第二篇:英语电话面试技巧
英语电话面试技巧
很多外企在当面的面试之前会有一个电话英语面试,时间一般在20-30分钟左右,用以核实求职者的背景和英文表达力。新东方求职面试英语研究专家冯颙建议,求职者在投递简历以后要做好各种充分的准备。
准备几个基本问题
如果你提前知道了电话面试的时间,则可以在面试时把简历、coverletter放在你旁边的桌子上,直接运用里面的句子回答问题。一些基本的问题,你可以事先准备好答案。通常,在电话英语面试的时候会提道:
·Please tell me something unreflected at yourC.V./about yourself/your
experience/your activities.谈谈你简历中没有提及的一些事情/谈谈你自己/你的经历/你参与的活动。
·An example of team work.举出一个你参与团体合作的例子。
·Why do you choose this position?你为什么选择这个职位。
·Why should we hireyou?为什么我们应该雇用你?
·开放式讨论如In formation Technology(信息技术)或者the role of university insociety(大学的社会角色)等,主要考查求职者的思维方式。
·自由提问。求职者可以事先准备一些问题去询问面试官。
听不清时怎么办
如果有话语没有听清楚,求职者不必紧张,可以镇定地请求再说一遍。可以用到的句子:
·pardon?请再说一遍
·Would you please simplify the question?您能把这个问题说得简单些吗?·Would you please say iti nother words?您能用别的话来表达您的意思吗?·Would you please speak a little bit louder?I can not hear you
clearly.您说话声音能大一点好吗?我听不清楚。
如何应对突袭电话面试
当你正在球场或者公交车上突然接到了面试电话,此时没有任何准备,建议你首先试探看看是否可以给你个准备时间稍后再进行电话面试。可以用到的句子:
·May I call you back half an hour l ater?May I have your phone numberand recall you?
如果可以赢得时间,你应该马上赶回去,摊开资料写出一个提纲,从容应答。如果对方不同意推迟时间,你应该马上找个安静的地方坐下来开始回答。(如果你曾经花时间去寻找一份工作,你可能有过一到两次的电话面试的经历。如果你没有,那么你很有可能会尝试到这种更加有效率的方式,因为越来越多的公司开始通过电话筛选的方式来遴选候选人。
虽然面试对那些经理人来说是一件很琐碎的事情,不过知道怎么去应对一次电话面试是至关重要的,因为这可能是寻找工作过程中的决定因素。当你希望你的经验与技术能够为你带来一次面对面的面试机会时,有必要确信你在电话中的无礼或者准备不充分不会阻碍你面试机会的出现。
电话面试的技巧
虽然下面这些电话面试的技巧看上去很简单,但是这有助于使你头脑清醒并提醒你在电话面试中什么是该做的什么是不该做的,以便你不会因为忘记了其中一个要点而丧失了一个很棒的机会。
技巧 1 : 环境
确保你的面试是环境安静的,这样你就不会被弄得心绪不宁或被打断,而且还要保证电话是通的。
很明显,你不应该打算在工作的时候接受一次电话面试。如果面试必须在中午进行,那么你应该让自己尽量少的离开办公室。如果在家里闲着,要确定你的家人是理解你的,让你占用电话并且在你面试的时候不会被打搅。把宠物都放到门外面去,并且关上你办公室的门。如果你能避免别人在电话呼叫中的等待,最好就这么做。
还有记住不要关掉你的移动电话。
技巧 2 : 工具
在手边放一支钢笔和一张纸。你可能回在面试的时候记上一点东西。而且钢笔要能够写,更好一点的是在很容易拿到的地方放上一两支备用的。
把你的履历表是放在你的正前方,同时准备一份你要问面试者的问题的清单。你还需要整理出一份你所掌握的技术的列表,连同它们相应的时间和地点,这就让你实力一目了然。
在你的桌子附近放一面镜子来提醒你保持微笑也是一个好主意。如果在整个电话中你的面部表情一直是微笑,那么你将给人更多积极的乐观的印象。不管怎样,不要闹出笑话。因为没有了肢体语言的优势,你的幽默很容易被误解。
技巧 3 : 声音
说话要清楚,不要说的太急。感到紧张是很自然的,但是要试着让自己慢慢放松。如果你说的太急,面试者将会很难听懂你的意思。一旦你感觉到很紧张,而且在说某些话时无法继续下去,最好停下来,深深的吸一口气,然后说:“对不起,请让我再来一次。”没有人会因为这些细微的紧张就给你下定论。不过你千万不要让紧张的情绪控制住了自己。
技巧 4 : 答案
认真的听你被问到的问题。注意面试者的用词,他(她)所说的大部分都是专业术语吗?要让你的答案显示你对那些专业术语是如此的熟悉--但同时也要让他(她)知道你可以跟普通人交流。不要让你的回答局限于行话之中--要让面试者可以评价你和普通人交流专业知识的能力。不必担心在回答一个问题之前你需要花一点时间去思考。不过不管怎样,因为面试者不能够看见你,所以你需要给他(她)一些口头的暗示,比如:“我希望能够给你一
个完整的答案,请给我一点时间来整理一下我所想到的。”
技巧 5 :感谢
千万不能忘记,在面试的结束的时候要记得感谢面试者占用了他(她)的时间,而且你还要保证面试者有你正确的电话号码,以便在接下来的几个星期里他(她)能找到你(如果你已经打算去旅游或者要出远门,把日期延迟是相当重要的)。
面试结束后
立即挂上电话,写一份关于面试的简短的感谢信,如果你发电子邮件的话必须在一个小时内发出,如果是发普通信件的话在这一天之内就可以了。
