问题                     Five Interviewing Fundamentals
    The most important thing to find out when you interview someone is if you like the person. You can teach someone to be competent in the skills you need, but you can’t teach someone to have an appealing personality. No matter what the person talks about for thirty minutes—really, much fewer than thirty—you can figure out if you like them.
    1. Learn how to conduct an interview.
    You need to understand what is driving the interviewer and how he or she is thinking. So know enough about the interview process to put yourself in your counterpart’s shoes. If the person is bad at interviewing, you can run the show. If the person is good, you have to figure out how to meet their agenda, make your points, and still be likeable.
    2. Learn from other people’s mistakes.
    The best way to see people making errors in interviews is to interview them yourself. But you can also read about other people’s interviewing incompetence. Jobaloo. com shows how candidates misread a seemingly innocuous question. And CareerBuilder. com lists some examples of extremely bad judgment.
    3. Know your agenda.
    What is the image you are trying to convey in the interview? Match that to the kind of job you are trying to land. You should have three points about yourself that you aim to get across in the interview. Before I became a full-time writer, mine were: great at executing a plan, a manager who everyone loves to work for, very reliable. I wanted those points to come across because I wanted to be hired to a position where I would have a lot of responsibility to execute a visionary plan and manage a large team.
    4. Practise.
    You can find lots of lists about how to interview well. Take a look at them and you’ll notice that they are all about practising: Avoid too much information, cut the puffy stuff, know your strengths and weaknesses. These are all things you can practise. If you think you can wing it in an interview, you’re wrong. There are no questions that cannot benefit from preparation, so any question you look unprepared for makes you look clueless about the interview process at best and lazy at worst.
    5. Be comfortable with silence.
    People who can remain calm during silence look powerful and comfortable with themselves. People who have to fill silence end up saying stupid things. Part of your interview practice should be to sit, saying nothing, so you are comfortable when that happens in an interview.
Why is it useful to practise sitting without saying anything?
选项 A、It helps you fill silence.
B、It helps you be comfortable with silence.
C、It prevents silence in interview.
答案B
解析 题干意为：为什么练习静坐不说话会有益处?A项意为：能帮你填补无人说话的空缺，B项意为：帮你在无人说话时不感到局促，C项意为：能防止面试出现沉默的局面。文中提到在无人说话时不得不填补空缺而讲话的人通常最后会说些傻话，因此需要练习静坐、不说话来让自己适应无人说话的情形。因此，A项不正确，B项与文意相符，而C项内容文中没有提及，故答案为B。
