Receiving an invitation for a job intervie can be an exciting time – especially after you’ve been job-searching for a hile.
收到面试邀请令人激动——尤其是在你花了不少时间找工作的时候。
Unfortunately, it’s all too easy to kill off all your chances of getting a job by saying just a fe rong ords during your job intervie.
遗憾的是，在面试期间你很可能因几个不恰当的词就失去得到这份工作的机会。
To make sure your job intervie leads to the next round or a job offer, here’s a list of ords hich you should aim to avoid.
为确保面试能进入下一个环节或者直接得到这份工作，下面为大家列出一些需要避免使用的词汇。
Um..
嗯…
The biggest problem ith this ord is that you’re probably unaare of ho much you use it.
这个词的最大问题就在于你可能没有意识到你用它用的有多频繁。
If you listened to a recording of yourself, you’d probably be surprised (and probably horrified) at the amount of “umming” you do.
如果你听一下你自己的录音，你可能会非常吃惊（甚至被吓到）你说了这么多“嗯…”。
Unfortunately, this makes you look less polished during a job intervie.
在面试中这会让你看起来有失体面。
One of the best ays to remove this filler from your vocabulary is to let your friends and family kno that you ant their help and they can profit from it. Tell them that you’ll pay a dollar to every person ho catches you using it.
把这个词从你的字典里面去除的最好办法就是告诉朋友和家人你需要他们帮你改正，他们也可以从中获益。告诉他们谁在你用这个词的时候抓住你，你就给他一美元。
Kinda
有一点
Not only does this ord make you sound like a teenager, it also introduces vagueness into your ansers.
这个词不仅让你听起来像一个未成年，也使你的回答显得很模糊。
To make sure you e across confident and mature, replace “kinda” ith clear “yes” or “no”. Follo your anser ith a clear reason hy you’ve taken that position.
要保证你参加面试时表现得自信和成熟，用“是”或者“不是”来代替“有一点”。之后解释你这样回答的原因。
Hate
憎恨
Nobody likes a hater. When a hiring manager or recruiter hears you say that ord, they hear “high risk candidate”.
没有人喜欢愤世嫉俗的人。当招聘经理或者是面试官听到这个词时，他们会感觉你是一个“危险人物”。
Avoid aiming this ord at anyone or anything during your job intervie. This includes “pet hates”, as ell as feelings toards panies, ex-colleagues and – especially – bosses you’ve had.
避免在面试期间用这个词针对任何人或任何东西。包括“讨厌宠物”，也包括对公司、之前的同事或者曾经的老板的感受。
Any Curse Word
任何咒骂词
Even if you think the pany culture might find such ords acceptable, don’t risk it at the intervie stage.
即使你认为这家公司能接受这些咒骂词汇，也不要在面试时冒风险出说来。
You’re risking ing across as unprofessional and crass.
你有被误认为不专业和粗鲁的风险。
Perfectionist
完美主义者
This is the most popular among overused, meaningless cliches.
这个词在过度使用的词汇中名列前茅，根本是陈词滥调。
There as a time hen “I’m a perfectionist” as a clever ay to get out of a question about your eaknesses. These days, any intervieer orth their salt ill see through this ploy and cringe on the inside at your anser.
曾经 “我是一个完美主义者”，用这句话来回答关于你弱点一类的问题是非常聪明的。但现在，任何能胜任工作的面试官都能看穿你这点伎俩，并且刨根问底。
Basically
It’s tempting to use this ord as a prelude to your achievements. For example, “Basically, I as responsible for flying the capsule to the Moon and back.”
当讲到自己的成就时，我们很容易用这个词作为开头。例如“，我负责飞行舱往返月球。”
Unfortunately, doing this also diminishes you. So, unless you’re Buzz Aldrin, skip it and launch straight into your anser.
遗憾的是，这同样会给你扣分。，除非你是巴兹·奥尔德林，跳过这个词直接给出回答。
I
我
In today’s culture-centric employment orld, you’re only as good as your ability to ork as part of a team.
在现今以公司文化为中心的雇佣世界里，你的能力体现在你能在团队中发挥的作用。
While petitiveness is a great trait to demonstrate, overusing sentences like “I as the top salesperson in my pany” can give off the impression that you’ll take it too far, pushing your colleagues don and aside in order to get to the top.
尽管有竞争力是值得展示的特质，但过分使用一些像“我是公司最棒的销售人员”的句子会让人觉得你有些自大，不惜贬低其他同事来衬托自己最厉害。
By all means, brandish your achievements, but let your intervieer kno hat that meant for the team and/or the pany. For example, “I as the top salesperson in my last role during 2013, hich meant I as able to exceed my targets by $1.2 million during that year.”
展示自己的成果可以，但要让你的面试官知道这些成果给团队或者整个公司有什么意义。例如,“2013年期间，我的销售业绩最好，这意味着那一年中，我超过既定目标1200 0000美元。”
Sure
It’s tempting to use this ord to municate “it’s almost a yes.”Hoever, doing this also chips aay at your ability to appear confident. Just as ith “Kinda” above, it’s best to remove any ambiguity about here you stand. Use a firm “yes” or “no” instead, expanding on your position if necessary by providing reasons and examples.
如果差一点就可以回答“是”，我们常会用“”来代替。，这样做也会有损于你自信的形象。和上面提到的“有一点”一样，最好去除掉观点里面的模糊因素。用干脆的“是”或者“不是”来代替，如果有必要进一步表明立场，试着给出理由和例子。
