第二篇:求职英语
你获得面试了,恭喜!如何留下好印象对成功与否至关重要。就算英文还可以,由于紧张也可能发挥不好。更何况,有些情况不是英文本身的错误,而是是否选择了适当的词在适当的时候说出来。
面试的英文需要运用一系列比较专业的词汇,并且善用几种时态,如说明过去的工作要用过去时,以前取得的成绩要用过去完成时等等。这里我们就讲讲什么时候该说什么。
当你走进雇主的办公室,先介绍自己,握手,微笑很重要。此后第一句话往往是打开局面的,通常面试人员会问:
How are you today?
Did you have any trouble finding us?
What do you think of the weather lately?
他们的语调可能会很友好,因为他们也希望你放松,尽量发挥你自己的水平。这时候你要有简单爽快而有礼貌的回应,如:
对方问:How are you today?
好的回答是:Im fine thank you, and you? 或 Im well thank you.不好的回答是:So, so 或 OK 或Not so well
面试过程中最重要的部分是表述自己的学历,工作经验和资历。这些是和你应聘工作直接相关的。
学历方面:记住你的学历是在以前完成的,要用过去时态。例如:
I attended the University of Beijing from 1990 to 1993.I graduated with a degree in civic engineering.如果你现在还是学生,那么应用现在时态,例如:
I am currently studying at the University of York and will graduate with a degree in Economics in the coming spring.I am studying English at the Seneca Community College.记得要告诉雇主,你仍然在不断改善你的英语,比如你每周还上几小时的英语课。因为英文不是你的母语,他们对此可能会有顾虑。
工作经验和资历无疑是面试中最重要的部分。所以雇主很想知道个中的许多细节。雇主想知道你到底做过什么,做得好不好。因此你不要谦虚,把最好的成绩和方面表达出来。
当谈到你目前在做的工作时你可以用现在完成进行时,表示你不但一直在这样做,而且将来也会持续下去:
ABC Engineering Inc.have employed me for the last 3 years as a salesperson.I have been creating customer contacts for 6 months.但谈到以前的工作时用过去时:
I was employed by Jacksons Ltd.from 1995 to 1997 as a office manager.I worked as a production supervisor at the Heitz while I was living in New York.当谈及以前的工作成绩和表现,尽量用一些主动的,积极的,令人印象深刻的动词,比用名词或者系动词词组效果好。比如与其说My job is to assist the senior scientist with unit testing不如说I assisted the senior scientist with unit testing.与其说I was responsible for the business needs analysis不如说I analyzed the business needs.以下是一些非常好的动词来帮助你表达你干得多好:
acted accomplished adapted administered advanced
advised allocated analyzed applied approved
arbitrated arranged assisted attained blended brought
built carried out catalogued changed classified collaborated
compared completed computed conceived conducted
constructed consulted contracted controlled cooperated
coordinated corrected counseled created dealt
decided decreased defined delegated derived
designated detected developed devised
directed discovered distributed documented
doubled edited encouraged engineered
enlarged escalated established estimated
evaluated examined expanded experienced
explored facilitated finalized formulated
founded functioned governed grouped
guided handled harmonized harnessed
headed identified implemented improved
increased indexed initiated inspected
installed instituted interpreted introduced
invented investigated justified led
localized located made managed
maintained mechanized merged moderated
motivated negotiated opened operated
organized originated overcame perceived
performed pioneered planned prepared
presented presided processed programmed
promoted provided purchased raised
recommended recorded recruited rectified
redesigned repaired replaced restored
reversed reviewed revised saved
screened selected serviced set up
solved sorted sparked specified
started stimulated strengthened summarized
supervised supported systematized tested
trained transacted transcribed transformed
tripled upgraded validated varied
verified vitalized won wrote
而这些是一些很好的形容词来形容你的工作能力和个性品德:
accurate
active
adaptable
adept
broad-minded
competent
conscientious
creative
dependable
determined
diplomatic
discreet
efficient
energetic
enterprising
enthusiastic
experienced
fair
firm
genuine
honest
innovative
logical
loyal
mature
methodical
motivated
objective
outgoing
personable
pleasant
positive
practical
productive
reliable
resourceful
self disciplined
sense of humor
sensitive
sincere
successful
tactful
trustworthy
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: Tell me about yourself.答: I was born and raised in Dalian, China.I attended the University of Beijing and received my masters degree in Economics.I have worked for 5 years as a financial consultant in Beijing for various companies including Rossi Consultants, peoples Insurance of China and pepsi.I enjoy playing soccer in my free time and traveling.答: Ive just graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in Computers Science.During the summers, I worked as a systems administrator for a small company to help pay for my education.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: What type of position are you looking for?
