What's the best way to answer job interview questions? First of all, be careful. There is such a thing as too much information. Be discreet, for example, when you discuss your previous employers and jobs.
回答面试问题的最佳方法是什么呢？首先，一定要仔细，面试中的问题会包含太多的信息。比如，在讨论老东家与之前的工作时，一定要谨慎！
One job applicant I interviewed went into great detail telling me about how much she disliked the last company she worked for. That company happened to be my company's biggest client. There wasn't any way I was going to hire someone with that big a chip on her shoulder.
曾经面试过的一名应聘者，与我谈了自己如何不喜欢她前一家东家的太多的细节，而她的老东家碰巧是我们公司的最大的客户。无论如何，我是不可能雇佣一位对其前东家如此怀恨在心的人的。
Besides, what you say when you respond, how you answer interview questions, the details you provide, the information you don't disclose, and even the non-verbal cues you give the interviewer are all important when you answer interview questions. Here are tips for the best way to answer interview questions.
此外，当你回答面试问题时，回答什么，如何回答面试问题，你所提供的细节，以及你没有透露的信息，甚至你给面试官的非语言方面的暗示，都是很重要的。以下是关于回答面试问题的最佳方法方面的若干条提示。
-Research the Job and the Company. Take the time to research the company and the position you are interviewing for in advance. The more you know, the better equipped you'll be to respond to interview questions.
对面试单位与岗位进行调查。你得提前对即将去面试的单位与岗位进行调查，你知道的信息越多，你就能为自己在面试中更好的回答面试问题做好准备。
-Practice Makes Perfect. The more practice you have at interviewing, the more comfortable you'll be during a job interview. Practice (ask a friend of family member to help) answering common interview questions to get an idea of how to respond.
熟能生巧。在面试上训练越多，在面试时就会感到舒适。让家人或者朋友帮忙，来训练回答常见的面试问题，以了解如何进行回答。
-Know the Facts. It sounds like a no-brainer, but I've interviewed candidates who couldn't remember when they worked where. Be sure you know your work history, and bring an extra copy of your resume to refer to if you're nervous and need a reminder.
了解自己的实际情况。听起来是不是感觉这都不需要动脑筋，不过，我确实有面试过想不起来自己工作时间与工作单位的。因此，请务必确保对自己的工作经历清楚，如果紧张且需要提示的话，可以带多一份简历进行参考。
-Try to Stay Calm. Interviewing can be nerve-wracking whether it's your first interview or you have interviewed many times in the past. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the interview, take a deep breath before you go into the interview, and do your best to stay calm.
尽量保持冷静。无论是第一次，还是已经参加过很多次，面试都是一件非常伤脑筋的事情。请给自己面试以充足的时间，面试之前深呼吸一下，要尽力保持冷静。
-Take Your Time. Don't rush to get out a response to an interview question. Briefly, think about your response before you answer. Taking the time to compose your thoughts so you can respond effectively is better than jumping the gun and saying something you wish you hadn't after the fact.
要从容不迫。不要急于去回答面试问题。简而言之，请在回答之前考虑一下你的回答。花些时间组织好自己的想法，这样，你就可以有效地回答面试问题，而不是过于心急，并说出一些事后并不希望说出的话。
-Use the Right Words. The words you use during job interviews will convey an impression of you to the hiring manager. Using power words in your responses will help make that impression a good one.
用词要恰当。你在面试中的用词，会给招聘经理留下深刻的印象，在面试答案中使用具有说服力的用词，有助于让你在招聘经理心目中留下良好的印象。
-Give Examples. When you respond to interview questions give examples of how you handled related situations. The more specific you are, the more the hiring manager will see that you have the skills to do the job.
列举事例。回答面试问题时，请举例说明你是如何处理相关状况的。回答的越具体，招聘经理就越能看到你有能力胜任正在招聘的岗位。
-Share Your Accomplishments. Don't be shy about what you have accomplished in your career. Share examples of your accomplishments that are related to the job you are interviewing for to reinforce the fact that you're capable and qualified.
分享自己的成就。在面试中，要分享工作中取得的成就，千万不要羞于启齿。分享与面试岗位相关的工作成就，以便强化你有能力胜任正在面试的岗位。
-Make a Match. As you answer interview questions, try to stay focused on the job and how you are a fit for it. Do your best to match your abilities to the job description when responding.
将自己具备的能力与在招聘的岗位进行匹配。回答面试问题时，一定要尽量停留在工作本身，以及自己如何与正在招聘的岗位的匹配上，尽力将自己的能力与工作描述进行匹配。
-Don't Ramble. Your response to interview questions should be direct and to the point. Don't ramble and get off topic.
不要拐弯抹角。回答面试问题应该直截了当，直击要点，千万不要拐弯抹角，偏离主题。
-Ask for Clarification. Not sure what the interviewer is asking? It's fine to ask for clarification if you're not sure what is being asked.
要求澄清。不知道面试官在问什么问题？如果你不确定问题是什么，可以要求面试官再澄清一下。
-Be Direct. When you're asked about why you left (or are leaving your job) try to keep it positive. Be direct and focus your interview answer focused on the future, especially if your leaving wasn't under the best of circumstances.
要直截了当。当被问到为什么离开（或打算离开当前的工作）时，请尽量保持乐观。请直截了当，要将回答放在未来层面上，特别是你并不是在最好的情况下离开。
-Keep it Professional. Your responses should be focused on your professional skills and abilities. There is no need to tell the interviewer all about your personal life, your interests, your family, or your hobbies. Most importantly, don't bring up any work-related issues you might have like having to arrange child care or transportation if you get the job.
保持专业性。对面试问题的回答应该重点放在专业技能与能力上，而没有必要向面试官去谈论个人生活、兴趣、家庭，或者兴趣。更为重要的是，如果你得到这份工作，不要提出任何与工作有关的问题，比如，照顾孩子，或者交通。
-Have Questions Ready to Ask. The last question you'll probably be is asked during a job interview is whether you have questions. Be prepared and have a list of questions ready to ask the interviewer.
要准备好问题。面试的最后一个问题，很可能是面试官问“你是不是有问题要问”，请准备好要询问面试官的问题。
-Take Advantage of One More Chance to Answer. Don't forget to thank the interviewer and to take the time to follow up with a personal thank you note. If there are any questions you wish you had answered differently or more thoroughly, use your thank you letter to explain.
利用机会再一次回答面试问题。别忘了感谢面试官，并花点时间给面试官写封感谢信。如果有任何你希望有不同答案，或者更为全面的问题，请利用感谢信去进行解释吧！
