【面試英語(yǔ)技巧】

　　Everyone knows how to introduce themselves, right? It's just like those name tags organizers pass out at networking events, "Hello, my name is…" Unfortunately, a lot of job seekers have a tough time getting beyond that very basic introduction. Sure, they can chat about where they grew up or their favorite book or movie, but when it comes time to say something smart and relevant about their job search interests, it gets a littletricky.

　　大家都知道怎么做自我介紹嗎?大多時(shí)候我們都像是給自己貼上宣傳標(biāo)簽，“你好，我叫……”，悲劇的是，大部分求職者都很難跳出這個(gè)基本的框框。當(dāng)然，他們可以介紹自己來(lái)自哪里，或者喜歡的書籍或電影。但當(dāng)要他們表現(xiàn)一番，談?wù)劰ぷ饕姷貢r(shí)，一切又好像變得復(fù)雜起來(lái)。

　　Do you have a pitch about you, your skills, and accomplishments ready to use the next time someone asks what you're looking for? While conventional wisdom used to dictate you prepare a two-minute "elevator pitch," most elevator rides don't last two minutes, and most people's attention spans certainly don't.

　　下次面試官問(wèn)你想做什么的時(shí)候，你能對(duì)自己的特長(zhǎng)和成就對(duì)答如流么?一般情況下你都需要準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)兩分鐘的“電梯游說(shuō)”(小編注：電梯游說(shuō)又叫電梯法則，即假設(shè)你在電梯里，只有30秒的時(shí)間來(lái)向一位關(guān)系公司前途的大客戶推廣產(chǎn)品且必須成功)。 但實(shí)際上正如電梯行駛不超過(guò)兩分鐘一樣，人的注意力也持續(xù)不了這么久。

　　Instead of the two-minute pitch, you should think about how to share relevant information about yourself quickly and succinctly so your target audience doesn't have time to start mentally planning out their grocery shopping list while they're waiting for you to stop talking about yourself.If you can't introduce yourself to a potential contact in 30 seconds or less, you may miss some important opportunities to impress someone important.

　　與其準(zhǔn)備兩分鐘的自我介紹，你不如好好想想怎么在更短的時(shí)間內(nèi)成功推銷自己，這樣才不至于使你的聽眾一邊無(wú)聊地想著購(gòu)物清單一邊不耐煩地等你結(jié)束自我介紹。如果你無(wú)法在30秒或更短時(shí)間內(nèi)做完自我介紹，那么你將失去給別人留下深刻印象的機(jī)會(huì)。

　　To create an impressive pitch, know the answers to the following questions:

　　要做一個(gè)讓人眼前一亮的自我介紹，先回答以下問(wèn)題吧：

　　1. What is your goal or objective?

　　1.你的目標(biāo)是什么?

　　2. What do you offer? Identify the skills and accomplishments that make you stand out from other people in your industry.

　　2.你有什么與眾不同之處?列舉那些能讓你脫穎