在你的感谢信里面,重申你对占用了面试者的时间的感激以及给一些其它的问题的答复是很重要的。如果你发现在面试的时候你有一个很重要的经历没有被提到,那么这封感谢信将是补充这些附加信息的最好的地方。
一旦邮件发出了,你就把大致可以得到反馈信息的时间在电子邮件日历或者桌子的日历上做一个记号。留意一下,如果在这之后的一个星期内还没有得到任何答复,也不要以为事情已经到了最糟糕的地步。你要知道这可能是因为你的时间表订的太紧了;也有可能是你的面试者现在正忙得不可开交。去打个电话但是不要说太多的话。如果仍然没有音讯的话,下一个电话就需要询问关于进行面对面面试的人选是否已经决定或者你什么时候可以得到答复。如果你能够得到一个预约见面的日期,这证明你就是最好的。
电话面试在找工作时可能是一种威胁--特别是对于那些没有经历过电话面试的管理者或者第一次找工作的人。但是如果你的准备足够充分,你将会坚信自己的能力并且能够通过电话线让别人看到你的才干。
当你能坦然放松地与对方进行电话交谈时,应该将对方单位名称、招聘岗位、你所感兴趣的职位等有弄清楚。若是你不大想去或其招聘条件没有说清楚的单位,可以在答应面试前问及诸如待遇、职位、培训等问题,并做出是否面试的选择;若在接电话前已有了新的工作选择,则应及时告诉对方,若决定接受面试,则详细询问对方面试时间、地点、到达途径、联系人、所需时间(从中可以判断对方对你的兴趣程度)、所需携带材料等情况,并以若找不到电话询问为由要对方的办公电话号码,以便迷失方向时及面试后联系。结束电话之前,一定要感谢对方来电话,显示你的职业修养。

Sometimes companies will ask you for a telephone interview before a face to face one.This is used to narrow down the number of applicants and is especially true in the following cases.When candidates have to travel a long way, in this way the company can cut down on travel expenses.When there are a lot of candidates and when CV screening may not be sufficient;personality may be a key factor in this kind of job.Finally when the job you’ve applied for involves a lot of talking to people on the phone.有 时候,公司会在面对面面试之前,和你进行一次电话面试,这是为了缩小申请者的范围。进行电话面试,也有以下几个原因:当申请者距离面试地点很远的时候,公 司用电话面试的方式可以减少旅途上的开支;当申请者数量太多的时候,通过简历来筛选实在不充分;当个人性格是工作要求的重要指标的时候,电话面试也是判断 申请者是否适合的好方法;最后一点可能原因就是,当这份工作需要你经常接听电话。
If you are calling them, you should have a specific time.Be punctual and call at the precise time.Too early shows you are over enthusiastic and too late shows lack of interest.If you can’t get through, leave a message with the receptionist to show you called at the right time.If they have said they will call you then they might do it at any time.Because of this you need to be ready for a phone interview at a moment’s notice;preparation is vital.Firstly find out as much as you can about the company and the job.Then make a note of any questions you want to ask and have a note book and pen ready along with a copy of your CV.在 你打电话给公司,进行面试之前,要确保你有充足的时间。记住要守时,按照公司要求,准点打电话。过早会显得你过于热情,太迟会让人觉得你不够诚心。如果你 打不通的话,给接线员留下信息,证明你按时拨打电话了。如果公司说,他们会打电话给你,你就要做好准备随时接电话了。因此,你需要随时准备着,准备这个过 程也是至关重要的。首先,搜索关于公司和工作的相关信息,越多越好;然后记录下你想要问的问题;同时随身携带纸笔和你的简历。
