There are many ways for an interview to go wrong. You show up late. There's a stain on your shirt. You accidentally insult the interviewer's mother. All avoidable mistakes。
搞砸一個(gè)面試的方法有很多。你遲到了，你把襯衫弄臟了，你無(wú)意中侮辱了面試官的媽媽。所有這些都是可以避免的錯(cuò)誤。
Sometimes, however, there simply isn't a clear explanation for why an interview isn't going well. Sometimes, no matter what you do or say, an interview just fizzles。
但是有時(shí)候，并沒(méi)有一個(gè)清楚的理由來(lái)解釋為什么面試會(huì)變得很失敗。有時(shí)候，不管你做什么或是說(shuō)什么，面試就是失敗了。
Don't panic--you can save this interview。
別驚慌失措--你還能把面試挽救回來(lái)。
The first step: Smile。
第一步：微笑。
Body language plays an important part in an interview. If you relax your shoulders and give a big ol'grin, you'll feel more comfortable ... and so will the interviewer. Smiling also helps increase your energy and project confidence -- all plusses in an interview。
肢體語(yǔ)言在面試中能起到非常大的作用。如果你放松你的雙肩加上一個(gè)大大的笑容，你會(huì)覺(jué)得更舒服。面試官也一樣。微笑能夠提升你的能量，增強(qiáng)你的自信--這在面試中都會(huì)被加分。
While smiling is a good start to turning an interview around, there are other steps you can take。
微笑是轉(zhuǎn)變面試方向的一個(gè)好的開(kāi)始，下面還有一些你能采取的步驟：
Ask the Interviewer Questions
向面試官提問(wèn)
This is known as the “switcheroo.”
這叫做"突變" 。
If you feel that you just aren't giving the right answers to an interviewer's questions, try changing tactics--and ask the interviewer a few questions of your own。
如果你感覺(jué)對(duì)于面試官的提問(wèn)你就是不能做出正確的回答，試試換個(gè)策略--問(wèn)面試官一些你自己的問(wèn)題。
If you momentarily switch the focus from yourself to the interviewer, it will give you a chance to regroup and compose yourself. Also, it will make the interviewer do some talking, perhaps giving you a clue to what he or she is looking for。
如果你能暫時(shí)性的把焦點(diǎn)從你自己這里轉(zhuǎn)移到面試官那邊，你就有機(jī)會(huì)重新理清思路。同時(shí)，還能讓面試官說(shuō)說(shuō)話，也許能給你一點(diǎn)有關(guān)面試官在尋找什么特質(zhì)的人的提示。
Be sure to prepare your questions in advance and make sure they are appropriate. Some examples:
一定要提前準(zhǔn)備好問(wèn)題，并且確定這些問(wèn)題問(wèn)得合適。這里有一些例子：
What's your favorite thing about working at this company?
在這家公司工作你最喜歡什么?
How would you describe the working environment here?
你覺(jué)得這里的工作環(huán)境怎么樣?
What's a typical day like in the department?
這個(gè)部門通常一天是怎么過(guò)的?
Get Feedback
尋求反饋
If an interviewer seems bored or cold while you're answering a question, all is not lost。
如果面試官在你回答一個(gè)問(wèn)題的時(shí)候看上去很不耐煩冷冰冰的，你還沒(méi)有失去一切。
