Don’t say: "My current boss is horrendous."

Why: It’s unprofessional. Your interviewer might wonder when you’d start bad-mouthing her. For all you know, she and your current boss are old pals.

Instead say: "I’m ready for a new challenge" or a similarly positive remark.

不要說(shuō)"My current boss is horrendous."(我現(xiàn)在的老板很可怕。) 這樣很不職業(yè)，面試官會(huì)想你某天也會(huì)這么說(shuō)她的壞話。你怎么知道她和你現(xiàn)在的老板是不是老朋友呢。我們可以說(shuō)"I’m ready for a new challenge"(我準(zhǔn)備迎接新挑戰(zhàn))或者其他類似的正面評(píng)論。

Don’t say: "Do you think I’d fit in here?"

Why: You’re the interviewee, not the interviewer.

Instead say: "What do you enjoy about working here?" By all means ask questions, but prepare ones that demonstrate your genuine interest in the company.

不要問(wèn)"Do you think I’d fit in here?"(您覺(jué)得我適合這里嗎?)你是應(yīng)聘者不是面試官。可以問(wèn)"What do you enjoy about working here?"(你覺(jué)得在這里工作獲得了哪些樂(lè)趣?)一定要問(wèn)些問(wèn)題，但是要準(zhǔn)備那些可以體現(xiàn)出你真的對(duì)公司感興趣的問(wèn)題。

Don’t say: "What are the hours like?" or "What’s the vacation policy?"

Why: You want to be seen as someone who focuses on getting the job done.

Instead say: "What’s the day-to-day like here?" Then, if you’ve really jumped through every hoop and time off still hasn’t been mentioned, say, "Can you tell me about the compensation and benefits package?"

不要問(wèn)"What are the hours like?"(工作時(shí)間是怎樣的?)或者"What’s the vacation policy?"(休假政策是怎樣的?)你要讓自己看上去是一個(gè)專注于完成工作的人。可以問(wèn)"What’s the day-to-day like here?"(這里每天是如何進(jìn)行的?)之后，如果你已經(jīng)百般取悅了面試官而仍未提及休假問(wèn)題，那么就可以問(wèn)"Can you tell me about the compensation and benefits package?"(可以告訴我有關(guān)補(bǔ)償與福利的規(guī)定嗎?)

* jump through a hoop - to do everything possible to obey or please someone 俯首帖耳，百般討好
