面试英语必备：外企英语面试的七个要点

Ø Selling our skills is something we can learn how to do and a key to this is to be proactive. Anticipate potential problems and difficulties and much of this can be achieved through preparation and organisation.

Ø You must also be prepared for the common mistakes people make in interviews. Be assertive not aggressive, find a middle way between boasting and passivity.

Ø At the right moments in the conversation, take the lead and steer the interview in the direction you want. Ask questions。Try to put yourself in your interviewer’s shoes and ascertain what he or she is looking for in a perfect candidate.

Ø First impressions are important, so dress to impress. It is better to be too smart than too casual. Be likeable and enthusiastic; Body language too plays its part; maintain eye contact and give a firm confident handshake.

Ø Don’t moan about your old boss, be positive about this new company. Give more than “yes” or “no” answers but don’t talk for too long either.

Ø Plan to arrive at your interview 10 to 15 minutes early. Don’t make loud mobile phone calls, constantly text or play games. Take the time to review your materials.

Ø Breathe deeply and think positively, visualise someone you love and take that image with you into the interview.
