安娜指导如何准备英文面试 大家都知道,今年的英语感觉不怎么难,在座各位有没有试着对自己的英语估一估分数?应该不在少数,而且觉得自己考得不错的也不在少数,这种不错的感觉接下来给你带来一个很大的挑战,你这个不错是一个门票,带你进入下一个步骤,而这个步骤是相当残酷的。在备考MBA的过程中,所有的考生具有一个非常特殊的特点,我们工作了很长时间,而这个特点带给大家的一个直接效果是,英语对于你来说是很陌生的,但是这种陌生,如果放在试卷上答题的话,可能还好一点,但是如果放在交流这个场合下,很多同学就会觉得更加难。今天我们谈的就是怎样克服这个问题。短短的时间并不能把这个问题解决掉,刚才王令老师花了很多时间为大家解答这个问题,我觉得这个过程应该是很漫长的。 首先,我们需要英文面试技巧吗? 这个问题其实是需要想,我觉得这个问题的答案很清楚,当然需要,而原因就是,“You never get a second chance to make a first impression”大家知道,第一印象是非常重要的,就像我们和别人见面,第一面很重要,决定了你会给别人留下一个什么印象,而这个印象就是决定性的。但是,第一印象是很短时间就有的,这个很短时间的印象就会给你带来终身都遗憾的事情。那么,到底有多少时间来留这个第一印象呢?有人说一分钟,也就是60秒,总之是在很短的时间下,你需要给对方留下一个很好的印象。之所以有这样两句话作为铺垫,我们知道,技巧是需要的,训练肯定是需要的。 第二,假如现在我们根本不作训练,根本不考虑面试的技巧。大家想,在面试的时候,对方会和你有什么交流?很简单的,他会问你“你能否作一个自我介绍?”那么,我们可以看到有的同学真的是语无伦次的,而且开始发愣,他不是不了解自己,而且想过千百次为什么要考MBA,但是他当场发愣了。另外一类不是说不出来,而是说得缺乏逻辑性。英文面试需要花的时间是多少呢?需要你在多短的时间内给对方一个清楚、明白的说明?也就是一分半,这一分半钟能说出什么呢?很多人只能说出自己叫什么,年龄多大,为什么来参加这个面试。 还有一种就是枯燥乏味的。我们知道,每个人身上都有一定的幽默性,但是你如何说得与别人不同?就像我们说的在考试的时候要写得清楚一点,就是为改卷的老师考虑,他们的住宿条件又差,心情又很郁闷,如果再看到缭乱的笔记,他的心情会非常差。面试的时候也是一样,老师听了那么多介绍,觉得都差不多,他的心情会不太好,但如果你的表现非常幽默,会给他一个好印象。 如果我们从今天开始准备,需要准备什么? 其实大家面临的也就这两个问题,第一,可能有人觉得担心听不懂。这是很常见的,刚才王令老师说了,英语就是一种交流的工具。如果对方说的你听不懂,交流的目的就无法发现。第二种是你懂,但是说不出。 那么怎样解决呢?首先要解决的是,在这段时间里,你要听懂的是什么?大家可以看到,北大、清华或人大一些名校,他们的面试流程具体来说都各有不同,但事实上都会有一些环节,老师和你有一个交流,你和你的同伴有一个交流,就这两个环节,在这个过程中,第一你要听懂老师的话,如果听不懂,你一下子告诉他,我的英语很差,这不行。个别老师如果心情好,他会和你有一丁点寒暄,包括进门的时候说“How do you do?”这时候你怎么作反应?如果不回应那也不行,甚至有时候老师会在你面前有炫耀,他会问你一长串的问题,这时候我们也要想怎样让他实现虚荣心的满足,他满意了,你也就满意了。还有一种是和同伴的交流,特别是考清华的同学要注意,因为清华每年都有和同伴的交流,无论是小组讨论还是一对一讨论,这种形式对于你能否顺利通过不好说,如果你的同伴很优秀,那你就成了陪练,你站在他旁边,他侃侃而谈,而你发愣,那就麻烦了。还有,和同伴的交流也很重要,你和一个棒槌在一块儿,在交流的时候,他听不懂你说话,你听不懂他在说什么,他会很痛苦,这种事儿我们遇到过,他觉得自己这一生最悲凉的事情就是遇到他,他根本听不懂你说什么。这就是我们说为什么大家在考试前要尽量多地接触不同的同伴,这种接触表示你可以适应更多的语言形式,你不要期望你的同伴的发音很准备,甚至要做到面试官都听不懂你同伴的问题,你都听懂了,而且还和他无障碍交流,这样面试官都会从心里佩服你,觉得你这个人的英语实在很强。 为什么我们要搞面试呢?这个面试英语对大家将来有什么意义?这绝对不是一个光口,不仅仅是因为你上课的时候都有这样的教材,大家更希望的是在将来能够流利地和同伴交流。而这样的要求并不过分,这样的要求要实现必须是一点一滴积累的,而这一点并不要求我们去听最标准的英语,你将来见到的客户可能是操着各种各样口气、语气的英语,能听懂也是非常重要的能力。 有人问我,可以听什么?比如国际广播电台、商务谈判等等,这些不要听,因为跟你的考试没有关系,大家不要对自己提过高的要求,我们作笔试辅导的时候就说过这点,我们现在都提倡终身学习,你把这个要求要放在自己的一生中,现在我们的要求是要过英文面试,这些和你的英文面试没有关系,所以我们不要听。 我们到底要听什么呢?如果大家觉得自己的听力现在比较差,你可以从四六级的短对话开始听,这种资料非常多,市面上随便可以找到。为什么从这个开始听呢?因为很遗憾,这两年的考试都不考听力,我们给大家辅导的时候就问过,不考听力是好事还是坏事?就看你怎么看。从过笔试这关来说,它当然是一件好事,但是因为我们面临的笔试越来越强,现在来看就不是好事。所以对于个别人对自己的听力特别没信心的,要从四六级的短对话开始听。 其次要听的是日常生活中的各式各样的对话,这不仅是针对清华的同学,清华有这样的短对话考试,如果你有时间,把日常的各种各样的短对话多听听也没有坏处。 第三是面试中的一些文件,这些在市面上很好找。 最后是讨论问题,我指的并不是商务谈判,是对一些问题的普遍性讨论,日常性讨论。这些资料,我们都会分门别类地给大家准备,大家接触这些资料是很有用的,不仅对现在的考试有帮助,将来也会有帮助。 关于“说不出”的问题,还可以细分,有的同学是当你让他用英文讲的时候,他真的讲不出来。还有的人是有话讲,但是讲不出来。第三、是如何使自己说的话有效,这要保证两点:一,说得正确,为什么我们要纠正大家的发音和语法呢?就是要使你说出的话正确。其次是要清晰,我们不要求在座各位说出的英语都非常优美,这是需要长时间做到的,但是我们必须要求大家说出的英语是正确的。比如一个很简单的词,大家在学习的时候都会遇到,“大学”,这个词的发音很简单,我不强调你一定要发出“v”的音,我们至少要求你的重音要对,很多同学会把强调音节放在“c”的音上。像这样的读音错误是非常明显的,而且会给你带来非常不好的影响。 如果你发现自己没有话说,接下来这段时间你应该做如下几件事情:第一,你要报考什么样的学校,就应该了解这个学校的相关内容,包括它MBA项目的内容。这是非常关键的,因为你了解了以后,这些就可以作为背景信息,当你需要的时候就可以说出来。第二,我们看了书中的面试流程介绍以后,很简单的一点,就是要考察你的英语表达能力。有的同学说,我报考的学校不要求提供英文简历,不管要求不要求,你一定要准备,因为它可以清晰地浓缩你的经验历史。 第三是预测可能会问到什么问题。 重要的是“Practice again and again until it appears natural”。有同学曾经提出过这样的问题,比如说我参加过这样的培训班训练,结果有人传考场上如果有发现参加过辅导班的同学就会把他Pass掉?要达到这个境界才可以,不是说上这样的培训是错误的,而是说你不够 努力,怎样看他看不出来你上过这样的培训班,这是需要训练的。 我们的辅导班还会告诉大家如何去装扮自己。在面试当天你还要注意很多细节的事情,我们会一项一项地给大家列出来。 如果你觉得还不着急,那么,当你还剩半个月的时间还需要做什么?你需要把我说的以上事情在半个月内做完,那时候自然会发现自己跟不上,那时候自己的压力会很大的,有些人就开始失眠了,会给大家造成很大的伤害,我们不希望把大家逼到那个份儿上,大家好不容易通过了笔试,现在终于站到这个舞台上,我们希望大家很好地充分利用自己的时间,把自己最闪亮的一面展示给考官。 “给问懵了!”“无法准备!”“考砸了!”还记得去年走出香港大学面试考场的学生们纷纷抱怨。英文对话加上袭击式的提问令广大本土考生对香港高校面试难以适应。2006年,香港高校再度来京面试,本报记者专访了香港科技大学国际与中国内地学生及学术事务处处长朱力径老师,朱老师向内地考生提出一些建议。 英语面试考综合 朱老师首先申明的是,英语面试不是英语口试。不少考生和家长有一种错觉,认为香港的英语面试就是考查学生的英语交流能力,谁的英语口语好就能得高分。其实不然,朱老师说英语面试的目标是以英语为工具,考官观察考生心理素质、表达能力、语言沟通能力,以及考生对事务的兴趣、看法、见解。老师自然不会提问数学、语文、英语问题,而是就一些普遍问题征求考生观点。比如,商学院的老师可能问考生对美国攻打伊拉克的看法,台湾对陈水扁的罢免案的看法。这种问题的答案没有对与错。如果考生回答不知道则表明他对这些事情没注意没兴趣;如果他知道但认为无话可说,则表明他对此无认识,没有思考。 集体面试分小组 香港高校几乎不采取一对一面试方式,而是经常采取集体面试的形式。朱老师介绍,香港科技大学这次在北京的面试将是一场小组讨论,每组有2—3位老师、4—5位考生组成。一开始,会有一个简短的自我介绍,更主要的是针对老师提出的问题大家共同发表观点,一组面试时间会持续30—40分钟。考生发言有可能与老师观点相左,但只要考生回答让人觉得有道理,推论很有说服力,老师也会给他好分数。 不用准备不要背 由于不知道老师会就什么问题提问,因此考生无需准备也没法准备。在这种面试中,寄希望于大段大段的背诵是大错特错的。因为老师不看考生发音如何标准,口语多么地道。如果发现考生所说是他事先准备好的,即使很流利很标准,老师也不会给他高分。有的考生英语不算很棒,但是观点新颖,言之有物,也可能被录取。每年都有考生觉得自己考“砸了”,英语比别人逊色很多,但是最后被录取,说明英语面试不是考查英语的对话。 了解专业有见解 朱老师讲了近年一个考生的故事,某地区考生高考分数很高,英语不错,面试表现也颇得考官赞赏,但是当考官问他为什么报这个专业时,他竟然说:“我不知道,是我妈妈帮我报的名。”令考官大为恼火,虽然给他一个不错的分数,但考官当场用英语狠狠地训斥了他。面试中,考官一定会问考生对报考的学校、院系、主修专业的认识以及原因。争取发现考生做选择是不是随波逐流,人云亦云,而对专业选择有见解的考生定会获得考官垂青。 团队意识要强化 在面试中,重要的是考生要听清楚老师说什么,根据提问即兴发挥。往往会有考生没注意考官的话,加上考试一激动,说半天却跑题了。朱老师说,如果没听清,就跟考官说:“我没听懂,请您再讲一遍!” 集体面试考生的团队意识也表现得一览无余。虽说是考大学的头等大事,但是也要以平常心来看待,展现自己优势时也要懂得尊重其他考生,给别人发挥的机会与空间。一个人说个没完,总抢话头的考生会显得不懂得尊重人。 问题一:Could you please describe yourself?(能否请你形容一下自己?) 比方说,今天你打算去应征行销的职务,你就可以说︰ 问题二:Why do you think we should employ you?(你认为我们为何要雇用你?) 问题三:What classes did you like best back in school?(在学校你最喜欢哪门课?) 问题四:What do you think are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?

expertise can be fully put to use. It seems clear to me that your company can challenge my abilities
and provide a good opportunity for professional development. 问题七:How much do you know about our company?(你对本公司了解多少?) 如果你想应征计算机零件物流方面的工作,你可以回答: I believe that my management experience will be an asset to your

Can I add something? Excuse me for interrupting, but… ? 如何提出问题,获得更多的信息及回答技巧 (1)如何提出问题 I was wondering if you could help me.

And since MBA projects have been far more developed in US and European countries than in China, an English proficiency will definitely be of a great help to the understanding and learning of advanced theories and practices in business administration. Q: Do you know something about the development of China’s MBA projects? Can you give any suggestions on the room for improvement of China’s MBA projects? A: China began to participate in MBA programs since the early 1980s’ mainly through cooperation with US and European business schools. And from 1990s’, China began to establish the degree of MBA projects. Suggestions for improvement: ? Localization of MBA projects, especially focus on the establishment of our own case bank. ? Market-orientation. China is in great need of executives who are technically sound in the fields of IT, finance, and accounting and who have a thorough command of management theories and good communication skills and strategic viewpoints. ? More attention should be drawn to the education of CTOs and CFOs besides the traditional education of CEOs. ? In China, apart from CTOs, we are in great need for CFOs, those who knows the operation of capital markets as well as the general management knowledge because the biggest challenges for enterprises in China are how to finance a company and how to handle the risky capital markets. Q: What is CFO and the related responsibilities? A: ? CFO is the abbreviated form of Chief Financial Officer, who is the most important and valuable position of management in modern enterprises besides CEO. ? Responsibilities for CFO: handle various financial relations especially relations with the investors (investment financing), with governments (taxation, and bond supervision), and strategic business planning, and human resources management. A CFO will direct the department of planning, department of finance, department of operational management, department of ERP and department of H.R. In other words, CFO is responsible for all the departments except departments of production and sales. We should lay more emphasis on the education and training of CFO. ? Relationship between CEO and CFO CEO is the one who make decisions on the long-term objectives or missions for a company, while CFO is the one who make those ambitions and long-term planning into concrete, operable strategies especially the financial strategies. And not only that, CFO is the person who actually assess the fulfillment of the objectives. So the harmonious cooperation between CEO and CFO in a company is critical. 一些背景资料: Q: What is the difference between MBA program at home and abroad? A: China’s MBA projects are lagging behind their counterparts at abroad in the following respects: ? Teachers and teaching facilities At abroad: Doctoral degree is a must for teachers in universities, and for those who teach in business schools. They have to have obtained professional education in business and management, some with educational background in economics and other pertinent sciences. And most of them have direct or indirect experience of business administration and they keep a close contact with enterprises through consulting services or research projects. So they can combine those management theories with enterprise practices which is quite advantageous to the MBA education. At home: We have teachers without doctoral degrees at our business schools, teachers without professional business or management background, and teachers lacking practical understanding of how an enterprise is actually operated. ? Source of students At abroad: basically, all students applying for MBA education come from enterprises and they intend to continue their career in enterprises when they finished their MBA study. They are people with highest potentials to become excellent businessmen or businesswomen. At home: we have a more complex source of students. A large part of enrolled students are not from enterprises which means they have no former business experience. Although some are excellent people they simply need longer period to become entrepreneurs. Some choose to enter governments and intuitions after their MBA education which goes against the overall objectives of MBA programs. ? System of managing MBA education At abroad: business schools have self-decision-making for their MBA projects, such as the scale of recruitment, tuitions and way of hiring teachers. The high autonomy enables them to develop fast and obtain special features of their own. At home: Universities have little independence and it’s even worse when it comes to business schools. All the above-mentioned decisions are made under a planning system which consequently affect the quality of MBA programs. ? Teaching methods At abroad: besides the traditional ways of teaching, that is lecture and case study, there are many kinds of different ways of education for example, field projects, group projects decision by computer simulation, guest speech , project study, consulting reports , role plays, discussions and seminars, action learning, debates, internships, study trips, student presentation, problem solving and experiential exercises. At home : our teaching methods are rather limited. 尽管有人认为面试时做自我介绍不流行了,但是准备一份正常语速下3分钟长度的英文自我简介是必要的。首先,自我简介是自我介绍的总纲,是保证你在面对任何问题时都能够应对自如的前提;其次,也是有备无患。 如果试图在短短几分钟内吸引面试官的注意力,你的简介当然要是浓缩的精品。所以,前奏一般用一句话陈述自己的基本特征即可。然后迅速进入正题,或选择自己最引以为傲的经历叙述,或介绍自己的长处。面试官一般会承接你的自我介绍发问,所以在做自我介绍时最好不要提特别难于讲清楚的事情和比较抽象的概念,因为你的英文水平只够应付普通会话,更何况身处高度紧张的面试氛围中,哪里还能够应对自如。简介不需要面面俱到,因为在你曾经提交的资料中,已有详细的介绍,所以力求在面试中突出重点。 回答语速切莫过快 很多应聘者认为只要在外国面试官前把英文说“溜”即可,其他的无所谓,于是语速狂飙。我们经常看到这种情形,在你口吐莲花之后,满场静寂,老外目瞪口呆,因为他们没有听懂你赶火车似的中式英文。其实,英文面试的第一目的是让国外主管了解你,甚至对你感兴趣,最重要的是展示你的综合素质,绝非单单的语言能力,所以应该首先力求表达清晰。另外语速过快容易给人不自信、不稳重的错觉。剑桥大学的一项调查显示,语速快一般体现具备两种不同特质的人,一种是思维和语言反应能力强且协调的人,一种是处事急躁的人,万一人家把你理解为第二种怎么办? 自由讨论应当直白 用简单直白的语言表现最具魅力的自我,才是英文面试的至高境界。习惯于堆砌华丽词藻的很多人恨不得在面试中用大气磅礴的英文演讲征服面试官,其实又犯了舍本逐末的错误。不要不屑于用therebe句型,不要不屑于用第一人称,不要想着那些一辈子也用不上几次的虚拟语气、倒装句和长词冗句,如果你能保证说英文如行云流水那么你尽情用,但万一紧张得忘了词怎么办?万一面试官和你展开辩论怎么办?用平实的语言直切正题是最讨巧的方式。

