Acing the Interview
You have just landed an interview for a seemingly wonderful job! Now what? Successful interviewing will be essential in order for you to lock in an offer. Here are some tips and strategies for effective interviewing from preparation through follow up.
Company Research
Research should always be your first step. Gathering background information on employers is a crucial element in successful interview preparation. You will need to be prepared to answer the questions “What do your know about our company”? and “Why do you want to work here?” Knowing as much as possible about the company"s past performance and future plans can make your interview more interactive and could be just the leg up you need in a competitive job market. Before the interview review the company"s web site and don"t be afraid to contact your prospective employer to request details on the position you are interviewing for or to ask for company literature. Google the company to see what other information is available online.
Practice Makes Perfect
Practice makes perfect (or at least leads to improvement). Practice with a friend and record or videotape your responses so you can replay the interview and see how well you did. Prepare answers to commonly asked interview questions. Doing so will help you analyze your background and qualifications for the position.
Behavioral Interviews
Behavior based interviewing is becoming more common. It is based on the premise that a candidates past performance is the best predictor of future performance. Rather than the typical interview questions on your background and experience, you will you need to be prepared to provide detailed responses including specific examples of your work experiences.
The best way to prepare is to think of examples where you have successfully used the skills you"ve acquired. Take the time to compile a list of responses to both types of questions and to itemize your skills, values, and interests as well as your strengths and weaknesses. Emphasize what you can do to benefit the company rather than just what you are interested in. Also prepare a list of questions you want to ask the interviewer. Remember, you aren"t simply trying to get the job - you are also interviewing the employer to assess whether this company and the position are a good fit for you.
Prepare For the Interview
It is very important to be on time for the interview. On time means ten to fifteen minutes early. If need be, take some time to drive to the office ahead of time so you know exactly where you are going. Know the interviewer"s name and use it during the interview. If your not sure of the name, call and ask prior to the interview. Remember to bring an extra copy of your resume and a list of references.
Stay Calm
During the interview try to remain as calm as possible. Ask for clarification if you"re not sure what"s been asked and remember that it is perfectly acceptable to take a moment or two to frame your responses so you can be sure too fully answer the question.
End the interview with a thank you to the interviewer and reiterate your interest in the position. Then follow-up with a personal Thank You note restating your interest.

Interview
In the last two weeks, I received many calls for interviews. Some were rejected immediately because of the company itself or its location. I just took part in several interviews I was interested in.
1. Zhuhai Lizhu Mediacal Bio-material Co. LTD
It was located in
Tsinghua
Science
Park, wonderful location and environment. I can still remember the interview room with its windows facing the sea. You can have a panoramic view of the sea through the window. It was a great enjoyment. I passed the company"s first interview, and entered the second one (last one too, because the whole progress consists of two interviews) with expection. It was the manager of the company who interviewed us（there were more than ten people) in the second interview. We were told to have a self-intrduction and talk something basing on a given topic during the interview. We drawed cuts for the topic. Luckily, my topic was not profesional. It just required me talk about what influenceed me most in my four years" study in college. I must confess that I was a little nervouse when I introduced myself because the room is full of silence except my voice. But the nervouseness didn"t last too long. I was gradually be myself and spoke out all I need to say or answer. When it was over, I was asked to go home and wait for the reply. I did pin my hope on it because I was quite satisfied with my performance exclude from the self-introduction at the beginning. I aslo could feel something different from the eyes of the two interviewers.( I"m not overconfident.) It was true that there was something differential, but hard to explained clearly. Anyway, I was out of the door of being employed. I was wondering why I will fail. But no one will give me the answer except myself. I have to do the self-summarization alone.
2. Elec-Tech International Co. LTD
It is a listed company with sound management system. English major graduates who passed the TEM-8 were its target interviewees. We were required to take an exam and translate two passages (English to Chinese and Chinese to English). It was very difficult to translate the passages as there are too many professional terms I didn"t meet before. No matter what, I couldn"t give up in the halfway. I tried my best to finish the translation. The paper was checked soon after the examination. But the interviwers didn"t tell us the score. I passed and took part in the interview which was in the charge of the manager of that department. Compared with interview in Lizhu, my performance in this one was better, I must confess. The manager is also more kinder. After the interview, I was asked to stay in the company while others who had finished interview were asked to go home. One of the interviewer said she had something to talk with me. Since there were still two gradutes hadn"t been interviewed, I waited for more than 2 hours till the whole process was over. The result was that the last interviewee was employed. The interviewer finally told me that they originally decided to choose one of us. The last one won by her humourous chatacter. I was utterly convinced. Yes, she did beat me in character. But I"m not upset, at least I have got something from this interview and known the reason of why I fail in the end though they have taken me into consideration at first. Another chance pass me again. It"s quite a pitty for me because it is really a very good company.
Anyway, the most ridiculous interview should be the one hold yesterday. It is a newly-established company and earnestly in need of someone mastering in English as their target market is some foreign countries. When I received the first call of the company, the employer told me they saw my resume on the internet and asded me whether I took interest in it. I didn"t answer immediately. Instead, I promised I would take it into consideration and reply them the next day. I finally accepted it on the purpose of just having a try. They told me they would have an English communication with me on the phone in the following several day and then an face-to-face communication. If suitable, we would be picked up to visit the company. However, there was no so-called English communication on the phone. When I received the next call, that person told me that the face-to-face communication would be arranged at night. I refused at once in case of bluff. Yesterday morning, that person called me again and asked me why I gave up such an opportunity. I confessed my doubt and she also explained clearly to me and told me the boss would pick up several candidates to visit the company (the company is in the suburb, industrial zone.) If I was not lost my interest, I could join them. After consideratin, I decided to have a try though my doubt was not completely removed, at least it was in daytime. So different from the other two candidates, I went to the company without face-to-face communication first. We were taken around the company and then communicate in the meeting room with boss. No, it was not commucation because the boss kept talking himself. According to what he said, he had worked in the state-own company for more than ten years. It seemed that he didn"t pay much attention to our qualifications and asked us only a few questions. Most of the time the boss spoke by hisself, and we just listened. At the beginning, I was quite patient enough. As time past, all was lost. It was not sense of respect that could focus your attention on his long and boring talking. I had never met such kind of interview and such kind of boss. All I wanted to do was to leave as soon as possible. The qualification of the so-called boss has helped you foresee the company culture and development of the company. I really couln"t belieave such kind of person also have the ability to drive the Benz and be a boss. Maybe I haven"t seen his best sides.
Now I"m on a new journey again. May I"m good luck .
