第一篇:求职英语
求职:大学生英语面试实战指南-1
一、英语面试一般包括三轮:
chie介绍说,第一轮面试一般由公司人力资源部的人员担任考官,他们会从你的个人简历出发,询问一些有关个人的问题,比如请你用英语做一个自我介绍。有些公司也会有一部分英语笔试,主要考查应聘者基本的语言运用能力。
第二轮面试则由部门主管经理出面,这时候有关业务方面的问题成了面试的重点,所以英语面试也从个人情况转向了专业领域。比如应聘市场部,则应聘者通常会被要求谈一谈以往最成功的一个案例,或者自身的业务强项等。
如果前面都很顺利,那么,最后一轮面试一般就是和公司的总裁面对面了。外企的总裁一般是老外,当然面试就变成全英语的了。总裁询问的问题一般会和公司的精神、企业文化有关。
二、面试中最需要自信
普华永道人力资源部经理姜周红介绍说,一般在进行英语面试时,多是希望考查应聘者听说读写的实际操作能力。小组讨论是英语面试的重要一环,一般来说,小组讨论形式的面试其目的主要是要了解应聘者在团体中的工作反应。进一步说,面试官更多的是希望了解应聘者面对指责的态度。
姜周红说,在外企的面试中,除了笔试之外,面试中的英语部分以考查应用能力为主,所以应聘者在面试当中最需要的是自信、敢说。不妨尽量采用简短明了的词汇来表达自己的意思。另外,切忌在面试当中抬高自己贬低别人。回答问题尽量自然,并作为小组成员之一在自己的负责范围内答题,也不要重复其他应聘者的答案。说话要流利,思维要连贯,层次要清晰,不要夹杂中文,可以用“well”、“however”这样的过渡词来给自己停顿和思考,同时,也使得自己的表述显得口语化一些。
三、面试前了解一下企业文化
新橙英语培训中心专业商务面试课程教师chie建议说,学生的先期准备主要是个人情况和业务方面。专业英语的准备要充足,有时会被要求用英语解释一个专业术语或解答一个技术问题。所以,在面试前不妨去公司的英文网站了解一下企业文化,这对与老板面谈会有帮助的。
chie介绍说,英语面试目前的趋势是通常设在一个类似于接待室的地方,而非特别准备的会场,由2-3个人负责面试。
外国人作为考官进行面试时,由于他们与我们的思维方式、习惯以及文化有所差别,因此必须熟悉他们的理解方式和语言表达方式。不同公司对外语水平的要求不同,有的只具备用外语接听电话的水平即可,也有的要求用外语从事一般性工作。因此,应聘者必须准确了解应聘公司的外语使用程度和目的等信息后,再做出相应的对策。
四、英语面试实战指南

今天我们来讲第一讲 面试开场白。面试时总要说上那么几句,一般去了面试的公司以后,里面的接待人员都会主动问一些问题,先来看看下面这个对话吧:
A: Can I help you? 有什么事吗?
B: Yes.I've come to apply for the position as an office secretary.是的我是来应聘办公室秘书一职的。
A: I'm Smith, the clerk of Human Resources Department.What's your name? 我是史密斯,人力资源部秘书。你叫什么名字?

