\ let's look at your mock interview on videotape. \think it boils down(归结为) to preparation,presentation, and understanding what the interviewer is looking for \
(Watching the videotape)
\Another way of answering it is not telling about yourself ,but telling your relationship to the job.\don't care so much about your parents and that you want to live in may need you to be able to be a use some examples in your life from being a troubleshooter.\is dealing with need to be sure that you stay,sort of ,on target with preventing,presenting yourself in the strongest possible way.\
This time I felt a lot more confident when I went in for the interview.
\show you.\phone,got them what they needed,and handled any complains.\
Making a good first impression is the most important part of a job interview.
Arriving on time and being confident are the most important parts of a job interview.
It's very important that you are being confident and you're being clear in your answers and listening carefully Not fidgeting(坐立不安,烦躁) and being confident are the most important things in a job interview. Writing a thank-you note is the most important thing you want to do after a job interview/ And go in there with a firm handshake.

\not enough to ask what successful people are like...It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel 44
v1.0 可编辑可修改 the logic behind who succeed and who doesn't\
This is the basic idea of an intriguing book called Outliers, by the American journalist Malclom book explores the factors which contribute to people who are extremely successful in their careers, for example, the role the family , culture and friend play.
Gladwell examines the causes of why the majority of Canada ice hokey players are born in the first few months of the calender year,what the founder of Microsoft Bill Gates did to achieve his extraordinary success,and why the Beatles managed to redefine the whole of popular music in the 1960s.
Gladwell points out that the youth hockey league in Canada recruits from January the first, so that players born early in the year are bigger,stronger and better athletes than others born later in the because they have this advantage at the start of their sports career,they're given extra coaching,and so there's a greater chance that they'll be picked for an elite hockey team in the future.
He calls this phenomenon accumulative advantage(积累优势),a bit like the idea that the rich get richer and the poor get depends on the process by which talented athletes are identified as much as it does on their own abilities. Another aspect which contributes to success is the 10000 hour success demands an enormous amount of time for practise and example,the Beatles performed live in Hamburg Germany more than 1200times over four years,much more than the 10000 hours Gladwell claim is necessary for great by the time they returned to England,they had developed their talente and sounded completely different from any other group.
In the same way,Bill Gates had thousands of hours' worth of programming because he had access to a computer at his high also became a teenager just at the right time to take advantage of the latest developments in computer technology. Outliers has met with extraordinary sucess,matched only by Gladwell's own career for 25 years in a result, many citics have seen it as an autobiography, in which the writer appears to be apologizing for his own personal the ides that you have to be born at the right moment,in the right place and in the right family,and then you have to work really hard is a thought-provoking way of revisiting our traditional view of genius and great 's certainly worth reading,as long as you don't take it too seriously.