This is a popular question that western employers like to ask to make candidates nervous! In fact, they ask this to know how you respond to a difficult question. You shouldn't answer by telling your greatest weakness since you might not get the job! Instead, you can tell them something that isn't directly related to the job position. 你最大的缺点是什么?西方老板特别爱问这个问题,让面试者感到很紧张。事实上,他问这个问题是看你对棘手问题的反应。你没必要如实回答你的弱点,因为那有可能让你得不到这份工作。相反,你可以告诉他们一些与工作不直接相关的事情。 Third One: Why do you feel you are qualified for this job?

Salary is how much money you earn, usually per year. When asked this, it's best to answer with a salary range or approximation and not an exact figure.

When answering this it's best not to say you can start right away. This might make you seem very desperate for a job. A safe answer would be "I can start at the beginning of next month." 如果雇佣的话,你什么时候开始工作?回答这个问题时。一定要注意!不要说我马上可以工作。那会让对方认为你非常迫切地需要这份工作。一个非常保险的回答可以是“I can start at the beginning of next month.”(我下月初可以开始上班。) Sixth One: What kind of work does the posi-tion involve? You can ask this to clarify exactly what kind of work you'll be doing. 这个职位包括哪些工作?通过问这句话,你可以清楚地了解到你的工作内容。

*不嚼口香糖、不抽烟,尤其现在提倡禁烟,更不要在面谈现场抽烟。与人谈话 就像面试的所有问题一样,对该问题也应回答面试官想知道的内容。自我介绍应包括4项内容。也就是成长背景、学历、经历以及现在状况。 面试官想了解的是候选人的成长背景(在哪里、在何种环境(包括家庭环境)中长大)、学历(都学到了什么)、经历(在哪里、曾做过什么)以及现在状况(现在是否正在工作、在做什么)。 因此,对上述4项的说明应简洁。另外,具体部分在面试官要求时,认为有必要进行进一步说明的时侯说明即可。 在自我介绍上应注意的是,不要着重于上述4项的某一项或过多地占用时间。如果面对外国人进行面试,就应该特别注意在成长背景中不要过于具体地说明家族关系。 北京新东方学校面试口语课老师冯颙,给参加英语面试的应聘者提出四个建议。 建议一:精心设计一个自然的开场白。例如: C(考官):May I come in?(我能进来吗?) I(应聘者):Yes, please. Oh, you are Jin Li, aren’t you?(请进。哦,你是李劲吧?) C:Yes, I am. (对,我是。) I:Please sit here, on the sofa. ( 请坐。) C:Thank you. (谢谢。) 采用Excuse me. Is this personnel department?(请问,这里是人力资源部吗?)或Excuse me for interrupting you. I'm here for an interview as requested.(不好意思打搅了,我是依约来应聘的。)类似问法都比较合适。 在确定了面试场所和面试官之后,简洁地用Good morning/afternoon向面试官打招呼,也能令在场的人提升对你的印象。 建议二:不要害怕外表冷冰冰的考官 一些用人单位与面试者的最初交流是比较冷冰冰的。例如: I:Your number and name, please.(请告知你的号码和名字。) C:My number is sixteen and my name is Zhixin Zhang.(我是16号,我叫张志新。) 这时,面试者不要觉得有压力,面试官的态度冷漠并不是针对你个人,你只需要照实简洁地回答即可。 在某些情况下,面试官会问一些看起来比较普通和随意的问题,但实际上是暗藏深意的,例如: How did you come? A very heavy traffic?(你怎么来的?路上很堵吧?) 你的回答可以是这样:Yes, it was heavy but since I came here yesterday as a rehearsal, I figured out a direct bus line from my school to your company, and of course,I left my school very early so it doesn’t matter to me. (是的,很堵。但我昨天已经预先来过一次并且找到了一条从我们学校直达贵公司的公交路线,并且在今天提早从学校出发。因此,路上的拥堵并没有影响到我。)这样的回答就点出了你的计划性以及细心程度。 建议三:抓住考官问题的关键点回答 如果应聘者突然听不懂面试官的话,或者问题太复杂,该如何回答?下面是一名工商大学的学生参加一知名化妆品公司英文面试中的一段: I:You are talking shop. How will you carry out marketing campaign if we hire you?(你很内行。如果我们雇用你的话,你打算如何开始你的市场工作?) C:Sorry, sir. I beg your pardon.(对不起,能重复一下吗?) I:I mean that how will you design your work if we hire you?(我的意思是如果我们决定录用你,你打算如何开展市场工作?) 培训辅导 培训动态 精品课程 名校展台 教育资讯 天极教育 主题社区 微软认证 | 思科认证 | 软考认证 | 等级考试 | Oracle认证 | Java认证| 职场动态 | 招聘信息| 求职信息 C:Thank you, sir. I’ll organize trade fair and symposium,prepare all marketing materials, and arrange appointments for our company with its business partners.(谢谢。我将组织贸易展销会和研讨会,预备所有营销材料,为公司及其商业伙伴安排见面会。) I:Do you know anything about this company?(你对本公司的情况了解吗?) C:Yes, a little. As you ××mentioned just now, yours is an America-invested company. As far as I know, ××Company is a world-famous company which produces cosmetics and skincare products. Your cosmetics and skincare products are very popular with women in all parts of the world.(是的,了解一点点。正如你刚才所提到的那样,贵公司是一家美资公司。据我所知,贵公司是一家世界闻名生产美容护肤品的公司。你们的美容护肤品深受世界各地妇女的欢迎。) 在希望对方重复问题时,除了I beg your pardon.还可以用 Would you please rephrase your sentence?的表达方式。 建议四:巧用过渡语,表明自己用心听问题 如果面试者在面试时可以用一些类似:As you mentioned(正如您所说的)或者As far as I know(据我所知),表示你一直在认真听对方的谈话。此外,你还可以选择As it is shown in my resume(正如我的简历所提到的) 或As my previous experience shows(如我之前的工作经验所示)之类的表达法。 另外,在面试之前,面试者对应聘公司应有所了解。比如了解公司的规模、业务、未来发展,这些往往被中国学生忽略了,对公司文化理解是否深刻,是你超出其他应聘者的一个亮点。但如果实在不了解,就应根据所知诚实回答。 A: Can I help you? 有什么事吗? Words & Expressions: interview: 面试 Background: 面试是一种经过精心设计,以交谈和观察为主要手段,以了解被试者素质及有关信息为目的的一种测评方式。 面试就是你与面试官面对面的一种交流,更是你施展才能与特点的好时机,即要让他们了解你,还要让他们相信你才是最理想的人选。与此同时,也是你认识,揣测与了解你面前的主考官的时候,而他很有可能就是你即将的上司或老板。 面试的总目标就是给对方一个好印象,那么你就要预先作好充分准备,通过各种方法去了解所面试公司单位的一些基本情况,猜测可能会被问到的问题,这样回答时思路就会比较清晰,有针对性。 上一课我们讲了面试英语中首先要进行的开场白(点击此处进入课堂学习),那么接下来面试官就要听听你的自我介绍了。我们先来看一下下面的对话: A:Good morning. I'm Lydia Shen, the manager of the company. What's
your name please? A:早上好。我是Lydia Shen,这个公司的经理。你叫什么名字。 该介绍自己了,那么在面试中怎么做自我介绍呢?先来看一些背景知识: Background: 面试时需要做自我介绍,这个时候不要细致地谈自己的生活情况或者工作经验,而是要想方设法地让面试官对你有所了解,告诉他一些事情,这些事情应该使你在招聘过程中具有优势。或许你想选取一些有人情味的故事讲给他听,但这么做,你要有把握与面试官的想法吻合。或者可以概述一下最近你干的工作和你正在申请的工作有什么联系,有怎样的帮助,以及你为什么要到这家公司工作等等。特别值得提的是,要举例子,这样你的回答才更具真实性,更容易被接受,才能给对方留下深刻的印象。 或者当面试官让你做自我介绍的时候,你可以主动问一下对方想知道自己哪方面的情况,这样也便于你的回答更加有针对性。但是这种做法的前提是你对面前的这个面试官有一定的把握,确信这样追问不会引起对方的反感才行。 有了这些背景知识,我们再掌握一些基本的单词和常用的句型来帮助我们理解对方的话和组织语言表达清楚自己的意思就足够了: Words & Expressions: part-time job: 兼职工作 前两课我们讲了面试英语中首先要进行的开场白(点击此处进入课堂学习),和如何进行自我介绍(点击此处进入课堂学习)。通常自我介绍都要介绍自己的个人情况,家庭情况,工作经验,个人能力等等,今天我们就来讲讲如何介绍自己的个人和家庭情况。先来看一些简单的对话: I: Where is your birthplace? C: I was born in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. I: Where is your native place? C: My native place is Tianjin. I: Are you a resident of Beijing now? C: Yes. I have been living in Beijing since my childhood. I: Where is your domicile place? C: My domicile place is Taiyuan. I: What is your nationality? C: I'm Chinese. I: What is your nation? C: My nation is the Han. I: How large is your family? C: There are four of us including my parents, a younger sister and me. I: Do you spend much time talking with your family? C: Yes. It's said there's a generation gap in the world today, but I don't think this is the case at our house. We all work at taking time to talk with each other. Especially at mealtime, we all eat and talk together. Meals are very lively at our house. I: Your application form said that you have a younger sister. How do you get along with each other? C: We get along well with each other. She is 6 years younger than me, and she is right now studying for college entrance exams. She asks me a lot for advice on how to study and things like that. Besides, we do many things together, such as going swimming, mountain climbing and soon. Words & Expressions: 在对话里出现了以下单词: 除此之外,还有很多词,比如: 掌握这些词以后,我们来看一些相关的背景知识: Background: 当你参加面试时,由于条件所限,主考管们不可能详细地把你介绍给与会者,其他人未必都听清主考管的介绍。这时,求职者为了展示自我,当主考管们介绍你的语音刚落,你可立即接过话头,进行干脆而风趣的补充。如果有人想进一步了解你,要抓住时机,做进一步的介绍。 不可否认,经别人介绍或请招聘单位但自荐材料也可使对方了解自己,但毛遂自荐地进行自我介绍,把立体的你展现于人前,可以使招聘者对你产生更直接、更可信的效果,因而更受用人单位的欢迎。 们已经向大家介绍过面试时如何进行开场白,自我介绍和如何介绍个人情况和家庭了。今天我们开始讲解面试最重要的几个部分:介绍自己的教育情况,工作经验和获得的成就等等。 每个企业和单位都比较看中应聘者的学历,高学历在一定程度上也代表着高能力和高素质。即使你的学历很高,在表达上也应该注意一些技巧,那么学历不是很高的求职者就更要注意如何介绍自己的教育背景了。 先来看一段对话: A:Can I help you? B:Yes. I've come to apply for the position as an office secretary. A:I'm Bridge Zhong, the clerk of Human Resources Department. What's your name, please? B:My name is Lisa Liang. How do you do, Mr. Zhong? A:Can you talk about your education background? B:I graduated from Beijing the No. 4 Middle School in 1996, then I entered China University of Political Science and Law and I graduated in 2000. I gained a B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) degree. A:What department did you study in? B:I was in Department of Political Science. A:And what subjects were you doing? B:Er, we studied the modern Chinese political thoughts, the History of Western Political Thoughts, Comparative political systems, and so on. A:How about your scores at college? B:Well, I got excellent scores on each of them. A:Have you got any honors or rewards? And what is it? B:I got the university scholarship in 1998-1999. 对话看完了,在对话中出现了求职者应聘的职位和面试官的头衔,还有求职者所在的学校,院系,学位,所学课程等词语,相信大家对自己的这些相关知识都很清楚,所以在此就不再多说。我们来看一些有用的单词和词组吧: Words & Expression: 本文出现的词: 其他相关学科词汇(点击此处进入论坛查看) 再来看一下关于教育背景,学历的相关注意事项吧: Backgound: 学历主要指高中和高中以上的学历。内容包括学校名称、学习时间、所学专业、所获学位等,必要时也可列举有关课程和考试成绩。有博士和硕士学位的人,可以省去高中学历。 一个人学历可以给雇主提供了解应聘者的智力、思考力、判断力和个性的根据。 依序面试一般分为初试、复试和综合评定三步。初步的目的在于从众多的求职者中筛选出较好的人选。一般由人事部门主持。主要考查求职者的仪表风度、工作态度、进取心、责任感和机敏性,将明显不合格的人予以淘汰。初试合格者则进入复试,复试一般由用人部门主管主持,多以考查专业知识和能力为主,衡量求职者是否适合岗位工作。 如果你找到了最理想的工作,但是有一件事还横在当中:面试。“万一我说错了什么怎么办?”你在想。别担心了!好消息是许多的雇主都在他们的面试中问同样的基本的问题。因此只要准备一下,你就可以避免胡言乱语而失去你梦想工作的可能性了。 What are your strengths? Why are you interested in working for our company? Why did you leave your last job? Do you have any questions for me? 面试是目前绝大部分公司招聘人才的一种方式,它主要分为两种不同的形式:标准化面试和非标准化面试。所谓标准化面试就是在面试之前,必须安排好面试的内容。面试的过程结构严密,主次分明,并且有一套固定的谈话模式。非标准化面试就是所提出的问题,以及面试时所采用的方式方法,都是由主试人自由决定的。面试的过程在结构上比较松散,层次交错,气氛活跃,没有固定的模式,整个谈话富有弹性,所提出的问题具有很大的偶然性,涉及的范围比较广。这种面试,双方不仅交换了意见,也交流了感情。 这两种方式就目前的现状来看,后者见的比较多。而前者一般在国有企业或大企业中比较常见。但是不论哪种方式的面试,目的都是一样的:检验应聘者是否符合职位的要求。而作为应聘者目的也只有一个,那就是展示自己的才华,能力,向主试者证明你是合适人选。 用我们的母语中文来面试大家都不会有太多的担心,但是现在,随着我国加入WTO的步伐,以及社会的发展和进步,我们对外语的要求越来越高,尤其是对作为国际官方语言的英语,通常在面试中都会有英语面试这一关。 针对目前应付英语面试的需求,我们的编辑Betty特别制作了一套面试英语的学习系列,共分为八讲,分别向大家介绍在英语面试的时候如何做开场白,如何自我介绍,在面试的过程中如何介绍自己的个人和家庭情况,教育背景,工作经历,成就,语言能力,个人能力和性格、兴趣爱好等等。 具体内容请点击以下链接查看:
