To many job seekers, "stress" is synonymous with "job interview."

對許多求職者來說，“壓力”就是“面試”的代名詞。

Job seekers stress over landing an interview. Then they stress over preparing for it. And then they stress over what to wear, what to say, if the interviewer will like them and more.

求職者在為獲得面試機(jī)會(huì)而努力時(shí)有壓力。在準(zhǔn)備面試時(shí)也有壓力。然后他們?yōu)樵摯┦裁础⒃撜f什么，面試官是否會(huì)喜歡他們，以及其他許多方面而倍感沉重。

But the worst stress of all often occurs during the interview. This is the stress that can cause you to blow it. It can make you freeze, panic, chatter aimlessly, lose your train of thought or perspire profusely.

但是最糟糕的壓力出現(xiàn)在面試過程中。這會(huì)導(dǎo)致你面試失敗。它使你全身冰涼、驚恐、亂說一氣、思維混亂、冷汗不斷。

So how can job seekers keep cool when it counts? Relax. A few simple techniques can help calm frayed nerves and sooth interview jitters.

那要怎樣才能在重要的面試中保持風(fēng)度呢？別緊張，一些簡單的技巧能讓你放松緊繃的神經(jīng)，緩解對面試的高度緊張。

Early Warning 提前到場

Timing is everything: Don't cause yourself undue stress before a big interview.

時(shí)機(jī)很重要：在重大面試之前不要讓自己處于重壓之下。

Arrive about 10 minutes before the interview is scheduled to begin.

提前十分鐘到場，開始計(jì)劃面試。

If you arrive too early, you'll sit and wait and worry. And if you arrive too late, you may find yourself racing in the door, your heart already pounding from a last-minute dash.

如果你到的太早，坐在那里等待時(shí)就會(huì)擔(dān)心。如果你到得太晚，那么就要奪門而入，最后關(guān)頭的匆忙已經(jīng)讓你的心臟開始怦怦跳了。

A ten-minute, pre-interview break will give you an opportunity to catch your breath and acclimate to your surroundings. It's enough time, but not too much time.

10分鐘，這個(gè)面試前的小憩可以讓你調(diào)整呼吸，熟悉周圍環(huán)境。10分鐘足夠了，而不是一段冗長的時(shí)光。(to be continued)
