　　The traditional job interview uses questions to find out if you have the necessary skills and enthusiasm for the post, along with the ability to fit in. If you are able to successfully communicate answers to questions such as; “what are your strengths and weaknesses” or “why do you want to work for this company” there is a good chance the interview will be a success.
　　传统的面试方式是通过提问来看应征者是否具备职位所需的技巧和热情，以及是否具备相应的能力。如果你能成功回答诸如：“你的优势弱势是什么？”或者“为什么想在这家公司工作”一类的问题，那么被录取的可能性还是蛮大的。
　　Another popular interviewing technique is more behavioural. Typical questions asked in a behavioural interview might be; “tell me about a time when had to face a difficult problem” or “have you ever failed to achieve a goal”.
　　另外一种常见的面试技巧，是通过以往的职场行为来了解应征者。典型的问题包括“描述一个你曾经面对的困难”或是“你是否未能达成某个目标”。
　　The telephone interview is used by many companies merely as screening interview to weed out weaker candidates. However it is also a good method to get in touch with people in other countries. Therefore for those wishing to work abroad it may be the first interview they have.
　　许多公司都会用电话面试来过滤掉第一批不符合标准的应征者。不过电话面试也同样适用于面向国外招聘。因此如果你希望出国工作，那么电话面试很可能是你面临的第一关。
　　A group interview is designed to see how you interact with others. Prospective candidates are gathered together for an informal discussion about some topic. The job seekers who shine at this kind of interview will be asked back for a personal interview.
　　小组面试（多个应征者）是为了看应征者如果与人交流而设计的面试形式。应征者们会被组织起来讨论某个话题，如果在讨论中你的表现出众，则可能进行单独面试。
　　The one to one interview occurs after you have already convinced your prospective employer that you have the skills and education necessary for the job. This might have been established because of the excellence of your CV and covering letter. In addition there may have been a telephone interview where you impressed them enough to proceed to this stage.
　　一对一的面试通常出现在对方已经肯定你具备胜任这份工作的技巧和知识后。对方可能是根据你的简历及自荐书确定你的能力。也可能是通过电话面试筛选你进入这个流程。
　　The opposite of a one to one interview is a committee interview. Here you will face several members of the company and be asked a wide variety of questions; they may set you a problem to see how well you can come up with a plan for dealing with it.
