罗森塔尔建议，保证面试官始终能够看到屏幕，“比如把它放在你与面试官中间的桌面上。尽量避免在屏幕面向自己的时候滚动屏幕，因为对方根本看不见，或者这会让对方以为你在隐藏某些东西。”

    他补充道，提前练习也是个好主意，“可以确保你能迅速找到自己希望展示的内容，而不是笨手笨脚地到处查找。你得表现得有条理、够专业，就像在纸面上做展示一样。”

    再加一条提示：在进入面试间之前，关闭平板设备的提醒，因为“你肯定不希望在面试过程中被突如其来的信息所干扰。你希望自己的平板设备提高讨论的效果，而不是造成干扰，”罗森塔尔建议道。

    当然，你那位携带手机参加面试的朋友，可能指出，可以在线访问的任何信息，都可以在手机上查看，但罗森塔尔表示：“手机屏幕太小。你肯定不希望面试官眯着眼看那么小的手机屏幕。”

    对于是否应该携带任何电子设备（或其他设备）参加面试，有一条通用的规则：“如果它不能增加任何实质性的效果——或者更糟糕的是，如果它会令面试官厌恶——那还是乖乖把它放在车里吧。”

    反馈：你曾经或者以后会携带平板设备参加面试吗？如果你是一名招聘经理，你是否会反对这种做法？欢迎评论。（财富中文网）

    Make sure the interviewer can see the screen at all times, “maybe by setting it on the desk between you,” Rosenthal suggests. “Try to avoid scrolling through anything with the screen facing you, so that the other person can’t see it, or it will look as if you’re hiding something.”

    It’s also a good idea to practice beforehand, “to make sure you can quickly find what you want to show, instead of having to fumble around looking for it,” he adds. “You want to come across as organized and professional, just as you would if your presentation were on paper.”

    One more tip: Turn off notifications on the tablet before you go in, since “you don’t want to get pinged by messages during the interview,” Rosenthal says. “You want your tablet to enhance the discussion, not distract from it.”

    Of course, your phone-toting friend might point out that anything you can access online is probably also available on a cell phone, but “the real estate is too small,” Rosenthal says. “You don’t want anyone having to squint at that tiny screen.”

    The general rule for whether or not to bring any electronic device (or, for that matter, anything else) to an interview: “If it doesn’t add anything substantive—or, even worse, if it could possibly be an annoyance—then by all means leave it in the car.”