Once you are ready to make or receive the call, make sure all TVs and radios are switched off and that you are in a quiet room with the door shut.When talking on the phone your tone of voice is all important.It might help to do a practice interview with a friend or family member.If you tape it you can see how you sound and work on reducing hesitations and the “ums” and “ahs” you use.You can also rehearse answering typical questions such as;“Tell me about yourself”.一 旦你准备接听或拨打面试电话,你要确保你身处一个安静独立的房间,且电视广播等声源都已关闭。电话通话中,你的语音语调是非常重要的。可以提前和亲戚朋友 做做练习。在你准备的过程中,录音可以让你发现如何调整自己的声音,如何减少嗯嗯啊啊的等犹豫语气词的使用次数。你也可以演练一些常见问题,例如:“你是 一个怎么样的人.”
When you answer the phone, announce your name in an enthusiastic way and, throughout the interview, sound interested and energetic.Be succinct, give short answers and don’t go on and on in a long winded fashion.Likewise don’t swear or use colloquialisms or jargon;you might be tempted to, in order to seem cool or fashionable, but don’t!It would be a good idea to have glass of water nearby, in case your throat gets dry, but don’t smoke, eat or chew gum.Speak slowly and clearly and take your time.Use the person’s title, Mr.or Mrs.and their last name, regularly throughout the conversation.Also, use the company’s name from time to time but don’t address the interviewer by his or her first name unless asked to.Smile!This will change the tone of your voice and project a positive image to the listener.接 电话过程中,回答自己名字的时候要热情活力,面试中,要始终听起来对工作报以最大兴趣,且精力充沛。回答问题的时候要简明扼要,不要使用句式繁杂的长句。不要使用宣誓,方言,或行话,即使听起来让人感觉你很酷很时尚,也别这么说。面试时候,可以在旁边放杯水,口渴时候润润喉,不要吸烟,吃东西或嚼口香糖。调整语速,吐词清楚。使用某某先生或女士等称谓,时不时在对话中以此称呼对方,也可以数次提及公司的名字,不过不要去姓留名的称呼对方,除非对方提出你可 以。保持微笑!微笑会改变你的声音,会给面试官留下你积极乐观的印象。
Closing the interview is an important ability in itself.You need to show your enthusiasm at some stage by asking for a date to meet for a face to face interview.If the interviewer doesn’t give a direct answer you could offer to call again at a later date to find out;you have to be keen but not pushy.结束面试本身也大有内容。你需要体现你的热情,询问是否能接到当面的面试。如果面试官没有给你直接答复,你可以说:“下次我再打个电话问一下是否有当面面试的机会吧。”你要表现出来精神面貌是积极进取,而不是一意孤行。
After the interview take notes about what you were asked and how you answered.Send a thank you letter or email which reinforces your interest in the job.面试之后,记录下你被问到的问题和你所做的回答。发出感谢信,这样可以让对方知道你对这份工作真的很有意。

第五篇:如何应对外企英语电话面试
透析外企面试:如何应对电话面试(上)
作者:何光明 来源:快乐英语网
外企招募员工时可能会为了减少招聘成本、提高招聘效率而采用更为快捷的电话面试。多数情况下,用人单位将电话面试视为筛选应聘者的第一道门槛。他们一般会安排人力资源部的专员通过电话对应聘者进行简单的英语面试,以此确认应聘者简历中的基本信息,并对简历中不清楚或不明确的地方进行查实,以便决定是否安排应聘者进入下一轮面试。有时,用人单位也会在第一轮面试之后,采用电话面试的方式对应聘者进行第二轮面试,以确定是否最终录用应聘者。还有些用人单位甚至仅仅使用电话面试来招聘员工。因此,对求职者而言,掌握电话面试的技巧,熟悉常用的电话面试语句,就显得尤为重要。
