英文面試技巧

1 / 30 英文面試技巧 1. What can you tell me about yourself? This is not an invitation to give your life history. The interviewer is looking for clues about your character, qualifications, ambitions, and motivations. The following is a good example of a positive response. In high school I was involved in competitive sports and I always tried to improve in each sport I participated in. As a college student, I worked in a clothing store part-time and found that I could sell things easily. The sale was important, but for me, it was even more important to make sure that the customer was satisfied. It was not long before customers came back to the store and specifically asked for me to help them. I m very competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best. 關(guān)于你自己，你能告訴我些什么？ 這一問(wèn)題并非在請(qǐng)你大談你的個(gè)人歷史。雇主是在尋找有關(guān)你性格、資歷、志向和生活動(dòng)力的線索。 下面是一個(gè)積極正面回答的好例子： 在高中我參加各種競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性體育活動(dòng)，并一直努力提高各項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的成績(jī)。大學(xué)期間，我曾在一家服裝店打工，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我能輕而易舉地將2 / 30 東西推銷出去。銷售固然重要，但對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，更重要的是要確信顧客能夠滿意。不久便有顧客返回那家服裝店點(diǎn)名讓我為他們服務(wù)。我很有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)意識(shí)，力求完美對(duì)我很重要。 2. Why do you want to work for us? This is an obvious question and, if you have done your research on the company, you should be able to give a good reason. 0rganize your reasons into several short sentences that clearly spell out your interest. You are a leader in the field of electronics. Your company is a Fortune 5O0 company. Your management is very progressive. 你為什么想為我們工作？ 這是個(gè)明確的問(wèn)題。如果你對(duì)該公司做過(guò)調(diào)查研究，你應(yīng)該能夠給出很好的理由。你要將你的理由編成幾句簡(jiǎn)短的話清楚地表明你的興趣。 如可答： 你們?cè)陔娮宇I(lǐng)域是領(lǐng)頭人。你們公司是財(cái)富雜志評(píng)選的 500 強(qiáng)之一。你們的管理很先進(jìn)。 3. Why should I hire you? Once again, you should not be long winded, but you should provide a summary of your qualifications. Be positive and show that you are capable of doing the job. Based on the internships that I have participated in and the related part-time experiences 3 / 30 I have had, I can do the job. 為什么我應(yīng)該聘用你？ 同樣，你不應(yīng)長(zhǎng)篇大論，而應(yīng)提供有關(guān)你資歷的扼要說(shuō)明。要肯定自己，表明你能勝任此項(xiàng)工作。 如答： 根據(jù)我參加過(guò)的實(shí)習(xí)和與此相關(guān)的打工經(jīng)歷。我能勝任。 4. How do you feel about your progress to date? Never apologize for what you have done. I think I did well in school. In fact, in a number of courses I received the highest exam scores in the class. As an intern for the X Company, I received some of the highest evaluations that had been given in years. 對(duì)于你至今所取得的進(jìn)步你是怎樣看的？ 絕不要對(duì)你以前的所作所為表示內(nèi)疚。 如可答： 我認(rèn)為我在學(xué)校表現(xiàn)不錯(cuò)。事實(shí)上，有好幾門功課我的成績(jī)居全班第一。 在某公司實(shí)習(xí)時(shí)，我獲得了該公司數(shù)年來(lái)給予其雇員的好幾項(xiàng)最高評(píng)價(jià)。 5. What would you like to be doing five years from now? Know what you can realistically accomplish. You can find out by talking to others about what they accomplished in their first five years with a 4 / 30 particular company. I hope to be the best I can be at my job and because many in this line of work are promoted to area manager, I am planning on that also. “如何用英語(yǔ)回答外企面試常見(jiàn)問(wèn)題” 從今以后 5 年內(nèi)你想做些什么？ 你要清楚你實(shí)際上能勝任什么。你可以事先和他人交流一番。問(wèn)問(wèn)他們?cè)谀彻镜念^ 5 年都做了些什么。 如可答。 我希望能在我的職位上盡力做好工作，由于在同一領(lǐng)域工作的許多人都被提為區(qū)域負(fù)責(zé)人， 所以我亦有此打算。 6. What is your greatest weakness? You cannot avoid this question by saying that you do not have any, everyone has weaknesses. The best approach is to admit your weakness but show that you are working on it and have a plan to overcome it. If possible, cite a weakness that will work to the company s advantage. I m such a perfectionist that I won t stop until a job is well done. 你最大的弱點(diǎn)是什么？ 你不應(yīng)該說(shuō)你沒(méi)有任何弱點(diǎn)，以此來(lái)回避這個(gè)問(wèn)題；每個(gè)人都有弱點(diǎn)。最佳策略是承認(rèn)你的弱點(diǎn)，但同時(shí)表明你在予以改進(jìn)，并有克服弱點(diǎn)的計(jì)5 / 30 劃。 可能的話，你可說(shuō)出一項(xiàng)可能會(huì)給公司帶來(lái)好處的弱點(diǎn)，如可說(shuō)： 我是一個(gè)完美主義者。工作做得不漂亮，我是不會(huì)撒手的。 7. What is your greatest strength? This is a real opportunity to toot your own horn. Do not brag or get too egotistical, but let the employer know that you believe in yourself and that you know your strengths. I feel that my strongest asset is my ability to stick to things to get them done. I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I finish a job and it turns out just as I d planned. I ve set some high goals for myself. For example, I want to graduate with highest distinction. And even though I had a slow start in my freshman year, I made up for it by doing an honor s thesis. 你最突出的優(yōu)點(diǎn)是什么？ 這是你 展示自己 的最佳機(jī)會(huì)，不要吹噓自己或過(guò)于自負(fù)，但要讓雇主知道你相信自己，你知道自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。 如可答： 我認(rèn)為我最大的優(yōu)點(diǎn)是能夠執(zhí)著地盡力把事情辦好。當(dāng)做完一件工作而其成果又正合我的預(yù)想時(shí)，我會(huì)有一種真正的成就感。我給自己定了一些高目標(biāo)。比如說(shuō)，6 / 30 我要成為出色的畢業(yè)生。盡管在大學(xué)一年級(jí)時(shí)我啟動(dòng)慢了些，但最終我以優(yōu)等論文完成了學(xué)業(yè)。 Following are some typical questions that an interviewer may ask during a job interview, and some typical responses: Can you tell me a little more about the Canto project that you did at ABC Incorporated?