一、面试前要做好充分的准备。 1. 广泛收集有关面试公司的一切资料,比如公司性质、业务情况、内部组织、负责人姓名、性别、年龄、嗜好等等。 2. 预测可能被问到的问题,做到心中有数。 3. 结合自身的条件,选择适合的职业。 4. 根据应试的行业工作性质,换上整洁、大方又能体现个性的着装。 二、面试时应注意以下几点: 1. 千万不要迟到,最好提前10-20分钟,留出充裕的时间调整自己。 2. 注意礼貌,言谈举止应自然,说话应坦城自信。 3. 注意保持自己的坐姿端正,避免不雅的坐态。 4. 态度积极,既要表示出对该公司的兴趣,也要表示出对本岗位的热情。 5. 讲话时应发音清晰,音量适中,同时还应面带微笑,保持轻松愉快的心情,眼睛应自然地直视对方。 6. 面试时应言简意赅,有条理、避免重复,所谈内容应尽量同自己所申请的职务联系起来,切忌空谈。 7. 对方讲话时要专心聆听,表示兴趣,切忌中途打断。 8. 不要批评以前的雇主,以免给人留下爱挑剔、不易共处的印象。 通常我们在写完简历之后都会加注一些自己的性格和兴趣爱好之类的内容,而这些内容也是进行面试时经常会提到的话题,尤其是在英语面试的时候,面试方通常会问:How do you spend your spare time? 性格和兴趣能在面试的时候给你的面试官留下好的印象,为什么不努力来说好呢?今天我们就一起来学习面试英语的最后一讲:如何表达自己的性格和兴趣爱好。下面先来看一段对话吧: A:Do you have any hobbies? What is it or what are they? B:I am interested in watching TV or other relaxing games. A:How do you spend your spare time? B:I usually read or so some sports. A:What kind of book are you interested in? B:My favorite books are those about detectives. A:Well, those books are really good. I like them too. Do you think you are introverted or extroverted? B:In fact, I wouldn't call myself extroverted. Sometime I enjoy being by myself very much. But other times, I like sharing activities with others too, especially during these last few years. A:What kind of sports do you like? B:I like almost all sports, and I enjoy both playing and watching. I especially like tennis and mountain climbing. A:What kind of personality do you think you have? B:Well, I approach things very enthusiastically, I think, and I don't like to leave anything half-done. It makes me nervous- I can't concentrate on anything else until the first thing is finished. …… 介绍自己的性格和兴趣爱好肯定少不了这方面的词汇和词组,对话中也出现了不少,现在我们来学习一些相关的单词和词组吧: Words & Expression: Hobby: 爱好,尤其指业余爱好 Spare time: 空闲时间,业余时间 Be good at: 擅长 Favorite: 最喜欢的,特别喜欢的,中意的 Detective: 侦探,侦探的;在对话中指侦探小说 Performance: 表演,演出 Ballet: 芭蕾舞 Introverted: 内向的,含蓄的,闭关自守的 Extroverted: 外向的,喜社交的 Personality / character / disposition / temperament: 个性,性格 Characteristic: 独特的,特有的,表示特性的 Enthusiastically: 热心地,狂热地 还有很多词就要靠大家自己去掌握了。接着我们来说明一下在简历中或者面试时介绍自己的性格和兴趣爱好的好处: Background: 个人的兴趣爱好其实主要体现在业余活动上,对于刚入社会的学生来说,业余活动主要就是课外活动。 课外活动包括社会活动和业余爱好。 丰富多彩的课外活动表示你希望丰富自己的社会经验,发挥多方面的才能。通过你所参加的课外活动,可以看出你的交际能力、价格修养、成熟程度和健康状况。比如说你当学生会主席的经历能够表明你人缘好、善处人际关系、有领导才能等。 因此,如果你曾参加什么课外活动,就如实写出来。这些活动可以帮助雇主了解你,成为有利的条件。课外活动对于刚刚走出校门的朋友来说,是找工作时的一个相当重要的条件。 面试时我们最想向面试官展现的就是我们的能力了,那么一个人的能力到底是什么呢?通常我们理解为工作能力,技术能力等等,其实不仅仅是这些。我们先来看看关于个人能力的背景知识: Background: 个人能力集中表现在社会荣誉、工作业绩、科研成果、著作等,这里最主要的是著作和工作成果。 著作包括所有出版过的书,发表过的论文。这一项对科研、学术工作者尤为重要。如果内容与所申请的职位密切相关,作者不仅应列入其中,而且可扼要介绍作品内容、社会影响和效果。面试时,应带上作品的原件或复印件。 了解到到底什么是个人能力以后,我们再来看一段对话: A:Would you talk about your merits? B:Yes, sir. When I was the sales manager of Beijing Friendship Store, I succeeded in raising yearly sales volume by 25% at profit margins of from 50% to 80%. A:Have you received any honors or rewards? B:Yes. I got the title of “Advanced Worker” in 1992 and 1994. A:Do you have any publications? B:Yes. My book entitled A Preliminary Survey of Controlling Inflation was published by China Finance Publishing House in 1993. 对话中出现了一些词组用法和单词: Words & Expressions: Beijing Friendship Store: 北京友谊商店 Succeed in: 成功 sales volume:销售量 Advanced Worker:先进工作者 A Preliminary Survey of Controlling Inflation:抑制通货膨胀初探 China Finance Publishing House:中国金融出版社 如今各个用人单位的语言能力,尤其是外语能力,能懂得一门外语确实在应聘时有一些优势。今天这一讲我们就来讲讲在面试时如何表达自己的语言能力。看下面这段对话: A:You will mainly use English in this job. Do you think you can make yourself understood in English with ease? B:Yes, I think I speak English quite fluently. I've often explained historical places in Xi'an to foreign tourists in English. They say my English is quite good. A:How long have you been learning English? B:Oh, more than ten years. I started learning English when I was still in a primary school from a foreign teacher. A:Well, perhaps that's the reason why you are so fluent in it. B:Thank you. 对话中出现几个单词值得大家注意: Ease: 安逸,安心。但是在这段对话中是指轻松,灵活地说英语。 Fluently: 流利地,通畅地 还有很多其他相关的单词和词组: Words & Expression: American: 美国人,美国的 French: 法国人,法语,法国的 German: 德国人,德语,德国的 Japanese: 日本的,日语,日本人 Spanish: 西班牙人,西班牙语,西班牙的 …… 目前用人单位普遍对英语水平要求较高,还有一些需要小语种人才,而这个要求更多地是使用语言交流沟通的能力,它当然跟聊天不一样,如果你能外国朋友很好地聊天,并不代表你能适应这份工作,来看一些背景知识: Background: 口语和聊天相比,有具有以下几个明显的特点:一是主题的明确性。面试时的口语有一个明确的中心,应试者必须按照招聘单位指定的中心内容进行论述的交谈。不像日常聊天那样经常转换话题,话题具有不可预测性,如果应聘时口语离开中心漫无边际地乱扯,或者答非所问,即使讲的头头是道,也只能以失败而告终。二是表达的逻辑性。日常的聊天往往是句式松懈、重复累赘、条理不清、颠三倒四,而求职面试的口语则必须讲究表达的逻辑性,要求概念清晰、语意连贯、层次分明、推理严密、言之有据。三是词语的文雅性。日常聊天经常使用俚语、谚语、歇后语等,具有俚俗性、俏皮性特点。而求职面试时使用的口语必须庄重、文雅、充分体现出求职者高雅的气质和高尚的风貌。四是较强的表演性。日常聊天时的口语对语音、语调的要求并不高,语言中的弱化、模糊和脱离现象经常出现。而求职面试时的口语既要求语言规范、清晰,又要求其语调富于变化,也就是说,在口语的表达上要求有较强的表现力,富有表演性。 在面试的时候,工作经验和自己的成就是面试的重点内容,面试官最关注的也是这些。对于工作经验和成就不能瞎遍乱造,但是在描述的时候可以有一些技巧,让我们先看一下便于学习的背景知识: Background: 工作经历通常包括工作期限、单位、职务等。另外还应具体说明以前所从事工作的性质、职责范围以及所取得的成就,与业务有关的进修培训也可以列出来。描述工作经历最能体现的是人的能力、经验和特点。所以,除非1. 你以前的工作经历与现在申请的职务无关联,2. 你的学历更吸引人,否则工作经历一项应放在简历的最前面。在说明自己的工作经验的时候由近及远。从目前的工作开始说起,然后往前推。最近的工作最重要,应当说明的最为详细,而且强调你认为最重要的内容。 成就是指你在工作的过程中获得的一些奖项或者技能,也就是说在工作的过程中得到了什么。其实,许多有相同经历的人会得到不同的收获。而考官最感兴趣的是你通过工作所掌握的技巧。因为这种技巧只有干过的人才会知道。而这些技巧会对将来的工作有利。 在了解了这些背景知识以后我们学习起来也比较目的性了,来看对话吧: A:Have you worked as a secretary? B:Yes, I have worked as a secretary in an investment company? A:What are you doing now? B:I'm learning English and I hope I can get more chances. A:Could you tell me what's your last job? B:Of course, I worked at an advertisement Co. Ltd. And I do sales work. A:Would you mind telling me the name of the company? B:OK, the name is Xinyue Internet Co. Ltd. A:Have you got any achievement or received any honor in the company? B:Yes, I was chosen as one of "employees of the month" last year. And as a sales manager I succeeded in raising yearly sales volume by 25%. A:Well, you've done a good work. …… 这样的对话涉及到的是应聘者的职位,成就等相关的词汇,当然根据工作的不同,这些词也会有所不同,很多都是应聘者自身的专业词汇,相信不会太难。在此我们也再列举一些相关的: Words & Expression: Approach / means / method / way: 方法;手段;办法;方式 Corporation: 法人团体;(美)股份有限公司 Firm: 公司;商行;商号 Client: (律师、会计师、社会工作者、建筑师等的)委托人;当事人;客户;(商店的)顾客 Chore: 日常的零星事物;琐事;讨厌或累人的工作 Cash-in-hand: 手中现金 Raise their purchasing power: 提高了购买力 来源:《职场指南》 1.

You''ll find that they are minor when discussed along with all the positive things you have to offer. 11. Where do you want to be five years from now? Saying that you''d like to be president is unrealistic, yet few
employers want people who are content to sit still. You might say,
"in five year 12. What are your salary expectations? If you are asked this at the outset, it''s best to say, "Why
don''t we discuss salary after you decide whether I''m right for
the job? "But if t 13. What would you do if....? This question is designed to test your reposes. For example: "What

Say you''ll be happy to talk about yourself, and ask what the interviewer wants to know. If this point is clarified, respond. If not, tell why you feel your skills will contribute to the job and the organization. This question gives you a great opportunity to sell yourself. 16.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION 简介 开场白(prolusion)有可能决定整个面试的基调。所谓“前三分钟定终身”,即你给面试考官的第一印象,从言谈举止到穿着打扮将直接影响到你被录取的机会。要彬彬有礼,但不要显得过分殷勤;要大方得体,不要拘谨或过分谦让。 还有,应试者需要注意的是,虽然对方为了缓和紧张气氛会问几个轻松的问题,但回答问题时一定要有礼貌,答案要抓住重点,和面试无关的话不要说,尽量考虑对方最想知道什么。 BASIC EXPRESSIONS 基本句型表达 1) May I come in? 我可以进来吗? 2) How are you doing, Mrs. Smith? 你好,史密斯女士。 3) Excuse me.

关于待遇问题,合理地进行“自我报价”有以下讲究: 1.分析市场行情价格,可从亲朋好友那里或职业中间机构获取信息。 2.分析市场需求状况,了解目前就业市场对这类人才是供不应求还是供过于求。 3.个人的经验和能力将是薪酬定位的决定性因素。 4.分析用人单位的特点,包括福利保障制度和个人发展空间。 BASIC EXPRESSIONS 基本句型表达 1) What are your salary expectations? 你期望的薪水是多少? 2) I expect to be paid according to my abilities. 我希望能根据我的能力支付薪资。 3) With my experience, I'd like to start at RMB 4000 per month. 以我的经验,我希望起薪是每月4000元人民币。 4) What is your salary now? 你现在的薪水是多少? 5) What's your expected salary? 你期望的薪水是多少? 6) How long is my probation? 我的试用期多长? 7) I think salary is closely related to the responsibilities of the job. 我觉得工资是与工作的责任紧密相关的。 CONVERSATIONS 会话

