开场白（prolusion）有可能决定整个面试的基调。所谓“前三分钟定终身”，即你给面试考官的第一印象，从言谈举止到着装打扮，都会影响到你被录取的机会。要彬彬有礼，但不要显得过分殷勤；要大方得体，但不要过分拘谨或谦让。还有，应试者需要注意的是，虽然对方为了缓和紧张气氛会问几个轻松的问题，但回答时一定要有礼貌，答案要抓住重点，尽量考虑对方最想知道什么。

NOTES 注释
面试可能是一对一进行，也可能是集体面试，一般之前都有预约。如果是集体面试，主考官会轮流叫人，进入房间后只要自己介绍就可以了。如果是一对一的情况，则可以说明一下自己是提前预约过：
"I come here for an interview by appointment."或者"I am coming to your company for an interview as requested."
如果是第一次登门拜访，则需要说明你的来意和一些相关情况，比如你是从广告上看到的招聘启事或者是经人推荐的，一定要说清楚：
"Excuse me, please. I wish to apply for the vacancy advertised in the morning newspaper yesterday. Has the vacancy been filled?"或者"I was referred to your company by Mr. White, your manager."
