【解析】找工作的過程中，面試是一個重要的過程，因為它可能決定你是否可以得到你想要的工作。文章介紹幾個重要的面試技巧。

【1】根據(jù)第一段的句子You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths and should be considered the right person for the job.你想要讓自己作為一個有個人優(yōu)點的整體凸出，應(yīng)該被認為是這份工作的合適人選�？芍�在面試中，如果你想得到想要的工作，應(yīng)該讓自己作為工作的合適人員凸顯出來。故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章給的建議Don’t say anything bad about your former employers.不要說前老板的壞話。可知如果和前老板相處的不好，不要說他的壞話，故選B。

【3】詞義猜測題。A. difficult困難的；B. friendly友好的；C. opposite對立的，反面的；D. different不同的。根據(jù)劃線單詞所在段落，If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you may have much to gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.如果在某些時候，你感覺面試進展的不太順利，不要讓沮喪表現(xiàn)出來。顯示自信不會失去什么，可能會得到更多。故這里下句的意思，或許這是真的，也可能是一個測試，想看你對不利條件的反應(yīng)。故和adverse的意思最接近的是C。

【4】主旨大意題。通讀全文可看出，文章介紹了幾個重要的面試技巧，如：Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. ；Don’t say anything bad about your former employers.；Show the interviewer that your are interested in the company by asking questions.等。故選D。
