The first myth is that the aim of interviewing is to obtain the job you want. This is only half correct. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you like; and it also implies turning down the job offer you don't want. The reason for some job-seekers' failure is that they become so used to meeting employers' expectations that they often take up the job they don't really want.
The second one, always please the interviewer, is also not true. Instead of pleasing the interviewer, you should please yourself. You'll get nowhere if you try to give answers that will suit a potential employer without considering your own feelings. Of course, don't be hostile — nobody wants to hire someone disagreeable. Take a middle ground between being too agreeable and being hostile. An effective interview is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your seatmate on an airplane.
The next myth is to try to control the interview. Nobody "controls" an interview, neither you nor the interviewer. Actually, it is an exchange of two parties — like making a telephone call. So hang loose when interviewing: never dominate an interview.
The fourth myth is never to interrupt the interviewer. An exciting conversation always makes us feel free — free to interrupt and show different opinions. So when interviewing, try to be relaxed and natural.
The last myth, don't disagree with the interviewer, is another silly myth. If you don't disagree at times, you consent in fact. Don't hesitate to disagree with your interviewer in an agreeable way. And also feel free to change your mind.

Myth 1:The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer.Only half true.The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want.That often means rejecting job offers you don,t want! So, before you do back-flips for an employer be sure you want the job.
Myth 2:Always please the interviewer.
Not true.Try to please yourself.Giving answers that you think will suit a potential employer and practicing a policy of appeasement (讨好)are certain to get you nowhere.An effective interview (where you are offered the job or not) is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your seatmate on an airplane.
Myth 3 :Never interrupt the interviewer.
An exciting conversation always makes us feel free—free to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically.So, when interviewing, try to be yourself.Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you'll have made an impression.Leaving an employer indifferent is the worst impression you
can make.And the way to make an effective impression is to feel free to be yourself!

The job interview is the moment of truth in job hunting. In addition to how the interviewer sees your qualifications and personal qualities, much will depend on how they evaluate your interview performance in general. Therefore, it is helpful to consider it a performance or a game whose goal is to sell the interviewer on the idea that you are the best person for the job.
Most people take a passive approach to an interview, answering whatever questions they are asked to the best of their ability. A better approach is to take control and give the interviewer what you want to give, not necessarily what they are trying to find out; inspire confidence--to give the interviewer every reason to believe that you can handle the job for which you are being considered and little reason to believe you can't. You do this with more than the answers you provide. Confidence is also inspired by the way you look, the enthusiasm, energy, confidence, personal ability and ambition you show or don't show.
The main reason most candidates do not get the job is that they don't inspire confidence. They don't lose out because they don't have the qualifications to do the job but because their confidence in their ability to do the job didn't come through in the interview. They didn't sell themselves well enough. The reason most don't is because they are nervous and feel too great pressure to perform. Many people feel like failures and become even more anxious if they don't get an offer after each interview. This is unrealistic. Most people who get interviewed get turned down,
Forget about whether you are going to get the job. Just concentrate on the interview and do as many as you can. Interviewing is a skill that is learned with practice just like any sport or performance. Mentally going over what worked and what didn't will improve your performance. Preparation is the key. Practice answering questions and sounding confident. Just like an actor rehearses, you are rehearsing your role as a job candidate. It will give you the confidence to take control when it is your turn "on stage". When you handle the interview with confidence, the job will take care of itself. As in sports, confidence comes from knowing you are prepared. Never go to any interview without doing as much research as possible about the company, institution, etc. Surveys in the US show that lack of familiarity with the company will hurt your chances in as many as 75% of the interviews.
Virtually all interviews are about the following:
Can you do the job?
Will you do the job?
Will you fit into the company?
Regardless of the questions you are asked, the answers you give should fit into one of those three areas--I can do the job. I will do the job. I will fit into your company.
Which factor that may influence your job interview is repeatedly emphasised in the passage?
A.Your confidence.
B.Your personal ability.
C.Your familiarity with the company.
D.Your skills in answering questions.

The importance and focus of the interview in the work of the print and broadcast journalist is reflected in several books that have been written on the topic. Most of these books, as well as several chapters, mainly in, but not limited to, journalism and broadcasting handbooks and reporting texts, stress the "how to" aspects of journalistic interviewing rather than the conceptual aspects of the interview, its context, and implications. Much of the "how to" material is based on personal experiences and general impressions. As we know, in journalism as in other fields, much can be learned from the systematic study of professional practice. Such study brings together evidence from which broad generalized principles can be developed.
