A big job interview is coming up and you are feeling very confident. You have anticipated the questions they might ask and have prepared some great answers. Fresh copies of your resume are sitting in your backpack. Wait a minute. Did you say backpack? Are you really going to walk into a job interview carrying a backpack? Next thing you’ll say is that you’re planning to wear jeans and a t-shirt. Uh-oh. You better ask yourself these questions before you get dressed。
你自信满满的准备去参加一场大的工作面试。你已经为面试官可能会问到的问题准备了充分的答案。你的背包里装好了几份最新的简历。等等,你刚刚说的是背包?你真的打算背着背包去参加面试么?接下来你是不是说你打算穿牛仔裤和衬衣呢?啊哦,你换衣服之前最好先问问自己这些问题:
What should I wear?
我应该如何着装?
Generally, it’s a good idea to wear a suit for a job interview. Go with something simple, in a neutral tone. The more conservative your field is, the more conservative your suit should be. For example, if you’re applying for a job in an investment firm, go with a navy blue or dark gray suit。
通常情况下,穿西装去面试是个不错的主意。应该选择简单,中性的西装。并且你求职的领域越是保守,你的着装也要相应的越保守。例如,如果你要在一家投资公司找工作,那就穿深蓝或者深灰色的西装去面试。
What if my interview is for a job in a more casual setting?
如果我的面试的是一份很随意的工作岗位呢?
It’s a good idea to match your interview attire to the prospective job. If you are applying for a job working on a warehouse floor, you will look out of place wearing a formal suit. Keeping that in mind, dress a little better than you would for a day at work and make sure your clothes are neat and clean。
面试着装应该适合即将从事的工作。如果你要去应聘一份在仓库楼的工作,那么穿一套正式的西装就不合适了。记住,穿得比你日常工作好一点的衣服去面试,并且要确保衣服干净整洁。
My interview is for a job in an accounting firm. Traditionally this field is conservative, but this particular firm may be a little more casual. How should I dress?
我要应聘的是一家会计师事务所。传统来说,会记师职业都是很保守的。但是这家公司可能比较开放,我应该如何着装呢?
You can’t go wrong in a suit, but if you want to give more of an impression of “fitting in” then you need to find out how people actually dress for work at that firm. One way to do this is to observe people arriving for work. Choose any day other than a Friday, which is when some companies allow more casual dress. Again, follow the rule of dressing better for the interview than you would for a typical day at the office。
穿西装去面试永远是没错的。但是如果你想给别人的印象是你很容易融入他们,那你就要先打探好该公司的人一般是如何着装了。方法之一是在星期五之外的任何一个工作日去观察该公司的职员上班穿什么样的衣服,因为星期五很多公司都允许随意着装,所以那天是看不出穿衣风格的。
Do I have to buy a new suit?
我需要买一套新的西装吗?
As long as your suit is in good condition and not outdated, you don’t have to buy a new one. If you do decide to purchase a new suit, buy the best one you can afford and make sure you don’t get anything too trendy. You want your investment to last。
只要你的西装状况良好,并且没过时,那你就没必要重新去买了。而一旦你决定重新买套西装,那就在你承受能力范围之内买一套最好的,但是不要买太新潮的。因为你的投资是计划持续长久的。
What shoes should I wear?
我应该穿什么样的鞋?
In all instances, wear closed-toe shoes. Sandals are never appropriate for a job interview, unless you are applying for a job as a lifeguard. Black shoes match everything (yes, even your navy blue suit). Stick with a conservative style. Women should not wear very high heels。
任何情况下都穿封闭式的鞋子。除非你应聘的是救生员的工作,否则凉鞋是不合适的。黑色的鞋子很百搭(是的,即使你穿深蓝色的西装也是相配的)。坚持保守派的风格。女人不应该穿太高跟的鞋子。
Must I buy new shoes?
我需要买新鞋吗?
No. Shoes you’ve already worn are fine, unless they are in bad condition or out of style. A little shoe polish may be in order here.
不需要,只要鞋子没坏或过时,那穿你已有的鞋子就好了。将你的旧鞋擦上一点鞋油就好了。
What about my nails?
我的指甲呢?
Your nails should be clean. A man’s nails should be kept short and a woman’s nails shouldn’t be excessively long and should be bare or polished in a neutral color。
你的指甲应该干干净净的。男人的指甲应该剪短,而女人的指甲不应该太长,如果要涂指甲油,涂个淡色调吧。
I love wearing jewelry. Can I wear it for the interview?
我喜欢戴珍珠项链,我面试时可以戴着吗?
Modest jewelry is fine, but don’t wear large earrings or a thick chain。
适当的珠宝是可以的,但是不要佩戴超大的耳环或者厚厚的项链。
What about makeup? How much is okay?
化妆呢?什么程度最好?
Don’t paint on the makeup. Keep it simple and use neutral colors。
不要浓妆艳抹。淡妆就可以了。
What should I carry with me — a purse, a briefcase, a backpack?
我应该带钱包,公文包,还是背包?
By all means, leave the backpack at home. You want to look professional, not like you’re taking a stroll across campus. A woman can carry a small to medium sized handbag. A man or woman can carry a briefcase if he or she wishes, or a folder or portfolio。
请务必将背包留在家里。你是想要看起来专业,而不是在校园内漫步。女人可以带着小到中等大小等的手提包。只要愿意,男人或者女人都可以带着公文包或者文件夹。
