The smart job-seeker needs to rid herself of several standard myths about interviewing What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some suggestions to help you do your best at a job interview.

Myth I: The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer.

Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job offers you don't want! So, before you 面 back-flips for an employer be sure you want the job.

Myth 2: Always please the interviewer.

Not true. Try to please yourself. Giving answers that you think will suit a potential employer and practicing a policy of appeasement (讨好) are certain to get you nowhere. An effective interview (where you are offered the job or not) is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your seatmate on an airplane.

Myth 3: Never interrupt the interviewer.

An exciting conversation always makes us feel free-free to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. So, when interviewing, try to be yourself. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you'll have made an impression. Leaving an employer indifferent is the worst impression you can make. And the way to make an effective impression is to feel free to be yourself!

Another silly myth. Don't be afraid to disagree with your interviewer in an agreeable way. And don't hesitate to change your mind. The worst that could happen would be that the interviewer says to herself 0There's a person with an open mind!"
