• If you can't answer an interview question, it is okay to say "I need a moment to think about that." It's better to give a thoughtful answer than to say something that will show the interviewer that you're stumped. 

面试结束后

记住: 

• 感谢信要简短，不要超过两段.
• 除了说谢谢, remind the employer of the qualifications that make you a good fit for the position.
• Mention the date of your interview and something you enjoyed discussing during your interview.

网络 is the process of meeting and forming contacts with people in your field of study or industry.
