Everybody, let's talk about common job interview mistakes to avoid. If you're a job seeker and, you're going to job interviews. These are for you. If you can avoid these, you're half way to pass. I'm gonna give you seven common mistakes. Let's dive in. Number one, don't say anything negative about yourself during the job interview. If you go to a job interview and you start talking all about how you fail the things and how you don't have qualifications, and how you don't have certain skills and how you're no good at dealing with people or dealing with this kind of work, that's gonna make a very bad first impression, okay? Even if talking about stuff like this is perfectly reasonable in everyday conversation, and you might think that people would appreciate your honesty.

各位，让我们来谈谈要避免的常见面试错误。如果你是一个求职者，你要去参加面试。这些是给你的。如果你能避免这些，你就成功了一半。我会给你七个常见的错误。让我们一头扎进去。第一，不要在面试中说任何关于你自己的负面的话。如果你去参加一个工作面试，你开始谈论你是如何失败的，你是如何没有资格的，你是如何没有某些技能的，以及你如何不善于与人打交道或处理这种工作，这会给人留下非常糟糕的第一印象，好吗？即使在日常对话中谈论这样的事情是完全合理的，你可能会认为人们会欣赏你的诚实。

The problem is, when it comes to making a good first impression, these things do a hell of a lot of damage, okay? So don't say anything negative about yourself during the entire interview. Even when they try and bait you to do this by asking you questions like tell me about a time that you failed something. Okay. There's creative ways of answering these questions, but not dwelling on what you didn't do, right? Focusing on good things. And that's what you're in the job interview to. To do okay. So always remember this. Number two, don't say anything negative about anyone else. Now this might sound like the same kind of thing, but actually, this is a different thing entirely.

问题是，为了给人留下良好的第一印象，这些东西会造成很大的伤害，好吗？所以在整个面试过程中，不要说任何关于自己的负面言论。即使他们试图通过问你一些问题来引诱你这样做，比如告诉我你失败的一次。好的。有创造性的方法来回答这些问题，而不是纠结于你没有做什么，对吧？专注于美好的事物。这就是你在工作面试中要做的。做得好。所以永远记住这一点。第二，不要说别人的坏话。这听起来像是一回事，但实际上，这完全是另一回事。

Now, if you're in a job interview, a lot of times, they will beat you with this question, too. They'll ask you something like, tell me what did you hate about your previous boss, the most, if you start saying my previous boss, he was a jerk. What his problem was, he didn't have the first clue how to do his job, right? If you start same stuff like that, even if it's true, which a lot of times it is, the problem is that you're signaling that you're the type of person that talks about people behind their back.

现在，如果你在工作面试中，很多时候，他们也会用这个问题击败你。他们会问你这样的问题，告诉我你最讨厌你前任老板的哪一点，如果你开始说我的前任老板，他是个混蛋。他的问题是，他不知道如何做他的工作，对吗？如果你开始做同样的事情，即使这是真的，很多时候是真的，问题是你在暗示你是那种在背后谈论别人的人。

If you're gonna say a bunch of negative things about your previous boss, you would probably say a bunch of negative things about these interviewers behind their back. If they were to hire you, this is what you're signaling and this is back, this is unprofessional conduct. Even if they try and bait, you don't say negative things about previous bosses, previous coworkers, customers you've dealt with, people you've had business relationships with. And the list goes on, just don't say negative things. It's part of being professional, and it's part of giving a good first impression. Uh as, someone that they would want to work with. Number three, don't show negativity or pessimism at all. If they ask you, why did you apply for this job? And you say something like i've had some real problems finding a job, or it's really tough trying finding a job. And I really don't know what I should apply for this. This is not the kind of things that we should be saying, because once again, it signals a bunch of bad things.

