Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Plenty of job seekers, according to career and workplace consultant Alexandra Levit, are making major mistakes at those big, important meetings with their would-be bosses. Candidates would do well to avoid the following interview mistakes:

【1】

At most job interviews, both parties—the interviewer and the interviewee—are expected to ask questions. Do your homework on the company and make sure your questions aren’t so obvious that they can be answered with a five-second Google search.

“ 【2】 You shouldn’t ask too many general questions because they might have the opinion that you should know some of the answers.” Levit said.

Talking too much.

Even if you’re really smart, you won’t impress anybody if you don’t do your fair share of listening.

“It should be a two-way conversation,” Levit said. “ 【3】 Really take the time to read between the lines and pay attention to what they are saying.”

Treating the interviewer like a friend.

Of course you want to be friendly with your interviewer, but it’s important to remember that this person is not someone with whom you’ll be throwing back a few beers next weekend. You have to keep your guard up.

“You don’t want to treat them as if they’re someone you can take into your confidence.” Levit said. “ 【4】 ”

Bad-mouthing your last employer.

Sometimes, even your last boss was Satan himself. 【5】 Find a way to put a positive reason on why you left—or plan to leave—your last job.

“Don’t say, ‘Oh I left because my company was insufferable,’” Levit said. “The employer is going to be sitting there thinking you’re going to be saying that about them in three years and it isn’t going to fill them with confidence.”

A. Asking proper questions.

B. Failing to ask smart questions.

C. A job interview is not the time to uncover it.

D. Listen more and you’ll have more answers.

E. You’re not going to learn as much about their needs if you don’t listen.

F. You should portray yourself as confident, enthusiastic and professional.

G. You are supposed to have some knowledge of the industry and the position.

【解析】

試題分析：很多人在找工作面試的時候，會犯下很多錯誤。作者在本文中給出四個有效的建議可以預(yù)防這些錯誤。

【1】B 根據(jù)本部分第一段最后一句Do your homework on the company and make sure your questions aren’t so obvious that they can be answered with a five-second Google search.可知之前一定要做好準(zhǔn)備，準(zhǔn)好好一些有價值的問題。故B正確。

【2】G 根據(jù)本段第一句You shouldn’t ask too many general questions because they might have the opinion that you should know some of the answers.可知你不要只是穩(wěn)一些大概的問題，因為這些問題的答案很淺顯。你要對這個行業(yè)和職位有所了解，并準(zhǔn)備一些很有價值的問題。故G項正確。

【3】E 根據(jù)橫線后句Really take the time to read between the lines and pay attention to what they are saying.作者建議我們要花時間去理解對方所說的話的言外之意，那么也就是說要學(xué)會傾聽。故E項正確。

【4】F 根據(jù)本段第一句“You don’t want to treat them as if they’re someone you can take into your confidence.”不要把他們當(dāng)成是你能夠獲得自信的對象，你要把你自己當(dāng)成是很有自信、熱情和專業(yè)的人。那樣才可以和對方友好對待。故F項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】C 根據(jù)本段的標(biāo)題Bad-mouthing your last employer苛刻評價你上一個老板。千萬不要做這樣的事情，如果你這樣做了，很可能也得不到這個工作。你要找出自己離職的一個積極的理由。故C項正確。