1982年5月17日。„„ Words & Expressions: interview: 面试 resume: 简历
office clerk: 办公室秘书,即文员 birthday place: 出生地 graduated...from: 毕业于 domicile place: 户口所在地 Background:
面试是一种经过精心设计,以交谈和观察为主要手段,以了解被试者素质及有关信息为目的的一种测评方式。面试就是你与面试官面对面的一种交流,更是你施展才能与特点的好时机,即要让他们了解你,还要让他们相信你才是最理想的人选。与此同时,也是你认识,揣测与了解你面前的主考官的时候,而他很有可能就是你即将的上司或老板。
面试的总目标就是给对方一个好印象,那么你就要预先作好充分准备,通过各种方法去了解所面试公司单位的一些基本情况,猜测可能会被问到的问题,这样回答时思路就会比较清晰,有针对性 面试英语第二讲:面试自我介绍
上一课我们讲了面试英语中首先要进行的开场白,那么接下来面试官就要听听你的自我介绍了。我们先来看一下下面的对话:
A:Good morning.I'm Lydia Shen, the manager of the company.What's your name please? B:How do you do, Miss Shen.My name is Penny Zhao.And I'm coming for your advertisement for a trainee salesperson.A:How do you do, Penny? Well, for this job, we need people to work hard.Do you think you're suitable for this kind of job? B:Oh, yes, I think so.A:Ok.Please talk something about yourself or introduce yourself.B:„„
A:早上好。我是Lydia Shen,这个公司的经理。你叫什么名字。B:你好,沈小姐。我叫Penny。我是来应聘见习推销员的。
A:你好,Penny。对于这个工作,我们需要刻苦能干的人,你觉得你能适应这样的工作吗? B:恩,我想我能。
A:好吧。那就说说你的情况吧,或者介绍一下自己。B:„„
该介绍自己了,那么在面试中怎么做自我介绍呢?先来看一些背景知识: Background:
面试时需要做自我介绍,这个时候不要细致地谈自己的生活情况或者工作经验,而是要想方设法地让面试官对你有所了解,告诉他一些事情,这些事情应该使你在招聘过程中具有优势。或许你想选取一些有人情味的故事讲给他听,但这么做,你要有把握与面试官的想法吻合。或者可以概述一下最近你干的工作和你正在申请的工作有什么联系,有怎样的帮助,以及你为什么要到这家公司工作等等。特别值得提的是,要举例子,这样你的回答才更具真实性,更容易被接受,才能给对方留下深刻的印象。
或者当面试官让你做自我介绍的时候,你可以主动问一下对方想知道自己哪方面的情况,这样也便于你的回答更加有针对性。但是这种做法的前提是你对面前的这个面试官有一定的把握,确信这样追问不会引起对方的反感才行。
有了这些背景知识,我们再掌握一些基本的单词和常用的句型来帮助我们理解对方的话和组织语言表达清楚自己的意思就足够了: Words & Expressions: part-time job: 兼职工作 full-time: 全职
position / vacancy: 职位,空缺 manager: 经理 director: 主任
president: 董事长,总经理 General Manager: 总经理 saleperson: 推销员 engineer: 工程师 accountant: 会计 degree: 学位
introduce:(动词)介绍 introduction:(名词)介绍
Let me introduce myself./ Let me do some introduction.让我来介绍一下自己。Which aspect do you want to know about me? 或者 What do you want to know about myself? 您想知道我哪方面的情况? 面试英语第三讲:个人和家庭情况
前两课我们讲了面试英语中首先要进行的开场白,和如何进行自我介绍。通常自我介绍都要介绍自己的个人情况,家庭情况,工作经验,个人能力等等,今天我们就来讲讲如何介绍自己的个人和家庭情况。先来看一些简单的对话:
I: Where is your birthplace? C: I was born in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.I: Where is your native place? C: My native place is Tianjin.I: Are you a resident of Beijing now? C: Yes.I have been living in Beijing since my childhood.I: Where is your domicile place? C: My domicile place is Taiyuan.I: What is your nationality? C: I'm Chinese.I: What is your nation? C: My nation is the Han.I: How large is your family? C: There are four of us including my parents, a younger sister and me.I: Do you spend much time talking with your family? C: Yes.It's said there's a generation gap in the world today, but I don't think this is the case at our house.We all work at taking time to talk with each other.Especially at mealtime, we all eat and talk together.Meals are very lively at our house.I: Your application form said that you have a younger sister.How do you get along with each other? C: We get along well with each other.She is 6 years younger than me, and she is right now studying for college entrance exams.She asks me a lot for advice on how to study and things like that.Besides, we do many things together, such as going swimming, mountain climbing and soon.Words & Expressions: 在对话里出现了以下单词: birthplace: 出生地 native place: 籍贯 resident: 居民
