A big job interview is coming up and you are feeling very confident. You have anticipated the questions they might ask and have prepared some great answers. Fresh copies of your resume are sitting in your backpack. Wait a minute. Did you say backpack? Are you really going to walk into a job interview carrying a backpack? Next thing you'll say is that you're planning to wear jeans and a t-shirt. Uh-oh. You better ask yourself these questions before you get dressed.

你自信滿滿的準(zhǔn)備去參加一場大的工作面試。你已經(jīng)為面試官可能會問到的問題準(zhǔn)備了充分的答案。你的背包里裝好了幾份最新的簡歷。等等，你剛剛說的是背包?你真的打算背著背包去參加面試么?接下來你是不是說你打算穿牛仔褲和襯衣呢?啊哦，你換衣服之前最好先問問自己這些問題：

What should I wear?

我應(yīng)該如何著裝?

Generally, it's a good idea to wear a suit for a job interview. Go with something simple, in a neutral tone. The more conservative your field is, the more conservative your suit should be. For example, if you're applying for a job in an investment firm, go with a navy blue or dark gray suit.

通常情況下，穿西裝去面試是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的主意。應(yīng)該選擇簡單，中性的西裝。并且你求職的領(lǐng)域越是保守，你的著裝也要相應(yīng)的越保守。例如，如果你要在一家投資公司找工作，那就穿深藍(lán)或者深灰色的西裝去面試。

What if my interview is for a job in a more casual setting?

如果我的面試的是一份很隨意的工作崗位呢?

It's a good idea to match your interview attire to the prospective job. If you are applying for a job working on a warehouse floor, you will look out of place wearing a formal suit. Keeping that in mind, dress a little better than you would for a day at work and make sure your clothes are neat and clean.

面試著裝應(yīng)該適合即將從事的工作。如果你要去應(yīng)聘一份在倉庫樓的工作，那么穿一套正式的西裝就不合適了。記住，穿得比你日常工作好一點(diǎn)的衣服去面試，并且要確保衣服干凈整潔。

My interview is for a job in an accounting firm. Traditionally this field is conservative, but this particular firm may be a little more casual. How should I dress?

我要應(yīng)聘的是一家會計(jì)師事務(wù)所。傳統(tǒng)來說，會記師職業(yè)都是很保守的。但是這家公司可能比較開放，我應(yīng)該如何著裝呢?

You can't go wrong in a suit, but if you want to give more of an impression of "fitting in" then you need to find out how people actually dress for work at that firm. One way to do this is to observe people arriving for work. Choose any day other than a Friday, which is when some companies allow more casual dress. Again, follow the rule of dressing better for the interview than you would for a typical day at the office.

穿西裝去面試永遠(yuǎn)是沒錯(cuò)的。但是如果你想給別人的印象是你很容易融入他們，那你就要先打探好該公司的人一般是如何著裝了。方法之一是在星期五之外的任何一個(gè)工作日去觀察該公司的職員上班穿什么樣的衣服，因?yàn)樾瞧谖搴芏喙径荚试S隨意著裝，所以那天是看不出穿衣風(fēng)格的。

Do I have to buy a new suit?

我需要買一套新的西裝嗎?

As long as your suit is in good condition and not outdated, you don't have to buy a new one. If you do decide to purchase a new suit, buy the best one you can afford and make sure you don't get anything too trendy. You want your investment to last.

只要你的西裝狀況良好，并且沒過時(shí)，那你就沒必要重新去買了。而一旦你決定重新買套西裝，那就在你承受能力范圍之內(nèi)買一套最好的，但是不要買太新潮的。因?yàn)槟愕耐顿Y是計(jì)劃持續(xù)長久的。

What shoes should I wear?

我應(yīng)該穿什么樣的鞋?

In all instances, wear closed-toe shoes. Sandals are never appropriate for a job interview, unless you are applying for a job as a lifeguard. Black shoes match everything (yes, even your navy blue suit). Stick with a conservative style. Women should not wear very high heels.

任何情況下都穿封閉式的鞋子。除非你應(yīng)聘的是救生員的工作，否則涼鞋是不合適的。黑色的鞋子很百搭(是的，即使你穿深藍(lán)色的西裝也是相配的)。堅(jiān)持保守派的風(fēng)格。女人不應(yīng)該穿太高跟的鞋子。

Must I buy new shoes?

我需要買新鞋嗎?

No. Shoes you've already worn are fine, unless they are in bad condition or out of style. A little shoe polish may be in order here.

不需要，只要鞋子沒壞或過時(shí)，那穿你已有的鞋子就好了。將你的舊鞋擦上一點(diǎn)鞋油就好了。

What about my nails?

我的指甲呢?

Your nails should be clean. A man's nails should be kept short and a woman's nails shouldn't be excessively long and should be bare or polished in a neutral color.

你的指甲應(yīng)該干干凈凈的。男人的指甲應(yīng)該剪短，而女人的指甲不應(yīng)該太長，如果要涂指甲油，涂個(gè)淡色調(diào)吧。

I love wearing jewelry. Can I wear it for the interview?

我喜歡戴些珠寶，我面試時(shí)可以戴著嗎?

Modest jewelry is fine, but don't wear large earrings or a thick chain.

適當(dāng)?shù)闹閷毷强梢缘模遣灰宕鞒蟮亩h(huán)或者厚厚的項(xiàng)鏈。

What about makeup? How much is okay?

化妝呢?什么程度最好?

Don't paint on the makeup. Keep it simple and use neutral colors.

不要濃妝艷抹。淡妝就可以了。

What should I carry with me -- a purse, a briefcase, a backpack?

我應(yīng)該帶錢包，公文包，還是背包?

By all means, leave the backpack at home. You want to look professional, not like you're taking a stroll across campus. A woman can carry a small to medium sized handbag. A man or woman can carry a briefcase if he or she wishes, or a folder or portfolio.

請務(wù)必將背包留在家里。你是想要看起來專業(yè)，而不是在校園內(nèi)漫步。女人可以帶著小到中等大小等的手提包。只要愿意，男人或者女人都可以帶著公文包或者文件夾。
