求職擇業指南

第七節 外企麵試最常見的36個英文問題(5)

點評2: 這個回答符合我們一貫強調的“個性化”和“誇讚自己”兩個原則。

8. How did you finance your college education? 你大學的費用是怎麽樣支付的?(家裏供還是自己打工?)

問題分析: 很顯然, 和中國麵試官相比, 老外更加青睞在大學就有賺錢能力的候選人, 並堅持認為他們的獨立性和能力比完全依賴父母的候選人要強得多。

回答示範: So far, my tuition and living expense are around 40,000 RMB. My parents offer two thirds of it and I pay the rest of it. I have been granted scholarship three times, making 5,000 RMB in total. Teaching and other part-time jobs made another 5,000.

點評: 很真實的回答, 同時也體現了自己的學習成績好和社團活動很積極的優點。

三、 Experience 關於工作經驗的問題

9. Would you briefly describe this company to me? 介紹一下你的原單位, 好嗎?

問題分析: 當老外提出這個問題的時候, 他心裏的疑問是: “這個公司我從來沒有聽說過, 是否是個名不見經傳的小公司?”所以, 在向老外介紹自己工作單位的時候, 要著重強調公司的優點, 規模大的強調規模, 人數多的強調人數。如果你所在的公司業務總量很小, 你可以告訴麵試官, 業務總量不大但是平均到每個員工的業務量卻相當驚人!

回答示範: “廣盛發”, the name means “a big, prosperous company”, hehe, although it’s not really a very big company. But, it’s true that the company is quite prosperous. It specializes in exporting women’s shoes. With only 10 employees so far the turnover last year was up to 15,000,000 RMB. I am one of the three customer service officers, with the responsibility of order taking, tracking and general customer service roles. Due to the limited number of staff, we all work more than 10 hours a day, 7 days a week in busy season.

點評: 很明顯, 這個回答既體現了自己原來的公司的規模, 也暗示了自己能夠適應繁忙工作的特點。

10. Would you describe your typical working day? 請你描述一下自己典型的一天的工作吧。

問題分析: 在這個問題上, 麵試官希望捕捉到的信息點是: 第一, 這個家夥原來幹的工作和我們現在這份工作到底有多少是類似的?第二, 他在原來工作單位表現到底怎麽樣?所以, 在描述自己的工作內容時, 要注意突出兩個信息點: 第一, 用事實突出自己繁忙並且業績不錯的優點; 第二, 要著意強調一下和所申請工作類似的內容。

回答示範: Yes. I would arrive at office half an hour earlier as my boss often gives me a lot of work once he comes in, and I have to be ready for it. My responsibilities are mainly to assist the sales manager and representatives with order tracking, stock reporting, document preparation and translation, using Excel, Word and PowerPoint. When the reps are on a business trip, I will deal with their share. Two thirds of my work involves computers, working on tables and forms precisely and quickly. The rest of time is to take care of the managers and reps, you know, do what they need me to.

點評: 用事實說明自己是個敬業的人。在描述工作內容的時候, 有細節性描述, 也有總結性描述, 非常清晰。

11. Why do you want to leave your job? 你為什麽要離職?
