How should I prepare for an internship interview?

怎样为实习面试做准备呢?

It's time to really start looking into this company, and not only the company, but the broader umbrella. What does this company do? What does it fall under? Be smart and know things about your industry. You're not going to know everything, and they don't expect you to know everything. If you want a job in politics, start going to political websites, start knowing who's who. You don't want to go in and work for Mitt Romney and when they ask you who Fred Thompson is you say “That Law and Order actor?” You want to know who he is. You want to know that he's a Republican and not a Democrat, especially if you want to work for a Republican and not a Democrat. If you're applying to be an intern for a Democrat, you'd better know what the democratic issues are. You'd better know that that thing with the rotunda and the woman on top is the Capital building because I swear to God, people don't know that. Make flash cards for yourself. Be prepared to go into an interview knowing about the company, but also knowing about the field and the broader spectrum of what the company does. What I like to say is create tons of Google alerts, for the company, for maybe the person you want to work for, and for the industry. Every night you will have a Google alert waiting for you and you can just browse through it and absorb it. Osmosis. Get it into your system. Get the juices flowing, because you don't want to sit in an interview and look like a moron and have nothing to talk about. The other thing you want to do is make sure that you have questions for them. There's nothing worse than when they say, and they will say, “Do you have any questions for me?”

首先要认真研究这家公司，而且不只是这家公司，还有更广阔的范围。这家公司是做什么的?被归入什么行列?还要了解整个行业。你不需要了解一切，他们也不想让你了解一切。如果你要从事政治方面的工作，开始登录政治网站，开始了解谁是谁。如果你不想为米特·罗姆尼工作，面试的时候如果他们问你弗雷德·汤普森是谁，你回答“是不是那个法律和秩序演员?”你要知道他是谁。你要知道他是共和党而非民主党，尤其是如果你想要为共和党而非民主党工作。如果你想去民主党那里实习，你最好了解民主党的一些事情。你要知道，顶端有一个女子的圆形建筑是国会大厦。因为我发誓，许多人不知道。为自己制作耀眼的名片。进入公司面试时做好充分的准备，不仅要了解这家公司，还要了解整个行业。我建议使用谷歌提醒功能，了解关于这个公司，关于你想要跟随的领导，关于整个行业的消息。每天晚上谷歌提醒都会发给你相关信息，你可以随意浏览，然后映入自己脑海中。因为面试的时候你不想傻傻地坐在那里无话可说。另一件事是确保你有问题问他们。如果他们问你：“你有什么问题问我们吗?”你却没有话说，这是最糟糕的了。