A:OK.Thank you very much. 此外,面试官还可能问及你的家庭情况,如家人对你的影响等,也应事先有所准备。 面试在求职过程中,可以说是压力最大的一个环节。面对外国老板连珠炮似的提问,如果能回答得从容不迫、简明扼要,恰当中肯,而且合乎老外的口味,那么肯定会大大增加你的录取机会。 事先3项准备 1. 对目标公司所在地、规模、在全球的活动概况等要事先有所了解,包括总公司在国内设立分公司的时间、业绩表现、经营规模,以及今后打算开展的业务等,若能得到业界的评价更好。如无法得到书面资料,也要设法从该公司或其他同业中获得情报。 2. 面试时自我介绍内容应强调应征的动机以及想应征的岗位,因此收集好相关岗位的情报,自我介绍时才能胸有成竹,切合主题。 3. 准备好所有证书材料,譬如与专业能力相关的资格证书,或参加培训的资料,最好和应征职务有直接关联,不但可证明自己在这一方面所做的努力,也表示具有这个潜能。 谈吐3P原则 自我介绍时应该记住“3P原则”:Positive(自信),Personal(个性),Pertinent(中肯)。 谈吐自信,就是要积极地进行自我肯定,让面试人充分了解你的优点与潜能。突出个性,就是要把自己与众不同的特点发挥出来,强调自己的专业与能力。语气中肯,就是要实事求是,不要言过其实,夸夸其谈,也不要涉及和自己无关的事情。 自我介绍应简洁明了,给面试人留下思路清晰、反应快捷、逻辑性强的印象。自我介绍时间不宜太长,话不宜太多,最好控制在五分钟之内。不要一谈起自己就口若悬河,滔滔不绝,以免言多语失。另外,在自我介绍时应避免过多地使用“I”(我),不要每个句子一开头就冒出一个“I”字,给人留下自我标榜、以自我为中心的印象。 灵活的应聘者往往会把“我”开头的话,变成“你”字打头。例如,面试人说:Would you please say something about yourself?(请你谈谈自己的情况好吗?)应聘者则说:Do you want me to talk about my personal life or to say something about the job?(你想让我谈谈我个人的生活呢,还是与这份工作有关的问题?)这样,你的谈话就把面试人摆了进去。这种谈话的方式所产生的效果是不言而喻的。面试毕竟是面试人与应聘者互相沟通的一种场合,应聘者时常把面试人摆进自己的谈话当中去,自然而然就起到了互相沟通的作用。 围绕3方面表现 回答问题时口齿要清晰、语调适中。内容要有条理、避免重复。介绍工作经历采用倒序,从最近一份工作谈起,着重强调有利于新工作的职务经历。最好能说明曾担任何种职务、实际成绩、业绩等,以及自己的工作对原来公司的影响。凡和此次应征不相关的内容,尽量避免提及。话题紧扣以下3方面来展现自己的优势。 1. 能力。当你知道招聘单位目前急于用人时,首先把自己的专长讲足说够,然后顺理成章地得出结论:I think your unit needs a man like me.(我想,贵单位需要象我这样的人才。)用这样的句式,让面试人认为你是站在他们的立场上说话,在替他们的发展考虑问题,于是更容易接受你。陈述自己的任职资格时,可以这么开头:I’m qualified for the job because……(我能胜任这项工作,是因为……)接着陈述理由。当面试人在审视你究竟能不能胜任此职时,参照的标准已不再是他心目中的标准,而是你列举的理由。 2. 业绩。外国公司面试喜欢用事实说话,为了证明你的能力,你可以把过去的经历联系起来,说明你曾经为以前的公司解决过跟现在雇主所面临的类似问题:I explored Shanghai market and sold 50,000 sets in one year.(我开发了上海市场,一年销售出去5万套。) 3. 诚意。某个问题发表完见解之后,可以附带加上一句:I’d like to hear your opinion.(我很想听听你的意见。)这句话表明了你对面试人的尊敬,很容易使他(她)产生亲切感。当面试人在试探你的应聘诚意时,应该及时表态:So
far as that is concerned, you must have understood my determination.(谈到这里,您一定已经明白我的决心。)问些与工作内容相关的问题,能表现你对这份工作的兴趣。如:What
other responsibilities do you think this job will include? (您觉得这份工作所包含的职责还有哪些?) 1、Tell me about yourself 这是面试官惯用的开场白。千万不要长篇大论背诵简历。你可以在这时将最突出的优点概括性地总结,并引导面试官向你早已准备好的方面发问。 2、What types of prospective job tasks do you enjoy the most?Which prospective job tasks do you least care to do﹖ 主要考察应聘者会否对工作中的很多地方感到厌倦;另外还考察你对自己的喜好是否诚实,你是否了解这份工作的基本职责;你是否认识到任何职业都会包含一些枯燥无味的日常工作。 3、What is your greatest weakness﹖ 不要把那些明显是优点的品行当成缺点说,这种落入俗套的方式早已被面试官厌倦。可以说一些对于你应聘这个职位没有影响的缺点,对于那些在面试中已经表现出的明显弱点,你可以利用这个问题加以弥补,显示你早已意识到,并且正在改进,已经取得了较大进展。 4、What do you plan to be doing five years from now﹖ 主要考察你的职业目标是否符合公司的要求;这份职业是否是你达到目的的合理选择;你是否有继续发展的热情;你的野心是否和这份职业的要求相契合;你的发展潜力有多大。如果你应聘大企业,千万不要提你想创业,如果应聘小企业,这倒是个合理的回答。 5、What college subjects did you like best and least﹖ Why﹖ 这个问题用来发现应聘者是怎样类型的人。即使你喜爱的课程与专业无关,也要表现出它对你申请的工作有所帮助。 6、What is your class rank and your grade point﹖ Why are your grades so low﹖ 如果你的成绩不好,你要准备好适当的解释。 7、What are your interests on outside work﹖ What campus or community activities have you been involved in﹖ 列举主要的一两个兴趣爱好即可,强调自己有很多兴趣爱好容易使人怀疑你有多少时间用来工作,还可能导致面试官对你的夸大其词的厌恶。
无论词藻华丽与否,一定要体现自身的特点,并且与众不同。务必为每个词准备好具体的例子。 9、How do you deal with someone in your group who isn’t pulling his or her weight or disagree with your goals﹖ 考察你的团队合作能力和领导能力。用激励代替批评。回想那些你试图鼓励他人,并使他改变初衷,转为赞同你的观点的例子。 10、What position do you normally take on a team﹖ 考察你的团队合作技巧。不要把自己形容为一个跟随者或是领导者。公司希望你在团队合作中不懂时提出问题,必要时帮助他人,承担责任,做出贡献。好的合作者在团队中的角色是动态的。 11、Tell me what you’re most proud of on your experiences﹖ 这个问题几乎是每一位求职者必然面对的问题,最好挑选能够体现公司希望看到的素质的事例。 12、What is the worst mistake you’ve ever made﹖ 千万不要提那些人生污点,任何公司都会敬而远之。可以讲述一个有价值的教训,最好发生在很久以前,强调你从中学到现在,它如何影响你的今后发展。 英语面试一般包括三轮 chie介绍说,第一轮面试一般由公司人力资源部的人员担任考官,他们会从你的个人简历出发,询问一些有关个人的问题,比如请你用英语做一个自我介绍。有些公司也会有一部分英语笔试,主要考查应聘者基本的语言运用能力。 第二轮面试则由部门主管经理出面,这时候有关业务方面的问题成了面试的重点,所以英语面试也从个人情况转向了专业领域。比如应聘市场部,则应聘者通常会被要求谈一谈以往最成功的一个案例,或者自身的业务强项等。 如果前面都很顺利,那么,最后一轮面试一般就是和公司的总裁面对面了。外企的总裁一般是老外,当然面试就变成全英语的了。总裁询问的问题一般会和公司的精神、企业文化有关。 面试中最需要自信 普华永道人力资源部经理姜周红介绍说,一般在进行英语面试时,多是希望考查应聘者听说读写的实际操作能力。小组讨论是英语面试的重要一环,一般来说,小组讨论形式的面试其目的主要是要了解应聘者在团体中的工作反应。进一步说,面试官更多的是希望了解应聘者面对指责的态度。 姜周红说,在外企的面试中,除了笔试之外,面试中的英语部分以考查应用能力为主,所以应聘者在面试当中最需要的是自信、敢说。不妨尽量采用简短明了的词汇来表达自己的意思。另外,切忌在面试当中抬高自己贬低别人。回答问题尽量自然,并作为小组成员之一在自己的负责范围内答题,也不要重复其他应聘者的答案。说话要流利,思维要连贯,层次要清晰,不要夹杂中文,可以用“well”、“however”这样的过渡词来给自己停顿和思考,同时,也使得自己的表述显得口语化一些。 面试前了解一下企业文化 新橙英语培训中心专业商务面试课程教师chie建议说,学生的先期准备主要是个人情况和业务方面。专业英语的准备要充足,有时会被要求用英语解释一个专业术语或解答一个技术问题。所以,在面试前不妨去公司的英文网站了解一下企业文化,这对与老板面谈会有帮助的。 chie介绍说,英语面试目前的趋势是通常设在一个类似于接待室的地方,而非特别准备的会场,由2-3个人负责面试。 外国人作为考官进行面试时,由于他们与我们的思维方式、习惯以及文化有所差别,因此必须熟悉他们的理解方式和语言表达方式。不同公司对外语水平的要求不同,有的只具备用外语接听电话的水平即可,也有的要求用外语从事一般性工作。因此,应聘者必须准确了解应聘公司的外语使用程度和目的等信息后,再做出相应的对策。 英语面试实战指南 I:Interviewer(面试者)A:Applicant(求职者) 介绍教育背景:简明扼要,实话实说 尽管你在简历中对自己的教育背景作了介绍,但在面试时,面试官还有可能就此方面提问。还是事先做点准备吧。 ①Iwhat is your major﹖ AMy major is Business Administration.

分析 通过这个问题可以了解求职者的个性。这个问题看起来与求职者的潜能无关,但它反映了一种趋势,那就是企业倾向于雇用有高尚道德标准和高超技能的人。 错误回答 我认为他们会说我是一个有趣的人。对我最恰当的评价就是,我喜欢努力工作和尽情娱乐。 评论 这种回答听起来似乎无懈可击,但是它却存在几个问题。首先,这种回答并没有对所提问题做出答复,还会让面试人怀疑求职者没有亲密的朋友。另外,这种回答也会让面试人怀疑“尽情娱乐”的本质,从而有可能提出更多具有杀伤力的问题,比如有关酗酒和吸毒等问题。 正确回答 我的朋友对我很重要。在与朋友的交往中,最重要的是,彼此之间有互相依赖的感觉。我们都很忙,并不能经常会面,但在我可以称为亲密朋友的几个人中,我们都知道,大家随时可以互相依赖。 评论 这种回答反映了一种成熟感,如今的企业非常重视这种感觉。求职者的优良素质和对少数几个朋友的重视,都可以表明求职者的心理素质相当稳定。有关的故事听起来也必须真实,如果不真实就不要使用——因为这不会奏效。 _______________________________________________________________ 问题13 你和同事们怎样相处? 分析 通过这个问题以及前面上下级关系和朋友关系的问题,面试人可以对求职者的有效沟通技能得出一个总体印象。从某种意义上说,如何和同事们相处是最关键的沟通问题,因为根据美国劳工部的统计,在离职的人中,80%是因为不能适应其他人。与同事的有效沟通能力将减少面试人的担心,避免他(她)认为你是又一个不合适的人选。 错误回答 我是一个容易交往的人,能够同大多数人和谐相处。到目前为止,我还从来没有真正遇到过无法与我相处的人。我们总会遇到某个自己不太喜欢的人,这种人不像其他人一样容易相处,但是我努力忽略这一点。如果某个人确实讨厌,我就耐心等待,直到他们最终消失——我相信这种人不会在这里待太久。 评论 同某些错误回答一样,这种回答看起来也相当无害。但是它有几个漏洞。首先,没有人能够跟所有人和谐相处。在做出能够和所有人相处的泛泛陈述后,紧接着却谈论自己不喜欢的人,这使得这种回答听起来有点矛盾。最后,求职者打破了面试的一个主要规则——永远不说别人的不好。 正确回答 我一般都能与同事相处得很好。当然有时候也可能会同某人发生冲突。这时,我一般会注意寻找冲突的根源,而不是转移到对对方的攻击上。我发现这种方法非常有效,它可以使我同任何人都维持一种相互尊重的关系。另外,通过这样做,我往往都能解决问题,甚至会促进与同事的关系。 评论 这种回答表明,求职者的心理是稳定的,而且具有很高的人际协调能力。通过将问题和人格区别开来,求职者表明了自己在过去曾经顺利解决过人际关系问题,而且过去在人际关系方面也很成功。_______________________________________________________________ 问题14 你认为自己最显著的成就是什么?为什么? 分析 这个问题可以让面试人了解你的价值观。你选择谈论的事情将揭示出你的道德标准以及你的侧重点。 错误回答 从小到大的求学经历是非常艰难的。你知道,我顺利完成了学业,我很自豪自己能一边学习一边工作。 评论 从表面上看,这种回答似乎无懈可击,很多人可能也用过类似的回答方式,但是,事实上它存在着几个方面的缺陷。首先,学生求学在今天是相当普遍的,因此这并没有什么独特之处。其次,这种回答集中强调一个进行的过程而不是某一具体活动,并不能突出你的独特性。 正确回答 (这里我并没有给出一种具体的方法来供你参考,但我建议你考虑一下,自己做过的事情中有哪些能突出你的独特性。比如,在一次数学竞赛中获得一等奖,被选举为班长, 妥善处理了一次家庭危机,写了一篇综合性的校报文章,在辩论赛中获胜,重新制作一台汽车引擎,重组一个部门,成功地开发一条新生产线……) 评论 在这些例子中,每一个实例都应该是独特、深刻的,而且它能够将你与其他人区分开来。要记住,对于你的成就,你并不需要得到正式承认。你运用这些实例只是想表明自己做得很出色,很为之自豪。花费点时间想一想这方面的事情。这种方法比千篇一律的“我顺利完成学业”更有效果。_______________________________________________________________ 问题15 在什么情况下你的工作最为成功? 分析 这个问题考查的是你在什么条件下工作最有成效,你的回答将反映出你青睐的工作方式,反映出那些影响你成功的因素,同时也可能反映出你的缺陷。 错误回答 只要我用心去做,任何事情都会取得成功。只要知道别人的期望,我一般都能够做到使之满意。 评论 尽管这是一个看起来比较合理的回答,但它也存在缺陷。同前面的问题一样,我们称其为一种通用回答,它最多只能给面试人留下浅浅的印象。这种回答的真正问题在于,它假定企业寻找的是那种善于听从指令的人,而不是勇于开拓的人。在当今时代,大多数企业都在寻找能够自我激励的人,因此,在面试中表明你需要别人指导可能是致命的。 正确回答 我解决问题的方式是一个系统过程,这个过程包括收集与问题有关的信息,清楚地界定问题,制定策略以及实施这个策略。我发现大多数人忽略前两个步骤而直接跳到策略的制定和实施上。只要拥有足够的信息而且能够看清问题,我就可以解决任何问题。 评论 这种回答表明,求职者过去曾经解决过困难问题,曾经思考过解决问题的策略,而且也形成了一套解决困难问题的方法。同时,它显示了求职者的自信,表明了这些技能在经过实践检验后是可行的。另外,它也说明求职者愿意在将来使用这些技能。_______________________________________________________________ 问题16 为了实现自己的目标你会怎样努力工作? 分析 很明显,面试人希望通过对这个问题的回答来确认求职者是否是一个努力工作的人。回答这个问题的关键在于,你一定要显示出自己履行责任的意愿和能力。 问题17 问题18 问题19 问题20 问题21 在找工作时,你认为哪些事情对你来说在智力上最具有挑战性?为什么? 分析 这个问题可以用来了解求职者是否重视深入思考。通过这个问题,面试人可以了解求职者解决问题的能力。 错误回答 我希望找到的工作能让我运用自己的知识。如果你像我一样上过好学校,你会学到很多做事的方式,能把这些知识应用到工作中将是非常伟大的。 评论 这里求职者答非所问,混淆了智力挑战与以前学习的概念。这种回答表明,求职者只有生搬硬套的答案,而没有能力在遇到个别问题时形成新答案。 正确回答 我认为参与企业的短期和长期计划是非常重要的。不管在什么样的企业供职,我都以某种方式参与了它的研发活动。了解企业的发展方向,并且能够成为企业发展的一份动力,这在我的工作中对智力是最具有挑战性的。 评论 这种回答表明,求职者看重智力挑战和发展个人极限。同时还能够表明,求职者能够激励自己,能够主动了解企业的未来发展趋势并愿意为此做出贡献。 _______________________________________________________________ 问题22 在你做过的事情中,哪些是最具智力挑战的? 分析 这个问题可以反映求职者的智力水平。它可以让面试人初步了解求职者解决问题的潜力。 错误回答 哦,这是一个很难回答的问题,实际上我并不是一个知识分子,我更属于那种动手实践的人。我的意思是说,智力化究竟有什么意义呢?把这种工作留给大学教授们去做吧,我更愿意做实际的事情。 评论 关于这个问题我想引入"薄片因素"的概念,求职者这样的错误回答就是一个很好的例子。实际上,根据"薄片因素"理论,求职者这样回答是肯定会被淘汰的。求职者不仅仅因为表现出对这个问题的蔑视而冒犯了面试人,同时还表明求职者没有深入思考的能力。 正确回答 几年以前的一个夏天,我在一家保险公司工作。当时这家企业正在向计算机化的邮件系统转变。我只是一个暑期助理,但是凭着我的电脑知识,我能够帮助他们去掉系统中的蠕虫。这确实令我非常振奋,因为我可以一边做事一边学习。我还从企业的长远角度考虑,给系统转变提出了一些建议。 评论 这种回答的优点在于,它表明求职者可以把以前的学习经验运用到新情况中,能够从经验中学习,而且也能够运用新学到的知识。_______________________________________________________________ 问题23 你怎样做出自己的职业选择? 分析 面试人提出这个问题是为了了解求职者的动机,看看他(她)应聘这份工作是否有什么历史渊源,是否有职业规划,是不是仅仅在漫无目的地申请很多工作。 错误回答 我一直都想在企业界工作。自孩提时代起,我就梦想自己至少也要成为大企业的副总裁。 评论 除了难以令人相信之外,这种回答还存在一个问题:它表明求职者会对副总裁以下的职位不感兴趣。 正确回答 在上大学四年级前的那个夏天,我决定集中精力在某一领域谋求发展。尽管我是学商业的,但是我不知道自己最终会从事哪一行业的工作。我花了一定的时间考虑自己的目标,想清楚了自己擅长做的事情以及想从工作中得到的东西,最后我得出了一个坚定的结论,那就是这个行业是最适合我的。 评论 这种回答表明,求职者认真地做过一些计划,缩小了自己的关注点,而且也认准了前进的方向。这种回答还表明,求职者理解个人职业规划的重要性,并且有能力做出认真的个人决策。 _______________________________________________________________ 问题24 在高薪、表彰和晋升之间,你认为哪种形式最有价值? 分析 这里我们又一次遇到了比较陷阱。如果你顺着提问者的思路回答,那你就必败无疑。如果你选择金钱优于晋升,那就会被看成世俗和短见;相反,如果你认为金钱不重要,那你就会因为对金钱表现出的冷漠而被看做不真诚。 错误回答 金钱对我来说并没有那么重要。我希望能对自己的企业做出贡献,同时也希望因此而获得必要的奖励,比如表彰和晋升。 评论 这种回答有不真诚的倾向,甚至会使面试人怀疑求职者的论述。如果金钱不那么重要,那为什么求职者还想在企业界找工作呢?要知道企业在本质上都是利润至上的。对金钱不感兴趣的人可能不会选择到重视金钱的行业工作。 正确回答对我来说,这些东西都是紧密联系、不可分离的。尽管我对金钱并不着迷,但我认为,随着成功、晋升以及表彰的出现,它们一定也会给我带来更多的金钱回报。 评论 这种回答是诚实的,而且也不世俗。它反映了求职者的抱负,也反映了求职者对自己未来成功的合理推测。 _______________________________________________________________ 问题25 你能描述一下自己的成功阶梯并解释这一过程吗? 分析 对这个问题的回答可以反映求职者对企业界运行规律的理解,也可以反映出求职者的期望是否现实,同时也可以表明求职者的目标和抱负。 错误回答 我能跟上时代的步伐。我是一个相信勤劳必将得到回报的人。我相信,如果我选择了一家合适的企业,我可以很快地在企业阶梯上攀升,而且能最终成为这家企业的经营管理者。在你们这样的一流企业里,这就是成功。 评论 这种回答乍看起来似乎很合理,但是它存在几个问题。虽然它反映了企业界很多人的想法,但它忽略了这样一个基本事实--事物的运行方式正在发生着变革。在以上回答中,最后一句话看起来好像是要别人领情。对于敏锐的面试人来说,这种回答听起来倒有点拍马屁的嫌疑。 正确回答 我认为,在今天的人才市场上,这是每个人都会遇到的最大挑战。我认为,企业正在改变这种职业阶梯的方式,而且这种改变是巨大的。因此,我认为企业员工也必须适应这种改变,积极主动地规划自己的职业发展。对我来说,最关键的就是找到一家能充分利用自己技能的企业。一旦找到这样的企业,我就会尽我所能为企业增加自己的价值。如果我能做出重要贡献,我理所当然地会获得职业晋升的机会。 评论 这种回答表明,求职者理解工作场所正在发生的变革。另外,它也说明求职者理解企业面临的困境,知道企业非常重视发挥员工的个人生产力,看到了个人业绩与职业发展的关系。同时,它也说明求职者有成功的动力,而且没有任何不现实的期望。最后,它表明用工合同是雇主和员工之间达成的一种真诚协议。 问题26 在决定这一职位聘用什么人时,你认为哪些资格是最重要的?