一般而言,应聘者会被提前告知何时接受电话面试,但有时应聘者也会突然接到用人单位的电话,被要求即时参加电话面试。不论是否预先接到通知,如果应聘者事先做好了充分的准备,那么在电话面试时,至少不会手足无措、乱了方寸。那么针对电话面试,应聘者应当从哪些方面如何做好准备呢?下文将从预测并模拟回答面试问题、如何向主考官提问以及面试前注意事项这三方面为读者提供电话面试的应对策略。
预测并模拟回答面试问题
毫无疑问,预测并模拟回答面试问题是备战任何形式面试的重中之重,电话面试也不例外。应聘者首先要为自己准备好一个简短的自我介绍,关于自我介绍的技巧和范例,读者可以参阅本刊第72期(2009年4月号)的相关文章。之后,按照面试的一般规律,应聘者可以从应聘的公司和职位、应聘者的能力和素质、应聘者的工作经历、应聘者的职业规划和薪资期望以及应聘者的专业技能等角度来预测并模拟回答面试问题。
1.从应聘公司和职位的角度预测问题
应聘者可以通过公司的网站、宣传资料以及公司营业场所来了解应聘公司的所属行业、业务或产品、历史背景、企业文化等。与此同时,对自己要竞聘的岗位也要尽可能熟知。应聘者首先应当研读广告上登载的招聘岗位的职责描述,对其中的每一个要求都要细心琢磨,不懂的地方要咨询内行或上网查询,然后结合岗位职责要求和自己的背景预测主考官可能会问及的面试问题,并进行模拟回答练习。
参考提问:
① Why do you want this job?
② What interests you about this job?
③ What can you bring to this position?
④ What can you do for this company?
⑤ Why should we hire you?
⑥ Why are you the best person for the job?
⑦ What can you contribute to this company?
这七道题实际上属于同一问题,只不过是问法不同。
参考回答:
I’ve been very careful about the companies where I have applied.When I saw the ad for this position, I knew I had found what I was looking for.I can bring to this job my four years of sales experience and knowledge of the industry, plus my ability to communicate and build customer relationships.That, along with my flexibility and organizational skills, makes me a perfect match for this position.I see some challenges ahead of me here, and that’s what I thrive on.I have what you need, and you have what I want.除此之外,与应聘公司和职位相关的问题还有如下几种,读者可以参照前几期同系列文章中的答题思路,结合自己的特长以及应聘公司的具体情况进行回答。例如:
① What do you know about this company?
② How much do you know about our products?
③ What are your views on our product display?
2.从应聘者能力、素质的角度预测问题
与应聘者能力、素质相关的面试问题很多,也是面试问题的主体部分。这部分的面试问题多为常规问题,一般涉及应聘者的个性特征、优缺点、团队精神、沟通能力、时间管理能力、抗压能力、工作动力与热情、决策能力、组织策划能力、解决问题能力、价值观等。
参考提问:
(1)个性特征
Can you tell me a little about your personality?
(2)优缺点
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
(3)团队精神
① What type of people do you work with most effectively?
② Do you prefer to work independently or on a team?
(4)沟通能力
① How did you handle the last conflict at work?
② If you know your boss is 100% wrong about something,how would you handle it?
③Have you had to convince a team to work on a project they weren’t thrilled about? How did you do it?
(5)时间管理能力
① How do you manage your time on a typical day?
②What do you do when your schedule is interrupted? Give an example of how you handle it.③How would you describe the pace at which you work?
(6)抗压能力
How do you handle stress and pressure?
