应届大学毕业生面试中有哪些「技巧」可以提高面试成功几率？

What are the "tricks" for college graduates to improve the chances of success in interviews?

这个问题对我来说，是大错特错的，甚至如果你问这个问题，那你就危险了。之所以这样说，是因为长期来看，关注、依赖技巧不会帮你提高实现职业成功的能力，只会造成更大伤害。职业成功并不源于直白的答案、捷径或聪明技巧，而是源于对所做之事扎实的理解和认识。

To me, it’s actually the wrong question to ask. In fact, it’s even a dangerous question to ask. I say this because, in the long run, any type of focus and reliance on tricks is going to do more harm than help to your ability to achieve your career success. Career success isn’t the result of easy answers, short cuts, or clever tricks. It’s about having a solid understanding and approach to doing and achieving things. 

因为现实情况是：你想要为之工作的雇主、平台、招聘经理越优秀，技巧的作用就越小。事实上，在大多数情况下，他们可能会因为这些技巧，将你踢出候选列表。因为最佳雇主马上就能看穿你的技巧，马上会知道你不踏实。他们今天的成功并不是空穴来风，其中一个重要原因就是因为他们拥有丰富经验，知道如何在一堆伪君子之中评估、挑选出真正优秀的人才。

Because here’s the reality. The better the employer, platform, and hiring manager you want to work for, the less likely your tricks are going to work. In fact, they’re likely to eliminate you from consideration in most cases. Because the best employers are going to immediately see through your tricks. They’re going to immediately know that you’re not solid. They’re successful for a reason. A big reason is because they have a lot experience in assessing and sorting out the really good talent from the pretenders.

例如，如果你要与我们业界领先的客户进行面试，无论你说自己有何种能力和成就，他们都会要求你举例说明。他们会还问你，你说你能做这么多事，那么你是怎么学会的？为什么决定用你所说的方式做事情？甚至还会问你，为什么不用其他方法？事实上，他们会不断要求你提供更多细节，直到他们对你的答案百分之百满意。

For instance, if you were to interview with one of our industry-leading clients, whatever you tell them about your capabilities and achievements, they’re going to ask you to give them an example. They’re going to ask you how you learned to do what you say you can do. They’re going to ask you why you decided to do things the way you mentioned, and even why you didn’t do them another way. In fact, they’re going to keep asking you for more details until they’re 100% satisfied with your answer.

他们还会进行情境面试。他们会给你一个情境，要求你告诉马上告诉他们，会如何处理他这种情况。没有什么可以隐藏的，因为他们可以实时看到你的思维过程。要是你想要哄骗他们，他们马上就能看穿。唯一打动他们的方法就是，答案即便不是很合理，也要令人印象深刻。你必须展现出，你的所知、所做都非常扎实。

Another thing they’ll do is something called situational interviewing. They’re going to give you a scenario and ask you to tell them right there how you would handle the situation they’ve presented to you.  There’s nowhere to hide. They can see your thought process in real time.  If you try to bullshit them, they’ll see it immediately. Your only way to impress them is to give them an impressive, if not reasonable, answer. You have to been solid in what you know and what you can do to do this.

你也可以从另一个角度看：技巧只能骗过糟糕的、不那么理想的雇主，而不是真正的好雇主。这些技巧只能在二三流雇主身上有用。所以，如果你的黑技巧骗过了面试，那么很有可能这个雇主的水平不高。你懂的，王八看绿豆——对上眼了。

Or you can look at everything from another direction. Your tricks are only going to fool the bad and less desirable employers, not the really good ones. They’re going to work best in 2nd and 3rd tier employment situation. So if your clever tricks actually work in your interview, there’s a very good chance that the employer is not that good. You know, bullshit begets bullshit.

所以，不要相信、追求直白答案、捷径和技巧。否则，你只会陷入不良的工作和职业状况。相信我，我见过太多人，就因为早期采用了这种方法，后来才感到沮丧和迷失。

So don’t buy into and pursue an approach that values and seeks easy answers, short-cuts, and tricks. Otherwise, you’re only going to attract and get yourself into undesirable job and career situations. Trust me, I’ve met too many people who are frustrated and lost because they approached their career in this way early on. 

因此，对于真正想实现事业成功的人来说，这是我能给你们最好的建议。用踏实的方式追求事物。职业成功在于不断踏踏实实地取得成就和经验，发展扎实的技能和能力，养成别人高度重视的品质。

So to anyone who is genuinely interested in achieving your career success, here’s the best advice I can give you. Pursue things in a solid way. Career success is an ongoing effort of building solid achievements and experience, developing solid skills and capabilities, and acquiring solid qualities that are highly valued by others.  

不要问有哪些黑技巧可以了解、做成某件事，把重点放在加深自身认识、了解取得成功的方法上。因为最终，要想在面试时给顶级雇主留下深刻印象，重点不在于说什么，而在于你有什么要说的。

Instead of asking about good tricks to know, do this. Focus on asking how and why questions. Develop your understanding of and approach to how success is achieved. Because at the end of the day, impressing top-tier employers in an interview is not about what to say. It’s about, what do you have to say?

最后，要想取得事业成功，你最好这么做：相信自己拥有才能和潜力，并不断努力提高这些才能和潜力；相信自身拥有独特、优秀的特质；相信你有能力，取得任何你想要的成功。我并非全知神，但我可以告诉你，实现事业成功的道路和方式有很多。无论你情况如何，都可能需要更多的主动性、才智和坚持，但只有这样，你才可以抓住更有吸引力的机会，取得更多职业成功。相信自己可以做到。

Finally, the best thing you can do for your career success is this. Believe in and invest in your talent and potential. Believe in what’s unique and outstanding about you. And believe in your ability to achieve whatever success you seek. There are many roads and ways to achieve your career success. Whatever your situation, it may take more initiative, resourcefulness, and persistence on your part, but that’s how you capture more attractive opportunities and achieve greater career success.