(避免与面试人谈政治或宗教) 北京新东方学校面试口语课老师冯颙,给参加英语面试的应聘者提出四个建议。 建议一:精心设计一个自然的开场白。例如: I(应聘者):Yes, please. Oh, you are Jin Li, aren’t you? (请进。哦,你是李劲吧?) C:Yes, I am. (对,我是。) I:Please sit here, on the sofa. ( 请坐。) C:Thank you. (谢谢。) 采用Excuse me. Is this personnel department?(请问,这里是人力资源部吗?)或Excuse me for interrupting you. I’m here for an interview as requested.(不好意思打搅了,我是依约来应聘的。) 类似问法都比较合适。 在确定了面试场所和面试官之后,简洁地用Good morning/afternoon向面试官打招呼,也能令在场的人提升对你的印象。 建议二:不要害怕外表冷冰冰的考官 一些用人单位与面试者的最初交流是比较冷冰冰的。例如: I:Your number and name, please.(请告知你的号码和名字。) C:My number is sixteen and my name is Zhixin Zhang.(我是16号,我叫张志新。) 这时,面试者不要觉得有压力,面试官的态度冷漠并不是针对你个人,你只需要照实简洁地回答即可。 在某些情况下,面试官会问一些看起来比较普通和随意的问题,但实际上是暗藏深意的,例如: How did you come? A very heavy traffic? (你怎么来的?路上很堵吧?) 你的回答可以是这样:Yes, it was heavy but since I came here yesterday as a rehearsal, I figured out a direct bus line from my school to your company, and of course,I left my school very early so it doesn’t matter to me. (是的,很堵。但我昨天已经预先来过一次并且找到了一条从我们学校直达贵公司的公交路线,并且在今天提早从学校出发。因此,路上的拥堵并没有影响到我。)这样的回答就点出了你的计划性以及细心程度。 建议三:抓住考官问题的关键点回答 如果应聘者突然听不懂面试官的话,或者问题太复杂,该如何回答?下面是一名工商大学的学生参加一知名化妆品公司英文面试中的一段: I:You are talking shop. How will you carry out marketing campaign if we hire you?(你很内行。如果我们雇用你的话,你打算如何开始你的市场工作?) C:Sorry, sir. I beg your pardon.(对不起,能重复一下吗?) I:I mean that how will you design your work if we hire you?(我的意思是如果我们决定录用你,你打算如何开展市场工作?) C:Thank you, sir. I’ll organize trade fair and symposium,prepare all marketing materials, and arrange appointments for our company with its business partners.(谢谢。我将组织贸易展销会和研讨会,预备所有营销材料,为公司及其商业伙伴安排见面会。) I:Do you know anything about this company?(你对本公司的情况了解吗?) C:Yes, a little. As you ××mentioned just now, yours is an America-invested company. As far as I know, ××Company is a world-famous company which produces cosmetics and skincare products. Your cosmetics and skincare products are very popular with women in all parts of the world.(是的,了解一点点。正如你刚才所提到的那样,贵公司是一家美资公司。据我所知,贵公司是一家世界闻名生产美容护肤品的公司。你们的美容护肤品深受世界各地妇女的欢迎。) 在希望对方重复问题时,除了I beg your pardon.还可以用 Would you please rephrase your sentence?的表达方式。 建议四:巧用过渡语,表明自己用心听问题 如果面试者在面试时可以用一些类似:As you mentioned(正如您所说的)或者As far as I know(据我所知),表示你一直在认真听对方的谈话。此外,你还可以选择As it is shown in my resume(正如我的简历所提到的) 或As my previous experience shows(如我之前的工作经验所示)之类的表达法。 另外,在面试之前,面试者对应聘公司应有所了解。比如了解公司的规模、业务、未来发展,这些往往被中国学生忽略了,对公司文化理解是否深刻,是你超出其他应聘者的一个亮点。但如果实在不了解,就应根据所知诚实回答。 ″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. Organize 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 500 company. ″ 求职面试题 “你为什么想为我们工作?” 这个问题是显而易见的。如果你对该公司做过调查研究你应该能够给出很好的理由。你要将你的理由归结为几句简短的话清楚地表明你的兴趣。如可答:“你们在电子领域是领头人。你们公司是《财富》杂志评选的500强之一。” ″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. “你最大的弱点是什么?” 你不应该说你没有任何弱点以此来回避这个问题;每个人都有弱点。最佳策略是承认你的弱点,但同时表明你在予以改进,并有克服弱点的计划。

