Job interviews(面试) can be very different from country to country. An interviewer’s “body language” and questions, and the form of an interview are not the same around the world.

If you’re at a job interview in Japan, don't look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite. But if you're at an interview in the U. S. , you should make eye contact(交流) with the interviewer. If you don’t, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability.

In the U. S. and some other countries, interviewers aren’t supposed to ask questions about family and personal information. In most countries, however, personal questions are very common during job interviews.

In Germany, your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal(正式的) interview. In Mexico and many other countries, the whole interview might not be formal.
