问题有无数，我就不列了，以上仅供参考．还有，回答问题要流利，有符合你
个人的情况，不要有标准答案，更不能从Knock'em Dead那本书上照搬，说不
定面试你的人看过那本书． 找工作的一点经验 (６): 你可以问的问题
一定要准备好问题来问面试你的人，最好要和工作有关的，
关于福利待遇的最好先别问了．以下是常见的可以问的问题：
(1) what would my responsibilities and duties for?
(2) what are the most difficult aspects of this position?
(3) what si the philopsophy on training and development there?

email, stop by or phone? 找工作的一点经验 (7): on-site interview
On-site interview就说明你有很大的可能了，去面试要好好准备，
一般从通知你到出发怎么也得有个几天，如果你平时准备充分，
几天就够你充实的了．要把与工作有关的技术知识都准备好，
还要想想怎么表现出色，怎么对付ＨＲ的问题，老板的问题．
(1)简历要打印出来带上，１０份一般足够了．防止有人没有你的简历，
还有，网上发的简历一般有好多ＴＥＸＴ格式的，不好看，你可以
准备ＷＯＲＤ的简历，看起来比较好．
(2)最好用专用的简历打印纸，一定要激光打印，喷墨的一般质量不高．
(3)面试前要休息好，保持旺盛的斗志．有些公司会发面试日程发给你，
这样你就有准备了，大概要见些什么人，说些什么话．有些公司是
不发给你的，就要看临场发挥了．
(4) 要有自信，不要忐忑不安，说话流利，面带笑容，不要吞吞吐吐．
见面握手要有力度．坐姿要端正，别趴在桌子上．
(5)午餐不要点太多的太贵的东西，嘴里有饭就别说话，免得出问题．
而且不要小看了午餐的面试，不要太放松警惕，尤其是和你老板吃
午餐，要显的随和，容易相处，有礼貌，可以适当放松点．
(6)有时候表达不清楚时，可以在white board上画个图来解释．不要
看手表来决定还剩几分种．一般一个session 45分钟或１个小时，
很快的．
(7) 别忘了要每个人的联系方式，以便你写感谢信或者ＥＭＡＩＬ．
(8) 有条件的话去之前找个朋友练习一下.
还有,装简历和其他资料的夹子最好是皮的,office depot 等地方有卖的,
20$就差不多了.用纸的夹子显的不太好. 找工作的一点经验 (8): Follow up and offer
I know every one wants an offer.
面试完了,有的公司会马上决定,有的要拖那么一周两周,
甚至更长.耐心等待. 但是别忘了给每个人写个感谢信,
夸夸他们的公司,工作环境,还有面试你的人的技术能力,
然后提一下你是多么地合适他们的职位(其实你不一定,
也不一定喜欢,这年头顾不了这么多了,如果你还没有
一个offer的话),最后说自己真的是这个职位的最好
选手,当然要列出个123. 然后说,我真的希望明天就能
和你们这些talented people一起工作(虽然他们也可能
问了些stupid的问题), 真是我的荣幸之类的话.
等到你真的拿到offer了,别忘了稍微跟他们negotiate 一下,
虽然现在的市场很糟糕. 可是你别希望能有多大的改进,
除非你手里握着其他更好的offer. 所以要多努力,
才有可能有讨价还价的余地. 实际上,大多数人都找的
焦头烂额的了,哪有心思再去要多那么2000块钱啊. 能
搞定一个就烧高香了.
就这么多了,大家有好的经验请补充, 说白了,找工作靠下面
几点:
(1)实力
(2)运气
(3)耐心
(4)高昂的斗志
关于运气,实在是难说,但是有一句名言大家都知道:
Chance only favors those heads that are prepared.
别忘了让你信教的朋友给你祈祷一下,我真想说:Thank God!
虽然偶不是教徒,但是偶的朋友帮我了许多,现在我不能不信
上帝了:P