my present post, which I am leaving to better myself. 1、下面是询问工作情况: 2、下面是一些询问工作地点的方式: 3、下面是你如何询问别人做什么样工作的方式: 二、下面是一些询问工作地点的方式: 三、典型的回答是: 四、下面是你如何询问别人做什么样工作的方式: 五、通常的回答是: 对这个问题你该怎么样来回答?This is an obvious question and if you have done your research on the companyyou should be able to give a good reason. Organize 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 500 company. ″ ″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. “你为什么想为我们工作?” 这个问题是显而易见的。如果你对该公司做过调查研究你应该能够给出很好的理由。你要将你的理由归结为几句简短的话清楚地表明你的兴趣。如可答:“你们在电子领域是领头人。你们公司是《财富》杂志评选的500强之一。” “你最大的弱点是什么?” 你不应该说你没有任何弱点以此来回避这个问题;每个人都有弱点。最佳策略是承认你的弱点,但同时表明你在予以改进,并有克服弱点的计划。
一、外企英语面试啥样子? 第一轮面试一般由公司人力资源部的人员担任考官,他们会从你的个人简历出发,询问一些有关个人的问题,比如请你用英语做一个自我介绍。有些公司,也会有一部分英语笔试,如雅芳公司,其笔试中包含一个中英互译的项目,主要考查应聘者基本的语言运用能力。 第二轮面试则由部门主管经理出面,这时候,有关业务方面的问题成了面试的重点,所以英语面试也从个人情况转向了专业领域。比如应聘市场部,则应聘者通常会被要求谈一谈以往最成功的一个案例,或者自身的业务强项等。 如果前面一路绿灯大亮,那么,最后一轮面试就要和bigboss———公司的总裁面对面了。外企的总裁一般是老外,当然面试就变成全英语的了。总裁询问的问题一般会和公司的精神、企业文化有关。一位曾任职默沙东制药的小姐说,她在参加的默沙东最后一轮面试时,默沙东老总看到她是学新闻出身的,便要求她谈谈对中国新闻媒体的看法,因为默沙东制药一直对新闻媒体有其比较独特的态度。通过这样比较宏观的问题,招聘方想要发现的是,应聘者的理念是否与公司的文化精神相契合。 二、如何应对英语面试 首先,平时要注意训练听力,至少要听得懂考官的问题,如果考官一个问题出来,你却听得云里雾里,然后来两三个“Pardon”,那现场气氛定会急转直下。说话要流利,思维要连贯,层次要清晰,不要夹杂中文,可以用“well”、“however”这样的过渡词来给自己停顿和思考,同时,也使得自己的表述显得口语化一些。 其次,发音要标准。在与外国boss面谈的过程中,发音的正确清晰与否是最为重要的。不要因为害怕犯语法错误而不敢说,大多数时候一些细小的语法错误并不影响交际的进行,老外们也不会特别在意。如果要说某个词却一时想不起来,那就换种说法,尽量避免卡壳,卡壳会导致冷场。总之不管怎么样,都要自信满满地,把英文说得让人听上去像那么回事。 三、如何准备 2、临场发挥 3、打个电话自测英语 如果自己有缺点,最好的办法就是坦然地承认它。为自己的缺点找足理由也无济于事,重要的是如何使对方在感情上认同你谈及自身缺点的态度。“你为什么留级过一年?”主考官这样问,你该怎么回答呢?可以这样回答:“我也觉得留级一年很不应该,当时我担任社团的负责人,全身投入到社团活动上,反而忽略了自己当学生的本分,等我察觉到这个错误时,我已经留级了。虽然我花在社团的心血,也带给我不少的收获,可是每想到自己因此而留级,就觉得很可耻,我一直都为此事耿耿于怀,更不愿重蹈覆辙。”如此诚实地承认自己的缺点。通常主考官会因此认为你是个胸襟博大的人,而且会因此认同你的处境,心存好感地继续听你说下去。 有的“缺点”并不是缺点,而是一般意义的误会造成的,这时,你应及时澄清,缩短与对方心理上造成的差距。一个求职者出身于高干家庭,他到一个普通公司去面试,在介绍自己时说:“我的父亲虽然是高干,但他对我的要求很严格,洗衣服等活,从来不让保姆给我做,由于我是在这种环境中长大的,独立意识和独立精神很强,从不依赖父亲的职权,所以,到你们公司,无论什么苦,我都能吃……”这位求职者抓住出身高干容易引起人们产生不能吃苦的误会的关键点,从谈自己的父亲如何对自己的严格要求入手,谈到自己对家庭出身的看法和对生活所采取的态度,以至让对方了解自己吃过苦,能吃苦的品质,这样一来,就缩小了与用人单位的距离。 有的考官常常对那些表现令人满意的考生提出令人尴尬的问题:“从事某项工作你有什么主要缺点或不足?”有的考生连连摇头,回答说没有,甚至有人反问:“您说呢?您给我指出来好吗?”等等,而有的人却非常聪明,他们既不掩饰回避也非直截了当,而是联系大学生的共同弱点(缺乏实践经验、社会阅历较浅等),结合本专业的发展趋势(知识结构不甚合理、专业知识不足以应对新的挑战等)及个性中的缺憾(如过分追求完美,可能开拓精神不够,或过于追求工作效率,小心谨慎不足等等),讲讲自己正在克服和能够改正的弱点,谈理想与现实中的差距,讲那些表面是缺点但对某项工作有益的个性等等。既体现了谦逊好学的美德,又正面回答了这一难题。心理研究表明,人际交往存在三种状态,一种是权威式、一种是理智式、一种是冲动式。在面试中更需要理智式的交往,而理智来自于充分准备,深思熟虑,而不是幼稚冲动。 一个人有缺点并不可怕,可怕的是不敢承认它、改正它,反而强词夺理。从辩证的角度看,缺点与优点是相互转化的,前提是正确地认识缺点,实实在在地改正缺点。“横看成岭侧成峰”,对缺点本身来讲,有些“缺点”对某些工作来说恰恰是优点;对有缺点的人来说,无论是消除误会,还是坦然承认,都会使消极评价转化为积极的评价。
一、外企招聘人才的特点 2、 外资企业招聘人才的途径 3、 外资企业怎样挑选人才 二、面试应聘应注意的问题 1、 面试的准备 2、 面试中常见的问题 3、 面试应注意的礼节 8、Q:What kind of opportunities are you looking for? 9、Q:what is your biggest accomplishment on the job? 10、Q:How did you do that? 11、Q:Why do you want to be a part of our organization? 12、Q:How so? 13、Q:Why should we hire you? 14、Q:Do you know what’s involved in a job like this? 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." 下面是一个积极正面回答的好例子:"在高中我参加各种竞争性体育活动,并一直努力提高各项运动的成绩。大学期间,我曾在一家服装店打工,我发现我能轻而易举地将东西推销出去。销售固然重要,但对我来说,更重要的是要确信顾客能够满意。不久便有顾客返回那家服装店点名让我为他们服务。我很有竞争意识,力求完美对我很重要。" 2. "Why do you want to work for us? "You are a leader in the field of electronics. Your company is a Fortune 5O0 company. Your management is very progressive." "你为什么想为我们工作?"这是个明确的问题。如果你对该公司做过调查研究,你应该能够给出很好的理由。你要将你的理由编成几句简短的话清楚地表明你的兴趣。 如可答:"你们在电子领域是领头人。你们公司是《财富》杂志评选的500强之一。你们的管理很先进。" 3. "Why should I hire you?" Based on the internships that I have participated in and the related part-time experiences I have had, I can do the job. "为什么我应该聘用你?"同样,你不应长篇大论,而应提供有关你资历的扼要说明。要肯定自己,表明你能胜任此项工作。 如答:"根据我参加过的实习和与此相关的打工经历。我能胜任。" 4. "How do you feel about your progress to date?" "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. "对于你至今所取得的进步你是怎样看的?"绝不要对你以前的所作所为表示内疚。 如可答:"我认为我在学校表现不错。事实上,有好几门功课我的成绩居全班第一。""在某公司实习时,我获得了该公司数年来给予其雇员的好几项最高评价。" 5. "What would you like to be doing five years from now?" "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." "从今以后5年内你想做些什么?"你要清楚你实际上能胜任什么。你可以事先和他人交流一番。问问他们在某公司的头5年都做了些什么。 如可答。"我希望能在我的职位上尽力做好工作,由于在同一领域工作的许多人都被提为区域负责人,所以我亦有此打算。" 6. "What is your greatest weakness?" 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. "你最大的弱点是什么?"你不应该说你没有任何弱点,以此来回避这个问题;每个人都有弱点。最佳策略是承认你的弱点,但同时表明你在予以改进,并有克服弱点的计划。 可能的话,你可说出一项可能会给公司带来好处的弱点,如可说:"我是一个完美主义者。工作做得不漂亮,我是不会撒手的。" 7. "What is your greatest strength? " "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." "你最突出的优点是什么?"这是你"展示自己"的最佳机会,不要吹嘘自己或过于自负,但要让雇主知道你相信自己,你知道自己的优点。 如可答:"我认为我最大的优点是能够执着地尽力把事情办好。当做完一件工作而其成果又正合我的预想时,我会有一种真正的成就感。我给自己定了一些高目标。比如说,我要成为出色的毕业生。尽管在大学一年级时我启动慢了些,但最终我以优等论文完成了学业。"
一、不同职位不同需求 大多数情况下,良好的英文表达能力是进入名企的必备条件,也是最基本要求。德勤律师事务所人力资源经理张俊莉女士说,国际化公司服务的客户大多为外国公司,公司职员必须具备用英文与客户顺畅沟通的能力,即使将来的工作环境以中文环境为主,公司也会要求应聘者有良好的沟通能力,这是一种skill(技能)。 据了解,对于英文要求最高的行业当属顶级咨询公司和投资银行,一般来讲,这些公司从申请到录用都是以英文进行,诸如摩根士丹利、贝恩咨询等,他们的新进职员会被直接派往海外锻炼,没有良好的沟通能力,不可能适应繁重的工作。 当然,也有一些职位对英语的要求相对宽松。GE(中国)大学合作发展及招聘经理邬君临女士说:“GE会重点考察应聘公共关系、管理和金融类职位的人的英文交流能力,而对专业技术类岗位应聘者的英文要求相对宽松。”一般来说,公关、管理和金融类职位特别看重应聘者的沟通能力,需要他们能够尽快适应国外分公司的语言环境。而技术性人才一般只要能够流畅地用英文表达意思即可。另外,技术型人才应该熟悉本专业的英文术语,能够用英文与国际专家交流合作。在Intel、IBM中国研究中心的面试后期,技术部门的应聘者会直接面对外籍主管,用英文解答专业问题,因此理工类人才应该尤其注意专业英语的准备。 二、英文面试考察软技能 GE(中国)邬女士表示:“英文面试不是单纯的语言技能的考查,而是对应聘者综合素质的考查,用人单位不会在英语语法和发音上吹毛求疵。科学的面试会把case study(团队考查)和face to face (一对一面试)结合进行,给所有人展示自我的机会。当然,英文棒很容易吸引考官的目光。” 外企在面试中特别注重对学生Soft skills的考查,Soft skills翻译成中文即为“软技能”它包括交流和沟通能力、协同作战能力、理解力、危机处理能力和自信程度等非专业技术能力,体现人的情商和逆商。英文口语水平高,体现出应聘者的语言能力强和自信;如果水平很一般,但仍然能够泰然自若地完成面试,同样也证明了应聘者的良好的心理状态。 人力资源主管们建议考生要在软技能上下功夫,英文介绍注意逻辑性、连贯性和清晰性,即使出现差错也要坚持下去,不要害怕说Sorry、Pardon。不要过分强调语言本身的技巧,而应言之有物,展示自身特点。 另外有些企业的面试经常出其不意,如联想集团今年的面试,要求小组人员共同搭造一座模型,前提是所有人都必须保持沉默,试的就是应聘者的协调能力和默契程度,这样的面试不是买一本指南就能轻松闯过的。所有大企业的招聘主管都奉劝应聘者,以平和的心态应对面试,表现出本色才是胜出的关键。 三、面归来说面经 A小姐,北京师范大学,GE面试归来 由于之前在一家英语培训学校教过两年托福,所以我的口语比较好,在GE面试的英文自我简介部分比较自信,或者应该说是我已经习惯了用英文表达自我。与我同组的同学都是各个学校里比较出色的一群,表现得也很棒,唯一的缺憾是,少数同学看起来不够自信。英文自我简介这一关很重要,它是初期面试中你的第一次单独亮相,以后的面试就变成小组讨论了,直到GE决定给你offer的最后一关。可能正因为太重视了,有些同学讲到中途就进行不下去了。我认为,面试官看中的不是你的语言是否优美,而更看中你的综合素质。即使英文不优美,只要能够自信地完成演讲,就是一种胜利,这种心态和应变能力绝对能够征服面试官。 我发现很多人忽略了简介中最重要的一部分——事实,没有事实编撰故事,或者有事实,但从来没有总结过,没有形成故事,而面试官最喜欢与应聘者讨论具体事例,因此建议大家把简历的每一个重点都用英文口头表达一下,毕竟用英文即兴演讲不是我们所擅长的。万一讲得不清楚,容易给面试官你在杜撰的感觉。 大多数应聘者可能都没有如我一样做老师的经历,平时的语言环境不好。这就要求我们自己创造环境。建议大家尽早为自己的人生做出规划,提前半年开始每天坚持练习听力,自主设计场景练习,假以时日,肯定会练出漂亮口语。

23、:How do you handle your conflict with your colleagues in your work? A、收集招聘单位的资料: 尽可能了解清楚招聘单位的性质和背景,搞准确它是哪一种行业、生产何种产品;是独资企业还是合资企业,它的文化牲(包括口号和形象)是什么;同时还要尽可能了解清楚招聘单位的业务情况,比如:过去的业绩好不好?业务往来的对象有哪些?现在该单位在做什么工作?如果是工厂,该厂产品的注册商标是什么?该单位的发展前景如何?另外,对招聘单位的内部组织、员工福利、一般起薪、工作地点等也应该尽可能了解清楚。 以上资料信息从何处可以获得?你可以向父母、朋友、同学或亲戚打听,也可以向在该用人单位工作的熟人咨询,还可以通过电话、新闻报道、广告、杂志、企业名录及其它书籍找到。 一个对招聘单位一无所知的求职者,面试时必遭失败无疑。例如:早两年广州有个学市场营销专业的本科男性毕业生,满怀信心去应试美国在广州投资兴办的“雅芳”(Avon)公司的销售人员,他原以为“雅芳”仅仅是这家公司美丽的名称而已,根本不知道“雅芳”是女性化妆品的注册商标。因此,在面试中当美方主试人部及他为何应聘该公司时,他不假思索地回答说:“我喜欢‘雅芳’”。结果弄得严肃的主试人忍俊不禁。该君就因这么一句答语而败北。试想,一个对其产品一无所知的人,怎么可能会被录取为推销呢? B. 收集主试人的有关情况: 首先要打听到主试人的姓名,并且要会正确地说出他们的姓氏。如果主试人是外籍人员,有时候他们的名字很不容易发得准确,宜在词典中查出其准确的发音。然后要尽可能了解到主试人的性格、为人方式、兴趣、爱好,他的背景如何,在近期生活中有什么重大变故,在变故中他是什么心境?你和主试人有何共同之处?你们是否有共同认识的人?只有对主试人的情况了如指掌,你才能在面试是易守易攻,自始至终立于不败之地。 C、 把自己的资料准备妥当: 有些行业在学历、能力、年龄各方面都有限制,事先要核查一下自己的资格是否符合条件,千万不要存在着碰碰运气的念头。如果你觉得自己符合应聘条件,还得确定自己可以胜任哪种职位。然后要准备好自己的毕业证书、学位证书、专业资格任职证书、获奖证书、身份证、推荐信等材料。去面试时,应把这些资料有条不紊地放在一个公文包里随身带去,以便主试人随时查看。准备一个井然有序的公文包会使你看上去办事得体有方,值得信赖。公文包里除了放置上述个人资料外,还可以装一些有关工作或有助于谈话的资料,说不定这些资料在面试中会发生惊人的效果。假如主试人提些你意想不到的问题,你可以拿出自己的笔记本回答:“我前些时候也看到一篇和这个问题有关的文章,尤感兴趣,因而作了笔记,您是否有兴趣翻一下。”这样,主试人便会对你另眼相看。 另外,你还可以准备一本大一点的书或杂志放在公文包里。通常面试前总有一段时间要等候,如果应试人数较多,而你又是被安排在较后,那么你等待的时间就较长。等候使人心情烦躁,无端生些猜测,打乱早已准备好的步骤。遇到此种情况,你便可以把书或杂志拿来出来看。看书可以让人安静镇定。如果主试人迟到了,你手上有书或杂志,正好可以全神贯注地看,显出丝毫没注意的样子。如果主试人有意凉晒你,让你久等,以便显示显示威风,你正好可以借着看书,表示你视若无睹,这样就避免了和主试人的正面冲突。和主试人发生哪怕是细微的不愉快的冲突,应试人是决不可能被录用的。
一、宝洁公司校园招聘程序 (一)初试:大约需要30-45分钟,面试官是公司各部门的高级经理。 二、相关问题答疑 2、各部门对所招的大学生是否有专业要求?专业是否一定要对口? 3、公司对学历有特别限制吗? 5、应届生在宝洁的升迁机会如何?中外人员提升的机会是否均等? 一、介绍最忌面面俱到 尽管有人认为面试时做自我介绍不流行了,但是准备一份正常语速下3分钟长度的英文自我简介是必要的。首先,自我简介是自我介绍的总纲,是保证你在面对任何问题时都能够应对自如的前提;其次,也是有备无患。 如果试图在短短几分钟内吸引面试官的注意力,你的简介当然要是浓缩的精品。所以,前奏一般用一句话陈述自己的基本特征即可。然后迅速进入正题,或选择自己最引以为傲的经历叙述,或介绍自己的长处。面试官一般会承接你的自我介绍发问,所以在做自我介绍时最好不要提特别难于讲清楚的事情和比较抽象的概念,因为你的英文水平只够应付普通会话,更何况身处高度紧张的面试氛围中,哪里还能够应对自如。简介不需要面面俱到,因为在你曾经提交的资料中,已有详细的介绍,所以力求在面试中突出重点。 二、回答语速切莫过快 很多应聘者认为只要在外国面试官前把英文说“溜”即可,其他的无所谓,于是语速狂飙。我们经常看到这种情形,在你口吐莲花之后,满场静寂,老外目瞪口呆,因为他们没有听懂你赶火车似的中式英文。其实,英文面试的第一目的是让国外主管了解你,甚至对你感兴趣,最重要的是展示你的综合素质,绝非单单的语言能力,所以应该首先力求表达清晰。另外语速过快容易给人不自信、不稳重的错觉。剑桥大学的一项调查显示,语速快一般体现具备两种不同特质的人,一种是思维和语言反应能力强且协调的人,一种是处事急躁的人,万一人家把你理解为第二种怎么办? 三、自由讨论应当直白 用简单直白的语言表现最具魅力的自我,才是英文面试的至高境界。习惯于堆砌华丽词藻的很多人恨不得在面试中用大气磅礴的英文演讲征服面试官,其实又犯了舍本逐末的错误。不要不屑于用therebe句型,不要不屑于用第一人称,不要想着那些一辈子也用不上几次的虚拟语气、倒装句和长词冗句,如果你能保证说英文如行云流水那么你尽情用,但万一紧张得忘了词怎么办?万一面试官和你展开辩论怎么办?用平实的语言直切正题是最讨巧的方式。 如果你凭实力进入了freetalk阶段,接下来要做的就是坦率的与面试官讨论大到企业未来,小到穿着打扮的话题,当然坦率也要聪明。那时候面试官有可能思维如野马,你很难把握他所关注的你身上的特质,你也无法预知他会问你些什么,那么以上这几点仍然是唯一可遵循的规律。

example: 当提起过去的工作经历时,要使用past tenses。 这样对方就能领会你已经离开那家公司。For example: Talking about qualifications谈你的资格: 交谈中,你需要向对方展示你有技术和资格胜任你如今申请的这份工作。因为过去的经历并不一定正好完全适合于当今申请的这份工作,所以向对方展示你的能力非常重要。 虽然过去的工作和如今申请的工作不一样, 但如果你能显示自己的"adapting skills", 那么通常情况下你也会有很大的机会得到这份工作。 注意:通常情况下interviewer在interview中很注重观察的是你的能力和你的"willingness to learn".

(对你目前的工作,能否做个概括的说明。) [separator] Q:Why did you leave your last job?(你为什么离职呢?) Q:How do you rate yourself as a professional?(你如何评估自己是位专业人员呢?)

