With warmer months just around the corner, the summer internship hunt is now in full swing for college students across the US.
隨著天氣逐漸轉(zhuǎn)暖,美國大學生的夏季實習求職正在全力進行中。
You've done your research, hunkered down in the library to crank out the applications, endured the agonizing wait, and now you've finally heard back.
你已經(jīng)完成了調(diào)查研究,泡在圖書館里搞出了許多應用,忍受了痛苦的等待,現(xiàn)在終于可以得到回報了。
The only thing standing between you and that coveted internship is the interview round.
少有橫亙在你和夢寐以求的實習工作之間的,就是面試這一環(huán)節(jié)了。
You want to prepare for the questions the interviewer will ask you, but don't overlook the importance of the questions you should ask to improve your chances of landing the job.
你想提前準備面試官可能會問你的問題,但別忽視了你自己提問的重要性,這些問題會增加你找到工作的幾率。
"Asking questions is one of the very best interview strategies you can employ," says Bill Cole, author of "The Interview Success Guide" and founder of the International Mental Game Coaching Association.
“問問題是你可以采用的一個非常好的面試策略?！薄睹嬖嚦晒χ改稀返淖髡咭约皣H心理游戲指導協(xié)會創(chuàng)始人Bill Cole說道。
"It demonstrates interest in the company, and hiring managers find it refreshing," he says. "They notice that many younger candidates tend to be either overly polite, waiting to be asked questions, or shy about asking questions since they view the hiring manager as the 'authority figure' and don't want to rock the boat."
“這證明了你對公司感興趣,人事經(jīng)理會覺得耳目一新?！彼f,“他們注意到大多數(shù)年輕求職者要么過于禮貌,等著被問問題;要么太過害羞,把人事經(jīng)理看成‘權威人物’,不想惹是生非?！?br/>While it may feel more natural to leave your questions for the end of the interview, Cole recommends asking questions as you go. "By doing this, you can turn what can seem like an interrogation into a collegial, interesting conversation," he says.
在面試結束時留下你的問題好像更正常一些,Cole建議你可以在這時候問一些問題。他說,“通過這樣做,你可以把看似審問的談話變得更有學院氣息、更有趣一些?！?br/>Here are five questions you can ask to set yourself apart in your next internship interview:
你可以按照如下五個問題進行發(fā)問,它會使你在下一次的實習面試中脫穎而出。
1. What are some of the key skills and abilities necessary for someone to succeed in this position?
1. 如果成功應聘這個崗位,需要具備哪些核心技能或者能力?
If you ask this early in an interview, it can guide your entire strategy, Cole says. You can tell the interviewer how your strengths match up with what the company is seeking.
如果你在面試中早早問出這個問題,它將指導你的整個面試策略,Cole說。你可以告訴面試官自己的優(yōu)勢是什么,以及如何將你的優(yōu)勢與公司的需求相匹配。
2. If I get the internship, how do I earn top marks on my performance review?
2. 如果進入實習期,我怎樣才能在績效評估中取得高分呢?
This marks you as eager to reach for excellence. Everyone wants an ambitious new hire.
這個問題會把你定位成一個追求極致的人。大家都想要一個有雄心壯志的新員工。
3. Now that you know more about me, how do you think I can best help the company?
3. 既然你已經(jīng)對我有一定的了解,你認為我怎樣才能更大程度的幫助到公司呢?
You want to know what the interviewer thinks about the fit, Cole says. The question also potentially reveals what he or she sees you working on in the position.
你想知道面試官如何定義合適的人選,Cole說。這個問題同樣潛在地反映了他或她是怎么看待你在這個崗位的工作。
4. Is there anything else I can answer for you? I want to be as complete as possible.
4. 還有其他需要我回答的問題嗎?我想盡可能做到完整。
You ask this to gauge the interest level of the interviewer and to get feedback, Cole explains.
你問這個問題是想了解面試官對你感興趣的程度,以及得到一些反饋,Cole解釋道。
"They may say, 'There is one thing ...' and then you'll have a chance to respond to it in real time," he says. "As you ask this question, watch their facial expression and body language. That will tell you how they really feel about you."
“他們可能會說,‘有一件事...’之后你就有機會及時回答。”他說道,“當你問這個問題的時候,觀察他們的面部表情和肢體語言,這些將告訴你他們對你的真實感覺。”
Debra DelBelso, director of the career center at Siena College, told Business Insider that if your interviewer is smiling and maintaining eye contact, there's a good chance your interview is going well.
Debra DelBelso是錫耶納大學就業(yè)中心的主任,他告訴“商業(yè)內(nèi)幕”,如果你的面試官面帶微笑并且和你保持眼神交流,那么你的面試極有可能進展順利。
However, if the interviewer is crossing his or her arms, leaning away from you, or looking at the door, that might mean they're not impressed, career expert Lynn Taylor told Business Insider.
然而,如果面試官雙臂交疊,靠向椅背,或者看向門的方向,那可能說明他們沒有被打動。就業(yè)專家Lynn Taylor告訴“商業(yè)內(nèi)幕”。
5. What can I do or provide for you when I follow up?
5. 如果進入下一階段,有什么是我能做或者能提供給你的嗎?
By asking this wrap-up question, you appear thorough, helpful, and willing to make sure nothing is left to chance, Cole says.
通過問這個總結性的問題,你表現(xiàn)出自己縝密、有幫助的一面,并且有確保不漏下任何機會的意愿,Cole說。
What not to ask
不要問的問題
Cole says it's wise to refrain from asking any questions about benefits, time off, schedule accommodations, or other things that could be perceived as picky during an internship interview. "These 'custom requests' can seem presumptuous and be off-putting to the hiring manager," he says.
Cole說更好避免問任何關于福利、休假、住宿安排,或者其他讓人感覺在實習面試中很挑剔的問題?！皩θ耸陆?jīng)理來說,這些‘定制請求’看起來很冒昧、令人不愉快?！彼f。
Instead, focus your questions on the company.
相反,把你的問題集中在公司上。
"If you do some research and ask unusual questions that others won't ask, this will mark you as clever, industrious, and willing to go the extra mile to get to know the company," Cole says. "You will be memorable."
“如果你做些研究,問一些別人不會問的特殊問題,你將會被認為聰明、勤奮、愿意更深入的了解公司,”Cole說,“你會讓別人記憶深刻?！?