I feel that my qualifications match your job description. I have a proven track record in resolving problems, multitasking, and dealing with customers, as you can see from my resume.

I can start any time after that. 下面是會(huì)見(jiàn)者在工作面試中可能會(huì)問(wèn)到的一些典型問(wèn)題和一些典型的回答： 你能更具體地告訴我一些你為 ABC 公司做的 Canto計(jì)劃的一些情況嗎？ 那是個(gè)非常激動(dòng)人心的工程。我們必須在第二季度使銷售額增長(zhǎng) 40%，雖然我們承受著很大的壓力，但結(jié)果比我們的預(yù)期計(jì)劃要好。 我為什么要雇用你呢？ 我覺(jué)得我的條件正適合你們的工作類型。從我的簡(jiǎn)歷中你可以看到我有一份證實(shí)我在解決問(wèn)題，進(jìn)行多重任務(wù)8 / 30 工作，和處理顧客問(wèn)題方面能力的證明資料。 你能為公司做出什么貢獻(xiàn)呢？ 除了我們剛才討論過(guò)的技能和經(jīng)歷之外，我是一個(gè)工作非常努力的人，我工作很認(rèn)真，而且很有辦法，我能與大家相處得非常好，并且我學(xué)得很快。 你能告訴我你的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)和弱項(xiàng)嗎？ 我忠誠(chéng)，誠(chéng)實(shí)，能有效地利用我的時(shí)間，我工作有頭有尾，并且我有很強(qiáng)的計(jì)算機(jī)運(yùn)用能力。事實(shí)上我沒(méi)有什么會(huì)影響到我的工作表現(xiàn)的重大弱點(diǎn)，我堅(jiān)信通過(guò)不斷地學(xué)習(xí)和在職培訓(xùn)我會(huì)表現(xiàn)得更好。有時(shí)我工作太瘋狂了，但我實(shí)在太熱愛(ài)我的工作了。 好極啦。你什么時(shí)候可以上班呢？ 我必須提前兩周提交辭職報(bào)告，在這兩周內(nèi)，我 要繼續(xù)工作并完成目前的任務(wù)。兩周后，我可以隨時(shí)上班。 Here are good answers to some of the tougher questions asked in job interviews.
