So much about interviewing for a job involves impressing the people doing the hiring. But here’s a depressing dirty secret—no matter how much you want or need a job, your interviewer isn’t necessarily giving you the full scoop on what it’s like to work for a company.Here are a few red flags to look out for to make sure you’re not headed to an office with major issues：
有太多關於面試時要讓招聘官印象深刻的言論了。但這有一個令人沮喪的秘密——無論你多麼想要或需要一個工作，你的面試官不一定會完全告知你在公司工作的情況。這裡有一些可參考的「紅色警戒」，以確保你不會去那些有重大問題的公司：
1. Exaggeration
1. 誇張
Liars sometimes try to cover up their deed with excessive adjective use. For example, you might ask an interviewer about the vacation policy. A truthful response might be, 「Oh yes, we have a flexible vacation policy. You let us know what you need and the boss is most likely to approve it.」 An exaggerated response might be, 「Oh, our vacation policy is extremely flexible. You can practically take off as much time as you want.」
撒謊者有時候試圖用過多的形容詞掩蓋他們的謊言。例如，你可能會詢問面試官假期政策。真實的反應有可能是：「嗯，我們的假期政策比較靈活。你告訴我們需求的話，老闆很可能批准的。」一個誇大的反應可能是：「哦，我們的假期政策非常靈活，實際上你想休息多久都可以。」
2. Common fibs
2. 常見小謊
Of course, the tricky part is that sometimes they’re telling the truth, but it’s not easy to tell the difference.How to handle this? Be sure to pay extra attention and ask follow-up questions that dig deeper to make sure you’re getting all of the information.
當然，棘手的地方是，有時他們說了真話，但不容易辨別是實話還是謊言。那如何處理這種情況?一定要特別留心以及進一步提問更深入了解，以確保你得到所有信息。
3. Body language
3. 肢體語言
A classic clue that’s someone’s lying is when they say something negative (like 「no」) but nod their head up and down (a 「yes」 response). Keep an eye out for these physical inconsistencies.For example, if you ask an interviewer if she likes working at the company, she might say, 「Yes, I love it,」 while unconsciously shaking her head side to side—a 「no」 response. If this happens, keep asking questions until you learn more.
一個經典的表明說謊的線索是當他們說表示否定的話(比如「不」)時，卻點頭了(「是」的回答)。留意這些肢體矛盾。例如，如果你問面試官她是否喜歡在這家公司工作，她可能會說，「是的，我很喜歡。」，但無意識地搖頭——「不」的回答。如果發生這種情況，繼續提問直到你了解到更多情況。
Another potential liar’s move? Defensive body positions. For example, when talking about why someone left the position you’re now applying for, if the interviewer suddenly leans back in his chair and tightly crosses his arms across his chest, it probably means the person didn’t leave on the best of terms.
另一個疑似說謊的舉動?防禦性的身體姿勢。例如，當談到為什麼有人離開你現在申請的職位時，如果面試官突然向後靠在椅子上，雙臂緊緊交叉胸前，這很可能意味著那個人不是在最好的時機離開。

It will serve you well in interviews (and in life!) to do more listening than talking—and really listen. Excitement about a potential job can make you overlook details or only hear what you want to hear. Paying attention to verbal and non-verbal clues is one way to make yourself smarter and savvier on the job hunt.
識別謊言將有助於你在面試(和生活!)中多聽少說，真正聽懂別人的意思。可能得到工作的興奮感會讓你忽略細節或者只聽到你想聽的東西。注意言語和非言語線索是讓你在找工作時變得更精明。
