　　4 Presentation Hints for a Good Job Interview

　　准备一次完美面试的4点陈述小技巧

　　As the presidential candidates answer endless variations of the same questions in pursuit of the ultimate government job, we can't help but be reminded of our own often-torturousexperiences on job interviews.

　　为了在竞争中能够最后赢得在政府部门的最高机构工作，总统候选人需要就同样的问题回答出无尽变化的答案，这使得我们不由想起无数次折磨人的面试经历。

　　If, like the candidates, we could review our performances on tape, what might we see?

　　如果像总统候选人那样，我们可以在录像中看到自己的表现，我们将会看到什么呢?

　　Watch and Listen to Yourself

　　观察，聆听你自己

　　"Verbal fillers are the No. 1 problem," says Randy Bitting, cofounder of InterviewStream, a Web-based service that gives job seekers the chance to tape and watch themselves in mock interviews.

　　InterviewStream网站专门为求职者提供机会让他们有机会录下自己在模拟面试中的表现，从而仔细观察，网站创始人之一Randy Bitting说："口头的记录是最大的问题。"

　　"People are so used to texting and emailing in short phrases that they can get stuck putting together a few complete sentences," he observes. "It's better to opt for silence while you gather your thoughts, especially if you're nervous."

　　他说："人们习惯性地在邮件或书写中运用一些简单的词语来使劲拼凑成一句话，当你在思考的时候，最好保存沉默，尤其是在你很紧张的时候。"

　　Of course, nervousness can also generate over-talking. "We have a bar running along the bottom of the screen as you're being recorded to mark the passage of time," Bitting says. "We strongly suggest that respondents limit their answers to two minutes, at most."

　　当然了，紧张也可能引起你说话说个不停，Bitting 说"我们在屏幕的底部安装了条码计时器，可以记录你用的时间。我们强烈推荐求职者的回答最多不超过两分钟。"

　　Watching yourself on tape is also a good way to monitor things like dress -- too much cleavage, too-short cuffs -- and gestures, Bitting adds. "People don't realize how many times they scratch their heads or fliptheir ties."

　　在录像上观察你自己也是一种管理其他事情比如自己衣着的好方法，穿得太暴露了，袖子太短了，也可以注意到你发言时的姿态，Bitting补充说："人们都没注意到自己在面试中抓了几次头发，或动了几次领带。"
