在找工作的过程中，有面试，就有希望。面试的成功与否，除去面试官怎么样看你的条件及个人素质外，主要取决于他们怎么样评价你在面试中总的表现，因此，有必要把它当作一场演出或比赛来看待，其目的是向面试官营销推广自己，让他们感到你是干这项工作的最好人选。
大部分人在面试中处于被动地位，全力以赴回答提出的任何问题。一种更好的办法是控制局面，给面试官提供你想给他们的信息，而不是他们想从你这儿发现的信息：使他们有信心，绝对相信你是能胜任这项工作的人选，让他们几乎没理由相信你不可以胜任。信心不只来自你作出的回答，也产生于你的外表与你表现出来的热情、精力、自信、个人品质和雄心壮志。
大部分面试者没能得到工作的重要原因就是他们没能使面试官对他们产生信心。他们败下阵来并不是是他们不可以胜任这项工作，而是他们对自己能胜任工作的自信没能在面试中表现出来。他们的自我营销推广做得还不够。大部分人之所以如此是由于他们在面试时非常紧张，假如每次面试后都没得到工作，不少人感觉自己是失败者并变的更为焦虑。这是不实质的。大部分面试者都将被拘之门外。不要想自己会不会得到这份工作。仅需专心参加面试，并竭尽所能，工作自然就会有着落了。
V. Translation from English into Chinese.
It used to be said that English people take their pleasures sadly. No doubt this would still be true if they had any pleasures to take, but the price of alcohol and tobacco in my country has provided sufficient external causes for melancholy38. I have sometimes thought that the habit of taking pleasures sadly has crossed the Atlantic, and I have wondered what it is that makes so many English speaking people somber39 in their outlook in spite of good health and a good income.
In the course of my travels in America I have been impressed by a kind of fundamental malaise which seems to me extremely common and which poses difficult problems for the social reformer. Most social reformers have held the opinion that, if poverty were abolished and there were no more economic insecurity, the millennium40 would have arrived. But when I look at the faces of people in opulent cars, whether in your country or in mine. I do not see that look of radiant happiness which the aforesaid social reformers had led me to expect. In nine cases out of ten. I see instead a look of boredom41 and discontent and an almost frantic42 longing43 for something that might tickle44 the jaded45 palate.
But it is not only the very rich who suffer in this way. Professional men very frequently feel hopelessly thwarted46. There is something that they long to do or some public object that they long to work for. But if they were to indulge their wishes in these respects, they fear that they would lose their livelihood47. Their wives are equally unsatisfied, for their neighbor, Mrs. So-and-So, has gone ahead more quickly, has a better car , a larger apartment and grander friends.
Life for almost everybody is a long competitive struggle where very few can win the race and those who do not win are unhappy. On social occasions when it is de rigueurto seem cheerful the necessary demeanor48 is stimulated49 by alcohol. But the gaiety does not ring true and anybody who had just one drink too many is apt to lapse50 into lachrymose51 melancholy.
One finds this sort of thing only among English speaking people. A Frenchman while he is abusing Government is as gay as a lark52. So is an Italian while he is telling how his neighbor has swindled him. Mexicans, when they are not actually starving or actually being murdered, sing and dance and enjoy sunshine and food and drink with a gusto which is very rare north of the Mexican frontier. When Andrew Jackson conquered Pensacola from the Spaniards, his wife looked out of the widow and saw the population enjoying itself although it was Sunday. She pointed53 out the scandal to her husband, who decreed that cheerfulness must cease forthwith and it did.
When I try to understand what it is that prevents so many Americans from being as happy as one might expect, it seems to me that there are two causes, of which one goes much deeper than the other. The one that goes least deep is the necessity for subservience54 in some large organization. If you are an energetic man with strong views as to the right way of doing the job with which you are concerned, you find yourself invariably under the orders of some man at the TOP who is elderly, weary and cynical55. Whenever you have bright idea, the boss puts a sTOPper on it. The more energetic you are and the more vision you have, the more you will suffer from the impossibility of doing any of the things that you feel ought to be done. When you go home and moan to your wife, she tells you that you are a silly fellow and that if you became the proper sort of yes-man your income would soon be doubled. If you try porce and remarriage it is very unlikely that there will be any change in this respect. And so you are condemned56 to gastric57 ulcers58 and premature59 old age.

