What caused this businessman to form a negative opinion?

Clothing.

服裝：

What you will you wear to your next job interview?

下一次面試你會穿什麼衣服？

This may seem like a shallow question, but as I interviewed experts,

這看似是一個淺顯的問題，但隨著我採訪專家。

I realized it's definitely a very important thing to consider.

我意識到這絕對是一件非常重要的事情。

Before you even open your mouth for the first time,

在你第一次開口之前。

you will have begun your first impression with the way you visually present yourself.

你將已經開始你的第一印象與你的視覺呈現方式。

In today's video, we'll sit down with three experts to discuss how to prepare yourself for an interview.

在今天的視頻中，我們將與三位專家坐下來討論如何為面試做準備。

From planning what you wear to maintaining your rituals on the day of the interview.

從計劃穿什麼衣服到維持面試當天的禮儀。

Let's make sure you have the best interview possible.

讓我們確保你有一個最好的面試。

For my non-native English students, there will also be a brief lesson at the end about how to ask

對於我的非英語母語的學生，在最後也會有一個簡短的課程，關於如何問。

for the bathroom.

為浴室。

The first thing I want to talk about is your outfit.

首先我想說的是你的裝備。

I asked two people who've done a lot of hiring

我問了兩個做了很多招聘的人。

and they both said, the way you present yourself, which includes your outfit, matters a lot.

他們都說，你展示自己的方式，包括你的衣服，很重要。

In fact, the wrong outfit might prevent you from getting the job.

事實上，錯誤的服裝可能會讓你無法得到這份工作。

Even before you start the interview.

甚至在你開始面試之前。

First impressions matter.

第一印象很重要。

I asked a local businessman, Steve, who does a lot of hiring for his business,

我問了一個當地的商人，史蒂夫，他的企業做了很多的招聘工作。

how far into an interview he knows if he'll consider hiring someone.

面試到什麼程度，他才知道是否會考慮錄用某人。

Listen to what he said.

聽聽他怎麼說。

How long into an interview of somebody do you feel like you start to have a sense of: yes,

在對一個人的採訪中，多長時間你會覺得自己開始有一種感覺：是的。

I will go forward with this person.

我將和這個人一起前進。

Oh boy, I would say, it's probably as quick as maybe five minutes.

哦，孩子，我想說，它可能快到也許五分鐘。

And sometimes, it's even that opinion has formed even before.

而有時候，甚至是之前就已經形成了意見。

It can be as early as before you even got it into the room.

可以早在你還沒進房間的時候就。

I could be in the foyer and in the hallway where you're meeting that person.

我可以在門廳和走廊裡，你要去見那個人。

I hate to admit that but yeah, it can be really quick, and really early.

我不想承認這一點，但是是的，它可以真的很快，而且真的很早。

So you have literally called someone for an interview met them as they walked in the door and

是以，你已經從字面上打電話給某人面試 他們走進門，並會見了他們

already decided there's something about this person that's not going to work out.

已經決定了這個人的一些事情是不會有結果的。

Well, I like to think that I haven't already decided but I've already, at least,

好吧，我想我還沒有決定... ...但我已經決定了，至少。

started to form an opinion that's negative.

開始形成一種意見，就是消極的。

And what led to that?

那是什麼原因導致的呢？

It's terrible to say, but I'd say appearance.

說起來很可怕，但我想說的是外表。

It is a huge first impression.

這是一個巨大的第一印象。

If I have somebody that's coming into an interview and they're wearing a hoodie and sneakers,

如果我有一個人，是進入面試 他們穿著連帽衫和運動鞋，

I'm forming a negative opinion of them that they haven't prepared, and that they

我對他們形成了一個負面的評價，他們沒有準備，而且他們

don't care about what impression they're going to be giving in my office, in my environment.

我不在乎他們在我的辦公室裡，在我的環境裡會給人什麼印象。

What you wear gives an impression of how much you care about and have prepared for this interview.

你的穿著給人的印象是你對這次面試的關心和準備。

If you've been offered an interview, that means they already like you,

如果你得到了面試的機會，那就意味著他們已經喜歡上你了。

but you can be sure you're not the only one being interviewed for that position.

但你可以肯定你不是唯一一個被面試的職位。

The minute someone sees you, what you're wearing and your body language is communicating for you.

別人看到你的那一刻，你的穿著和你的肢體語言都在為你傳達。

Make sure those things are saying what you want them to say.

確保這些東西說的是你想讓它們說的話。

We'll get into body language later in the course, but first let's go a little deeper on outfit.

我們在後面的課程中會講到肢體語言，但首先讓我們來深入瞭解一下服裝。

So how do know how dressy to go in an interview?