(7)工作动力与热情
① What motivates you?
② What are you passionate about?
(8)决策能力
What do you find are the most difficult decisions to make?
(9)组织策划能力
Tell me about a time when you had to plan and coordinate a project from start to finish.(10)解决问题能力
① Tell me the most difficult problem you’ve ever solved.② Give an example of an occasion when you used logic to solve a problem.(11)价值观
① How do you evaluate success?
② What did you value the most about your previous job?
以上列举的有关应聘者能力和素质的问题,笔者在本刊前几期已发表的相关文章中基本都已经探讨过,读者可以参考其中的应答思路和参考回答。
3.从应聘者工作经历的角度预测问题
在电话面试中,主考官常常会就应聘者简历中的工作经历部分进行提问,一方面可以以此来确认其中的信息是否属实,另一方面也能更好地了解应聘者的条件是否真正满足招聘岗位的要求。这部分问题主要涉及应聘者工作经历中的一些客观事实,相对来说比较容易回答。应聘者在回答这类问题时,应以诚实为本,不要夸夸其谈,而且最好多用实例,以便自己的回答更充分和完满。
参考提问:
① Tell me a little bit about your present position and company.What exactly do you do now?
② What are the main duties and tasks in your current position?
③ What were the main duties and tasks in your last position?
④ Why are you leaving your current job?
⑤ What major challenges and problems did you face in your current/previous job? How did you handle them?
⑥ What was the biggest accomplishment in this position?
⑦ What was the biggest failure in this position?
⑧ What were the best aspects of your previous job?
⑨ What were the worst aspects of your previous job?
⑩ What is the most important accomplishment you have made in your career?
4.从应聘者职业规划和薪资期望的角度预测问题
在电话面试中,应聘者的职业规划和薪资期望也常常是主考官面试提问的主要话题。
参考提问:
(1)职业规划
①How do you see yourself in five years’ time? I mean, what are your goals for the next five years?
② What do you see yourself doing in five years? How do you plan to achieve your goal?
(2)薪资待遇
① What are your salary expectations?
② What kind of salary are you looking for?
③ What kind of salary do you have in mind?
关于此类问题的回答思路和参考回答,读者可以参阅本刊第75·76期(2009年7~8月合刊)中的相关文章。
5.从应聘者专业技能的角度预测问题。
在电话面试中,除了以上四方面的提问以外,主考官还可能会就招聘职位的具体情况向应聘者提一些专业性问题,譬如:财务管理中进行财务分析、成本管理的能力;人力资源管理中进行人力资源规划、管理培训的能力;市场营销管理中管理代理商的能力和市场反应能力;电脑系统管理中进行电脑维修、系统维护的能力等。这些问题的回答涉及专业知识,读者可以根据自己的专业背景和应聘岗位的要求对面试问题进行预测并模拟回答相关问题。
如何向主考官提问
一般而言,主考官在面试的结尾部分会留几分钟时间让应聘者提问。应聘者应当充分利用好这宝贵的几分钟向主考官提出一些与应聘岗位和公司密切相关的问题,进一步向主考官表明自己对应聘岗位充满浓厚兴趣并做了充分的准备,同时向主考官证明自己是最适合该岗位的人选。应聘者应当在面试前准备好一些问题向主考官提问。
参考提问:
① How would you describe the responsibilities of the position?
② How would you describe a typical day for the person doing this job?
③What are the priorities in this job?
④What are the most challenging aspects of this job?
⑤Can you tell me about the person I will be reporting to?
⑥What are the prospects for growth and advancement?
⑦What type of employees are most successful at this company?
⑧How do you measure success on the job?
⑨What is the company’s management style?
