问题                     Five Interviewing Fundamentals
    The most important thing to find out when you interview someone is if you like the person. You can teach someone to be competent in the skills you need, but you can’t teach someone to have an appealing personality. No matter what the person talks about for thirty minutes—really, much fewer than thirty—you can figure out if you like them.
    1. Learn how to conduct an interview.
    You need to understand what is driving the interviewer and how he or she is thinking. So know enough about the interview process to put yourself in your counterpart’s shoes. If the person is bad at interviewing, you can run the show. If the person is good, you have to figure out how to meet their agenda, make your points, and still be likeable.
    2. Learn from other people’s mistakes.
    The best way to see people making errors in interviews is to interview them yourself. But you can also read about other people’s interviewing incompetence. Jobaloo. com shows how candidates misread a seemingly innocuous question. And CareerBuilder. com lists some examples of extremely bad judgment.
    3. Know your agenda.
    What is the image you are trying to convey in the interview? Match that to the kind of job you are trying to land. You should have three points about yourself that you aim to get across in the interview. Before I became a full-time writer, mine were: great at executing a plan, a manager who everyone loves to work for, very reliable. I wanted those points to come across because I wanted to be hired to a position where I would have a lot of responsibility to execute a visionary plan and manage a large team.
    4. Practise.
    You can find lots of lists about how to interview well. Take a look at them and you’ll notice that they are all about practising: Avoid too much information, cut the puffy stuff, know your strengths and weaknesses. These are all things you can practise. If you think you can wing it in an interview, you’re wrong. There are no questions that cannot benefit from preparation, so any question you look unprepared for makes you look clueless about the interview process at best and lazy at worst.
    5. Be comfortable with silence.
    People who can remain calm during silence look powerful and comfortable with themselves. People who have to fill silence end up saying stupid things. Part of your interview practice should be to sit, saying nothing, so you are comfortable when that happens in an interview.
What is the function served by CareerBuilder. com?
选项 A、to help you accumulate experience in interview
B、to show you bad interview examples
C、to offer lists of innocuous questions
答案A
解析 题干意为：CareerBuilder．com网站的功能是什么?A项意为：能帮助你积累面试方面的经验，B项意为：给你提供失败面试的例子，C项意为：给你提供无关紧要的面试问题的清单。原文第五段第二行提到：“Jobaloo．com给你展示应试者如何误解看似无关痛痒的面试问题。CareerBuilder．com给你提供严重的错误判断的例子。”根据文意可知CareerBuilder．com的例子是关于应试者严重的错误判断看似无关痛痒的面试问题的。C项与此不符，故错误；B项虽然提到例子，但是面试失败的例子和错误判断问题的例子不是同一概念，所以B项也错误；而通过所提网站提供的例子，应试者可以了解如何避免误解问题并积累相关经验，A项与此吻合，故答案为A。