那麼，如何知道在面試中如何著裝呢？

Let's hear Steve's advice.

讓我們聽聽史蒂夫的建議。

We don't walk around in jeans and a t-shirt or have that extremely laid-back feel to our organization.

我們不會穿著牛仔褲和T恤走來走去，也不會讓我們的組織有那種極其悠閒的感覺。

And our...I think it's poss- that could be fine in some organizations, but in ours

而我們的... 我想這在某些組織中可能是好的，但在我們的組織中，這可能是好的。

our community would not see that as being a professional appearance.

我們的社會不會認為這是一個專業的外觀。

And so maybe that, part of that is knowing where you're interviewing and what that culture is like,

所以，也許這一點，部分是知道你在哪裡面試，以及文化是什麼樣的。

and that could be as simple as asking someone when you're, when you're setting up that interview.

這可能是簡單的，因為問別人 當你，當你設置的面試。

When that person is setting up the interview, ask them that question.

當那個人在安排面試的時候，問他們這個問題。

What's your, what's your dress code like?

你的，你的著裝是怎樣的？

So you can get a good idea what that is.

所以，你可以很好地瞭解那是什麼。

Just ask.

問吧

When someone contacts you to set up the interview, ask them, “What's the dress code for your organization?”

當有人聯繫你安排面試時，問他們："你們組織、部門的著裝要求是什麼？"

The person you're communicating with at this point will likely be impressed that you're researching,

此時與你溝通的人很可能會對你的研究印象深刻。

trying to know the organization and what's expected.

試圖瞭解組織和期望。

And if you're ever not sure, it's better to err on the side of being slightly more dressy than underdressed.

而如果你一直不確定，那就錯在稍微多穿點衣服比少穿點衣服好。

You might feel like you want to wear something really memorable.

你可能會覺得你想穿一些非常難忘的東西。

They're interviewing lots of people, right?

他們在採訪很多人，對吧？

You want them to remember you.

你想讓他們記住你。

But not for what you wore.

但不是因為你的穿著。

If they're remembering what you wore, they might not be remembering what

如果他們記住了你的穿著，他們可能不記得什麼。

stands out about you as an employee,

突出了你作為一個員工的特點。

and that's what we want them to be thinking about as they're making their decisions.

這也是我們希望他們在做決定時考慮的問題。

I spoke with a career advisor, Laura, who works at a prestigious college here in the US.

我和職業顧問勞拉聊了聊，她在美國的一所著名大學工作。

Listen to what she had to say:

聽聽她怎麼說。

What advice do you give students who are going to an interview about clothing choice,

對於服裝的選擇，你對即將參加面試的學生有什麼建議。

and appearance, and that kind of thing?

和外表，以及那種東西？

The first thing I say is to not wear anything that draws too much attention to you.

首先我說的是，不要穿太引人注意的東西。

You want the employer to be focused on what you're saying, and the connection that you're making,

你要讓僱主關注你所說的內容，以及你所建立的聯繫。

and not on what you're wearing.

而不是你的穿著。

Also not on a scent that's too strong, or a hair that's out of place.

也不上太濃的香味，也不上不合適的頭髮。

So you just want to look at yourself in the mirror before you go and say: Do I look, you know, slightly boring,

所以，你只是想看看鏡子裡的自己 在你走之前說，我看起來，你知道，有點無聊。

honestly, because you're wanting them to focus on what you're saying, and um,

老實說，因為你想讓他們專注於你說的話，和嗯，

and so that's one thing is to be thinking, you don't want anything to be distracting.

所以這就是一件事，就是要思考，你不希望有什麼事情讓人分心。

I also spoke with a woman, Cindy, who has worked as an Executive director for a non-profit in New York City.

我還採訪了一位女性，辛迪，她曾在紐約市一家非營利組織擔任執行董事。

She has literally interviewed hundreds of people, and she agrees:  keep your clothing simple.

她真的採訪過上百人，她同意：讓你的衣服簡單。

Simple.

很簡單

I wouldn't wear fancy anything. I would keep the distractions minimal.

我不會穿花哨的東西。我會保持最小的分心。

If you normally wear earrings, I think

如果你平時戴耳環，我想

it's fine to wear earrings, if you don't, I wouldn't add anything you don't normally wear.

戴耳環是可以的，如果你不戴耳環，我就不會添加你平時不戴的東西。

So there's nothing that you don't feel, sort of,

所以沒有什麼是你不覺得的，算是吧。

different from how you normally feel, and that helps people feel comfortable in their skin.

與你平時的感覺不同，這有助於人們在皮膚上感到舒適。

She also makes a good point:  you don't know what the seating situation will be in an interview,

她說的也很有道理：你不知道面試時的座次會是什麼。

so you'll want to think about that as you're choosing your outfit.