In the process of finding a job, where there is an interview, there is
hope. Whether you succeed or not depends not only on how the interviewers
look at your qualifications and you personal qualities, mainly depend on
how they evaluate your performance in interviews, therefore, its
necessary to retreat it as an performance or a contest with the aim to
market yourself to the interviewers and make them feel that you are the
best to do the job.
Most interviewees are in the positive position and try their best to answer
all the questions in the interviews. One better way is to control the
situation and provide the information that you want to offer, but not the
information that they want to find from you: to make them have confidence
and absolutely believe that you are the best choice and to make them almost
have no reason to believe you cant do it. Confidence not only comes from
your answers, also from your appearance and your enthusiasm, energy,
confidence, personal quality and ambition.
The main reason that most interviewees cant get the job is that they can
t make the interviewers become confident in them. They failed not because
they cant do the job well, but because they didnt show their confidence
during the interview. They didnt do self-marketing well. Most people do
so because they are nervous, if they cant get the job after each
interview, many people will feel that they are loser and become more
anxious. It is not practical. Most interviewers will be refused. Dont
think whether you can get the job or not. You only need to concentrate on
interview and try your best, you naturally can get the job.

过去大家常说，英国人伤心地玩耍。假如他们有事情要取悦，毫无疑问这仍是事实，但，在大家 国家，烟酒的价格为忧郁提供了充足的外部理由。有时，我想忧郁的消遣习惯盛行大西洋， 而且我也想过什么使得说英语的大家看起来这样忧郁，尽管他们拥有健康的身体和认可的收入。
在美国旅游的过程中，一种基本的抑郁给我留下了深刻的印象，对我来讲，它极其普通，但给社会改革家带来了难点。大部分社会改革家觉得，假如消除贫困，就不会有更多的经济不安全性，会变成百万富翁。但，不论在你们国家还是我的国家，当我看着乘坐豪华轿车大家的面容时，我从未看过前面提到的社会改革家让我期望的灿烂幸福的面容，相反，十之八九我所看到的无精打采、毫不认可的表情，与对一些可能产生腻烦的事物的近乎痴迷的追求。
但，不只富人遭受这种痛苦。专业人士常常感觉到无望的受挫。有一些他们渴望要做的事情，或一些他们渴望完成的公益目的。但，假如他们把期望放在这类方面，他们害怕失去生活。他们的老婆也同样地让人不认可，对他们的邻居来讲，某某先生和某某进步地非常快，有更好的车，更大的房屋和更要紧的朋友。
对于几乎每一个人来讲，生活是一个长期的角逐性的斗争，在这过程中，极少有人能获胜，并且失败的人是不幸福的。在一些社交场所，当根据礼节时髦所需要的好像欢笑的时候，必要的风度是由酒精刺激的。但这种欢喜不是真实的，喝太多酒的人容易陷入泪流满面的忧郁中。大家仅在以英语为母语的人群中发现这种事情。一个法国人当他是一个公共汽车企业的一员，会像云雀一样的快乐。当印度人告诉他的邻居是怎么样欺诈他时，也是这样。当墨西哥人事实上没被饿死或谋杀时，他们会欢歌跳舞，沐浴阳光，品尝食物和美酒，用一种墨西哥边疆北部罕见的酒器。当Andrew Jackson 从西班牙人那里抢夺Pensacola时，他老婆透过窗子看去，尽管是周末，看到大家在欢喜雀跃。他向老公指出了丑闻，他
老公立即下令停止欢呼。并且他成功了.当我试图弄清什么使得这样多的美国人不象期望的那样幸福时，对于我来讲，好像存在两种缘由，其中一个愈加深刻。浅层是什么原因在一些大机构中服从的必要性。假如你是一个精力充沛且具备强烈目的的人，并且以正确的办法做你的工作，你会发现自己同样地遭到高层像我一样年老、疲惫人的指使。不论何时你产生美好的想法，老板都会阻止他。你精力越充沛，你的视线会更远。你越会遭遭到不可能做你感觉到应当完成的事情。当你回到家对老婆呻吟时，她对你说你是一个愚蠢的人，假如你是一个真的的人，
你的收入非常快会翻番。假如你离婚而后再婚，生活不或许会有任何变化。你会得胃溃疡并且会未老先衰.