The interviewer might ask you something like: 你不要为"interviewer" 那么友好的问话和语调感到吃惊。The interviewer wants to put you at ease (help you relax). So you just answer the question without going into too much detail. The most important part最重要的: Talk about your education谈你接受的教育: 当谈你受的教育时,可别忘了提起你参加过的培训,得到过的证书和选过的一些和这份工作有关的课程。譬如computer training, correspondence courses, CCNP Certificate等等。 因为英语不是你的母语,而你的工作要求你会英语,那么你还得特别提到你的英语娴熟程度或告诉对方你是如何在这方面做努力的。 一、考题围绕四大核心问题 A、性格测试Personality Questions :包括失败问题(Failure Questions)、自知问题 (Self-awareness Questions)、道德问题(Ethics/Sensitivity Questions)、趣味问题(Fun Questions) 。攻克这类问题需要应聘者有一个正确的自我认知,最忌逻辑混乱,自相矛盾。 B、简历问题Resume Questions :包括决断能力(Decisionmaking Rationale)、团队能力(Teamwork)、领导能力(Leadership) 。能够体现个人决断能力和领导能力的事例无非是各种社会实践经验和实习经历,在面试准备中,应聘者尤其要注意总结简历中所提到的相关经验,能够举出实例最好。 C、沟通测试 Communications Questions :比如“请在2分钟内教会我一项技能”、“向我推销桌上的台灯”这类问题。一般来说,这种问题是最难应付的。面对变化多端的题目和场景,应聘者唯一能做的就是坚持自己的立场。一旦陷入面试官设计的陷阱,你的沟通和推销能力就打了折扣。 D、商业问题 Business Questions:考官会询问你的商业兴趣、商业知识。国内的很多应届毕业生和跨专业求职者最欠缺的就是相关的商业知识,短期恶补,粗通常识尤为重要。在准备英文面试时尤其要注意积累商业领域的特殊词汇或表达。 二、做好五项准备 从容面对 根据这些问题,求职者必须将自己的简历浓缩成一篇突出重点的自我简介;必须准备一个成功领导团队或证明自己创造能力的案例,以及一个失败教训的案例,这个教训不能是生活中的污点,最好是一个令人难忘的经验教训;准备一下个人兴趣的描述,注意不要赘述太多个人兴趣,以免给面试官造成你不能用心工作的误解;如果你跳转出原来的专业,转入另一行当,必须想方设法说服面试官你有足够的能力和知识胜任工作。对于那些场景式问题,我们只能够通过私下的练习和面试经验来应对。
Here are good answers to some of the tougher questions asked in job interviews. If you can smoothly supply answers like these during the interview, you are bound to make a good impression. 1. What is important to you in a job? Mention specific rewards other than a paycheck for example, challenge, the feeling of accomplishment, and knowing that you have made a contribution. 2. Why do you want to work for this organization? Cite its reputation, the opportunities it offers, and the working conditions. Stress that you want to work for this organization, not just any organization. 3. Why should we employ you? Point to your academic preparation, job skills, and enthusiasm about working for the firm. Mention your performance in school or previous employment as evidence of your ability to learn and to become productive quickly. If the job involves management responsibilities, refer to past activities as proof of your ability to get along with others and to work as part of a team. 4. If we hire you, how long will you stay with us? Answer by saying along these lines: "As long as my position here allows me to learn and to advance at a pace with my abilities." 5. Can we offer you a career path? Reply: "I believe you could, once I know the normal progression within the organization. Can you tell me about it?" The answer may be revealing. 6. What are your greatest strengths? Give a response like one of the following: "I can see what needs to be done and do it", "I'm wiling to make decisions", "I work well with others," "I can organize my time efficiently." 7. What are you greatest weakness? Identify one or two, such as the following:" I tend to drive myself toohard", " I expect others to perform beyond their capacities", " I like to see a job done quickly, and I'm critical if it isn't." Note these weaknesses could also be regarded as desirable qualities. The trick with this question is to describe a weakness so that it could also be considered a virtue. 8. What didn't you like about previous jobs you've held? Discuss the things you didn't like, but avoid making slighting reference to any of your former employers. 9. How do you spend your leisure time? Mention a cross section of interests-active and quiet, social and solitary -- rather just one. 10. Are there any weaknesses in your education or experience? Take stock of your weaknesses before the interview. Practice discussing them in a positive light. You'll find that they are minor when discussed along with all the positive things you have to offer. 11. Where do you want to be five years from now? Saying that you'd like to be president is unrealistic, yet few employers want people who are content to sit still. You might say, "in five years, I'd like to have my boss's job. " If you can't qualify for your boss's job by then, you may not be the fright candidate. 12. What are your salary expectations? If you are asked this at the outset, it's best to say, "Why don't we discuss salary after you decide whether I'm right for the job? "But if the interviewer asks this after showing real interest in you, speak up. She or he will probably try to meet your price. If you need a clue about what to ask for, say, " Can you discuss your salary range with me?" 13. What would you do if....? This question is designed to test your reposes. For example: "What would you do if your computer broke down during an audit?" Your answer there isn't nearly so important as your approach to the problem. And a calm approach is best. Start by saying, "One thing I might do is ..." Then give several alternative choices. 14. What type of position are you interested in? Job titles and responsibilities vary from firm to firm . So state your skills instead, such as "I'm good at figure work," and the positions that require these skills , such as "accounts payable." 15. Tell me something about yourself. Say you'll be happy to talk about yourself, and ask what the interviewer wants to know. If this point is clarified, respond. If not, tell why you feel your skills will contribute to the job and the organization. This question gives you a great opportunity to sell yourself. 16. Do you have any questions about the organization or the job? Employers like a candidate who is interested in the organization.
so this is a perfect time to convey your interest and enthusiasm. Q: How do you rate yourself as a professional? Q: What are your best professional skills? Q: What kind of people do you prefer to work with? Q: What do you think you are worth to us? Q: What make you think you would success in this position? Q: Do you work well under stress or pressure? Q: How do you normally handle criticism? Q: What do you find frustrating in a work situation? Q: How do you handle your conflict with your colleagues in your
work? Q: How do you handle your failure? Q: What provide you with a sense of accomplishment? Q: What is the most important in your life right now? Q: Why? Q: Could you project what you would like to be doing five years
from now? Q: Why do you think you might like to work for our company? Q: You may ask questions about us, if you have any. Tell us about yourself. Why did you leave your last job? Are you willing to relocate? Tell me about your scholastic record. Tell me about your extra-cur-ricular activities and interests.
How would your last boss describe you? What salary are you expecting? A: Can I help you? 有什么事吗? Words & Expressions: interview: 面试 Background: 面试是一种经过精心设计,以交谈和观察为主要手段,以了解被试者素质及有关信息为目的的一种测评方式。 面试就是你与面试官面对面的一种交流,更是你施展才能与特点的好时机,即要让他们了解你,还要让他们相信你才是最理想的人选。与此同时,也是你认识,揣测与了解你面前的主考官的时候,而他很有可能就是你即将的上司或老板。 面试的总目标就是给对方一个好印象,那么你就要预先作好充分准备,通过各种方法去了解所面试公司单位的一些基本情况,猜测可能会被问到的问题,这样回答时思路就会比较清晰,有针对性。上一课我们讲了面试英语中首先要进行的开场白(点击此处进入课堂学习),那么接下来面试官就要听听你的自我介绍了。我们先来看一下下面的对话: A:Good morning. I'm Lydia Shen, the manager of the company. What's
your name please? A:早上好。我是Lydia Shen,这个公司的经理。你叫什么名字。 该介绍自己了,那么在面试中怎么做自我介绍呢?先来看一些背景知识: Background: 面试时需要做自我介绍,这个时候不要细致地谈自己的生活情况或者工作经验,而是要想方设法地让面试官对你有所了解,告诉他一些事情,这些事情应该使你在招聘过程中具有优势。或许你想选取一些有人情味的故事讲给他听,但这么做,你要有把握与面试官的想法吻合。或者可以概述一下最近你干的工作和你正在申请的工作有什么联系,有怎样的帮助,以及你为什么要到这家公司工作等等。特别值得提的是,要举例子,这样你的回答才更具真实性,更容易被接受,才能给对方留下深刻的印象。 或者当面试官让你做自我介绍的时候,你可以主动问一下对方想知道自己哪方面的情况,这样也便于你的回答更加有针对性。但是这种做法的前提是你对面前的这个面试官有一定的把握,确信这样追问不会引起对方的反感才行。 有了这些背景知识,我们再掌握一些基本的单词和常用的句型来帮助我们理解对方的话和组织语言表达清楚自己的意思就足够了: Words & Expressions: part-time job: 兼职工作 I: Where is your birthplace? C: I was born in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. I: Where is your native place? C: My native place is Tianjin. I: Are you a resident of Beijing now? C: Yes. I have been living in Beijing since my childhood. I: Where is your domicile place? C: My domicile place is Taiyuan. I: What is your nationality? C: I'm Chinese. I: What is your nation? C: My nation is the Han. I: How large is your family? C: There are four of us including my parents, a younger sister and me. I: Do you spend much time talking with your family? C: Yes. It's said there's a generation gap in the world today, but I don't think this is the case at our house. We all work at taking time to talk with each other. Especially at mealtime, we all eat and talk together. Meals are very lively at our house. I: Your application form said that you have a younger sister. How do you get along with each other? C: We get along well with each other. She is 6 years younger than me, and she is right now studying for college entrance exams. She asks me a lot for advice on how to study and things like that. Besides, we do many things together, such as going swimming, mountain climbing and soon. Words & Expressions: 在对话里出现了以下单词: 除此之外,还有很多词,比如: 掌握这些词以后,我们来看一些相关的背景知识: Background: 当你参加面试时,由于条件所限,主考管们不可能详细地把你介绍给与会者,其他人未必都听清主考管的介绍。这时,求职者为了展示自我,当主考管们介绍你的语音刚落,你可立即接过话头,进行干脆而风趣的补充。如果有人想进一步了解你,要抓住时机,做进一步的介绍。 每个企业和单位都比较看中应聘者的学历,高学历在一定程度上也代表着高能力和高素质。即使你的学历很高,在表达上也应该注意一些技巧,那么学历不是很高的求职者就更要注意如何介绍自己的教育背景了。 先来看一段对话: A:Can I help you? B:Yes. I've come to apply for the position as an office secretary. A:I'm Bridge Zhong, the clerk of Human Resources Department. What's your name, please? B:My name is Lisa Liang. How do you do, Mr. Zhong? A:Can you talk about your education background? B:I graduated from Beijing the No. 4 Middle School in 1996, then I entered China University of Political Science and Law and I graduated in 2000. I gained a B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) degree. A:What department did you study in? B:I was in Department of Political Science. A:And what subjects were you doing? B:Er, we studied the modern Chinese political thoughts, the History of Western Political Thoughts, Comparative political systems, and so on. A:How about your scores at college? B:Well, I got excellent scores on each of them. A:Have you got any honors or rewards? And what is it? B:I got the university scholarship in 1998-1999. 对话看完了,在对话中出现了求职者应聘的职位和面试官的头衔,还有求职者所在的学校,院系,学位,所学课程等词语,相信大家对自己的这些相关知识都很清楚,所以在此就不再多说。我们来看一些有用的单词和词组吧: Words & Expression: 本文出现的词: Background: 工作经历通常包括工作期限、单位、职务等。另外还应具体说明以前所从事工作的性质、职责范围以及所取得的成就,与业务有关的进修培训也可以列出来。描述工作经历最能体现的是人的能力、经验和特点。所以,除非1. 你以前的工作经历与现在申请的职务无关联,2. 你的学历更吸引人,否则工作经历一项应放在简历的最前面。