Never Say These 11 Things During A Job Interview (Unless You Don't Want The Job)求職面試的時候千萬別說這11句話（除非你不想要這個工作）The hiring manager has already sifted through resumes and decided that they want to meet you. Now it』s your turn to make an impression.招聘經理已經篩選過了簡歷，並決定和你見一見。現在是你讓他眼前一亮的機會了。Avoid these 11 statements next time you』re up for a job.下次面試的時候要避免講這11句話。1. 「THAT』S A GREAT QUESTION!」「這是個很好的問題！」While this phrase may be a great addition to social conversations, it』s not something an interviewer needs to hear. 雖然這句話在日常社交里是道不錯的配菜，但它並不是面試官想聽到的東西。Instead of sounding surprised that the recruiter asked a question, remember that you』ve prepared for this interview. 記住，你是為這場面試做好了準備的，不要在面試官問問題的時候表現出吃驚。Get straight down to answering their questions.直接回答他們的問題。2. 「WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THE ROLE, AGAIN?」「這個職位叫什麼來著？」Any questions showing your lack of research into the company, the job description, or the industry itself show that you haven』t adequately prepared. 任何一個問題，如果它讓人覺得你並沒有事先調查好這家公司、這個職位、這個行業，那它都只能說明你做的準備不足。There』s no doubt it』s important to ask your interviewer questions, but the questions you ask should be targeted toward information you can』t find online: what the company culture is like, how the values of the company play out in day-to-day business, etc.雖然問面試官問題的確很重要，但這些問題應該著重於那些你在網上找不到的信息：比如公司的企業文化、他們如何在每天的運作中體現自己的價值觀，等等等等。3. 「I』VE ACTUALLY NEVER DONE THIS TYPE OF JOB BEFORE, BUT . . . 「「實際上我從來沒有做過這類工作，不過……」If you have a lack of experience, your resume will show it. 如果你的經驗不夠，他們早就在簡歷上看出來了。In fact, the interview is your chance to creatively connect the dots between your resume and your decision to apply for the job. 實際上，你應該在面試中創造性地說明你簡歷上的那些資質和你的求職決定之間的關係。It』s where you』re able to tell the interviewer why you』ll be a perfect fit for the job, even if that』s not what it looks like on paper.這是個機會，你現在可以告訴面試官你為什麼是這份工作的完美人選，即使實際情況和你簡歷上寫的不一樣。4. 「I REALLY CAN』T IMAGINE ANYONE MORE QUALIFIED THAN ME」「我真的想不出有誰比我更合適了」Self-aggrandizing during an interview only serves to hurt you in the end. 在面試中自我誇大，最終只會適得其反。Since you haven』t seen the resumes of the other applicants, there』s no use in overtly comparing yourself to them. 你並沒有看過其他候選人的簡歷，所以沒必要公開地把自己和他們作比較。What』s important to learn is the art of the subtle comparison. 你應該學一學怎樣微妙地作比較。The key is being able to talk about the things that make you special–not just saying that you』re special.要點就是：談談你做過哪些與眾不同的事，而不是單純說你自己與眾不同。5. 「MY LAST BOSS WAS TERRIBLE」「我上一個老闆超差勁」Complaining about how you didn』t get along in your last work environment is detrimental on two levels. 抱怨你在上一個工作環境中的不適有兩方面的害處。First, it shows your lack of ability to cope with a challenging situation and move past it. 首先，這表現出你不能應對也不能忍受挑戰性的環境。Second, the last thing your interviewer wants is for you to be talking trash about their company or employees in the future. 其次，面試官最不希望的就是你將來離職之後說這家公司和員工的壞話。Obviously, it』s important to talk about past challenges you』ve faced on the job–but critically evaluate, don』t complain.顯然，談談自己過去在工作上面對過的挑戰是很重要的——但你應該進行批判性的評估，而不是抱怨。6. 「THIS WILL BE A GREAT STEPPING STONE TO MY NEXT CAREER MOVE」「這對於我事業的下一步來說，是一個很好的跳板」While this may be the exact reason you want this job, it』s not a savvy move to share with the interviewer. 雖然這可能的確是你申請這份工作的原因，但把它告訴面試官顯然是不明智的。Hiring managers are generally looking for someone who will display a long-term commitment to the company. 招聘經理通常都願意找那些願意為公司長期服務的人。Instead, ask questions about your opportunities for advancement in the company. 你應該問一問你在這家公司能得到怎樣的發展機會。This shows that you mean to stay with the company and let them benefit from your developing skills, knowledge, and maturity.這表現出你打算留在這家公司並讓他們從你在技能、知識、閱歷上的成長中獲益。7. 「I DON』T KNOW」「我不知道」There』s always a better way to respond to a question you』re unsure of than saying, 「I don』t know.」 總會有一個比說「我不知道。」更好的辦法來回答一個你拿不準的問題。Of course, it』s always important to be humble and not make up what you』re not sure of, but this is where your communication skills come into play.當然，「保持謙遜、不假裝知道自己不懂的事」永遠都是很重要的，而這就是考驗你談話技巧的時候了。8. 「I DON』T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU」「我沒有問題要問你」Having questions prepared for your interviewer is almost as important as being able to answer the questions they throw at you. 準備好問面試官的問題，和回答好他們問你的問題同樣重要。The questions you ask are an opportunity to display the deep knowledge you have of the company.問問題恰好是個表現你對這家公司的深刻理解的機會。9. 「THAT』S A REALLY NICE WATCH YOU HAVE ON!」「你戴的手錶真不錯！」Attempts to flatter your interviewer will most likely fall short–especially in relation to appearance or material possessions. 試圖恭維你的面試官一般都會適得其反——特別是當你恭維的是他們的外表或者物質財富的時候。If you really must compliment the interviewer, make it related to something you know they』ve done in the business, or even talk about a move the company made that you admired.如果你非得表揚一下你的面試官，那就說些你所知的TA以前在工作中做過的事，或者說說你認可這家公司的哪些舉動。
