We spend so much of our careers doing good work, meeting interesting people, and learning new skills. But it really all starts with one moment: the interview.

在人們的職業(yè)生涯中要花很多時(shí)間去做好工作、結(jié)識(shí)有趣的人和學(xué)習(xí)新技能。 但是這一切都是以“面試”開(kāi)始的。

Once you get there, you need to be able to package everything together for a nice, neat presentation that's memorable in exactly the right way.

一旦要進(jìn)行面試，你需要能夠?qū)⒆约旱囊磺斜绢I(lǐng)進(jìn)行包裝，以給人們一次干凈漂亮、能留下一個(gè)自己所希望的印象的展示。

Here are five mistakes a lot of people make -- even people who are great at doing interviews:

下面是五個(gè)許多人們會(huì)犯的錯(cuò)誤--其中不乏那些擅長(zhǎng)面試的人們。

1. Not preparing for a phone interview

不為電話面試做準(zhǔn)備

Most hiring managers screen candidates on the phone before they bring the candidate in for an interview. This is to make sure there aren't any glaring problems.

大部分負(fù)責(zé)招聘的人員在邀請(qǐng)面試前會(huì)通過(guò)電話進(jìn)行預(yù)篩選來(lái)確保不會(huì)出現(xiàn)突出問(wèn)題。

A phone interview saves time. If you can't get the answers to basic questions right on the phone, there's no point in interviewers watching you botch those questions in person. Also, the hiring manager is looking for you to make a mistake that would rule you out. For example, not knowing that you shouldn't take a call with a screaming baby in the background. So instead of thinking of the phone interview as a precursor to the real thing, think of it as something you can prepare for.

電話面試節(jié)約了時(shí)間。如果在電話里你都不能把一些基本問(wèn)題講清除，那么就沒(méi)有當(dāng)面讓你回答它們的必要。同樣，招聘人員還在挑你的毛病來(lái)把你剔除。例如，（你）不懂得不該在有孩子大吵大鬧的時(shí)候打電話。所以，你不要把電話面試當(dāng)成是重頭戲的“插曲前奏”（因此不重視它），而應(yīng)該認(rèn)為它是可以準(zhǔn)備的東西。(to be continued)
