| | 其实面试过程中感觉还很好，只是刚开始的时候有些紧张。小会议室里面一个主管网络运行的经理、三个工程师围着俺发问，长得又是五颜六色的，能不紧张吗？况且本来以为是实际操作，昨天一直都在作相关的准备，没想到今天会是这样的场景。心里压力更大了，谁知道他们会问些什么啊？
结结巴巴回答完第一个问题之后，心里才开始有些底气了。后来连珠炮般的问题也都抵挡过去，理论、规划、实践、运营、策略、维护，等等，几乎全都问到了，让我接连设计了十几个方案，还要让俺指出其中的优劣。尤其那个负责Customer Service的工程师，设想了N个场景，问题刁的简直都让俺快吐血了。还好我凭着经验，兵来将挡，水来土屯，绞尽脑汁都解决了，速度也很快。不知不觉两个半小时就过去了，俺出了一身臭汗。
期间那个经理看来对我印象还很好，笑着对其他人说，这是个好人，总是为公司着想。。。因为俺设计的那些方案，分析优劣的时候总要考虑运营商的利益所在。后来俺偷偷地问一个工程师总共见过几个应聘的，他说见了N个，不过这回二次面试就只有俺一个。这些加起来应该就是个好兆头了，可是面试结束后，俺又像第一次那样，被客气地送出来了，没有任何结果，俺哭。
回家的路上，俺买了三瓶大可乐，狂灌。管他结果如何，先解解渴再说，俺的嗓子都干了。小镇的风景很美，也很安静，只可惜这里也许不会属于俺。
火车上人不少，中介打电话过来问结果，俺如实说了。中介说其实第一次的时候经理就对俺的技术非常满意，只是担心俺的英语，怕交流起来有问题。呜呜，看来这是俺的致命伤啊！平时还好，要真是工作中面对那些稀奇古怪口音的客户，俺毕竟是个外国人啊，不敢保证真的能够全部听懂他们的需求。
唉，更加郁闷了。
回到家里，大家都来安慰俺，可是俺的心里还是不能释怀。这是俺第一家公司的面试，俺已经尽俺所能，就这么fail了实在是不甘心。可是不甘心又能如何？惟今之计只能是一边等明天的消息，一边再次用简历轰炸骚扰伦敦的中介们，争取多来一点机会，只要天上不断的掉馅饼，地上虽然人挺多，但总会有一个砸到俺张得大大的嘴里，呵呵，只要俺一天没找到工作，中介们也别想消停。
说好了第二天给中介消息，俺惴惴不安地等了几乎一天都没有该中介的电话打来。期间倒是有几次电话响了，俺的小心脏扑通扑通跳着去接。可惜都是其他中介来电话说工作的事，虽然俺有点心不在焉，但也不敢疏忽大意，赶紧应付过去。家里人都陪着俺担了一天的心，LP打了几次电话回来问消息，最后也有些失望地说可能不行了，因为原先她也有过类似的经历，面试感觉很好，可就此再无消息，就这样结束了。俺想可能也是这样，算了，forget it！重新开始job seeking吧。这次运气不好，也许多来几次，好运会就来了。
没想到5点多中介来了电话，这都到了他都快下班的时候吧。又分析了一下俺的优劣势所在，又问了俺的期望工资，就说跟人家联系去了，20分钟后或者明天早上给我结果。这回俺大着胆子提了个35千每年，心想反正俺死猪不怕开水烫，不行拉倒，不过还是有点心虚地说低于此数也可以商量，中介淡淡地说尽量争取吧。
20分钟很难熬啊！不过这次中介倒没有拖到第二天。电话一响，俺赶紧接通并把音量开到最大，生怕漏过一个字去。
中介说，老John啊，首先告诉你一个好消息。
俺心头狂喜，颤颤巍巍地问，结果是什么啊？
中介停了一下说，嗯，人家同意给你这个offer了。
俺差点把电话掉地上，就这么，成了？哈哈哈，狂笑中。
中介又说，不过还有一个坏消息。
俺一抖，是什么啊？
心想，不管是什么，俺只要有了这个工作，其他都没问题。你尽管说吧，俺心脏强劲能承受任何打击。
他说，你工资要35千是吧？
俺连连称是。
他说，可惜我没法帮你了。
俺下意识地问为什么啊？
心想，这算什么坏消息啊？少点少点吧，本来这次俺就狮子大开口了，就算打点折扣俺也赚了。
他说，因为我给你要了44千啊！
晕倒，爬起，狂呼！（全家狂喜/狂呼/流泪/拥抱中，把俺宝贝儿子都吓哭了，打生下来就没见过这么多神经病凑在一起过。）
后记：
找工作还是得靠中介，他们毕竟是职业做这个的，消息灵通、与敌作战经验丰富，了解对方底线，能够帮助应聘者扬长避短，争取最大利益。比如俺这个工作，该公司网站上根本就没有个空缺职位，招的都是些Sales之类的工作。另外工资的争取与中介的努力是分不开的。
俺对英国市场行情不了解，除了自己能干什么之外，一无所知。没有中介，俺不可能这么快找到工作，最多也就是到炸鸡店part
time或者cleaner。这次从贴CV到正式拿到offer，不到两个礼拜，而俺和LP原来最乐观的预想也是3个月。
所以，首先得让自己通过中介这一关，把CV写好，让中介觉得值得去为之努力，他努力可比俺努力效率高多了。剩下的就全看自己的发挥了，运气成分比较大。
集中回答一下：
1。俺只在CV上写了“References available upon request”，并没有提供reference，另外从头到尾没有人问俺要过这个。
2。中介是从俺说的那三家网站上看到俺求职的，至于具体他说的是哪一家，俺想不起来了，只能说CWjob和monster的可能性比较大，因为印象中电话里好像没有人说起过reed。
3。那段短文如下：
GIVING A GOOD JOB INTERVIEW
You need to convince the interviewer that you are the best possible person for the job.
