Interviewing
Conduct Research
见面之前先上网查好他们是干什么的、财政状况如何、想招什么样的员工、你能带给他们什么
Typical Interview Structure
- Introduction: 和对方来个有力度的握手（中国人往往握手很轻，但美国人认为有力的握手代表一个人的自信，太轻的握手有轻视对方的意思。当然你也不能把对方握疼了。如果你去听学校讲座的话会教你该用多大的力度握手，有用度☆☆☆☆）。让面试官主导开始面试程序（你自己不要说“我们开始吧”这种话，面试官不开始你就一直跟他寒暄）
- Information Exchange: You and the employer will exchange information through questions. 就是面试问问题啦。现在面试的结尾都会问你还有什么问题，一定要问些和工作内容有关的问题（比如这个组里有多少人啊主要用的软件平台是什么啊之类的），不要在这个时候主动问薪资的问题！
- Wrap Up: Determine how the employer will follow up. 结束的时候问清楚该和谁继续联系（人家不会当面告诉你面试的结果哒，之后会有人通知你下一步是什么）
- Close: Thank the employer for the interview. 尽量在一开始就记住对方的名字，结束的时候说“谢谢你，XX”比单纯的“谢谢”好。
Types of Interviews
- Structured: The interviewer will usually have a focused agenda and a list of specific questions.
- Unstructured: The interviewer may ask broad, general questions and will not take charge of the interview. The applicant is nonverbally encouraged to present qualifications.
- Group: A group interview features several candidates interviewed at one time. This style is used to determine how the candidate interacts in a team, or for organizations that hire in large numbers.
- Panel: More than one interviewer, or a search committee, questions a candidate. Direct eye contact is important in establishing rapport with each interviewer.
InterviewStream: Practice Interviewing Online
这个软件会根据你的工作意向对你提一堆问题，你可以用来练习回答。每个问题你都可以排练N次。 在GWork里面能找到
To access InterviewStream, log into your GWork profile and look for the icon on the left.
Ace Your Interview Workshop （有用度☆☆☆）
RSVP in the GWork Events Calendar 把上面关于面试的那些讲一遍，然后挑一个人上去帮你实战练习。看别人面试然后有人把错误指出来还是挺有帮助的。

Salary Negotiation
所有面试都结束后，如果人家想要你，你有机会跟对方商量薪资和福利。（不过大公司的薪资标准基本上是固定的，你谈了也就是那么多钱，顶多多要点福利什么的，保险啦，带薪休假的天数啦，401K养老金啦之类之类的）

Networking
社交是对找工作帮助最大的
你的社交网络包括来自你生活方方面面的人：过去的雇主和同事、朋友、熟人、推荐人、飞机上认识的、party上认识的.....如果想发展稳固的社交网络，考虑做以下这些：
- Be prepared（我理解为做好心理准备）
- Realistically assess your strengths, interests, values and goals. Be clear in communicating them to others. 准备好台词，有机会就能说出来。电影里面常有的桥段：在电梯里偶遇HR，人家愿意给你20秒的时间要你简述一下自己的简历/自己想拉赞助的项目，你要能张口就说才行。
- Conduct thorough research on the type of position, employer or industry of interest prior to conducting a networking connection. Learn the name and title of the person with whom you are networking. 知道你打算深交的人是谁，不然你在某个场合和一个人谈话，让人家帮你推荐工作，但是你都不知道这是谁，那多尴尬啊
- 第一印象很重要！把每个社交活动/不招人的面试都当成潜在的“淘汰制面试”。所谓“不招人的面试”：招聘会上有些公司并不收简历，他们只和你谈话，向你介绍公司情况、招聘职位，并鼓励你去网站上应聘。即使这样也要力争上游！留个强烈印象，万一过几天网申碰到和你谈话过、对你留下深刻印象的HR审视你的材料，你自然加分。
- 准备好简历！说要就能给！
- Respect the time of the person with whom you are networking. If this is a pre-planned networking meeting, arrive on time. 注意时间很重要，别缠着人家说个没完，招人讨厌了就不好了.
- Ask specific, targeted questions which add new knowledge to your information about the type of position, employer or industry you are interested in for the future.
- 争取做到一场network结束之后你马上就知道自己下一步该干什么，或者能获得有用的人的联系方式.
- Communicate clearly (verbally and non-verbally) and demonstrate at least beginning knowledge of the industry/functions you are exploring. Practice mock networking/informational interviewing sessions, as needed.
- Take the time to send a personalized follow-up thank you letter within 48 hours after your networking meeting. 很重要！学校的面试讲座会告诉你该怎么写
Workshops & Events
career center或者alumini association有时会组织speed networking的活动，可以去尝试一下，不一定就能找到什么职位，但也能了解并练习一下美国找工作最重要的一种方法。RSVP in the GWork Events Calendar （有用度：初学者☆☆☆☆ 已熟悉方法者☆）

另外GWork上还会有各大公司的information session，大家可以有空去看看有没有心仪的工作。每学期学校组织的大型招聘会，虽然大多数都不招国际学生，但即使暂时不找工作也尽量去投投简历，会场外面会有career center的人帮你练习1分钟自我介绍，是很好的锻炼机会。
