Most job seekers will not go through an interview process like “The Appr entice,” a reality TV show, but the fundamentals are universal: making a perso nal connection with the interviewer, demonstrating what qualities you will brin g to the position, and setting yourself apart from the competition, hopefully i n a positive way. By watching the program, job seekers can learn a lot about th e dynamic between interviewer and interviewee. Hiring authorities can also lear n ways to judge candidates. The following are some tips for job seekers.

Don’t rely on generalities. When asked why you should be hired or not fi red, back up statements with quantifiable evidence. When asked why they should be retained, Jessie and her other team members provided generalities about thei r leadership skills and characters, but none offered concrete examples of speci fic accomplishments.

Dress for success. At first, the women in particular looked more like the y were competing for positions with an escort service than with a major real es tate company. However, they quickly came around, and learned that in order to b e considered professional one has to dress in professional attire.

Ask for the job. One of the biggest mistakes many job seekers make is rui ning an otherwise successful interview by not actually asking for the job. It m ight seem unnecessary. After all, the job seeker would not have applied if he o r she did not want the job. However, by asking for the job in the interview, th e job seeker is sending a strong message to the employer that he or she is inte rested in the job and is enthusiastic about the opportunity.

Take responsibility for your decisions. In a performance review and even in some job interviews, particularly for upper management positions, a candidat e is often asked to explain or defend actions and decisions. The employer, befo re investing money in a new employee, wants to make sure that you recognize pro blems or failures and, most importantly, that you learn something that will mak e you a better employee and the company more profitable. When a project leader makes excuses or blames others on the team, it does not enhance the individual’s image and it does not tell the employer that anything was learned. [共5题]

(1) All the fundamental qualities are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _____ _.

(A) showing the good qualities you will bring to the position

(B) building a personal connection with the interviewer

Not only does Nick A. Corcodilos, a famous headhunter, have a keen eye fo r tracking talent, but also he gives smart advices for job candidates. Here are his new principles for successful job hunting.

Your résumé is meaningless. Headhunters know a résumé rarely gets you ins ide a company. All it does is outline your past-largely irrelevant since it doe sn’t demonstrate that you can do the work the hiring manager needs done.

Don’t get lost in HR. Headhunters try to get around the human-resources department whenever possible. “Most HR departments create an infrastructure th at primarily involves processing paper,” Corcodilos says. “They package, orga nize, file and sort you. Then, if you haven’t gotten lost in the shuffle they might pass you on to a manager who actually knows what the work is all about. W hile the typical candidate is waiting to be interviewed by HR, the headhunter i s on the phone, using a back channel to get to the hiring manager.” Do the sam e in your job search: apply directly to the person who will ultimately make the hire.

The real matchmaking takes place before the interview. A headhunter sends a candidate into an interview only if he or she is clearly qualified for the p osition. In your own job hunt, make the same effort to ensure a good fit. Know the parameters of the job when you walk into the interview. Research the compa ny, finding out about its culture, goals, and competitors.

As you investigate a prospective employer, you’ll often find you and the company are not made for each other. “And that’s good,” Corcodilos says, “b ecause when you do find the right fit, you’ll walk into an interview with conf idence, having decided this is where you want to work.” So give yourself an at titude adjustment. If you convince yourself the manager wants to hire you, you’ll have a positive attitude at the interview, and your attitude might influence the manager to feel good about you.

The smart job-seeker needs to get rid of several standard myths about int erviewing before starting to pound the pavement looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.

Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer

Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you wan t. That often means rejecting job offers you don’t want! Incompetent job-seeke rs, however, become so used to accommodating employer’s expectations that they often easily qualify for jobs they don’t want. So, before you do back-flips fo r an employer, be sure you want the job.

Myth 2: Always please the interviewer

Not true. Try to please yourself. Giving answers that you think will suit a potential employer, losing touch with your own feelings (in order to get in touch with some other person’s feelings) and, in general, practicing an awful policy of appeasement are certain to keep you from success and progress. Of cou rse, don’t be hostile----nobody wants to hire someone hostile. But there is pl ainly a middle ground between being too ingratiating (逢迎的)and being hostile. An effective interview (whether you are offered the job or not) is like an exc iting encounter in conversation with your neighbor on an airplane.

Myth 3: Try to control the interview

Nobody “controls” an interview----neither you nor the interviewer----al though one or both parties often try. When somebody tries to control us, we res ent it. When we try to control somebody, they resent us. Remember, you can’t c ontrol what employers think of you, just as they can’t control what you think of them. So hang loose when interviewing; never dominate the interview.

Myth 4: Don’t disagree with the interviewer

Another silly myth. If you don’t disagree at times, you become, in effec t, a “yes” man or woman. Don’t be afraid to disagree with your interviewer---- in a pleasant and pleasing way. And don’t hesitate to change your mind. The worst that could happen would be that the interviewer thinks, “There’s a pers on with an open mind!” Then conventional wisdom says “be yourself,” true eno ugh. But how many people can be themselves if they don’t feel free to disagree? [共5题]

The chief purpose of work is not to produce things but to build man. It i s not so important what shape or form our work may take; what is vitally import ant is our attitude toward that work.

Even if the particular duty is one which doesn’t seem worth doing, if yo u must do it, it is important to do it right. Even if no one else will ever kno w whether you did it right or not, you will know. By making a commitment to qua lity work, you make a commitment you can be. When you do as little as possible or just enough to get by, you are not merely cheating your employer, your custo mers, your clients, and your co-workers, but most importantly, you cheat yourse lf. You cheat yourself out of an opportunity to develop pride and self-worth. Y ou cheat yourself out of an opportunity to meet a challenge and develop your in ner powers and abilities. You may be able to get away with cheating others, but you never get away with cheating yourself.

Thus, the key is a commitment to yourself to use every possible opportuni ty for self-development and treat every work assignment, no matter how small or boring, as a challenge that can be used in your development.

Work is a projection of self. Consciousness can regard any job as a poten tial opportunity for self-expression, for play, for creativity, for the further ance of social objectives, and it can arrange the factors in the job so that th ey form a means of self-expression.

Most jobs contain at least some limited options for creativity. To the ex tent that any job can be done in different ways, the job presents you with an o pportunity to project your unique abilities and values into that job. Any type of communication, written or spoken, presents a significant opportunity for cr eative expression. Even if your efforts are reviewed and must be toned down to fit into the mold of your organization, there is always a slight opening throug h which you can project your unique personality. Use these opportunities to exp ress and confirm your existence.
