11 things that will make you
sound rude in a job interview
1. 'I've been waiting a while'
1.「我已經等了半天了。」
You are totally justified in being annoyed that your interviewer kept you waiting. That being said, you get no brownie points for grumbling.
當面試官讓你久等時，你是完全有理由生氣的。但話雖如此，抱怨是不會為你加分的。
According to Fast Company, a very tardy job interviewer doesn't cast the company you're interviewing with in a particularly good light.
快速公司表示，一位經常遲到的面試官是不可能為你正在面試的這所公司帶來良好前景的。
But, for the sake of not burning any bridges, it's probably better to avoid calling them out on that.
不過，為了不毀掉任何溝通的渠道，你最好還是不要向他們抱怨。
2. 'Hi! I know I'm late but...'
2.「嗨！我知道我遲到了，但.」
Yes, it's a double standard that the interviewee can't be late while the interviewer can get away with it. Still, in most cases, that's just the way it is.
是的，在面試官與求職者之間存在著雙重標準：面試官可以遲到，但求職者不可以。然而，在大多數情況下，事情就是這樣。
Make sure you give yourself enough time to get to the job interview — even if that means showing up super early and waiting around at a nearby coffee shop, Business Insider previously reported.
商業內幕網之前曾報導過，你一定要確保自己有足夠的時間可以及時參加面試---即使你會到得很早並在附近的咖啡店等待。
And if you are late, don't draw attention to it or make excuses. Quickly apologize and move on.
並且如果你遲到了，也不要過分關注這件事或者找藉口解釋。立即向面試官道個歉，讓面試繼續進行就好了。
3. 'Are you married?/Do you have kids?/How old are you?/etc.'
3.「你結婚了嗎？有孩子了嗎？你多大了？」等等
Keep things professional. Never ask the interviewer any personal questions — or anything that could be offensive.
在面試中要表現出專業性。永遠不要問面試官一些私人問題---或者任何帶有冒犯性的問題。
You'll come across as prying, and potentially a bit creepy.
因為這樣你會給面試官留下愛打聽別人隱私的印象，可能會讓面試官牴觸。
That goes especially for potentially insulting queries, like whether or not a woman is pregnant.
特別是有些問題可能會冒犯人，例如問一位女性是否懷孕。
"If you are not pregnant, it is very much a ground-swallow-me-up-now moment as you struggle to find the words to explain to a perfect stranger that it is very much just a food baby under your jumper," Catherine Phillips wrote in the Metro.
凱薩琳•菲利普斯在《都市報》中寫道：「如果你沒有懷孕，那麼向一位完全不認識的人解釋這不過是因為自己吃的太多所以顯得肚子太大時，你簡直恨不得找個地縫鑽進去。」
4. 'Who should I avoid in the office?'
4.「在辦公室裡我應避免和誰起衝突？」
Don't embroil yourself in coworker drama before you've even stepped foot into the office. This just makes you sound like a petty person.
在踏入辦公室之前，不要將自己捲入辦公室衝突中。這會讓你聽起來像是一個心胸狹隘的人。
Saying something like this might make the hiring manager suspect that you're an untrustworthy gossip.
並且這個問題會讓面試官懷疑你是一個靠不住的、愛八卦的人。
Elana Lyn Gross writes in the Career Contessa that office rumor-mongers are particularly troublesome, as they spread both true and false information to "undermine" coworkers.
伊萊娜•林恩•格羅斯在《Career Contessa》中寫道，辦公室造謠者特別討厭，因為他們會傳播一些真真假假的信息來「挑撥」同事關係。
Don't indicate to the hiring manager that you're going to cause trouble in the office down the line.
不要讓面試官覺得你以後會給辦公室的同事關係帶來麻煩。
5. 'S---,' 'b----,' 'f---,' etc.
5.辱罵性的話語
Angrily swearing at someone (your interviewer or otherwise), on the other hand, would definitely knock you out of the running. This goes double for any offensive, racist, or sexist speech.
另一方面，憤怒地辱罵面試官或者其他人絕對會讓你在面試中淘汰出局。這比任何攻擊性、種族歧視性或性別歧視的言論還要嚴重。
But in general, hold off on the profanities. Curse words will make you sound rude, vulgar, and unprofessional.
但總之，不要說些不雅的話。髒話會使你聽起來很粗魯、粗俗並且不專業。
Plus, Business Insider's Shana Lebowitz previously reported that a 2012 study found that people perceive those who swear as being less intelligent.
此外，商業內幕網的夏娜•萊博維茨曾報導，2012年的一項研究發現，人們認為那些愛辱罵的人不太聰明。
6. 'Excuse me, I need to take this call really quickly'
6.「不好意思，我需要先接個電話。」
It's better to just avoid this pitfall by silencing your phone, Jennifer Parris writes for FlexJobs.
