如果你想得到一份好工作，你就应该做一些准备工作。成功总是属于那些有准备的人。你应该做什么以及如何为找工作做准备？下面就是如何去做：

Do your homework. Check the company’s Web site, stock performance, annual report. Be familiar with its product and services. One employer reports that he is turned off by candidates who do not know the most basic facts about the company. If you were not bothered to prepare for an interview, it would raise serious questions about how well you will perform on the job.

做些功课。查看公司网站，股票表现，年度报告。熟悉它的产品和服务。一个雇主说，他不会考虑那些对公司最基本的情况都不了解的候选人。如果你不为面试做好准备，可能会影响你在工作上的表现。

Have your questions ready. At some points the interviewer will ask if you had any questions. Take advantage of that opportunity to find out anything you can about the job. You can also use this time to introduce any of your qualifications that haven’t come up yet in the interview.

把问题准备好。有时候，面试官会问你有没有问题要问。利用这个机会找出关于这份工作你所能找的问题。你也可以利用这个机会在面试中介绍你还没拿到手的一些证书。

Dress right. Even if the company is a “casual operation”, you can never go wrong if you wear a suit to the interview. Take it easy on the jewelry and makeup.

着装得体。即使公司是“随意运作”，穿西服去面试永远都不会错。对于珠宝和化妆不要过了头。

Use your head. There are lots of ways to blow an interview. One candidate answers a cell phone during his interview. Guess whether he can get the job or not.

动动脑。有很多方式会给面试打折扣。面试者在面试途中接电话。猜猜他是否能得到这份工作。
