面試官真正想要的是這些！

許多求職者在面試完會有一種感覺，就是與面試官詳談甚歡，最后卻沒得到這份工作?為什么?因為你沒有給出面試官想要……

誤區(qū)1：

When they ask where you want to be in five years, they want you to demonstrate ambition.

當他們問你五年的目標時，他們是想你證明你的野心。

What they really want: your willingness to toil away at the same job happily and indefinitely.

誤區(qū)2：

If you're invited to an interview, the job is still open.

如果你被邀請參加一次面試，說明這個工作崗位依然空缺。

Frequently hiring managers just go through the motions of interviewing candidates after having picked an inside applicant or someone with a personal connection to the company.

招聘經理在已經挑選好一位內部申請人或者與這家公司有私人關系的應聘者之后，通常不會認真對待來面試的求職者。

誤區(qū)3：

Hiring managers value skills over physical attractiveness.

招聘經理更看重技能，而不是外表的吸引力。

There's a lot of research that demonstrates that looks do matter, Couper says. What should an unattractive job seeker do? "Plastic surgery," he deadpans.

有很多研究證明外表很重要，庫佩說。一個缺乏吸引力的求職者應該做什么呢?“整形手術”，他面無表情地說。

誤區(qū)4：

They want you to accept their offer of refreshment.

他們希望你能接受他們提供的茶點。

Interviewers feel obliged to be polite and offer you a drink, but they do not really want to go fetch that cup of tea.

誤區(qū)6：

There's a right answer to an interviewer's question.

面試官的問題有一個正確的答案。

When you're asked a tough question, the interviewer is usually more interested in seeing how you go about addressing it than in precisely what you end up saying.

當你被問到一個很難回答的問題時，這位面試官通常會更有興趣看看你是如何解決它，而不是你到頭來說了些什么。

誤區(qū)7：

You should keep your answers short.

你應該保持答案簡短。

The interviewer doesn't want to have to think of another question to ask you. "If you're giving information that's hitting what they need to know, then they're happy," says Couper.

面試官不必想另一個問題問你。“如果你給出的信息碰巧是他們需要知道的，他們會很滿意，”庫佩表示。

誤區(qū)8：

The most qualified person gets the job.

Couper himself says he's hired less qualified but friendlier applicants over more talented job seekers who seemed they might be difficult to get along with.

庫佩自己說，他雇傭資歷較低但是友好的求職者，而不是才華橫溢但是很難相處的求職者。

誤區(qū)9：

The interviewer asks good questions.

面試官提出合適的問題。

The person interviewing you is likely harried and overworked, because he needs to hire someone. He may have barely glanced at your résumé and given no thought to your qualifications.

面試你的這個人可能忙碌和勞累，因為他需要雇人。他或許僅僅瞥了一眼你的簡歷，并沒有注意到你的資格證書。
