Hello, my name is Christine. I am the human resources manager of an investment company. Our company is mainly dealing with the corporate finance and also fixed income businesses and our employees are recruited from a number of countries in the world.

你好，我叫克里斯丁，是一间投资公司的人资经理。我们公司的主要业务是公司融资以及固定收入业务，职员来自世界各地。

1. Q:能否告诉我们哪位应聘者给您留下深刻的印象？为什么？

Err... yes. I met one candidate before. He was very impressive because, like, he has very full preparation on our company during the interview and he conduct, like, good research on the company's core business and also the industry. He was not only, like, memorising and telling the interviewer all the financial figures like robot. I could see that he did a lot of homework on our company. And on himself, he greet and also with a firm handshake with the interviewer and also a smile - very sincere. And also he close the interview also by very warm handshake and also a genuine thank-you. So... and also... like... on himself, he has a very thorough preparation, for example, he listen and also think very carefully before he's answering the questions and also he speak very clearly and confidently. Also he use, like... very practical examples to illustrate his skills and show that he suit the role and also the company. And also, I can see that he show very... like... eagerness on... for the role. So that's the most impressed... like... candidate I have met so far.

呃，是，我以前见过一个候选人。他给我留下了很深刻的印象，因为他在面试期间做了非常全面的准备，对我们公司的核心业务以及整个行业做了翔实的调查。他不是像个机器人一样死记硬背所有财务数据，然后生硬地告诉面试官。我可以看出他是真的准备了很多我们公司的相关资料。关于他本人，他能够很真诚地和面试官问好、稳当地握手并且附带非常诚恳的微笑。面试结束，他也会和面试官握手，并且诚挚地道谢。他的准备很充分，比如，在回答每个问题之前，他都会认真地听问题、并且仔细思考。回答问题时吐字清晰、非常自信。他会用很具体的例子来展示他的技能，以此告诉面试官他是适合应聘的职位以及公司的。我也能看出来，他真的很想得到那个职位。所以这是我到目前为止遇到的最印象深刻的应聘者。

2 Q: 您能否给我们举一个应聘者搞砸了面试的例子？他应该怎么做？

Err... in fact I have met two candidates. There were two cases. One of the candidates is too arrogant. The candidate... like... was talking too much, like pride about himself and how capable he was... looks like that sooner or later he will become to CEO of the company. I think... like... most employers prefer... like... humble type rather than arrogant type. I think the employer... like... can find out how capable the candidate will be if they decide to give them a job offer. So I don't think... like... boast yourself is the best approach during the interview.

事实上我见过两位应聘者。这里可以举两个例子。其中一个非常傲慢，这个人能侃，老说自己是多么多么能干，看起来就像迟早有一天他会成为公司总裁一样的感觉。我觉得大多数雇主喜欢更加谦逊的人。在我看来，雇主之所以会聘请一个人，是因为他可以自己从应聘者身上找出其长处。所以我认为在面试过程中吹嘘你自己是下策。

And another candidate also... who messed up during the interview process is too shy. The candidate was too shy to talk and only provide one-word answer. So we don't have any chance to explore... like... further on a candidate's experience and also ability.

另外一个应聘者因为太害羞，所以表现不好。他害羞到讲不出话来，说话也基本上都是单音节的。所以我们无法在他身上看出他过去的经验以及能力。