答: Im interested in an entry level(beginning)position.答: Im looking for a position in which I can utilize my experience.答: I would like any position for which I qualify.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: 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.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: 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.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: 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.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: 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.评语: 这其实是一个很巧妙的问题,你要讲得出一个其实是优点的缺点。比如工作太认真啦,对自己对人要求很高啦,工作很追求完美啦,等等。在讲到缺点后要记得说你一直在致力于改善。
问:Why do you want to work for us?
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.评语: 对这个问题你要事前做研究,通过看公司网站,其他有关信息等。越了解公司,对你越有利。
问: When can you begin?
答: Immediately.答: As soon as you would like me to begin.评语: 充分表示你想要工作!
以上只是一些最基本的面试问答。对于英语非母语的人来说,最重要和最难的是用英语讲述大量细节,尤其是复杂的细节。然而,雇主是很有必要知道你能否把工作范畴内的细节表达清楚,这对你是否胜任至关重要。不要太过担心语法问题。只要用词够多,内容够细,只要不影响理解,语法往往不是那么重要。
面试时招聘人员总会问你:Do you have any questions?以前我们讲过,面试十七大忌中其中一忌就是用nothing来回答这个问题。问什么问题,对你的印象分有帮助,显示你是一个用心的人。一般来说,围绕着这些话题来问比较得体:
the competitive environment in which the organization operates 公司营运所处的竞争环境
executive management styles 管理高层的风格
what obstacles the organization anticipates in meeting its goals 公司在达到其目标过程中预计会遇到什么障碍
how the organizations goals have changed over the past three to five years 公司的经营方向在过去三到五年内有什么变化
第一次面试,或者在双方未有确定的意向以前,除非是已经到了签OFFER的阶段,最好不要问待遇如何。那样显得你更关心公司能为你做什么,而不是你为公司能做什么。
具体来说,你可以问以下问题:
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?
上次我们讲了在面试时可以问招聘人员的问题,主要是围绕着对该公司,该行业的认识和发展来提问。这次我们来看看哪些问题是可以探测面试官对这次面试的印象以及有没有下一步安排。
1.Have you had a chance to review my resume?
别以为这是个多余的问题,事实上,不少的面试人员事前并没有看过应聘者的简历,就匆匆忙忙开始了面谈。他们一边面试一边看你的简历。这个问题是个开场白,如果他们没有看过你的简历,通常也不会承认,可能会说: I havent had the chance to review it in details as I would like to.(其实就是一次也没看过。)不要为此懊丧,没看过的话,正好可以说,well, maybe it is helpful for me to talk about the highlights of my qualifications.就好象一个销售人员在推销产品之前,总是问“你对这个产品有什么认识/了解吗?”然后再开始自己的陈述。即使他们说已经看过你的简历,你一样可以说:So let me talk about the highlights of my qualifitions.2.Is there anything else I can tell you about my qualifications?
有可能的话,尽量用qualifications代替experience。前者代表了取得的成绩,更加突出了你是有才之士,相比之下后者比较中性,被动。问这个问题,有益无害,只要面试官说Yes,你就有更多的机会把最好的料子亮出来。越能让对方说Yes,你在他们眼中就越有价值,留下的印象越深。这是在首次和第二次面试中值得问的问题(假设面试总共有三次的话)。
3.Ive read the job description, of course, but how would you describe the nature and duties of this job?
