文化意识 Nowadays, job interviews are playing an important part in deciding whether a person can get a job finally. But job interviews aren't the same all over the world. An interviewer's “body language” and questions, and the forms of an interview can be very different from country to country.
If you're at a job interview in Japan, don't look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite and makes the interviewer unhappy. But if you're at an interview in the USA, you should make eye contact(交流)with the interviewer. If you don't, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability and cross your name off the final list.
In Canada, interviewers usually don't ask questions about personal information like family members and their jobs. In China, however, personal questions are often asked during job interviews.
In Germany, your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal(正式的)interview. The interviewee should pay special attention to the clothes he wears that day. But in Mexico, the whole interview might not be formal, which makes the interviewee think he is talking with an old friend.
