8. Don't Exaggerate or Lie. 不要夸张或撒谎。
You might be tempted to embellish your achievements in the interview, but it will come back to haunt you on the job!
在面试中粉饰自己过去所取得的成绩也许是一种自然的冲动。但是，如果这样，你的结局会比较悲惨――你会很快在工作中露出马脚……
9. Follow the interviewer's lead. 跟随面试官的思路。
- Don't try to take over the interview. Stick to the main subject at hand, but do not dwell too long on one point.
- 不要试图在面试中反客为主。跟随主线索，但不要在一点上谈得过多。
- It is better to deal with many questions rather than just one or two in-depth questions, unless that's where the interviewer leads you.
- 回答一两个深奥的问题不如言简意赅地回答更多的问题，除非前者是面试官希望的局面。
10. Be prepared for personal questions, even some inappropriate ones. 准备好回答个人问题，甚至是一些不妥当的问题。
Anticipate how you will handle personal questions without blowing your cool. Some interviewers may not be aware of what they can and cannot legally ask you.
面试前考虑一下如何在不被激怒的情况下应对可能被问到的个人问题。一些面试官也许意识不到哪些问题该问或哪些问题不该问。
11. Emphasize the positive. 要积极而真实。
- Be frank and honest, but never apologize for lack of experience or weaknesses.
- 要坦率而诚实，从来不要因为自己的弱点或缺乏经验而向面试官致歉。
- Your lack of experience has one very positive feature: you do not have to "unlearn" bad habits or different practices learned from previous employers.
- 缺少经验有一个很大的优势---你去新的“东家”之后，不需要改掉从前一个“东家”那里学到的坏习惯或不同的工作方法。
12. Wait for an offer to bring up salary. 等候对方来提出工资的问题。
Let the interviewer bring up this subject. Often salary and benefits are not discussed at all on the first interview.
让面试官提出工资的问题。通常，第一次面试中不会讨论工资和福利的事情。
13. Don't be afraid to think before you speak. 考虑好再说。
- Use silence and intentional pause to your advantage. Time is occasionally needed to think and to reflect. The interviewer will respect you for taking a question seriously enough to give it a moment or two of consideration before answering.
- 利用缄默和有意识的停顿。有时候我们需要时间来考虑和深思。花上一点时间来考虑如何作答表明了你的慎重态度，面试官也会尊重你的。
- Breathe and pause before answering a question, this gives you time to react in a considered way and it ensures that the interviewer has finished the question.
- 在回答一个问题之前要呼吸并停顿，这会给你时间斟酌答案，并确保面试官完成了提问。（不要抢话）
14. Emphasize what you can do for the organization. 强调你能为机构做什么。
- Emphasize your transferable skills.
- 强调你的技能。
- Focus on your ability to tackle new situations, your communication skills, interpersonal abilities, analytical thinking talents, and other skills developed while in college or in previous positions.
- 强调你应对新情况、新局势的能力，你的沟通技巧，人际关系技巧，分析思维能力，以及其他从大学或前任雇主那里学到的技能。