面试前的注意事项
除了预测并模拟回答面试问题以及准备好向主考官提问的问题之外,应聘者在电话面试前还要注意以下事项:
1.准备好相关材料
如果预先知道了电话面试的时间,应聘者应当在面试前把自己的简历、求职信、证明信、所应聘职位和公司的相关信息等材料放在面前,以便面试时随时运用其中的信息(包括使用简历中的具体语句)来回答问题。
2.准备好笔和纸
在电话面试之前,应聘者还要准备好笔和纸。在电话面试中,应聘者随时都可能要做笔记,记下一些重要信息,如:主考官的姓名和联系方式、主考官提问中的重要信息、主考官就应聘者提问所给出的答案、第二轮面试的时间和地点、参加第二轮面试时需要提供的材料等等。
3.寻找一个安静的环境
应聘者应当尽量确保自己有一个安静环境来参加电话面试,这样在面试过程中才不会因为环境嘈杂而心绪不宁。如果应聘者在公交车上突然接到了面试电话,在没有任何准备而且环境噪音很大的情况下,不妨先试探地问一下来电者是否可以给你几分钟的准备时间,然后再开始面试。应聘者可以使用以下表达:“I’m now on the bus.Would it be possible for you to call me back in three minutes? I would appreciate it very much.”如果在家里,你需要获得家人的理解和支持,确保你在面试的时候,他们不会打搅你或制造噪音。需要注意的是,应聘者尽可能不要推迟面试,更不要向主考官索取太长的准备时间,这样会给主考官留下不好的第一印象。
通过以上介绍,相信大家应该对电话面试有了一个初步的了解。以上内容都是关于在电话面试之前要做的准备和注意事项。而在实际电话面试过程中,应聘者会遇到哪些难题、应当注意什么、哪些电话用语使用起来更为妥当,以及电话面试结束后又该怎么做,应聘者也最好做到心中有数。下期笔者将针对这些内容为大家做详细介绍。
透析外企面试:如何应对电话面试(下)
作者:何光明 来源:快乐英语网 笔者在上期主要介绍了电话面试之前应做的准备工作,包括预测并模拟回答电话面试问题、准备好向主考官提问的问题以及面试前的注意事项。但真正的电话面试过程可能比我们预想的更为复杂,因此,本期笔者将具体介绍应聘者在电话面试过程中的应对策略、一些常用的电话用语以及电话面试后的注意事项,希望能对应聘者有所帮助。
面试中的应对策略
电话面试是一种特别的面试方法,与面对面的交流相比,这种方式更为间接,留给应聘者发挥的空间也相对小一些。因此,应聘者要在有限的空间内发挥出自己最好的水平,在具体的电话面试过程中应注意以下几个方面。
1.正确称呼对方
在电话面试开始时,主考官通常都会首先介绍自己,应聘者应认真倾听并记下对方的姓名和头衔。在称呼主考官时,应聘者应尽量使用正式、礼貌的表达,如“Hi Mr.Smith”或“Hello Ms.Zhang”。当然,如果主考官主动要求应聘者直呼其名,那么应聘者也应顺从其意,不必过于拘谨。同样,在电话会议面试(有多位主考官进行电话面试)时,应聘者应记下每位主考官的姓名,并在面试中正确称呼每一位主考官。
2.保持微笑
应聘者在回答问题时要尽量保持微笑。主考官虽然看不到应聘者的笑容,但他可以从应聘者的语气、语调中“听出”你的笑容。应聘者在整个电话面试中保持微笑的面部表情,有助于给主考官留下友好、积极和乐观的印象。应聘者不妨在电话面试时,在面前摆上一面镜子来提醒自己保持微笑。
3.放松自己
应聘者在电话面试中感到紧张是很自然的现象,但应聘者千万不要让紧张的情绪控制住自己,而要学会让自己慢慢放松下来。如果应聘者由于紧张而在讲话时吞吞吐吐,那么最好先暂时停下来深吸一口气,这时可以对主考官这样说:“I’m sorry.I was a bit nervous.Could I try it again?”应聘者不必担心这样会影响主考官对自己的印象,因为主考官一般不会因为应聘者的一点紧张而给你下定论。
4.控制好自己的声音
应聘者无法在电话面试中充分利用身体语言来表达自己,因而说话声音的质量就变得尤为重要。首先,应聘者要控制好自己的音量,不要太大,也不能太小。其次,应聘者要控制好说话的语速,不要太快,也不要太慢。再者,应聘者的语调也要得体。总之,应聘者应通过控制和调节自己的声音,向主考官传递你充满热情和自信的一面。
