求职面试：如何推销自己，拿到职场高分？（双语）

Selling yourself to an employer has never been more important.

At a recent webinar sponsored by the American Bar Association, "How to Sell Yourself: Developing the Perfect Pitch," panelists outlined the tools and skills necessary for a great interview.

The most important thing you can do is be prepared, advised Martha Fay Africa, a partner at the legal recruitment firm Major, Lindsay & Africa in San Francisco.

"Do your homework - read and study and learn about your potential employer and its competitors," she advised.

Always bring extra copies of your resume and dress professionally, she added.

Africa said interviewees should attempt to strike a balance between dominating the conversation and being too reserved and shy.