domicile place: 户籍所在地
nationality: 国籍;如果是nation则是指民族 generation gap: 代沟
application form: 申请书,在这里指求职信 除此之外,还有很多词,比如:
ability: 能力,才能,本领;aptitude: 天资,天赋;capability: 能力,才能; competence: 能力,胜任;facult: 能力,才能;genius: 天才 academic level: 业务水平
basic skill: 基本功; basic knowledge: 基本知识 professional titles: 职称
doctoral supervisors: 博士生导师
a teacher in charge of a class: 班主任 postgraduates: 研究生 undergraduate: 本科生
college / university students: 大学生 students of arts: 文科学生 students of science: 理科学生 family: 家庭; relative: 亲戚; be married: 结了婚的(状态)
掌握这些词以后,我们来看一些相关的背景知识: Background:
当你参加面试时,由于条件所限,主考管们不可能详细地把你介绍给与会者,其他人未必都听清主考管的介绍。这时,求职者为了展示自我,当主考管们介绍你的语音刚落,你可立即接过话头,进行干脆而风趣的补充。如果有人想进一步了解你,要抓住时机,做进一步的介绍。
不可否认,经别人介绍或请招聘单位但自荐材料也可使对方了解自己,但毛遂自荐地进行自我介绍,把立体的你展现于人前,可以使招聘者对你产生更直接、更可信的效果,因而更受用人单位的欢迎。
所以一定要抓住自我介绍的机会,向用人单位介绍自己。面试英语第四讲:描述教育背景
我们已经向大家介绍过面试时如何进行开场白,自我介绍和如何介绍个人情况和家庭了。今天我们开始讲解面试最重要的几个部分:介绍自己的教育情况,工作经验和获得的成就等等。
每个企业和单位都比较看中应聘者的学历,高学历在一定程度上也代表着高能力和高素质。即使你的学历很高,在表达上也应该注意一些技巧,那么学历不是很高的求职者就更要注意如何介绍自己的教育背景了。
先来看一段对话: A:Can I help you? B:Yes.I've come to apply for the position as an office secretary.A:I'm Bridge Zhong, the clerk of Human Resources Department.What's your name, please? B:My name is Lisa Liang.How do you do, Mr.Zhong? A:Can you talk about your education background? B:I graduated from Beijing the No.4 Middle School in 1996, then I entered China University of Political Science and Law and I graduated in 2000.I gained a B.A.(Bachelor of Arts)degree.A:What department did you study in? B:I was in Department of Political Science.A:And what subjects were you doing? B:Er, we studied the modern Chinese political thoughts, the History of Western Political Thoughts, Comparative political systems, and so on.A:How about your scores at college? B:Well, I got excellent scores on each of them.A:Have you got any honors or rewards? And what is it? B:I got the university scholarship in 1998-1999.对话看完了,在对话中出现了求职者应聘的职位和面试官的头衔,还有求职者所在的学校,院系,学位,所学课程等词语,相信大家对自己的这些相关知识都很清楚,所以在此就不再多说。我们来看一些有用的单词和词组吧:
Words & Expression: 本文出现的词:
apply for: 申请„职位
office secretary: 办公室秘书
Human Resources Department: 人力资源部
B.A.: Bachelor of Arts的缩写,文学学士。加上degree表示文学学士学位。B.S.: Bachelor of Science的缩写,理科学士。
the modern Chinese political thoughts: 中国现代政治思想 the History of Western Political Thoughts: 西方政治学说 Comparative political systems: 比较政治制度
再来看一下关于教育背景,学历的相关注意事项吧: Backgound:
学历主要指高中和高中以上的学历。内容包括学校名称、学习时间、所学专业、所获学位等,必要时也可列举有关课程和考试成绩。有博士和硕士学位的人,可以省去高中学历。
一个人学历可以给雇主提供了解应聘者的智力、思考力、判断力和个性的根据。
