Income tax所得税A Job Interviewinterviews How to interview for a job
One of the most important components of successful job hunting is the job interview. There are thousands of people entering new careers and searching for job placement. In order to give yourself an edge over others applying for the job you want, it is important to create a solid impression during the job interview.??? Because what you say during an interview is so important, there are two rules to remember. One is to present yourself in a favorable way and stress your areas of competence. However, don't exaggerate; tell the truth. Second, listen carefully and get involved in what the interviewer is saying. Notice the interviewer's interests and relate your comments to them. The job interview is the time to 'sell' yourself by giving examples of experiences you've had related to the job and by revealing your good points. It's a good idea to have handy job resume or a list of school courses that prepared you for the job. Don't exaggerate the truth. Be honest, but show confidence in yourself and your ability to do the job.??? Each of us has sensitive areas, which could refer to your lack of an academic degree, a long period of unemployment, or lack of work experience if you are entering a new field. Answer sensitive questions. briefly and positively..???First interviewInterviewer:Good morning, Miss….

Some more advice
Plan thoughtful/Smart answers to interview questions,Show your best side
Give a clear answer to each question-
avoid answering “yes”or “no”
Speak English fluently
Listen actively and stay calm
Pay attention to your nonverbal behavior. Look the interviewer in the eye, sit up straight with both feet on the floor, control nervous habits, and smile as you are greeted.Interview questions(1)Can you tell me a bit about yourself? / Can you sell yourself in two minutes?
(2)What is your greatest weakness?
(3)Why do you work for our company? / Why are you interested in working for our company? /Why do you choose our company?
(4)We have a lot of applicants for this job, why should we appoint you? /Why should I hire you? /What do you think you are worth to us？
Could you tell me a bit about yourself/Can you sell yourself in two minutes?
Since this is often the opening question in an interview, be extra careful that you don't run off at the mouth. Keep your answer to a minute or two at most. Remember that this is likely to be a warm-up question.
You can talk something about your education ,working experience and skills. You need to present yourself in a very positive way. ″What is your greatest weakness？
　　You cannot avoid this question by saying that you do not have any weaknesses. everyone has weaknesses. The best approach is to admit your weakness but show that you are working on it and have a plan to overcome it.
I'm afraid I lack working experiences, but I’m willing to work hard and learn. I am sure I will make contribution to your company if I have chance to work for your company.
I am afraid I am a poor talker. I feel uncomfortable talking with the people whom I have just met for the first time. That’s is not good for business, so I have been studying public speaking now.
Sometimes I am hesitant in making quick decisions, but I'm sure I will be able to overcome it.
What is your greatest weakness？ OR Identify one or two, such as the following:" I tend to drive myself too hard", " I expect others to perform beyond their capacities", " I like to see a job done quickly, and I am critical if it isn’t. Note these weaknesses could also be regarded as desirable qualities. The trick with this question is to describe a weakness so that it could also be considered a virtue.
I suppose I am a bit of perfectionist. I am quite often dissatisfied with what I have done . I always think I can do it better, or in a different way.
Sometimes I’m too hard-working and I put myself under too much pressure to make things perfect.
sometimes I’m a little too honest or I misplace my trust.″Why do you want to work for us？
Cite its reputation, the opportunities it offers, and the working conditions. Stress that you want to work for this organization, not just any organization.

After following your firms progress for the past 3 years, I am convinced that xx are becoming one of the market leaders and I would like to be part of the team..
