hiring managers today have a lot of tools at their disposal to figure out if you‘re qualified for a job. the internet reveals your history， and often the content and quality of your work; linkedin can provide a plethora of references from people who have worked with you， whether you actually provide them to the employer yourself or not. and a phone screen can give a sense of your verbal abilities.如今招聘人員有很多辦法判斷是否你具備工作資格。他們可以在網上搜尋到你的個人背景、工作內容和業績。 linkedin網站提供了來自和你共事的`人們對你的大量評價，不管你有沒有自己把這些提供給應聘者。電話面試也能體現出一個人的語言表達能力。
so what‘s left？ whether or not you click with them －－ whether they like you. remember that intangible thing that happens on a date when you decide if you like the person or not？ the same thing happens with hiring.那麼剩下還有什麼？就是你和他們是否一拍即合——他們是不是喜歡你。記得在約會時決定喜不喜歡對方時那一種無形的東西嗎？在這方面，招聘和約會是一樣的。
this is what the face－to－face interview is all about. so make a great first impression， and focus on making sure the interviewer likes you.這就是面對面面試的目的。所以要給別人一個絕好的第一印象，注意一定要去讓面試官喜歡你。
