面试预约的重要性
许多求职者在接到用人单位的面试通知时，想着自己的求职之路终于要看见光明了，必定是欣喜万分的，但是一定要将面试的时间、地点确定下来。此外，还要记下一些注意事项，做到万无一失。
Jack: Why?
杰克：为什么呢？
Mary: If you go to the company without appointment, the interviewers may happen to be busy with other things, and have no time to give you an interview.
玛丽：如果你没有预约就去公司了，恰巧公司的面试人员在忙别的事情，就没空面试你了。
Jack: Yes, you are right.
杰克：是的，你说得对。
Mary: If the interviewers are not in the company, you will go there for nothing.
玛丽：如果面试人员不在公司的话，你还是白跑一趟。
Jack: Sure. Why didn't I think of that?
杰克：没错。我怎么没想到呢？
Mary: So you should make an appointment in advance with the company for the interview.
玛丽：因此，你去面试前一定要和公司预约好。
Jack: Then how can I make the appointment?
杰克：那我该如何预约呢？
Mary: You could directly call the company and arrange the time and place for the interview.
玛丽：你可以直接拔打公司的电话，确定面试的时间和地点。
Jack: Ok, I see.
杰克：好的，我知道了。
Mary: If you succeed in doing that, you must attend the interview on time.
玛丽：如果你预约成功了，就要准时参加面试。
如果求职者同时预约了好几家公司的面试，最好用笔记本记录清楚各自的面试时间和地点及面试要带的材料，以免出错而失礼，导致错失求职机会。
