你知道面试的真正目的吗?也许你曾纳闷过，你的简历招聘人员已经看过了，他们也对你电话面试过了，所有的证明材料他们也都检查过了，为什么还要你在面试的时候再重复一遍呢?其实面试的真正目的不过是要看看你是否讨他们喜欢。这也是人们在面试中常常失策的地方。

Hiring managers today have a lot of tools at their disposal to figure out if you're qualified for a job. The Internet reveals your history, and often the content and quality of your work; LinkedIn (一个网站，专为商务人士建立联系而用) can provide a plethora of references from people who have worked with you, whether you actually provide them to the employer yourself or not. And a phone screen can give a sense of your verbal abilities。

如今招聘人员有很多办法判断是否你具备工作资格。他们可以在网上搜索到你的个人背景、工作内容和业绩。 LinkedIn 网站提供了来自和你共事的人们对你的大量评价，不管你有没有自己把这些提供给应聘者。电话面试也能体现出一个人的语言表达能力。

So what's left? Whether or not you click with them -- whether they like you. Remember that intangible thing that happens on a date when you decide if you like the person or not? The same thing happens with hiring。

那么剩下还有什么?就是你和他们是否一拍即合——他们是不是喜欢你。记得在约会时决定喜不喜欢对方时那一种无形的东西吗?在这方面，招聘和约会是一样的。

This is what the face-to-face interview is all about. So make a great first impression, and focus on making sure the interviewer likes you。

这就是面对面面试的目的。 所以要给别人一个绝好的第一印象，注意一定要去让面试官喜欢你。
