[摘要]面試時第一印象在面試官心中有舉足輕重的作用。在面試環節一開始說的內容可能會造成截然不同的結果，不管是好是壞。事實上，有些面試官會因為面試者在面試中沒有做到期望的那樣而將其拒絕。

First impressions can play a major role in how an employer perceives you as a candidate. What you say during the first phase of the interview may make a big difference in the outcome - in a good way or in a bad way.

在面試時，第一印象在面試官心中有舉足輕重的作用。在面試環節你一開始說的內容可能會造成截然不同的結果，不管是好是壞。

In fact, some hiring managers may make a decision to reject a candidate based on what they didn't do when they met them. That's why it's important to pay attention to interview manners and to carefully think through how you will introduce yourself during a job interview.

事實上，有些面試官會因為面試者在面試中沒有做到期望的那樣而將其拒絕。這就是為什么在面試中注意自己行為和想清楚如何介紹自己有多么重要的原因了。

How to Introduce Yourself at a Job Interview

如何介紹自己

When you arrive at the interview site introduce yourself to the receptionist by stating your name and the purpose of your visit. For example: "My name is Tim Jones and I have an interview scheduled with John Smith at 2 pm."

當你到達面試點時，介紹自己姓名及參加面試的目的。例如：“我叫Tim Jones，我和John Smith預約2點面試。”

You will either be escorted to the interview room or the hiring manager will come out to meet you in the reception area. Again, take the time to introduce yourself so the interviewer knows who you are.你可能會被帶到面試間或者面試官會出來見你。不過還是需要再次介紹下自己以便對方記住自己。

Offer to shake hands, even if the interviewer doesn't offer their hand first. It's good etiquette to include a handshake as part of your introduction. Tell the interviewer that it is a pleasure to meet them, smile, and be sure to make eye contact. For example: "I'm Tina Lionel, it's a pleasure to meet you."主動握手，即使面試官沒有主動和你握手。在自我介紹中主動握手也是一項重要的禮節。告訴面試官見到他很高興，微笑，并且眼神交流。比如：“我是Tina Lionel，見到你很高興。”

Tip: To avoid sweaty palms, stop in the restroom prior to the interview and wash and dry your hands. If that's not feasible, use a tissue to dry off your hands ahead of time. Here's more on how to avoid interview mistakes and how to avoid interview stress.建議：為了防止出手汗，面試前先到洗手間把手洗凈吹干。如果沒有條件的話，就用紙巾把手擦干。下面再給些如何避免面試錯誤和壓力的建議。

During the Interview

面試過程中

Many hiring managers will start an interview with an open-ended question like "Tell me about yourself." The core of your response should focus on the key elements in your background which will enable you to excel in the job for which you are interviewing. You should carefully analyze the job prior to the interview so you can point out the interests, skills, experiences, and personal qualities which will enable you to meet or exceed the requirements.

許多面試官會以諸如“請介紹下自己。”這樣的開放性問題開始。你的回應應該集中在介紹自己的強項和說明自己能夠勝任這項工作這兩方面。在面試前要對這份工作做好分析以便在面試中突出你的興趣所在，技能，經驗和個人素質這些能滿足甚至超越這項工作的要求。

Tip: Review Answers to Tell Me About Yourself Questions

建議：重溫自我介紹

Keep it Short

簡短回答

Your introduction should be concise enough to hold the interest of the interviewer. Generally, a quick recapof your most compelling qualifications will suffice. You could also throw in a couple of tidbits which are not essential to the job, but reflect your persona like the fact that you are an avid skier, have performed at comedy clubs, or collect African art. Your goal is to connect personally with the interviewer as well as to show that you're qualified for the job.

你的回答應該足夠簡短以保持面試官的注意力。一般來說，用一個簡短的強調自己優勢的自我介紹就足夠了。不過你也可以加入一些小花絮點綴你的性格，比如自己是位滑雪愛好者，表演過喜劇或是收藏非洲藝術品，雖然這些并不是該職位所必要的。你的目的是為了能和面試官建立起一種性格方面的共同點，同時也從側面說明你能勝任這項工作。

Of course, your initial comments should show your enthusiasm for the job and organization. However, don't overdo it and don't spend too much time talking about yourself. The interviewer has an agenda and time is limited, so keep your introduction brief so you can move on to the next question.當然了，初步自我評價應該展示你對這份工作的熱情。然而不要過多展示熱情，不然會減少介紹自己成分。因面試官有自己的日程，時間有限，所以盡可能簡短介紹后再回答接下來的問題。

Follow Up Questions

進一步問題

The interviewer may follow up your introduction with more questions, so it's important to remember that you will need to support whatever assertions you make during your introduction. Be prepared to provide specific examples of how and where you have utilized your assets to successfully carry out work or volunteer roles, academic projects, or other productive endeavors.

面試官可能會根據你的介紹向你進一步提問，所以你要牢記的是，你需要為你介紹的方方面面提供論證支持，比如介紹在你之前參與的志愿者活動中或者是學術項目或是其他一些創造性活動中你是如何運用你的各種能力的。