如果你要说你前任老板的坏话，你可能会在这些面试官背后说他们的坏话。如果他们要雇用你，这就是你发出的信号，这是回来的，这是不专业的行为。即使他们试图引诱你，你也不会说以前的老板、以前的同事、与你打过交道的客户、与你有业务关系的人的坏话。这样的例子不胜枚举，只是不要说负面的话。这是专业的一部分，也是给人留下良好第一印象的一部分。呃，作为他们想与之合作的人。第三，不要表现出任何消极或悲观的情绪。如果他们问你，你为什么申请这份工作？你可以这样说，我在找工作时遇到了一些真正的问题，或者找工作真的很难。我真的不知道我应该申请什么。这不是我们应该说的事情，因为再一次，它预示着一堆不好的事情。

So don't show negativity, don't show pessimism, these will not help you. I know that a lot of times normal people feel like this, some of the time and it's perfectly justified and it's perfectly accurate. God knows there's reasons to feel that way sometimes. But in a job interview, you don't want to be expressing any of that stuff. It will not help you. In fact, it'll do quite a bit of damage. So just remember that regardless of what they say, regardless of where the conversation goes, don't show negativity or pessimism. I know it's kind of silly, but it's the reality. Number four, this is, an easy one, get your smartphone off the table.

所以不要表现出消极，不要表现出悲观，这些对你没有任何帮助。我知道很多时候正常人都会有这样的感觉，有时这是完全合理的，也是完全准确的。上帝知道有时有理由有这种感觉。但在工作面试中，你不想表达任何这些东西。它不会帮助你。事实上，它会造成相当大的伤害。所以只要记住，不管他们说什么，不管谈话进行到哪里，都不要表现出消极或悲观。我知道这有点傻，但这就是现实。第四，这是一个简单的问题，把你的智能手机从桌子上拿下来。

Now I'm guilty to this one. I used to every meeting I to, I would put my smartphone on the table in front of me. The reason I did this was because a it had the clock on it, so I could keep track of time. If I said, I would give somebody half an hour of my time or whatever. I wanted to keep it to half an hour and manage my time effectively.

现在我对这件事感到内疚。以前每次开会，我都会把智能手机放在面前的桌子上。我这样做的原因是因为它上面有时钟，所以我可以记录时间。如果我说，我会给别人半个小时的时间或什么的。我想把它控制在半个小时，有效地管理我的时间。

Unfortunately, this is bad in a job interview. It signals a bunch of negative things, okay? It's signals that you might be distracted. It signals that you might be waiting for this whole interview to be over, because you got something else afterwards or something like this. You could be recording them. You could be distracted by messages or notifications. The list goes on, just take your phone, put it on silence, so will not make any noise or better yet, turn it off. Put it away, don't have it on the table. If your phone does go off while it's in your pocket or in your bag or whatever, don't just send payments out, track each one till it arrives with pay and ear. That signals, I hate to say that signals a little bit of unprofessionalism, you need to master your own technology. So there's a pretty simple one. Don't do this. And you will do well number five research, the company and the people in the interview before the interview.

不幸的是，这在工作面试中是很糟糕的。它发出了一堆消极的信号，好吗？这是你可能分心的信号。这表明你可能在等待整个面试结束，因为之后你得到了一些其他的东西或类似的东西。你可能在记录他们。您可能会被消息或通知分散注意力。这样的例子不胜枚举，只要拿起你的手机，把它调成静音，这样就不会发出任何噪音，或者更好的是，把它关掉。把它收起来，不要放在桌子上。如果你的手机在你的口袋里或包里或其他什么地方响了，不要只是把付款寄出去，跟踪每一笔付款，直到它到达。这个信号，我讨厌说这个信号有点不专业，你需要掌握自己的技术。所以有一个非常简单的。不要这样做。在面试之前，你会做好第五项调查，公司和面试中的人。

Now, if the individuals that are going to be at the job interview, before your job interview starts, research them, look them up on the internet look up, maybe their profile on linked in and get an idea of their background. Get an idea of sort of maybe if they have hobbies or important things about them.

现在，如果要参加面试的个人，在你的面试开始之前，研究他们，在互联网上查找他们，也许在链接上查找他们的个人资料，并了解他们的背景。了解他们是否有爱好或重要的事情。

Also, if you're showing up for a job interview, you need to know what the company does, and you need to know a few basic things about the company. If you don't know that stuff, it signals a bunch of bad things. It's signals that you don't care about this interview, because you didn't bother to take 1 minute to look up what the company does.