所以你在選擇衣服的時候要考慮到這一點。

I would wear something that you feel comfortable in, like,

我會穿一些你覺得舒服的衣服，比如。

ahead of time, sitting, if you're wearing a very short skirt, that can be super awkward.

提前，坐著，如果你穿的是很短的裙子，那會超級尷尬。

If you, depending on where you're interviewing. So for example,

如果你，要看你在哪裡面試。 所以，比如說。

I used to do a lot of interviews in my office, and on a couch in my office.

我以前經常在辦公室裡面試，也在辦公室的沙發上面試。

So if somebody sat down into the couch,

所以如果有人坐進沙發裡。

it made it a very hard position for--

它使它成為一個非常困難的位置 -

Now, I usually wouldn't sit on a couch because it was sort of awkward, but

現在，我通常不會坐在沙發上，因為它是有點尷尬，但。

like it could make it a really awkward place to sit if you didn't have on clothes that coverage or your legs enough.

像它可以使它一個非常尷尬的地方坐 如果你沒有在衣服上的覆蓋面或你的腿足夠。

And then that would be something that was distracting to you, and possibly to the interviewer, for the interview.

然後那會是讓你分心的東西，也可能是讓面試官分心的東西，對於面試。

Same thing with anything that's low-cut, if you're sitting slightly below somebody, like

同樣的事情，任何低胸的東西，如果你坐在稍微低於某人，像。

you just don't know what the situation is going to be, so you're going to be as

你只是不知道情況會是怎樣，所以你會像。

comfortable in the clothes that you're wearing as you can, and know that

儘可能讓自己穿的舒服，並且知道

like, however you might be sitting, you're going to be covered and feel comfortable.

像，無論你怎麼坐，你都會被覆蓋，感覺很舒服。

So if you don't have an outfit that's very clean, simple, dressy, that you feel comfortable in,

所以，如果你沒有一套很乾淨、很簡單、很洋氣、讓你覺得舒服的衣服。

it's worth investing in one as you start your job interview process.

這是值得投資的一個，因為你開始你的工作面試過程。

Plan it ahead, wear it a few times.

提前計劃，穿幾次。

Don't let your job interview be the very first time you wear something new.

不要讓你的求職面試成為你第一次穿新衣服的時候。

Make sure you know that you're comfortable in it.

確保你知道你在裡面很舒服。

You know what?

你知道嗎？

You look amazing in that outfit.

你穿上這身衣服真好看

Now let's talk about your ritual.

現在我們來談談你的儀式。

Let me tell you a little personal story.

讓我給你講一個個人的小故事。

My husband and I were set up by a mutual friend.

我和老公是被一個共同的朋友撮合的。

The first date went pretty well, and so I was kind of nervous for the second date.

第一次約會還算順利，所以第二次約會我有點緊張。

I was meeting him for brunch in the morning, and before that, I met with a friend for coffee.

我是早上和他一起吃早午餐的，在這之前，我和朋友見面喝咖啡。

I don't drink coffee.

我不喝咖啡

But for some reason, that morning, I ordered it.

但不知道為什麼，那天早上，我點了它。

And I was so jittery and had such a stomach ache, that I couldn't eat brunch at all on our date.

而我卻渾身發抖，肚子疼得厲害，以至於我們約會時根本吃不下早午餐。

It was awkward because I had significantly changed my ritual.

這很尷尬，因為我明顯改變了我的儀式。

When we're nervous, we can make weird decisions without thinking them through.

當我們緊張的時候，我們會在沒有考慮清楚的情況下做出奇怪的決定。

This can definitely happen when you're preparing something as major as a job interview.

當你在準備求職面試這樣重大的事情時，肯定會出現這種情況。

Let's listen to Laura's advice.

讓我們聽聽勞拉的建議。

Do you have any advice for people about what to do the night before an interview?

關於面試前一天晚上要做什麼，你有什麼建議給大家嗎？

And then maybe like 15 minutes before the interview, as far as preparing and feeling relaxed?

然後可能像面試前的15分鐘，至於準備和感覺放鬆？

The night before the interview, you should not do anything different than you would normally do.

面試前一天晚上，你不應該做任何與平時不同的事情。

So if you are normally going to bed at 10:00 p.m., go to bed at 10:00 p.m..

所以，如果你平時是晚上10點睡覺，就在10點睡覺。

Try not to cram your studying,

儘量不要補習。

or your research into that very last night, you should be done with your preparations by the night before,

或你的研究到最後一晚，你應該在前一天晚上完成你的準備工作。

so that you can just relax, you can eat a nice dinner, you can go to bed on time, and then the next morning,

這樣你就可以放鬆，你可以吃一頓豐盛的晚餐，你可以按時睡覺，然後第二天早上。

drink the same amount of coffee.

