面试官仅仅依靠其简历，是远远不够的。特别是对大公司来说，必须对应聘者进行面试。有些企业在招聘过程中，可以忽略笔试，但决不省略面试，从中可以看出面试的重要性。所以求职者要提前准备面试，做好准备工作了解公司、了解工作岗位、如何着装、准备简历和自我介绍。
Before your interview， there are some things you can do to maximise your chances of getting the job.
在面试前，有几件事你可以准备起来，最大化自己得到工作的机会。
一、Research the company and the job thoroughly
彻底研究公司和工作
Get acquainted with the organisation’s size， history and reputation. You could do this online， through the company’s website， or at a local library. If you know someone who works there， he or she would be a good source of information. You may not be asked about this information but it will help you understand the job.
了解这个组织的规模、历史和声誉。你可以上这个公司的官网了解或是在当地图书馆找些资料。如果你认识在那里工作的人，那会是更好的信息来源。在面试时可能不会问到此类问题，但是这些信息能帮你更了解这个公司。
二、Learn about how the interview will be conducted
了解面试会如何组织
For example， it is not impolite to ask how long the interview will take； it shows you are serious about the proceedings. Once you know approximately how long it will last， you can prepare how you will pace yourself and which are the most important points you want to make. Make sure you don‘t arrange any appointments immediately after the interview. You don’t want to feel rushed and， besides， it might stretch on beyond the specified time.
尽量去。比如，你大可以问面试会进行多长时间，这不会显得自己不礼貌、而会让对方觉得你对面试很上心。一旦你知道面试时间，你就可以为如何把握面试节奏做准备，想想哪些是你在面试中一定想要表达的点。注意：不要在面试后安排任何时间很近的事儿。你总不想面试时慌慌张张的吧？另外，指不准面试时间又延长了呢？
三、Dress code
着装要求
The company may have a dress code that you’ll need to know about. What is appropriate depends on the particular employer and job but it is better to dress formally whilst remaining comfortable. Men should dress conservatively with a tie and business suit. A fresh haircut and a shave will help and no chewing gum or cigarettes. Also only wear your wedding ring， if married， take out any earrings and cover any tattoos！
你面试的公司可能对着装也有些要求。具体穿什么也要看你的雇主或是行业，但总的说来，穿正式点儿同时穿的舒服点绝对没错。作为男士应该穿西装、系领带。最 好能剪个清爽的头型、剃干净胡子，不要嚼口香糖、不要抽烟。除非你结婚了要带上戒指之外，其他所有的耳钉、纹身统统藏起来！
四、perfect resume or presentation
优秀简历、自我介绍
Product placement is a promotional tactic used by marketers in which a real commercial product is used in fictional or non-fictional media， and the presence of the product is a result of an economic exchange. Promotion involves dissemination about a product， product line， brand， or company. Promotion is the specific mix of advertising， personal selling， sales promotion， and public relations a company uses to pursue its advertising and marketing objectives. Information gather is extremely important at this stage of the game.
如果把placement和promotion仅仅限定在一次找工作的过程中，那么地点可能就是一次面试，或者一次招聘会，而promotion可能就是招聘者推销自己的方式，可能是招聘者的一次简短的介绍（short presentation），或者一份漂亮的简历等。作为学生，就是多多利用现有的资源，比如收集网上的公司的资料、广告，参加招聘会和听取一些成功人士的求职经历，结合自己的实际情况，取长补短，把自己successfully sell出去。
