By The best things you can say in an interview won’t necessarily get you the job on their own, but they can certainly pave the way. Keep these five things in mind as you go through the interviewing process to give yourself the best chance at landing the job.
面试时你精彩的应答不见得能保证让你得到这份工作，但肯定能在这个方向上做出贡献。面试时记住下面五件事，能有效提高你成功的几率。
Ask Good Questions
聪明地提问
According to Howard Pines, founder and CEO of BeamPines, “the best thing a candidate can do at an interview is ask good questions.”
BeamPines的创始人兼首席执行官霍华德.派恩说：“面试时候选人能做的最好的事情就是聪明地提问”。
Doing so shows that you are thoughtful and interested in understanding the company. There’s usually a chance to ask questions at the end of your interview, so be ready with questions that show you’re engaged in the process.
你这么做的话，能显示出你善于思考，对公司感兴趣。通常面试最后给机会让你提问，所以参加面试时要准备好问题。
Pines suggests several questions, including:
派恩建议提这样一些问题，诸如：
What are the biggest short- and long-term issues I would need to focus on in this position?
在短期和长期内，我在这个岗位上要注意的重点分别是什么？
What would I need to focus on differently than the previous person in this position?
与前一任员工相比，我在这个岗位上要关注哪些不同的点？
What organizational issues should I be aware of?
我要注意哪些组织方面的问题呢？
“I’m flexible.”
“我都可以。”
Whether it’s about possible job duties, a potential start date or simply timing for the second interview, stressing your flexibility makes you easy to get along with.
无论是工作职责，哪天能开始上班，还是确定什么进行下次面试，强调你的灵活性会让人觉得你这人好相处。
Hiring managers don’t like complications, and having to coordinate complicated schedules or haggle over a job description eventually just makes you look difficult. While you certainly don’t want to be a pushover -- and “flexible” shouldn’t define your salary negotiation -- show your potential employer that you’re interested in results that work for everyone.
招聘经理们不喜欢把事情复杂化，那样他们不得不和相关人员调整日程，或者在工作描述上斤斤计较以让你觉得很难做到。当然在谈薪水的时候你可别这么好说话，要不应聘的公司会认为这份工作谁都能来做。
The Company’s Own Words
用带有应聘公司特点的词汇
Before your interview, become familiar with the company’s website and literature. Pay attention to the words used -- what’s important to the organization?
面试前，熟悉下公司的网站和文章。注意他们的用语-公司里什么最重要？
“In your interview, hit key words that appeared on the company website or brochure,” says Olivia Ford of Adeptio. “These key words might include team, leadership, simplistic, culture or growth.”
“面试时用公司网站和手册里的关键词。”Adeptio的奥利维亚.福特说， “这些关键词有可能包括团队、领导力、简单化、文化或成长。 ”
Mixing these keywords into your answers can provide a subtle hint that you are plugged in to what the organization is looking for.
在你的回答中用这些词汇会微妙地提示招聘人员，你已经融入到公司找招聘的这个岗位中了。
“That’s a Good Question.”
“这个问题提得好。”
Use this phrase instead of blurting out “I don’t know” if the interviewer stumps you with a surprise question. It can give you a few moments to come up with an answer and, in the meantime, strokes the interviewer's ego a little bit too.
如果面试官提了个令人惊讶的问题，你就这样回答，而不要脱口而出说：“我不知道” 。这个办法能挤出一点时间让你找出答案，同时让面试官为自己感到一点沾沾自喜。
Avoid the “I don’t know” answer when possible, but of course don’t lie about your experience or training.
尽可能不要说“我不知道”，当然不要在工作和培训经历上撒谎。
Reasons You Want the Job.
应聘此工作的原因
Knowing a job prospect’s motivations is important for managers who are hiring.
了解应聘者的工作动机对招聘经理们来说很重要。
During your interview, talk about how this position fits into your future plans and the ideas you have about your career, how it fits with your values, and what you would like to learn from it. Talk about how you see yourself in relation to the company and what you believe you can bring to the position.
面试时，谈谈这份工作怎样适合你，将来的职业规划，与你的价值观如何匹配，以及你能从中学到什么。谈谈你对公司的看法和将来能做出什么样的贡献。
These kinds of thoughts show who you are as a person, and go a long way toward giving the hiring manager an idea about how you might fit in the company’s culture and values.
这些观点能说明你是个什么样的人，对于招聘经理判断你是否符合公司文化和价值观大有裨益。