Before you enter the interview room, you are just another name on the list. Make sure that by the time you come out, yours is the only name on it.
Stay calm, think clearly and don’t let tricky questions and being under pressure put you off your stride.
PreparationMake sure you know exactly where the interview will take place, and the name and position of the person you are due to meet. Work out your route in advance and allow a generous margin of error in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Have the telephone number of the company handy so that you can let them know if you are running late as this is generally forgiven whereas unannounced lateness generally isn’t.
Find out approximately how long the interview will take and arrange other appointments accordingly – don’t leave your car on a meter and end up worrying more about being clamped than getting the job.
Research
Where we can, we include company information to help you prepare for your interview and give you a better understanding of the company and the work it produces.
However, you may find that digging a little deeper also boosts your confidence at the interview.
Being even a little knowledgeable demonstrates to the interviewer that you have gone to the trouble to see whether you’d fit into the team and make a successful ‘career’ out of the ‘job’. Make sure you ask intelligent questions but not of the “how much holiday?” variety!
Quiz yourself
Time and again interviewers ask the same general questions in additions to those of a more technical nature. Common are “Why are you interested in this position” “Tell me about your current boss”. “What are the most satisfying/frustrating things about your current employment? “What are your strengths/where do you think your weaknesses lie?” Why do you think we should give you the job?” “Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years time?” Learn them, prepare your answers, practice on friends.
Dress to impressPeople shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but they do, all the same. If you look untidy that’s how you’ll be remembered and first impressions really do count.
Always wear a suit and tie or neat skirt/dress and polish your shoes. Even if you are attending a second interview and you know the organisation allows less formal work dress, maintain a professional/formal approach, as you don’t know who you may happen to meet, the Managing Director perhaps!
It may sound obvious, but be civilised and remember your manners. Shake hands firmly with people you are are introduced to and when you leave. If you are offered a coffee say your pleases and thank yous, but keep it natural.
Be unaggressively assertive
Find the right tone in which to present your positive aspects. You have to talk about your achievements to show you are the right person, but do it without being boastful. Under no circumstances should you spend a significant portion of the interview running down your current employer – this is viewed as negative.
Turn weaknesses into strengths Don’t pretend you haven’t got any weaknesses because everyone has some. On the other hand, don’t do yourself down, because you could be talking your way out of a job. Discuss your weaknesses as though you have recognised them and strive to overcome them. “I used to have bad time management so now I prioritise my workload first thing every morning.” “I like to take control and be involved in everything. I sometimes find it hard to delegate but when I have, the results have been positive”.
If you lack technical strength in a particular area don’t try and ‘smokescreen’ but admit; “no, that isn’t my strongest suit, but I’m sure it’s not going to be a problem to pick up”.
Have a positive attitudeAbove all, don’t wait until after the event to decide that you wish you’d tried harder to get the position. Always go in with the intention of getting an offer, only then do you really have the chance to weigh up how this opportunity compares with others. Many people, with the benefit of hindsight, have regretted they didn’t take a particular interview sufficiently seriously. Don’t let yourself be in this ‘if only’ category!
Some worthwhile questions
Finally, if you are given the chance to ask questions you should always take it. It’s best to ask questions that fit naturally into the context of the interview, and there is obviously no benefit in asking a previously prepared question if the subject matter has been adequately covered. It simply looks like you haven’t paid attention.
However, if inspiration fails you here are some suggestions which should give you the right impression:
• What is logical progression within the position, where can I expect to be if my performance is good?
• What are the future plans for the company and department?
• What, in your opinion, are the major reasons why someone should join this company?
