若是想要好好地面試，就該對參加面試有自信。

So we've got 10 tips to help you on your way.

所以我們整理了 10 個幫助你達成理想面試技巧。

The first thing, is you wanna actually understand the company and where you're going to be interviewed.

首先，要實際了解你要去面試的公司和地方。

Get to know them so you feel confident knowing about them.

好好了解他們，這樣就會因此感到自信。

The next thing you want to do, is practice your interview questions.

第二點要做的就是練習面試問題。

You can practice with friends, you can practice in front of the mirror, or just do it with yourself.

可以和朋友們練習，可以在鏡子前練習，或是就直接對著自己練習也可以。

But practicing your response is really important.

練習怎麼回答真的非常重要。

Then, you want to think about what you are going to wear and how you'll present yourself.

接下來，要思考面試穿著和如何呈現自己。

And it's good to have an idea about that company, so that you know what people are wearing and how you can match the culture.

建議要對那家公司有概念，這樣就知道那裡員工習慣的穿著以及自己該怎麼穿來配合公司文化。

Then you want to think about your hair and being neat and tidy.

然後要考慮髮型和個人整潔。

This is an expectation of most employers in how we present ourselves.

大部分雇主對於我們呈現自己的樣子都有這些基本期望。

The next thing you want to do is: How you are going to get there?

下一步就是要計畫好要怎麼去面試。

Make sure you research beforehand how to get there.

要事先查好交通資訊。

If it's driving, if it's walking, if it's public transport.

不管是開車、步行還是大眾運輸工具。

Make sure you've got a plan in your mind so that you're prepared and not nervous at the last minute that you've taken the wrong bus or train.

要確保腦中有交通計畫，這樣你就都準備好了，而且不會在最後一刻才緊張擔心自己是不是搭錯公車或火車。

Then you want to make sure you're arriving 15 minutes before your interview.

另外，最好在面試 15 分鐘前到場。

You want to get there and feel relaxed.

到達時心情放鬆當然最好。

And trust me, when you get there earlier, the person seeing you notices this, and this is an important piece.

而且相信我，如過你提早到，接見你的人會注意到，這點相當重要。

You don't ever want to be late to an interview.

面試絕對不可以遲到。

You also want to make sure you have put your phone on silent, not vibrate, but silent.

也要確定面試時手機有關靜音，不是震動喔，是靜音。

This is really important, interviewers pay attention to these things.

這非常重要，面試官都會注意這些細節。

So make sure when you're shaking the interviewer's hand, you actually apply the same amount of pressure that they are giving you in that handshake.

此外握面試官手的時候，要注意握手力道要和對方一樣。

This is important because it helps establish rapport and trust and you're not overpowering your handshake but you're not underpowering it.

這很重要因為有助於建立信任融洽的氛圍，你沒有壓過對方的握手也沒有太軟弱。

Then you want to have a list of questions that you can actually ask, that you've thought about that mean something to you.

接著，還要先列一份問題清單，包含了對自己有意義、事先想清楚並且真正可以詢問的問題。

This shows initiative and the interviewer will enjoy knowing that you've done some research and you're curious about the company.

這點會表現出你的主動性，而面試官也會很高興得知你有事先做研究並且對公司很好奇。

Another great idea is, ask your friends about their interviewing experiences, what's worked, what hasn't worked.

另外一個好方法就是詢問朋友的面試經驗，什麼適合和什麼不適合。

The more you can learn from others, it really does help you relax and calm yourself as you go into any interview.

向他人學習得越多，就真的可以在面試時讓自己冷靜放鬆下來。

So finally, take your time answering questions.

最後呢，回答問題慢慢來。

You have all the time in the world you need in doing this.

你絕對有最充足的時間可以回答。

This is a really important thing, don't rush it.

這非常重要，不要急。

Breathe, relax, and enjoy the process.

深呼吸、放輕鬆，並且享受面試過程。

This gives the interviewer a chance to get to know you.

這會讓面試官有機會好好認識你。

And that's ultimately what you want to be doing.

而這就是你的終極目標。
