 When you go on your job interview(面试) , be sure to dress well, be on time , do your research and NEVER ask any of the following questions:
 1. “How quickly could I be promoted (晋升) ?”

 Although this could be asked, this is the type of information you should get AFTER you've been offered a position and not before.

 Almost all j obs need some kind of teamwork,so any sign that you are not a good team player will leave you with unfavorable points in an employer's eyes.

 The pay is usually discussed after a position has been offered. If an employer offers this subject, feel free to discuss it.

 Maria Mitchell (1818 -1889) ,the first woman astronomer (天文学家) in the United States, was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Her parents valued education and insisted on giving her the same quality of education that boys received.
