Hi Xu Xuchen, 1. I think preparing interview questions is not a great idea - you'll be really confused if they don't ask the questions you are expecting and you'll sound like a robot. But do do you research and become familiar with the job, field and company/ organisation. 2. No, a telephone interview is an interview over the phone (or often Skype), face-to-face is when you go and sit in a room with your interviewer. 3. I've never done a job interview in another country, so I can't compare between styles, but for me the most important thing is to be relaxed and cheerful. I think all the jobs I have got have been as much based on my personality as my skills. They already know you can do the job, or they wouldn't have invited you to interview, so now they're checking if they want to work with you. (Or so I think, anyway!) Best, Philippa

Can you give me some details about your work ? Your experiences ?

I practised interviewing with my wife before she went for her job interview in English. And they loved her. I used to manage a company and hire staff. If someone arrives for an interview and isn't prepared, they don't get the job. If they don't know about the company, don't have answers to standard questions, then they're not as employable as the people who worked hard to get the job. As an employer, all I really want to know is how you are going to contribute to the company. What skills or experiences do you have that will be useful for us? Why will the company make more money if we give you a salary? We're not interested in your desire for experience or training. We don't care what you want, we care about getting a good deal. If you cost us a million dollars a year, but can make five million in profit, then we will give you your million. If you want an internship to get experience, it costs time and energy to manage you. What do we get in return? Tell us about how our products will improve because of you. Or our customer service. Or how we will reduce our costs because of you. Or how the expensive members of the team will have more free time because you're going to take care of the support stuff, so they can make more money for us. Your interview is your opportunity to tell the employer about you. Think about what you want them to know, and how to say it well. Think about the questions they are likely to ask, and how to answer them so that you can persuade them to hire you. Focus on the employer's needs. Demonstrate your commitment to whatever it is that they are trying to do. Everything you have ever done in your life is preparation for this moment, everything is relevant. Practise presenting everything from the perspective of "your company will benefit because I can ...." And then ask for higher salary!

Regardless of what country and language you are interviewing in, you should practice your responses before the interview. This is important because you do not want to get a question you are not prepared to answer, because this will show what type of employee you will be. Look online and research possible questions. You will want to tailor your responses to the job and interviewer.

好的！谢谢！