5.认真倾听,虚心请教
在参加电话面试过程中,应聘者一定要集中精力认真听取面试问题,尽量不要打断主考官。如果由于主考官的声音较小、口音较重或是其他原因导致应聘者没有听懂面试问题,应聘者一定要礼貌地请求对方重述问题,直到听懂为止,千万不要不懂装懂。特别是在电话会议面试中,由于电话那边有数位主考官提问,有时声音可能不是很清楚,在这种情况下应聘者一定要请求对方复述问题。应聘者可以对主考官这样表达:“I’m sorry.I’m afraid I didn’t catch you.Could you repeat that, please?”或“I’m sorry.I’m afraid I didn’t catch your last name.Could you spell that, please?”笔者曾参加过一个电话会议面试,面试的几位主考官都来自印度,所以他们说的英语带有浓重的印度口音。当主考官要求笔者打印一份“training plan”给他们时,他们把“training”读成了类似汉语中的“太宁”的发音。所以笔者只能请他们重复读了几遍“training”,才明白其意。这样要求虽然给主考官带来了麻烦,但为了避免对信息理解有误,应聘者还是应当在礼貌得体的前提下尽量问清楚考官的问题。
6.表达要简洁明了、结构清晰
应聘者回答问题时,在内容上,要尽量做到简洁,切勿拖沓冗长;在语言形式上,尽量使用简洁明了的语句,不要使用陈旧、啰嗦的商务套话。笔者曾听到过应聘者用这样的开场白介绍自己:“First of all, I would like to take the liberty of introducing myself.”这样的表达就有啰唆之嫌了,应聘者可以简单地说:“Let me introduce myself first.”或者说:“I’d like to introduce myself first.”同时,应聘者要尽量避免过多使用那些没有实际意义的“填充词”(filler words),如kind of、sort of、well、you see、you know等。过多使用这些词汇不仅浪费宝贵的时间,也显得应聘者不够正式和专业。
应聘者回答问题时,在结构上,要尽量清晰、有序。应聘者可以采取金字塔式结构来回答问题:先开门见山提出观点或结论;然后提供具体的原因或细节等;最后,如果时间允许的话,还可以简单总结一下。
7.索取对方的联系方式
在面试结束前,应聘者可以主动索取主考官的联系方式。只要表达礼貌得体,主考官一般都不会拒绝应聘者的请求。应聘者可以使用以下礼貌表达:“Would you mind giving me your email address(telephone number)?”
8.感谢对方
在电话面试结束的时候千万要记得感谢主考官,感谢他/她特地花时间打电话面试。同时趁热打铁向主考官表示自己对招聘岗位充满热情和兴趣,并希望获得第二轮面试机会。
在整个电话面试过程中,应聘者都应注意措辞的礼貌得体。以下表格提供了一些正式、礼貌的常用电话用语,供应聘者学习和使用。
面试后注意事项
面试结束后,应聘者应尽快给面试自己的主考官写一封感谢邮件,感谢主考官为你的面试所花费的时间和精力,感谢对方为你提供的各种信息。此外,在感谢邮件中,应聘者还可以再次强调自己对应聘职位的浓厚兴趣、自己是该职位的最佳人选等。
如果在发完感谢函后一星期之内未收到回复,应聘者也可以试着给主考官打电话询问。打电话本身可以向主考官传递一个信息:你对这个工作有很大的兴趣和热情,你很在乎这个职位。一般而言,主管官在接到电话后会向应聘者说明面试的结果。如果对方告诉你,你已经被录用,则万事大吉;如果对方告诉你,他们还在考虑是否录取你,这时你应该告诉对方你会耐心等待对方的答复;如果对方告诉你,你落选了,你也应该表现得大度一些,并借机虚心地向对方请教你有哪些欠缺的地方,以便今后改进。
以上笔者为应聘者提供了一些电话面试中和电话面试后的应对策略。最后要强调的是,在面试过程中,应聘者一定要积极、自信地回答主考官的每一个问题,同时要不断地向主考官传递你是应聘岗位的最佳人选这一信息。希望通过这两期的内容,应聘者能对电话面试有一个全面的了解,并借此使自己的求职之路更加通畅,而这也正是笔者的初衷。
