第七節 外企麵試最常見的36個英文問題(9)
點評1： 職位不穩定， 薪水不能保證， 這的確是份糟糕的工作。不過， 別忘記告訴麵試官， 這可不是你的錯兒。
回答示範2： I have to work six days a week in my current job. You know it’s against the Labor Law but it’s the normal practice in many factories in Dongguan. It would be quite alright for me to work on Saturday occasionally, but certainly not every Saturday.
點評2： 很真實的回答。如果是我， 早就從這個每周六都要上班的鬼單位辭職了。人權哪， 同誌們， 尤其是珠三角一帶的同誌們， 讓我們齊聲高唱： 起來， 起來， 不願意一周幹六天的人們， 冒著老板冷冷的眼神， 辭職， 辭職， 辭職！
回答示範3： The worst part of my current job is that it’s too quiet. As it’s a branch liaison office it only has five people. And I don’t have enough workload. Sometimes I have little to do for the whole week! I really feel bored of working there. I’d like to have a busier job. You know, more responsibilities, more sense of achievement.
點評3： 因為工作太清閑而辭職， 這樣的人兒誰不愛？No work, no future. 年輕的你就應該忙碌起來。
16. What were some of your achievements in your last job? 在上一份工作中， 你有哪些成就？
問題分析： 一個顛撲不破的麵試哲學是： 在上一份工作中有成就的， 才有可能在新工作中有成就。在回答這個問題的時候， 一般要遵守一個原則： 用事實與數字說話。
回答示範1： I was named “Employee of the Year,” for the highest level of accuracy of all 18 bank tellers last year.
點評1： 一個言簡意賅而又強大的回答： 既說出了所得到的獎勵， 而且列出了獲獎原因， 同時又告訴麵試官自己在18人中是最佳的。
回答示範2： I increased sales approximately 100% in three years. Last year I personally sold 1.5 million Yuan worth of services and was ranked number 2 in the entire company among 14 sales reps.
點評2： 如果是做銷售的同誌， 隻能用數字來說明自己的業績。
回答示範3： I suggested to my boss that we should create a new type of customer satisfaction survey. This suggestion was applied later and effectively reduced customer complaints.
點評3： 對於沒有得到過什麽獎勵的申請人， 一個比較好的辦法就是告訴麵試官， 自己的一個好建議被老板采納， 取得了非常不錯的效果。
17. What were some of the disappointments in your last job? 在上一份工作中， 你比較失望的地方或者失敗是什麽？
問題分析： 這個問題相當棘手。太真實可能會嚇壞麵試官， 太虛偽又沒法令人相信。比較好的應對方式是， 給對方列舉一些非致命的失敗， 同時， 這些失敗是由於自己所訂立的目標比較高。
普通回答： Disappointments? There were some. I couldn’t get an A in the annual evaluation. I got B, which was not bad, but certainly not good enough.
點評： 這個回答太圓滑， 明顯在利用“失敗”誇自己向來高標準嚴要求。麵試官最不喜歡這種自作聰明的人。
回答示範： I failed to achieve the sales target last year, I sold a million and a half but the target was two million. Our Beijing headquarters is having some problems and can’t provide effective pre-sales support for us. Failing to reach the target is a big disappointment for me.