乍看这个问题显得明知故问,其实不然。你对这份工作有你的理解,而招聘人员也许有他自己的看法,和登出来的招聘要求并不完全一样。通过他们对这份工作的描述,至少你可以听出来什么是最重要的,什么是招聘广告里面没提到的。那么借此发挥:I am glad to hear that maintaining customer relationship is a great part of this position.I am very customer-focused and always keep their needs in mind.假设你在第二次面试中和另一个面试人员谈,那么可以再次问这个问题:Ive spoken to Mr.Smith about the responsibilities involved in this job.Whats your take on the most important aspects of this position?
4.What are the major chanllenges that you staff is facing right now?
第三篇:求职英语
Here are good answers to some of the tougher questions asked in job interviews.If you can smoothly supply answers like these during the interview, you are bound to make a good impression.1.What is important to you in a job?
Mention specific rewards other than a paycheck for example, challenge, the feeling of accomplishment, and knowing that you have made a contribution.2.Why do you want to work for this organization?
Cite its reputation, the opportunities it offers, and the working conditions.Stress that you want to work for this organization, not just any organization.3.Why should we employ you?
point to your academic preparation, job skills, and enthusiasm about working for the firm.Mention your performance in school or previous employment as evidence of your ability to learn and to become productive quickly.If the job involves management responsibilities, refer to past activities as proof of your ability to get along with others and to work as part of a team.4.If we hire you, how long will you stay with us?
Answer by saying along these lines: As long as my position here allows me to learn and to advance at a pace with my abilities.5.Can we offer you a career path?
Reply: I believe you could, once I know the normal progression within the organization.Can you tell me about it? The answer may be revealing.6.What are your greatest strengths?
Give a response like one of the following: I can see what needs to be done and do it, Im wiling to make decisions, I work well with others, I can organize my time efficiently.7.What are you greatest weakness?
Identify one or two, such as the following: I tend to drive myself too hard,I expect others to perform beyond their capacities,I like to see a job done quickly, and Im critical if it isnt.Note these weaknesses could also be regarded as desirable qualities.The trick with this question is to describe a weakness so that it could also be considered a virtue.8.What didnt you like about previous jobs youve held?
Discuss the things you didnt like, but avoid making slighting reference to any of your former employers.9.How do you spend your leisure time?
Mention a cross section of interests-active and quiet, social and solitary--rather just one.10.Are there any weaknesses in your education or experience?
Take stock of your weaknesses before the interview.practice discussing them in a positive light.Youll find that they are minor when discussed along with all the positive things you have to offer.11.Where do you want to be five years from now?
Saying that youd like to be president is unrealistic, yet few employers want people who are content to sit still.You might say, in five years, Id like to have my bosss job.If you cant qualify for your bosss job by then, you may not be the fright candidate.12.What are your salary expectations?
If you are asked this at the outset, its best to say, Why dont we discuss salary after you decide whether Im right for the job? But if the interviewer asks this after showing real interest in you, speak up.She or he will probably try to meet your price.If you need a clue about what to ask for, say,Can you discuss your salary range with me?
13.What would you do if....?
This question is designed to test your reposes.For example: What would you do if your computer broke down during an audit? Your answer there isnt nearly so important as your approach to the problem.And a calm approach is best.Start by saying, One thing I might do is...Then give several alternative choices.14.What type of position are you interested in? J
ob titles and responsibilities vary from firm to firm.So state your skills instead, such as Im good at figure work, and the positions that require these skills , such as accounts payable.15.Tell me something about yourself.Say youll be happy to talk about yourself, and ask what the interviewer wants to know.If this point is clarified, respond.If not, tell why you feel your skills will contribute to the job and the organization.This question gives you a great opportunity to sell yourself.16.Do you have any questions about the organization or the job? Employers like a candidate who is interested in the organization.so this is a perfect time to convey your interest and enthusiasm.
