你獲得面試了，恭喜！如何留下好印象對成功與否至關重要。就算英文還可以，由於緊張也可能發揮不好。更何況，有些情況不是英文本身的錯誤，而是是否選擇了適當的詞在適當的時候説出來。
面試的英文需要運用一系列比較專業的詞彙，並且善用幾種時態，如説明過去的工作要用過去時，以前取得的成績要用過去完成時等等。這裏我們就講講什麼時候該説什麼。
當你走進僱主的辦公室，先介紹自己，握手，微笑很重要。此後第一句話往往是打開局面的，通常面試人員會問：
How are you today?
Did you have any trouble finding us?
What do you think of the weather lately?
他們的語調可能會很友好，因為他們也希望你放鬆，儘量發揮你自己的水平。這時候你要有簡單爽快而有禮貌的迴應，如：
對方問：How are you today?
好的回答是：Im fine thank you, and you? 或 Im well thank you.
不好的回答是：So, so 或 OK 或Not so well
面試過程中最重要的部分是表述自己的學歷，工作經驗和資歷。這些是和你應聘工作直接相關的。
學歷方面：記住你的學歷是在以前完成的，要用過去時態。例如：
I attended the University of Beijing from 1990 to 1993.
I graduated with a degree in civic engineering.
如果你現在還是學生，那麼應用現在時態，例如：
I am currently studying at the University of York and will graduate with a degree in Economics in the coming spring.
I am studying English at the Seneca Community College.
記得要告訴僱主，你仍然在不斷改善你的英語，比如你每週還上幾小時的英語課。因為英文不是你的母語，他們對此可能會有顧慮。
工作經驗和資歷無疑是面試中最重要的部分。所以僱主很想知道箇中的許多細節。僱主想知道你到底做過什麼，做得好不好。因此你不要謙虛，把最好的成績和方面表達出來。
當談到你目前在做的工作時你可以用現在完成進行時，表示你不但一直在這樣做，而且將來也會持續下去：
ABC Engineering Inc. have employed me for the last 3 years as a salesperson. I have been creating customer contacts for 6 months.
但談到以前的工作時用過去時：
I was employed by Jacksons Ltd. from 1995 to 1997 as a office manager.
I worked as a production supervisor at the Heitz while I was living in New York.
當談及以前的工作成績和表現，儘量用一些主動的，積極的，令人印象深刻的動詞，比用名詞或者系動詞詞組效果好。比如與其説My job is to assist the senior scientist with unit testing不如説I assisted the senior scientist with unit testing.與其説I was responsible for the business needs analysis不如説I analyzed the business needs.
以下是一些非常好的動詞來幫助你表達你幹得多好：

arbitrated arranged assisted attained blended brought
built carried out catalogued changed classified collaborated

constructed consulted contracted controlled cooperated
