面試中最常問的英文題目及應(yīng)答策略
。你的回答通常會幫助面試官決定下個問題問什么。除了給對方一個整體的印象，最重要的是著重講和工作有關(guān)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)是大多數(shù)面試中最重要的環(huán)節(jié)，比學(xué)歷更重要。問: What type of position are you looking for?
答: I'm interested in an entry level (beginning) position.
答: I'm looking for a position in which I can utilize my experience.
答: I would like any position for which I qualify.
評語:對于一個英語非母語的申請人，許多公司期望你能從低做起，慢慢彌補(bǔ)語言方面的不足。就算你以前很成功有多年經(jīng)驗(yàn)，也應(yīng)當(dāng)有這個心理準(zhǔn)備。
問: Are you interested in a full-time or part-time position?
答: I am more interested in a full-time position. However, I would also consider a part-time position.
評語: 盡量留最大的余地爭取機(jī)會。因?yàn)橹灰ぷ髂玫搅�，以后的事情就容易把握，主動性大多了�?/p>
問: Can you tell me about your responsibilities at your last job?
答: I advised customers on financial matters. After I consulted the customer, I completed a customer inquiry form and catalogued the information in our database. I then collaborated with colleagues to prepare the best possible package for the client. The clients were then presented with a summarized report on their financial activities that I formulated on a quarterly basis.
評語: 提到過往工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)時，注意越詳細(xì)越好。最容易犯的錯誤之一是講過去經(jīng)歷時太過籠統(tǒng)。雇主是想知道你到底做什么以及你做得怎么樣，你講得越詳細(xì)，他們就越能知道你是否在行。你可以換著用一些不同的詞匯來形容，而且盡量不要每句話都用“I”開頭。記得用過去時態(tài)。
問: What is your greatest strength?
答: I work well under pressure. When there is a deadline (a time by which the work must be finished), I can focus on the task at hand (current project) and structure my work schedule well. I remember one week when I had to get 6 new customer reports out by Friday at 5. I finished all the reports ahead of time without having to work overtime.
答: I am an excellent communicator. People trust me and come to me for advice. One afternoon, my colleague was involved with a troublesome (difficult) customer who felt he was not being served well. I made the customer a cup of coffee and invited both my colleague and the client to my desk where we solved the problem together.
答: I am a trouble shooter. When there was a problem at my last job, the manager would always ask me to solve it. Last summer, the LAN server at work crashed. The manager was desperate and called me in (requested my help) to get the LAN back online. After taking a look at the daily backup, I detected the problem and the LAN was up and running (working) within the hour.
評語: 不用謙虛，充滿自信地把自己最好的方面都抖出來。記得要給一些具體的例子，舉例時變化用詞。
問: What is your greatest weakness?
答: I am overzealous (work too hard) and become nervous when my co-workers are not pulling their weight (doing their job). However, I am aware of this problem, and before I say anything to anyone, I ask myself why the colleague is having difficulties.
答: I tend to spend too much time making sure the customer is satisified. However, I began setting time-limits for myself If I noticed this happening.
評語: 這其實(shí)是一個很巧妙的問題，你要講得出一個其實(shí)是優(yōu)點(diǎn)的缺點(diǎn)，

答: After following your firms progress for the last 3 years, I am convinced that Smith and Sons are becoming one of the market leaders and I would like to be part of the team.
答: I am impressed by the qualitiy of your products. I am sure that I would be a convincing salesman because I truly believe that the Atomizer is the best product on the market today.
評語: 對這個問題你要事前做研究，通過看公司網(wǎng)站，其他有關(guān)信息等。越了解公司，對你越有利。
問: When can you begin?
答: Immediately.
答: As soon as you would like me to begin.
評語: 充分表示你想要工作！
以上只是一些最基本的面試問答。對于英語非母語的人來說，最重要和最難的是用英語講述大量細(xì)節(jié)，尤其是復(fù)雜的細(xì)節(jié)。然而，雇主是很有必要知道你能否把工作范疇內(nèi)的`細(xì)節(jié)表達(dá)清楚，這對你是否勝任至關(guān)重要。不要太過擔(dān)心語法問題。只要用詞夠多，內(nèi)容夠細(xì)，只要不影響理解，語法往往不是那么重要。
面試時招聘人員總會問你："Do you have any questions?"問什么問題，對你的印象分有幫助，顯示你是一個用心的人。一般來說，圍繞著這些話題來問比較得體：
the competitive environment in which the organization operates 公司營運(yùn)所處的競爭環(huán)境
executive management styles 管理高層的風(fēng)格
what obstacles the organization anticipates in meeting its goals 公司在達(dá)到其目標(biāo)過程中預(yù)計(jì)會遇到什么障礙
how the organization's goals have changed over the past three to five years 公司的經(jīng)營方向在過去三到五年內(nèi)有什么變化
第一次面試，或者在雙方未有確定的意向以前，除非是已經(jīng)到了簽OFFER的階段，最好不要問待遇如何。那樣顯得你更關(guān)心公司能為你做什么，而不是你為公司能做什么。
具體來說，你可以問以下問題：
1. What are the main objectives and responsibilities of the position?
2. How does the company expect these objectives to be met?
3. What obstacles are commonly encountered in reaching these objectives?
4. What is the desired time frame for reaching the objectives?
5. What resources are available from the company and what must be found elsewhere to reach the objectives?
上次我們講了在面試時可以問招聘人員的問題，主要是圍繞著對該公司，該行業(yè)的認(rèn)識和發(fā)展來提問。這次我們來看看哪些問題是可以探測面試官對這次面試的印象以及有沒有下一步安排。
1. Have you had a chance to review my resume?
別以為這是個多余的問題，事實(shí)上，不少的面試人員事前并沒有看過應(yīng)聘者的簡歷，就匆匆忙忙開始了面談。他們一邊面試一邊看你的簡歷。這個問題是個開場白，如果他們沒有看過你的簡歷，通常也不會承認(rèn)，可能會說：" I haven't had the chance to review it in details as I would like to."(其實(shí)就是一次也沒看過。)不要為此懊喪，沒看過的話，正好可以說，"well, maybe it is helpful for me to talk about the highlights of my qualifications." 就好象一個銷售人員在推銷產(chǎn)品之前，總是問“你對這個產(chǎn)品有什么認(rèn)識/了解嗎？”然后再開始自己的陳述。即使他們說已經(jīng)看過你的簡歷，你一樣可以說："So let me talk about the highlights of my qualifitions."
2. Is there anything else I can tell you about my qualifications?
有可能的話，盡量用"qualifications"代替"experience"。前者代表了取得的成績，更加突出了你是有才之士，相比之下后者比較中性，被動。問這個問題，有益無害，只要面試官說Yes，你就有更多的機(jī)會把最好的料子亮出來。越能讓對方說Yes，你在他們眼中就越有價值，留下的印象越深。這是在首次和第二次面試中值得問的問題(假設(shè)面試總共有三次的話)。
3. I've read the job description, of course, but how would you describe the nature and duties of this job?
