Congratulations! You have applied for a job and nowyou are getting ready for that important job interview and you are looking forwardto making a good impression on your future (hopefully) boss.

When you walk in the room the very first impressionyou make on the interviewer can have a great influence on the rest of theinterview. It is important that you introduce yourself, shake hands, and arefriendly. In a job interview, the first question is often a “breaking the ice”type of question. Don’t be surprised if the interviewer asks you somethinglike: “How are you today?” or “What do you think of the weather lately?” Answerthe question without going into too much detail.

Talking about qualifications (资历) is the most important part of any job interview.Your qualifications include your education and any special training you mayhave received in the past. Your qualifications also include your experience inany previous work. It is important to explain what experience you have indetail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well youaccomplished your tasks. This is not the time to be modest.

Try to avoid some big mistakes in the job interview,such as leaving the mobile on and criticizing previous bosses. The worst thingis you yourself have no questions. Having no questions shows you are either notinterested or not prepared. Remember that interviewers are more impressed withthe questions you ask than the selling points you try to make.
