在面试的时候，你真的只有30秒的时间来建立自我形象。所以这个问题应该是“我如何在面试中脱颖而出获得工作”，刚开始的那30秒就是有这么重要。
You literally have 30 seconds to make animpressionduring an interview. This question should really be "how do I nailthe interviewand get the job" that is how criticalthe first 30 seconds are.
所以如果你想让你的自我介绍以及整个面试都让人印象深刻，不妨遵循以下步骤。
So if you want to nail your introduction and the whole interview follow these steps:
1. 在面试当天早上进行模拟训练。Exercise on the morning of your interview.
2. 穿着和形象都要得体。Be presentable.
先用手机自拍一段视频看看，检查牙齿上有没有菜叶子、口红，看看睫毛膏有没有结块什么的。
Use your phone to do a video selfie and check for food in teeth, lipstick on teeth, clumps of mascara etc.
如果你的形象准备不充分，人们是真的会留意到的，而且即使是这样细小的细节也会让面试官分心。
People definitely notice when you are poorly presented and even something small like this can distract the interviewer.
3. 早点到场做准备活动。Arrive in the area early for your pre-game ritual.
在销售生涯中我学到过一个小技巧，就是在会议前，我通常会先去大堂逛逛（如果对方那没有，就在附近找一个）。
A trick I learned in sales was to turn up 20 minutes before my meetings and hang out in the lobby (or one nearby if they don't have one).
如果天气很热，我会想找个地方凉快下来，这样就不会让自己变成个满身臭汗的灾难。
If it was a hot day, I want to cool down so I am not a sweaty disaster.
我还会戴上耳机听几首我喜欢的歌来帮助自己进入状态。你也许看过许多运动员这么干过，我就是从他们那里偷学来的。
I also used to bring my headphones and listen to a few songs I like that helped me get into the zone. You will see many athletes doing this which is where I stole the idea from.
4. 去前台报道之前，先去上厕所。Hit the bathroom before you get to reception.
5. 自己带好水。Bring your own water.
前台通常不会提供水。面试官倒是会出于礼貌问下是否要水，但是他们并不希望你真的说“要”。
Reception often do not offer you water. The interviewer might but they are often just being polite and don't expect you to say yes.
如果面试进行得比较长（这通常是好兆头），你的喉咙肯定会干，而这将影响你的发挥。
If the interview is going to go for a while a dry throat can really start to impact you.
6. 对每个人都要态度非常友好。Be amazingly nice to everyone.
我有一个狡猾的客户，他会出去问前台接待员：应聘者在面试前开始前的态度如何。如果他得到的答案是“不好”，那么面试官就会拒绝这名应聘者
I had one sneaky client who used to go out and ask the receptionist how the candidates had acted pre-interview. If he came back with a thumbs down then they would reject the candidate.
7. 不要玩手机。Get off your phone.
如果你在前台或面试厅中等待，先把你的简历读一下。如果你没带就先读一下杂志。
If you are waiting in reception or the interview room read your resume first. If you did not bring it then read a magazine if one is available.
操作手机会让你在面试官到达的时候注意力不集中，而且有些面试官会觉得这很失礼（特别是那些上了年纪的面试官）
Tapping away on your phone when they arrive can be distracting and some interviewers find it rude (especially the older interviewers).
8. 在面试厅里，不要背对着门坐。Don't sit with your back to the door in the interview room.
这是我们从穴居人时代遗留下来的特点，而且至今未摒弃：当你觉得自己的背部不受保护时，你会本能地提高警惕，而且会觉得更加不舒服。
This is a caveman trait we have not discarded yet: If you feel your back is unprotected you will naturally be on higher alert and be more uncomfortable.
坐在能看到门的地方。这样做还有个作用就是：面试官在你前面，而你后面不会有东西让你分心。
Sit where you can see the door. The other side effect of this is the interviewer is facing you and there are less distractions behind you.
9. （如果你能站立）就在面试官进来的时候站起来。Stand when the interviewer enters the room (if you are able).
10. 破冰阶段。The introduction.
一般来讲，面试开始时的破冰阶段总是由面试官发起的。
Nearly always it will be the interviewer who makes the introduction.
而你所需要做的回应只是：“很高兴见到您XXX，我很期待今天的约谈。”
A simple response of "Great to meet you X, I am really looking forward to our chat today" is all you need.
然后就可以开始正常的寒暄了。
Then the normal small talk.