珍妮弗•帕裡斯為求職網站FlexJobs寫道，為了避免此類面試隱患出現，最好是把手機調成靜音。
But accidents happen. If you're halfway through a job interview when your phone starts ringing, don't take the call. "It's disrespectful to the interviewer, even if you just blurt into the phone, 'I'll call you right back', and hang up," Parris writes.
但意外情況總會發生。帕裡斯表示，如果面試進行到一半的時候，你的手機響了，不要接聽。她寫道：「即使你接起來立刻說『我稍後打給你』，然後立馬掛斷，對面試官來說這仍然是不禮貌的。」
Instead, apologize immediately and silence your phone.
相反，你應該馬上道歉並把電話調成靜音。
7. 'I just need a job'
7.「我需要這份工作。」
Seriously, contain your enthusiasm. This may be true, but definitely don't admit it to your interviewer.
說真的，你需要控制住自己的熱情。你的熱情可能是真的，但絕對不要向面試官承認這一點。
Writing for SnagaJob, Amy White recommends coming into the interview truly prepared to answer the question: "Why do you want to work here?"
埃米•懷特在小時工網站SnagaJob上的一篇文章建議求職者在進入面試室前要準備好回答：「你為什麼想要這份工作？」這一問題。
"Enthusiasm, eagerness, and energy are a first-time job hunter's best friend," she writes.
她寫道：「熱情，熱心以及活力對第一次找工作的求職者來說是最好的朋友。」
Be ready to talk about your long-term goals, interest in the company, and desire to improve your professional skills. Otherwise, you might end up blurting out that you're just desperate.
要做好向面試官講述你的長期目標、對公司的興趣以及渴望提升自己專業技能的準備。否則，你可能最終會脫口而出你極度渴望得到這份工作。
8. 'Sorry — I've got to run!'
8.「抱歉，我得走了。」
What have you got, a date or something? Try to keep your schedule relatively uncluttered on the day of the interview.
你還有什麼安排，約會還是其他的事？在面試那天一定要保持一個比較有序的日程安排。
Forbes reported that there are certain instances when it's probably best to just pack your things and go.
《福布斯》曾報導過，在一些情況下，最好的做法就是把其他事情放到一邊。
But unless you've hit rock bottom in the interview, or the interviewer is some sort of psychopath, it's probably best to just wait it out.
但除非你在面試中實在表現很差或者面試官有些神經質，否則最好靜候面試結束。
9. 'The office isn't what I thought it would be'
9.「這處辦公室跟我想像的不一樣。」
You're here as a job candidate, not as a super-critical interior decorator. Don't imply that you're disappointed or underwhelmed.
你是一位求職者，不是吹毛求疵的室內裝潢設計師。不要表現出你的失望和乏味的情緒。
10. 'Dude/honey/girls/ladies/man/guys'
10.「夥計、親愛的、姑娘、女士、兄弟、朋友」
This one's a toss-up. Some people are totally cool with being called things like "guys" or "ladies." Others get really irked. It's probably better to err on the side of caution here, lest you come off as belittling or disrespectful.
稱呼是很難說清的。一些人不介意被叫做「朋友」或是「女士」。但另一些就會生氣。因此最好小心為妙，以免給人留下輕視他人或者不尊重他人的印象。
Etiquette expert and speaker Jacqueline Whitmore previously told Business Insider that it's probably not a good idea to use slang or casual language, unless you're certain that sort of thing matches the organization's company culture.
禮節專家和演講家傑奎琳•惠特摩爾曾告訴商業內幕網，使用俚語或者隨意的語言可能不是個好主意，除非你確定這類語言符合該組織的公司文化。
Err on the side of formality.
為穩妥起見，還是正式一點為好。
11. 'That's not how I'm used to doing it'
11.「我不習慣這樣做。」
If you start talking about the nitty gritty details of your new job, make sure to avoid coming across like you think you know better than anyone else. Criticizing the company's way of doing this is a surefire way to alienate your interviewer.
如果你開始與面試官談論新工作的細節，那麼一定要避免給人留下你覺得自己比任何人都懂的印象。批評公司的做事方式一定會讓面試官疏遠你。
Plus, Business Insider's Shana Lebowitz reports that highly intelligent folks are "flexible and able to thrive in different settings." Clinging to your old habits and methods could make you seem stubborn and narrow-minded.
此外，商業內幕網的莎娜•拉伯維治表示，高智商的人「靈活且能在不同的環境中茁壯成長」。堅持你的老習慣和方法可能會使你顯得既頑固又心胸狹隘。
