上一期我们讨论了面试英文的基本要求,这次我们来谈谈面试中最常问的题目以及如何对答为妥。问:Tellmeaboutyourself.答:IwasbornandraisedinDalian,China.IattendedtheUniversityofBeijingandreceivedmymaster'sdegreeinEconomics.Ihaveworkedfor5yearsasafinancialconsultantinBeijingforvariouscompaniesincludingRossiConsultants,People'sInsuranceofChinaandPepsi.Ienjoyplayingsoccerinmyfreetimeandtraveling.答:I'vejustgraduatedfromtheUniversityofTorontowithadegreeinComputersScience.Duringthesummers,Iworkedasasystemsadministratorforasmallcompanytohelppayformyeducation.评语:这个问题的目的是想大概地了解你,所以无需讲太多细节的东西。你的回答通常会帮助面试官决定下个问题问什么。除了给对方一个整体的印象,最重要的是着重讲和工作有关的经验。工作经验是大多数面试中最重要的环节,比学历更重要。问:Whattypeofpositionareyoulookingfor?答:I'minterestedinanentrylevel(beginning)position.答:I'mlookingforapositioninwhichIcanutilizemyexperience.答:IwouldlikeanypositionforwhichIqualify.评语:对于一个英语非母语的申请人,许多公司期望你能从低做起,慢慢弥补语言方面的不足。就算你以前很成功有多年经验,也应当有这个心理准备。问:Areyouinterestedinafull-timeorpart-timeposition?答:Iammoreinterestedinafull-timeposition.However,Iwouldalsoconsiderapart-timeposition.评语:尽量留最大的余地争取机会。因为只要工作拿到了,以后的事情就容易把握,主动性大多了。问:Canyoutellmeaboutyourresponsibilitiesatyourlastjob?答:Iadvisedcustomersonfinancialmatters.AfterIconsultedthecustomer,Icompletedacustomerinquiryformandcataloguedtheinformationinourdatabase.Ithencollaboratedwithcolleaguestopreparethebestpossiblepackagefortheclient.TheclientswerethenpresentedwithasummarizedreportontheirfinancialactivitiesthatIformulatedonaquarterlybasis.评语:提到过往工作经验时,注意越详细越好。新移民最容易犯的错误之一是讲过去经历时太过笼统。雇主是想知道你到底做什么以及你做得怎么样,你讲得越详细,他们就越能知道你是否在行。你可以换着用一些不同的词汇来形容,而且尽量不要每句话都用“I”开头。记得用过去时态。问:Whatisyourgreateststrength?答:Iworkwellunderpressure.Whenthereisadeadline(atimebywhichtheworkmustbefinished),Icanfocusonthetaskathand(currentproject)andstructuremyworkschedulewell.IrememberoneweekwhenIhadtoget6newcustomerreportsoutbyFridayat5.Ifinishedallthereportsaheadoftimewithouthavingtoworkovertime.答:Iamanexcellentcommunicator.Peopletrustmeandcometomeforadvice.Oneafternoon,mycolleaguewasinvolvedwithatroublesome(difficult)customerwhofelthewasnotbeingservedwell.Imadethecustomeracupofcoffeeandinvitedbothmycolleagueandtheclienttomydeskwherewesolvedtheproblemtogether.答:Iamatroubleshooter.Whentherewasaproblematmylastjob,themanagerwouldalwaysaskmetosolveit.Lastsummer,theLANserveratworkcrashed.Themanagerwasdesperateandcalledmein(requestedmyhelp)togettheLANbackonline.Aftertakingalookatthedailybackup,IdetectedtheproblemandtheLANwasupandrunning(working)withinthehour.评语:不用谦虚,充满自信地把自己最好的方面都抖出来。记得要给一些具体的例子,举例时变化用词。问:Whatisyourgreatestweakness?答:Englishismygreatestweakness,becauseeducationproblem,sincethechildhoodpronunciationisnotstandard,butIwasworkinghardtocorrectandimprovethelevelofEnglish,forexample,everydayIwilllistentoEnglishlistening,watchingAmericantelevision,recitethewords,ibelieveicanmakeagreatprogramonit。答:Sometimesinordertopursuetheefficientwork,willbecommittederrors,butthroughtheguidance,Ilaterineachmissiondonewillc...
