You say ... Yes!
你说有!
This is the easiest interview question out there. Always say yes.
这是最简单的面试问题。回答一定要肯定。
Asking questions shows that youre interested in the job. It also gives you a chance to show how knowledgeable1 you are about the position and the industry. Most important, it lets you highlight why youre the perfect candidate.
能问问题说明你对这份工作感兴趣，也给你机会展现自己对这个职位及行业的了解。最重要的是，这可以让你能充分表现出为什么自己是最合适的人选。
You have to choose your questions carefully, though, depending on whos doing the interviewing. An excellent question for a recruiter might be inappropriate for an executive. And you dont want to ask your potential boss something thats best suited for a future coworker.
针对不同的面试官，你要小心地选择不同问题。对招聘人员来说出色的问题可能不适合向执行官提问。你可不会希望对未来的老板提出一个适合去问将来同事的问题。
Also, there are certain questions you should never ask early in the interview process -- no matter whom youre meeting. Dont ask about salary, vacation, 401(k) or anything else that might make you seem more interested in the compensation than the company.
此外，有些问题不论面试官是谁你都绝对不应该在面试的初期阶段提出来，比如薪水、假期、养老金或任何其它可能让你看上去更感兴趣的是收入而不是公司的问题。
The Recruiter: The Big Picture Person
招聘人员：全局安排者
Its the recruiters job to identify strong candidates and guide them through the hiring process. Think of the recruiter as the big picture person. They can give you an overview1 of the company and the department as a whole. (Save very specific questions about the job for the hiring manager.) The recruiter is also the best person to answer questions about the hiring process.
招聘人员的工作是发现好的候选人并引导他们完成招聘过程。将招聘人员看做是全局安排人员。 他们能把公司、部门的总体情况告诉给你。(关于工作的具体问题留到招聘经理面试时再问。)另外，招聘人员也是回答招聘流程的最佳人选。

To many job seekers, stress is synonymous with job interview.
对许多求职者来说，压力就是面试的代名词。
Job seekers stress over landing an interview. Then they stress over preparing for it. And then they stress over what to wear, what to say, if the interviewer will like them and more.
求职者在为获得面试机会而努力时有压力。在准备面试时也有压力。然后他们为该穿什么、该说什么，面试官是否会喜欢他们，以及其他许多方面而倍感沉重。
But the worst stress of all often occurs during the interview. This is the stress that can cause you to blow it. It can make you freeze, panic, chatter1 aimlessly, lose your train of thought or perspire2 profusely3.
但是最糟糕的压力出现在面试过程中。这会导致你面试失败。它使你全身冰凉、惊恐、乱说一气、思维混乱、冷汗不断。
So how can job seekers keep cool when it counts Relax. A few simple techniques can help calm frayed4 nerves and sooth interview jitters5.
那要怎样才能在重要的面试中保持风度呢别紧张，一些简单的技巧能让你放松紧绷的神经，缓解对面试的高度紧张。
Pause, Dont Panic 停下来，不要慌张
In every interview, there comes a moment that doesnt go according to plan. Theres an awkward silence. You stumble over your words. You flub a tough question. 每次面试中都会有没有预料到的时刻。沉默令人尴尬。你语无伦次，对疑难问题束手无策。
Dont panic. Nows the time to put your relaxation6 skills into overdrive. 不要慌张。此刻正是你的放松技巧一展身手的时刻。
Its much easier to control fear and panic as it starts to build than to calm yourself down once theyve begun to spiral out of control. 在恐惧和慌张刚出现苗头的时候就控制住要比在它们愈演愈烈而失去控制后再让自己冷静下来要容易得多。
When you feel yourself starting to panic and lose focus, pause. Tell yourself silently that you can do this. Take a deep breath. Refocus. And then resume interviewing. 当你发现自己开始惊慌、注意力不集中时，先暂停一下。默默地告诉自己你能成功。深呼吸。重新把注意力集中起来。然后继续面试。
A quick ten-second pause can be all you need to regain7 your composure and get back in control. And the interviewer likely wont even notice. 一次十秒钟的短暂停歇就足以让你重新获得镇定和对局面的控制。而面试官甚至察觉不到。