在说明自己的工作经验的时候由近及远。从目前的工作开始说起,然后往前推。最近的工作最重要,应当说明的最为详细,而且强调你认为最重要的内容。 成就是指你在工作的过程中获得的一些奖项或者技能,也就是说在工作的过程中得到了什么。其实,许多有相同经历的人会得到不同的收获。而考官最感兴趣的是你通过工作所掌握的技巧。因为这种技巧只有干过的人才会知道。而这些技巧会对将来的工作有利。 在了解了这些背景知识以后我们学习起来也比较目的性了,来看对话吧: A:Have you worked as a secretary? B:Yes, I have worked as a secretary in an investment company? A:What are you doing now? B:I'm learning English and I hope I can get more chances. A:Could you tell me what's your last job? B:Of course, I worked at an advertisement Co. Ltd. And I do sales work. A:Would you mind telling me the name of the company? B:OK, the name is Xinyue Internet Co. Ltd. A:Have you got any achievement or received any honor in the company? B:Yes, I was chosen as one of "employees of the month" last year. And as a sales manager I succeeded in raising yearly sales volume by 25%. A:Well, you've done a good work. …… 这样的对话涉及到的是应聘者的职位,成就等相关的词汇,当然根据工作的不同,这些词也会有所不同,很多都是应聘者自身的专业词汇,相信不会太难。在此我们也再列举一些相关的: Words & Expression: Approach / means / method / way: 方法;手段;办法;方式 Corporation: 法人团体;(美)股份有限公司 Firm: 公司;商行;商号 Client: (律师、会计师、社会工作者、建筑师等的)委托人;当事人;客户;(商店的)顾客 Chore: 日常的零星事物;琐事;讨厌或累人的工作 Cash-in-hand: 手中现金 Raise their purchasing power: 提高了购买力如今各个用人单位的语言能力,尤其是外语能力,能懂得一门外语确实在应聘时有一些优势。今天这一讲我们就来讲讲在面试时如何表达自己的语言能力。看下面这段对话: A:You will mainly use English in this job. Do you think you can make yourself understood in English with ease? B:Yes, I think I speak English quite fluently. I've often explained historical places in Xi'an to foreign tourists in English. They say my English is quite good. A:How long have you been learning English? B:Oh, more than ten years. I started learning English when I was still in a primary school from a foreign teacher. A:Well, perhaps that's the reason why you are so fluent in it. B:Thank you. 对话中出现几个单词值得大家注意: Ease: 安逸,安心。但是在这段对话中是指轻松,灵活地说英语。 Fluently: 流利地,通畅地 还有很多其他相关的单词和词组: Words & Expression: American: 美国人,美国的 French: 法国人,法语,法国的 German: 德国人,德语,德国的 Japanese: 日本的,日语,日本人 Spanish: 西班牙人,西班牙语,西班牙的 …… 目前用人单位普遍对英语水平要求较高,还有一些需要小语种人才,而这个要求更多地是使用语言交流沟通的能力,它当然跟聊天不一样,如果你能外国朋友很好地聊天,并不代表你能适应这份工作,来看一些背景知识: Background: 口语和聊天相比,有具有以下几个明显的特点:一是主题的明确性。面试时的口语有一个明确的中心,应试者必须按照招聘单位指定的中心内容进行论述的交谈。不像日常聊天那样经常转换话题,话题具有不可预测性,如果应聘时口语离开中心漫无边际地乱扯,或者答非所问,即使讲的头头是道,也只能以失败而告终。二是表达的逻辑性。日常的聊天往往是句式松懈、重复累赘、条理不清、颠三倒四,而求职面试的口语则必须讲究表达的逻辑性,要求概念清晰、语意连贯、层次分明、推理严密、言之有据。三是词语的文雅性。日常聊天经常使用俚语、谚语、歇后语等,具有俚俗性、俏皮性特点。而求职面试时使用的口语必须庄重、文雅、充分体现出求职者高雅的气质和高尚的风貌。四是较强的表演性。日常聊天时的口语对语音、语调的要求并不高,语言中的弱化、模糊和脱离现象经常出现。而求职面试时的口语既要求语言规范、清晰,又要求其语调富于变化,也就是说,在口语的表达上要求有较强的表现力,富有表演性。面试时我们最想向面试官展现的就是我们的能力了,那么一个人的能力到底是什么呢?通常我们理解为工作能力,技术能力等等,其实不仅仅是这些。我们先来看看关于个人能力的背景知识: Background: 个人能力集中表现在社会荣誉、工作业绩、科研成果、著作等,这里最主要的是著作和工作成果。 著作包括所有出版过的书,发表过的论文。这一项对科研、学术工作者尤为重要。如果内容与所申请的职位密切相关,作者不仅应列入其中,而且可扼要介绍作品内容、社会影响和效果。面试时,应带上作品的原件或复印件。 了解到到底什么是个人能力以后,我们再来看一段对话: A:Would you talk about your merits? B:Yes, sir. When I was the sales manager of Beijing Friendship Store, I succeeded in raising yearly sales volume by 25% at profit margins of from 50% to 80%. A:Have you received any honors or rewards? B:Yes. I got the title of “Advanced Worker” in 1992 and 1994. A:Do you have any publications? B:Yes. My book entitled A Preliminary Survey of Controlling Inflation was published by China Finance Publishing House in 1993. 对话中出现了一些词组用法和单词: Words & Expressions: Beijing Friendship Store: 北京友谊商店 Succeed in: 成功 sales volume:销售量 Advanced Worker:先进工作者 A Preliminary Survey of Controlling Inflation:抑制通货膨胀初探 China Finance Publishing House:中国金融出版社 通常我们在写完简历之后都会加注一些自己的性格和兴趣爱好之类的内容,而这些内容也是进行面试时经常会提到的话题,尤其是在英语面试的时候,面试方通常会问:How do you spend your spare time? 性格和兴趣能在面试的时候给你的面试官留下好的印象,为什么不努力来说好呢?今天我们就一起来学习面试英语的最后一讲:如何表达自己的性格和兴趣爱好。下面先来看一段对话吧: A:Do you have any hobbies? What is it or what are they? B:I am interested in watching TV or other relaxing games. A:How do you spend your spare time? B:I usually read or so some sports. A:What kind of book are you interested in? B:My favorite books are those about detectives. A:Well, those books are really good. I like them too. Do you think you are introverted or extroverted? B:In fact, I wouldn't call myself extroverted. Sometime I enjoy being by myself very much. But other times, I like sharing activities with others too, especially during these last few years. A:What kind of sports do you like? B:I like almost all sports, and I enjoy both playing and watching. I especially like tennis and mountain climbing. A:What kind of personality do you think you have? B:Well, I approach things very enthusiastically, I think, and I don't like to leave anything half-done. It makes me nervous- I can't concentrate on anything else until the first thing is finished. …… 介绍自己的性格和兴趣爱好肯定少不了这方面的词汇和词组,对话中也出现了不少,现在我们来学习一些相关的单词和词组吧: Words & Expression: Hobby: 爱好,尤其指业余爱好 Spare time: 空闲时间,业余时间 Be good at: 擅长 Favorite: 最喜欢的,特别喜欢的,中意的 Detective: 侦探,侦探的;在对话中指侦探小说 Performance: 表演,演出 Ballet: 芭蕾舞 Introverted: 内向的,含蓄的,闭关自守的 Extroverted: 外向的,喜社交的 Personality / character / disposition / temperament: 个性,性格 Characteristic: 独特的,特有的,表示特性的 Enthusiastically: 热心地,狂热地 还有很多词就要靠大家自己去掌握了。接着我们来说明一下在简历中或者面试时介绍自己的性格和兴趣爱好的好处: Background: 个人的兴趣爱好其实主要体现在业余活动上,对于刚入社会的学生来说,业余活动主要就是课外活动。 课外活动包括社会活动和业余爱好。 丰富多彩的课外活动表示你希望丰富自己的社会经验,发挥多方面的才能。通过你所参加的课外活动,可以看出你的交际能力、价格修养、成熟程度和健康状况。比如说你当学生会主席的经历能够表明你人缘好、善处人际关系、有领导才能等。 因此,如果你曾参加什么课外活动,就如实写出来。这些活动可以帮助雇主了解你,成为有利的条件。课外活动对于刚刚走出校门的朋友来说,是找工作时的一个相当重要的条件。 首先要声明的是,为人处世要诚实,这个原则无可争议。但求职者的面试,则属于一种比较特殊的情况,需要采取一定的谈话技巧。比如人事经理问你:Why did you leave your last job?(你为什么要辞去以前的工作),如果按照诚实原则,应当回答:我跟经理合不来,他快把我逼疯啦,我必须离开(请看下面)。但是这样回答之后,你肯定会给人事经理留下一个坏印象:这家伙可能是一个不太合群的人,他既然跟以前的上级合不来,说不定跟以后的上级也合不来。 My manager and I could not get along. He was driving me crazy and I needed to leave. 对于这个问题,正确的回答方法是:不要提及前任公司、前任经理的任何缺点,你可以随便找一个其它方面的理由,比如公司太远,上下班不方便等。在面试方面,我个人认为,最重要的一个原则不是诚实,而是适度的恭维(moderate flattery),也就是适度地恭维你想应聘的那家公司。因此对于这个问题,按照恭维原则,应当回答:以前那家公司太小,没有什么前途(请看下面),以此恭维应聘公司是一家大公司,适合留在这里长期工作。 It was a small company, not what I wanted in terms of my future. 再比如,人事经理问你:Why haven't you found a job by now?(为什么你直到现在还没有找到工作),如果按照诚实原则,应当回答:现在找工作太难啦,我看上人家,人家却看不上我。而按照恭维原则,应当回答:我对我以前的工作不太满意,所以我辞职之后进修去了,参加了一些培训,读了一些书,现在我终于知道我应当去哪里了(请看下面),以此恭维应聘公司是一个有档次的地方,只有那些知书达理的人,才会认识到它的价值。 I was unhappy in my career and took time out to take some classes and read some books, and now I know where I'm going. 当然,这个问题也可以这样回答:我对选择工作是非常挑剔的,我不想随便找一个没有挑战性的工作(请看下面),以此恭维应聘公司是一个有挑战性的地方。 I have been very selective in looking for the right job and I don't want to settle for one in which I will find myself unchallenged. 最后,如果人事经理问你:What kind of salary are you seeking?(你想要多少薪水),如果按照诚实原则,应当回答:我想要5000大洋(这种回答是面试的大忌),而按照恭维原则,应当回答:I'll consider the best offer you can make.(我会考虑您能提供的最高薪水),以此恭维应聘公司有鉴赏力和洞察力,能够根据一个职员的能力和经验,支付相应的报酬。 总之,社会是复杂的,书本上的原则,不一定完全适合社会。希望上面这些经验之谈能对那些初次接触社会的年轻朋友们有所帮助。 应聘者在参加英语面试前大都作过充分的语言知识的准备与练习。那么在众多的英语语法规则中为什么要单独强调时态的运用呢?其一是因为由于和汉语的表达习惯不同(汉语中动词没有时态变化),这是一个口语中极其常见的错误。但同时来说,时态又是比较基本的语法点,一旦用错,会让面试官对面试者的英语能力产生质疑。其二是因为在面试过程中,往往会涉及到很多关于个人经历,教育背景,工作经验,职业规划等方面的问题,因此在表述某件事情或是某个想法的时候,一定要注意配合正确的时态,否则就会造成差之毫厘,失之千里的后果。例如:你已经参加过某项专业技能培训与你正在参加或计划参加就是完全不同的。 技巧二:尊重个人及文化差异 任何面试都带有一定程度的主观性。也就是说面试官是否欣赏你也可能成为最后的决定性因素。因此在英语面试的过程中,应当尽量避免由于对英语语言的驾驭能力不足,而引发的不敬甚至冒犯。 具体而言,主要有两种做法要特别注意避免。首先是要避免使用过于生僻的单词,或是地方俚语之类接受群体相对比较小的表达方式。因为这种表达方式很有可能造成听者的困惑与曲解。 其次则是要避免过多,过于主观地谈及宗教文化或时事政治方面的问题。不少面试者出于第一项提到的急于展示英语水平的目的,或是想给面试官留下深刻印象的目的,常常会犯这个错误。 在英语面试中,面试官很有可能来自不同的国家与地区,有一定的个人倾向。因此作为面试者,在不了解情况的状态下,如果谈到此类话题,谨慎而有节制的发言才是上上策。 技巧三:以英语为载体,展示工作才能 一般而言,对于非英语专业要求的工作,面试常常主要是英语口试形式。但是要注意的是这与英语考试的口试不同,面试人员通常是由公司的人事主管,应聘部门主管或公司高层组成,他们更关心和器重的是你的专业知识和工作能力,而英语此时只是一种交流工具,或者说是你要展示的众多技能中的一种,因此要切忌为说英语而说英语,有些人就怕自己的英语减分,为了希望给面试官留下英语水平高的印象,常常会大量的使用事先准备好的花哨的词汇及句式,而真正针对面试官所提问题的、与工作有关的个人见解却很少,内容空泛,逻辑混乱。最后除了得到一句英语不错的夸奖之外,恐怕很难有理想的收获。因为在漂亮英语和聪明头脑之间,面试官总是会选择后者的。 以上所谈三点技巧,相信你已经熟记于心了。此外别忘了,任何面试中,整洁的衣着,大方的仪态一定是会助你一臂之力的。 再次回到北京,又让我第二次领教了找工作的不容易。因为有了一点工作经验,想找一份投资方面的工作,而且自己学的是金融,也不想放弃自己的专业。但是谈了几个单位,愿意要我的工资都很少,而我中意的都看不上我,嫌我的条件不好。于是,就在北京漂了有半年之久,2005年春节过后。终于找到了一份新的工作,在一家IT的外包公司做项目。其实这份工作跟我的专业基本上不沾边,但是因为这是我所面试的公司里给得最多的,而且上班离我住的地方很近,所以就进去了。 所谓的项目,就是给一家世界500强的IT公司做渠道方面的管理。虽然对这份工作十分陌生,但是因为自己领悟能力比较强,而且大部分工作时数据方面的处理和数据库的应用,所以自己很快就上手了。因为我们的客户是美国的公司,所以自己在英语方面得到了一些提高,而且平时的工作要求也类似于外企,所以为自己后来的几次面试打下了基础。 在这家公司干了大概一年的时间,我又准备换工作了。因为打算买房子,所以想多挣点钱,而且因为又和外企打交道的经验,所以就打算换一家外企去试试。于是就开始了又一轮的面试经历。而这次定位的基本上都是一些大公司。 不久就通过fesco接到了几个面试的电话。第一家公司三星。地点是在国贸桥东南角的赢佳中心。但是自己对外企面试基本上没有什么经验,只是在网上看了一些关于面试的材料,就去了。记得面试的是PM部门,一个部长,还有部门里的一个老职员。韩国公司很实际,简单的介绍了一下工作内容,跟我上一份工作比较接近,但是突出了一点,工作量很大,周末经常要加班;然后问了我一些以前的工作的内容,没有外语能力的测试,而且部长也是中国人。最后问了一下薪金要求。我想这次的面试大概就坏在我提的工资要求了。我当时要求最少4K,而且要又加班费。可能但是自己太乐观了,结果就是这次面试game over了。后来觉得,韩国企业和欧美企业的工资,不是一个标准的。 第二家公司Nokia。地址在太平洋盈科中心。以前听说过进Nokia的大楼很麻烦,得有人接才能进去。(后来面试多了,发现大公司好像都这样)。而这一次的面试,只有一个人,也是部门经理,简单的自我介绍以后就是全英文的面试环境。从自我介绍到离职原因,工作内容。我当时就傻了,虽然自己也准备了一些,但是对这样的全英文环境根本适应不了。磕磕碰碰的说到一半的时候,那个经理听不下去了。直接告诉我这份工作对英语的要求很高,如果英语不方便,可以用中文回答,但是明显能感到这已经是在敷衍了。我勉强回答了几个问题,然后想问一些工作的内容的时候,直接被这个经理给拒绝了。她告诉我很抱歉,不能告诉我工作要做些什么。可以想象,我是怎么灰溜溜的出了Nokia大楼的。经过这次教训以后,我开始练习口语,至少面试的时候不能太寒碜了。在这之间,又接到一家公司的面试,而这家公司,是一家日本公司OMRON。地址在建外sohu。第一面的时候很顺利,和营业部的经理没聊多久,因为我之前他已经面试了几个人了,所以到我的时候显得有点疲惫,我们没聊几句,他告诉我觉得我还比较合适,也告诉我以后工作的一些规划;但是因为只有一个名额,而符合条件的除了我,还有另一个女孩;所以决定性的还有一轮面试,但是是和他的老板来面试。而且提醒我可能会用到日语。当时我的日语刚过完3级,先面试交流是根本不可能的。但是我又不想失去这次机会,于是我想起来以前认识的一个北大的日本留学生,为了准备这次面试,特地让他教了我一些简单的口语对话,并写在纸上背了下来。然后就去第二轮的面试。结果这次面试,让我真正领教的日本公司的企业文化,严谨和对人的要求。面试我的是一个40多岁的经理,男性,第一感觉很严肃;手拿我的简历看的很仔细,然后告诉我,自我介绍,从高中开始!我当时有点愣了,可是这才是开头。接下来,不停的关于我的简历和自我介绍开始发问,问我为什么这么好的学校毕业,工作经历却不怎么样;对以前的公司不怎么了解,说明我是个不用心的人;而且职业经历不够稳定,还有一段空白期。这样的面试持续了一个小时之久,然后,才问到一些日语的问题。但是这个经理显然知道3级的真实水平,我所准备的东西出了自我介绍之外,都没有用上。面试终于结束了,出门的时候,正是4月底的天气,我发现自己的上衣都湿了,有史以来最痛苦的一次面试。结果,当然又是没有结果。因为我自己都感觉到,我这样子是不符合OMRON用人标准的。不过他们的薪金还不错,之前曾在网上看到我,一年18个月薪金,后来也确实从相关人士那里得到了证实。只可惜,与我无缘。 后来,又接到IBM的面试电话。但经历了这几次面试之后,对于这样的电话已经不会感到惊喜了。主要是要自己适合的才行。面试地点就在Nokia的边上;而这一次,是部门的一个职员和我聊的,找一个作项目的,没具体明说,他们想要一个研究生,但是HR却给他们推荐了我的简历,所以基本上也就是见见面而已了。不过这个姐姐和我谈了一些东西,告诉我现在的外企,和国企也没太大的区别了,同样的讲资历,讲学历。言下之意就是说我这样子的是达不到要求的。 面了那么多次以后,自己有点着急了,因为眼睁睁看着机会一个一个的失去,工作还没有着落,而自己已经辞职一个多月了。就在这时候,又接到了Motorola的面试通知。面试是在moto二楼的一个饭厅里进行的。(这也是后来进去之后才知道这原来就是个饭厅)。因为有了之前的几次经历,对于这样的面试已经没什么问题了,基本上是兵来将档,不行就撤。聊的还是以前的工作。一个主管一样的女士详细的问了问以前的工作。也考了一些英语的口语,自我介绍呀,职业规划呀等等。因为面试的时候已经接近饭点了,所以没聊多久就结束了。第一次面试是在5.1以前,5.1以后去第二次得面试。而这一次,我才知道这个职位只是临时的,一起去面试的有3个女孩,不过其中一个告诉我她已经接到别的公司的offer了,所以无所谓了。面试我的是一个香港老板,普通话基本上听不清。聊了几句就让我回家等消息。 在一个多月绝望的等待之后,他们答应要我了。 我想说的是,我面试的这些公司大部分都是以contractor的身份来给offer的,这也是我最后还是从moto走了的原因。欧美企业比较喜欢用这样的方式来招人。而在经历了一段contractor的经历之后,我感觉,还是要做真正的employee才行。 于是,我又失业了,还在继续找工作。最近面试的一家公司是canon,到目前还没有消息。估计也不会再有消息了。路还在走,如果你和我一样有过同样的经历,欢迎一起讨论。还有,我想说的是,我的专业是金融,但现在我所做的工作,已经和我的专业相去甚远了。 来源:天涯社区
