Most job seekers will not go through an interview process like “The Apprentice,” a reality TV show, but the fundamentals are universal: making a personal connection with the interviewer, demonstrating what qualities you will bring to the position, and setting yourself apart from the competition, hopefully in a positive way. By watching the program, job seekers can learn a lot about the dynamic between interviewer and interviewee. Hiring authorities can also learn ways to judge candidates. The following are some tips for job seekers.
Don’t rely on generalities. When asked why you should be hired or not fired, back up statements with quantifiable evidence. When asked why they should be retained, Jessie and her other team members provided generalities about their leadership skills and characters, but none offered concrete examples of specific accomplishments.
Dress for success. At first, the women in particular looked more like they were competing for positions with an escort service than with a major real estate company. However, they quickly came around, and learned that in order to be considered professional one has to dress in professional attire.
Ask for the job. One of the biggest mistakes many job seekers make is ruining an otherwise successful interview by not actually asking for the job. It might seem unnecessary. After all, the job seeker would not have applied if he or she did not want the job. However, by asking for the job in the interview, the job seeker is sending a strong message to the employer that he or she is interested in the job and is enthusiastic about the opportunity.
Take responsibility for your decisions. In a performance review and even in some job interviews, particularly for upper management positions, a candidate is often asked to explain or defend actions and decisions. The employer, before investing money in a new employee, wants to make sure that you recognize problems or failures and, most importantly, that you learn something that will make you a better employee and the company more profitable. When a project leader makes excuses or blames others on the team, it does not enhance the individual’s image and it does not tell the employer that anything was learned. [共5题]

Not only does Nick A. Corcodilos, a famous headhunter, have a keen eye for tracking talent, but also he gives smart advices for job candidates. Here are his new principles for successful job hunting.
Your résumé is meaningless. Headhunters know a résumé rarely gets you inside a company. All it does is outline yo
ur past-largely irrelevant since it doesn’t demonstrate that you can do the work the hiring manager needs done. Don’t get lost in HR. Headhunters try to get around the human-resources department whenever possible. “Most HR departments create an infrastructure that primarily involves processing paper,” Corcodilos says. “They package, organize, file and sort you. Then, if you haven’t gotten lost in the shuffle they might pass you on to a manager who actually knows what the work is all about. While the typical candidate is waiting to be interviewed by HR, the headhunter is on the phone, using a back channel to get to the hiring manager.” Do the same in your job search: apply directly to the person who will ultimately make the hire.
The real matchmaking takes place before the interview. A headhunter sends a candidate into an interview only if he or she is clearly qualified for the position. In your own job hunt, make the same effort to ensure a good fit. Know the parameters of the job when you walk into the interview. Research the company, finding out about its culture, goals, and competitors.
As you investigate a prospective employer, you’ll often find you and the company are not made for each other. “And that’s good,” Corcodilos says, “because when you do find the right fit, you’ll walk into an interview with confidence, having decided this is where you want to work.” So give yourself an attitude adjustment. If you convince yourself the manager wants to hire you, you’ll have a positive attitude at the interview, and your attitude might influence the manager to feel good about you. [共5题]

The smart job-seeker needs to get rid of several standard myths about interviewing before starting to pound the pavement looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.
Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer
Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job offers you don’t want! Incompetent job-seekers, however, become so used to accommodating employer’s expectations that they often easily qualify for jobs they don’t want. So, before you do back-flips for an employer, be sure you want the job.
Myth 2: Always please the interviewer
Not true. Try to please yourself. Giving answers that you think will suit a potential employer, losing touch with your own feelings (in order to get in touch with some other person’s feelings) and, in general, practicing an awful policy of appeasement are certain to keep you from success and progress. Of course, don’t be hostile----nobody wants to hire someone hostile. But there is plainly a middle ground between being too ingratiating (逢迎的)and being hostile. An effective interview (whether you are offered the job or not) is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your neighbor on an airplane. Myth 3: Try to control the interview
Nobody “controls” an interview----neither you nor the interviewer----although one or both parties often try. When somebody tries to control us, we resent it. When we try to control somebody, they resent us. Remember, you can’t control what employers think of you, just as they can’t control what you think of them. So hang loose when interviewing; never dominate the interview. Myth 4: Don’t disagree with the interviewer
Another silly myth. If you don’t disagree at times, you become, in effect, a “yes” man or woman. Don’t be afraid to disagree with your interviewer---- in a pleasant and pleasing way. And don’t hesitate to change your mind. The worst that could happen would be that the interviewer thinks, “There’s a person with an open mind!” Then conventional wisdom says “be yourself,” true enough. But how many people can be themselves if they don’t feel free to disagree? [共5题]
(1) The purpose of an interview is _____ _. (A) to obtain a job offer (B) to obtain a job you want
(C) to meet employer’s expectations