此外，如果你要参加面试，你需要知道公司是做什么的，你需要了解公司的一些基本情况。如果你不知道这些东西，它预示着一堆不好的事情。这是你不关心这次面试的信号，因为你没有花一分钟的时间去了解公司的业务。

On the other hand, if you do this stuff, you research the company, you research the interviewers that signals the number one you're serious. Number two, you're capable, and number three, you're responsible. You're taking it seriously, and you're doing your preparation and that professional conduct. So showing up at a job interview, not knowing anything about the company, not knowing anything about the people that can give a bad first impression. And it can contribute to them eliminating you. Okay? Number six, they are probably going to ask you usually towards the end of the interview, if you have any questions don't say no, have questions prepare? I see a lot of people do this. Have questions prepared? I've done a video on that. Many other people have done videos on that think of the questions beforehand and come prepare. If you don't, it's bad. And finally, number seven, everything you say in the job interview must sell yourself, must sell you as the candidate that they should select.

另一方面，如果你做这件事，你研究公司，你研究面试官，这表明你是认真的。第二，你有能力，第三，你有责任心。你在认真对待，你在做你的准备和专业行为。所以参加工作面试，对公司一无所知，对人一无所知，这会给人留下不好的第一印象。它可以帮助他们淘汰你。好的？第六，他们可能会问你，通常是在面试快结束的时候，如果你有任何问题，不要说不，准备好问题。我看到很多人这样做。准备好问题了吗？我做了一个视频。很多人都做过视频，事先想好问题，做好准备。如果你不这样做，那就太糟糕了。最后，第七点，你在面试中所说的一切都必须推销你自己，必须推销你是他们应该选择的候选人。

Okay, now what does that actually mean when I say it should sell you? What does that actually mean? There's a lot of us that aren't sales. What am I talking about? What I is that you should be giving them reasons to hire you, tell them about what you have, tell them about what tell them about. What you can do, tell me, tell them about what you have done. These are all reasons for them to hire you.

好的，当我说它应该卖给你的时候，这到底是什么意思？这到底是什么意思？我们中有很多人不是销售人员。我在说什么？我的意思是，你应该给他们雇用你的理由，告诉他们你有什么，告诉他们什么。你能做什么，告诉我，告诉他们你做了什么。这些都是他们雇佣你的理由。

Okay? Sometimes depending on the questions they ask you, they distract you with kind of honestly, some silly questions. They might say, what did you do last weekend? Right? And they'll have some reasoning why they're asking that question. But what happens is that you end up talking about. I went out with some friends, we rented this movie. I I we went to this place and we had this food. It's like, what are you doing? That is wasting time that has nothing to do with the job interview it has nothing to do with the job. It has nothing to do with selling yourself in terms of showing off your capabilities. That is wasting time. If you only have a certain amount of minutes of time during the interview that you talk, make sure that as much of that as possible is you giving them reasons to hire you, say what you have, what say, what you've done.

好的？有时候，根据他们问你的问题，他们会用一些愚蠢的问题来分散你的注意力。他们可能会说，你上个周末做了什么？对的？他们会有一些理由来解释为什么要问这个问题。但结果是你最终谈论的是。我和几个朋友出去了，我们租了这部电影。我我们去了这个地方，我们吃了这些食物。这就像，你在做什么？这是在浪费时间，与面试无关，与工作无关。就炫耀自己的能力而言，这与推销自己无关。那是在浪费时间。如果你在面试中只有几分钟的谈话时间，确保尽可能多地给他们雇用你的理由，说你有什么，说什么，你做了什么。

Anything else is pretty much a waste of time other than manners and protocol, but don't get distracted. Always remember this. In fact, I would say this is probably the biggest one. So those are seven common mistakes that I see. People don't make any of these.

除了礼貌和礼仪，其他任何事情都是浪费时间，但不要分心。永远记住这一点。事实上，我想说这可能是最大的一个。这就是我看到的七个常见错误。这些都不是人们做的。