依序面试一般分为初试、复试和综合评定三步。初步的目的在于从众多的求职者中筛选出较好的人选。一般由人事部门主持。主要考查求职者的仪表风度、工作态度、进取心、责任感和机敏性,将明显不合格的人予以淘汰。初试合格者则进入复试,复试一般由用人部门主管主持,多以考查专业知识和能力为主,衡量求职者是否适合岗位工作
面试英语第五讲:工作经验和成就
在面试的时候,工作经验和自己的成就是面试的重点内容,面试官最关注的也是这些。对于工作经验和成就不能瞎遍乱造,但是在描述的时候可以有一些技巧,让我们先看一下便于学习的背景知识: Background:
工作经历通常包括工作期限、单位、职务等。另外还应具体说明以前所从事工作的性质、职责范围以及所取得的成就,与业务有关的进修培训也可以列出来。描述工作经历最能体现的是人的能力、经验和特点。所以,除非1.你以前的工作经历与现在申请的职务无关联,2.你的学历更吸引人,否则工作经历一项应放在简历的最前面。在说明自己的工作经验的时候由近及远。从目前的工作开始说起,然后往前推。最近的工作最重要,应当说明的最为详细,而且强调你认为最重要的内容。
成就是指你在工作的过程中获得的一些奖项或者技能,也就是说在工作的过程中得到了什么。其实,许多有相同经历的人会得到不同的收获。而考官最感兴趣的是你通过工作所掌握的技巧。因为这种技巧只有干过的人才会知道。而这些技巧会对将来的工作有利。
在了解了这些背景知识以后我们学习起来也比较目的性了,来看对话吧: A:Have you worked as a secretary? B:Yes, I have worked as a secretary in an investment company? A:What are you doing now? B:I'm learning English and I hope I can get more chances.A:Could you tell me what's your last job? B:Of course, I worked at an advertisement Co.Ltd.And I do sales work.A:Would you mind telling me the name of the company? B:OK, the name is Xinyue Internet Co.Ltd.A:Have you got any achievement or received any honor in the company? B:Yes, I was chosen as one of “employees of the month” last year.And as a sales manager I succeeded in raising yearly sales volume by 25%.A:Well, you've done a good work.„„
这样的对话涉及到的是应聘者的职位,成就等相关的词汇,当然根据工作的不同,这些词也会有所不同,很多都是应聘者自身的专业词汇,相信不会太难。在此我们也再列举一些相关的: Words & Expression:
Approach / means / method / way: 方法;手段;办法;方式 Corporation: 法人团体;(美)股份有限公司 Firm: 公司;商行;商号
Client:(律师、会计师、社会工作者、建筑师等的)委托人;当事人;客户;(商店的)顾客 Chore: 日常的零星事物;琐事;讨厌或累人的工作 Cash-in-hand: 手中现金
Raise their purchasing power: 提高了购买力 面试英语第六讲:表达语言能力
如今各个用人单位的语言能力,尤其是外语能力,能懂得一门外语确实在应聘时有一些优势。今天这一讲我们就来讲讲在面试时如何表达自己的语言能力。看下面这段对话: A:You will mainly use English in this job.Do you think you can make yourself understood in English with ease? B:Yes, I think I speak English quite fluently.I've often explained historical places in Xi'an to foreign tourists in English.They say my English is quite good.A:How long have you been learning English? B:Oh, more than ten years.I started learning English when I was still in a primary school from a foreign teacher.A:Well, perhaps that's the reason why you are so fluent in it.B:Thank you.对话中出现几个单词值得大家注意:
Ease: 安逸,安心。但是在这段对话中是指轻松,灵活地说英语。Fluently: 流利地,通畅地
还有很多其他相关的单词和词组: Words & Expression:
American: 美国人,美国的 French: 法国人,法语,法国的 German: 德国人,德语,德国的 Japanese: 日本的,日语,日本人
Spanish: 西班牙人,西班牙语,西班牙的 „„
目前用人单位普遍对英语水平要求较高,还有一些需要小语种人才,而这个要求更多地是使用语言交流沟通的能力,它当然跟聊天不一样,如果你能外国朋友很好地聊天,并不代表你能适应这份工作,来看一些背景知识: Background:
口语和聊天相比,有具有以下几个明显的特点:一是主题的明确性。面试时的口语有一个明确的中心,应试者必须按照招聘单位指定的中心内容进行论述的交谈。不像日常聊天那样经常转换话题,话题具有不可预测性,如果应聘时口语离开中心漫无边际地乱扯,或者答非所问,即使讲的头头是道,也只能以失败而告终。二是表达的逻辑性。日常的聊天往往是句式松懈、重复累赘、条理不清、颠三倒四,而求职面试的口语则必须讲究表达的逻辑性,要求概念清晰、语意连贯、层次分明、推理严密、言之有据。三是词语的文雅性。日常聊天经常使用俚语、谚语、歇后语等,具有俚俗性、俏皮性特点。而求职面试时使用的口语必须庄重、文雅、充分体现出求职者高雅的气质和高尚的风貌。四是较强的表演性。日常聊天时的口语对语音、语调的要求并不高,语言中的弱化、模糊和脱离现象经常出现。而求职面试时的口语既要求语言规范、清晰,又要求其语调富于变化,也就是说,在口语的表达上要求有较强的表现力,富有表演性。面试英语第七讲:展示个人能力