喝同樣數量的咖啡。

If you normally eat breakfast, eat breakfast. If you don't, don't.

如果你平時吃早餐，就吃早餐。如果你不吃，就不要吃。

Just to kind of try to keep the routine and so that nothing's out of order, and you feel a little off.

只是想盡量保持常規，這樣就不會有什麼失常，你會覺得有點不對勁。

And then 15 minutes before the interview, you should already be there.

然後在面試前15分鐘，你應該已經到了。

So give yourself plenty of time.

所以要給自己充足的時間。

You don't want to be late, that's the first point against you if you show up in an interview late.

你不想遲到，這是對你不利的第一點，如果你在面試中遲到。

And then once you're there, I always, personally, I go to the bathroom and just take a moment to relax in there,

然後一旦你在那裡，我總是，個人，我去浴室，只是花點時間在那裡放鬆。

and just, you know, make sure that nothing is weird about my hair, that no collars are turned under.

只是，你知道，確保 沒有什麼是奇怪的關於我的頭髮， 沒有領子下轉。

Just giving myself a once-over, and taking some time to breathe without anyone watching me.

And then going out into the waiting room, or wherever you're waiting for the employer,

然後到外面的候車室，或者在哪裡等僱主。

taking some deep breaths, and trying as much as possible from your belly instead of your chest,

深呼吸，儘量從腹部而不是胸部進行深呼吸。

cause we can have really shallow breathing through our chest. But you're taking it in through your belly,

因為我們可以有很淺的呼吸 通過我們的胸部，但你是通過你的腹部吸氣。

and breathing out, it's amazing what a few deep breaths can do for you.

和呼吸，深呼吸幾次就能為你做的事情，真是太神奇了。

So take a calming deep breath and prepare your body for that interview.

所以要冷靜的深呼吸，為面試做好身體準備。

We've just talked about preparing yourself, but it's also really important to prepare for connection

我們剛剛說到了自己的準備，但是準備聯繫也是非常重要的。

with your organization and the person you're interviewing with.

與你的組織和你的面試對象。

In the next two videos, we'll talk about how to do this by proper research,

在接下來的兩個視頻中，我們將講述如何通過適當的研究來做到這一點。

而現在，英語課。

Let's talk about the bathroom.

我們來談談衛生間。

I've noticed this can be confusing for some because there is no bath in bathrooms in public spaces.

我注意到這可能會讓一些人感到困惑，因為在公共場所的浴室裡沒有浴室。

A term that might be more familiar to you is 'the toilet'.

你可能更熟悉的一個詞是 "廁所"。

Laura talks about going to the bathroom before an interview to give yourself one final check in the mirror,

勞拉談到，面試前要去洗手間，對著鏡子給自己做最後的檢查。

and to have just a moment to focus before the interview starts:

並在面試開始前有片刻的專注。

I always, personally, I go to the bathroom and just take a moment to relax in there,

我個人總是會去衛生間，在裡面放鬆一下。

and just, you know, make sure that nothing is weird about my hair, that no collars are turned under.

只是，你知道，確保 沒有什麼是奇怪的關於我的頭髮， 沒有領子下轉。

Just giving myself a once-over, and taking some time to breathe without anyone watching me.

只是給自己一次機會，在沒有人看著我的情況下，花點時間呼吸。

She goes to the bathroom, the room with the bath.

她去了衛生間，有浴缸的房間。

No.

不知道

There's no bath, it's just a toilet and a sink.

沒有浴缸，只是一個馬桶和一個水槽。

But even though 'toilet' is a common term elsewhere, native speakers in the US don't use it.

但即使'馬桶'在其他地方是個常用詞，但在美國的母語使用者卻不會使用它。

We much prefer to say 'bathroom' or 'restroom',

我們更喜歡說 "浴室 "或 "洗手間"。

either one of those is great, common, natural.

無論哪一種都是偉大的、普通的、自然的。

If you say 'toilet', it's a little odd here in the US.

如果你說 "廁所"，在美國這裡就有點奇怪了。

So, if you walk in for an interview early, and you have a little time to collect yourself, you can ask,

所以，如果你提前走進面試，你有一點時間收斂，你可以問。

“Excuse me, could you tell me where the bathroom is?”

"請問，你能告訴我洗手間在哪裡嗎？"

Or “could you tell me where the restroom is?”

或者 "你能告訴我洗手間在哪裡嗎？"

That's a wonderful and polite way to ask.

這是一個美妙而禮貌的問法。

That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.

就這樣，非常感謝你使用瑞秋英語。
