面試幾小時(shí)前:
1. It's important to have a healthy, substantial breakfast, of course, but it's just as important to eat well the night before so that you feel your best in the morning. Remember to limit caffeine to one or two servings. Chances are you'll already be feeling jittery, so put a cap on your coffee consumption.
1. 一頓健康豐富的早餐當(dāng)然重要,但是前一天晚上吃得好也同樣關(guān)鍵,這樣早上你會(huì)覺(jué)得狀態(tài)頗佳。要記得在面試前一兩餐限制咖啡因的攝入,因?yàn)槟憧赡芤呀?jīng)很緊張,所以別再喝咖啡了。
2. Check the hourly forecast and grab any extra items that you may need: an umbrella, a raincoat, gloves, or suitable footwear, for instance.
2. 每小時(shí)查天氣預(yù)報(bào),帶上可能需要的額外物品:比如傘、雨衣、手套或合適的鞋。
3. Pack a small bag with all the hygiene necessities: floss, deodorant, a compact mirror, and any makeup essentials that you may want to use for a morning touch-up. Include a tin of mints and avoid gum in case you forget to throw it away beforehand.
3. 用小包包裝好所有清潔必需品:牙線(xiàn)、除臭劑、化妝鏡等,如果你想讓自己在早上看上去更精神,也要帶上可能需要用到的化妝品。準(zhǔn)備一罐薄荷糖,別吃口香糖,以防你在面試前忘記把它吐掉。
One hour prior:
面試一小時(shí)前:
1. Call a friend for a quick conversation that will place you in a lighter frame of mind. Try not to talk about your interview. Instead, focus on carefree, upbeat topics that will put you at ease.
1. 打電話(huà)給朋友簡(jiǎn)短交流下,這樣會(huì)放松些。盡量不要提到面試,而把話(huà)題聚焦在輕松愉快、樂(lè)觀向上的事,這樣就不會(huì)那么緊張了。
2. Turn up the volume to amp up your energy. Nobody wants to talk to a tired deadbeat, let alone hire one. Companies want lively, enthusiastic employees, so listen to your favorite fast-tempo songs. Let yourself loosen up so that your personality can shine.
2. 提高音量、為小宇宙積蓄能量。沒(méi)有人愿意跟看上去疲憊、死氣沉沉的人聊天,更不用說(shuō)聘用他們了。公司希望員工活力四射、熱情滿(mǎn)滿(mǎn),所以聽(tīng)一些你最喜歡的快節(jié)奏的歌。讓你自己放松,這樣能展現(xiàn)出最好的自己。
With minutes to go:
面試幾分鐘前:
1. Turn off your phone. It's a no-brainer, but nothing screams "unprofessional" quite like a vibrating purse — not to mention a loud, awkward ringtone.
1. 關(guān)閉手機(jī):這好像是無(wú)需用腦理所當(dāng)然的事,但沒(méi)有什么比面試時(shí)手機(jī)震動(dòng)更體現(xiàn)你的“不專(zhuān)業(yè)”了——更不用說(shuō)響起大聲又尷尬的鈴聲。
2. Drink up: Bring a full water bottle to sip throughout the day. Once you reach the office, kindly accept any drink offers from the receptionist in case your mouth dries out midinterview.
2. 喝水:在面試的這天帶上一整瓶水。一旦到了辦公室,欣然接受接待員提供的任何飲料,以防你在面試中感到口干舌燥。
3. Take deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Anxious butterflies can cause headaches and hazy vision, so concentrate on breathing to clear your mind.
3. 深呼吸,用鼻子吸氣、嘴巴吐氣。緊張會(huì)引起頭痛和視覺(jué)模糊,所以用心深呼吸,理清你的思路。
4. Smile. Attitude is everything, and positivity packs the greatest punch when it comes to boosting your appeal.
4. 微笑。態(tài)度決定一切,在提高吸引力時(shí),積極的態(tài)度是最強(qiáng)有力的。