面试时我们最想向面试官展现的就是我们的能力了,那么一个人的能力到底是什么呢?通常我们理解为工作能力,技术能力等等,其实不仅仅是这些。我们先来看看关于个人能力的背景知识: Background:
个人能力集中表现在社会荣誉、工作业绩、科研成果、著作等,这里最主要的是著作和工作成果。
著作包括所有出版过的书,发表过的论文。这一项对科研、学术工作者尤为重要。如果内容与所申请的职位密切相关,作者不仅应列入其中,而且可扼要介绍作品内容、社会影响和效果。面试时,应带上作品的原件或复印件。
了解到到底什么是个人能力以后,我们再来看一段对话: A:Would you talk about your merits? B:Yes, sir.When I was the sales manager of Beijing Friendship Store, I succeeded in raising yearly sales volume by 25% at profit margins of from 50% to 80%.A:Have you received any honors or rewards? B:Yes.I got the title of “Advanced Worker” in 1992 and 1994.A:Do you have any publications? B:Yes.My book entitled A Preliminary Survey of Controlling Inflation was published by China Finance Publishing House in 1993.对话中出现了一些词组用法和单词: Words & Expressions:
Beijing Friendship Store: 北京友谊商店 Succeed in: 成功 sales volume:销售量
Advanced Worker:先进工作者
A Preliminary Survey of Controlling Inflation:抑制通货膨胀初探 China Finance Publishing House:中国金融出版社 面试英语第八讲:性格和兴趣爱好
通常我们在写完简历之后都会加注一些自己的性格和兴趣爱好之类的内容,而这些内容也是进行面试时经常会提到的话题,尤其是在英语面试的时候,面试方通常会问:How do you spend your spare time?
性格和兴趣能在面试的时候给你的面试官留下好的印象,为什么不努力来说好呢?今天我们就一起来学习面试英语的最后一讲:如何表达自己的性格和兴趣爱好。下面先来看一段对话吧: A:Do you have any hobbies? What is it or what are they? B:I am interested in watching TV or other relaxing games.A:How do you spend your spare time? B:I usually read or so some sports.A:What kind of book are you interested in? B:My favorite books are those about detectives.A:Well, those books are really good.I like them too.Do you think you are introverted or extroverted? B:In fact, I wouldn't call myself extroverted.Sometime I enjoy being by myself very much.But other times, I like sharing activities with others too, especially during these last few years.A:What kind of sports do you like? B:I like almost all sports, and I enjoy both playing and watching.I especially like tennis and mountain climbing.A:What kind of personality do you think you have? B:Well, I approach things very enthusiastically, I think, and I don't like to leave anything half-done.It makes me nervous-I can't concentrate on anything else until the first thing is finished.„„
介绍自己的性格和兴趣爱好肯定少不了这方面的词汇和词组,对话中也出现了不少,现在我们来学习一些相关的单词和词组吧: Words & Expression: Hobby: 爱好,尤其指业余爱好 Spare time: 空闲时间,业余时间 Be good at: 擅长
Favorite: 最喜欢的,特别喜欢的,中意的
Detective: 侦探,侦探的;在对话中指侦探小说 Performance: 表演,演出 Ballet: 芭蕾舞
Introverted: 内向的,含蓄的,闭关自守的 Extroverted: 外向的,喜社交的
Personality / character / disposition / temperament: 个性,性格 Characteristic: 独特的,特有的,表示特性的 Enthusiastically: 热心地,狂热地
还有很多词就要靠大家自己去掌握了。接着我们来说明一下在简历中或者面试时介绍自己的性格和兴趣爱好的好处: Background:
个人的兴趣爱好其实主要体现在业余活动上,对于刚入社会的学生来说,业余活动主要就是课外活动。
课外活动包括社会活动和业余爱好。
丰富多彩的课外活动表示你希望丰富自己的社会经验,发挥多方面的才能。通过你所参加的课外活动,可以看出你的交际能力、价格修养、成熟程度和健康状况。比如说你当学生会主席的经历能够表明你人缘好、善处人际关系、有领导才能等。
因此,如果你曾参加什么课外活动,就如实写出来。这些活动可以帮助雇主了解你,成为有利的条件。课外活动对于刚刚走出校门的朋友来说,是找工作时的一个相当重要的条件。面试英语:职场面试巧妙问答

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。

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.
