about yourself.
答

Beijing and
received my master's degree
in Economics. I have worked for 5 years as a
financial
consultant in Beijing for
various companies including Rossi Consultants,
People's
Insurance of China and Pepsi.

traveling.

:
I've 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。<
/p>
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。
2.
问
: What type of
position are you looking for?
答
: I'm interested in an
entry level (beginning) position.
答
: I'm 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。
3.
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。
4.
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。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。
5.
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
:
p>
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。
6.
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。
7.
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。
8.
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!
9.
问
: Do you have any
questions?
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 organization's goals have
changed over the past three to five years
< br>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
OFF
ER
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:
•
What are the main
objectives and responsibilities of the position?
•
How does the
company expect these objectives to be met?
•
What obstacles
are commonly encountered in reaching these
objectives?
•
What is the desired time frame for reaching the
objectives?
•
What resources are available from the company and
what must be found elsewhere to
reach
the objectives?
问面试官的问题
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,<
/p>
如果他们没有看过
你的简历,通常也不会承认,可能会说:
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,<
/p>
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:
<
/p>
qualifitions.
2.
Is there anything else I can tell you about my
qualifications?
有可能的话,尽量用
p>
代替
。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. I've 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:<
/p>
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:
involved in this job. What's your take
on the most important aspects of this
position?
4. What are the
major chanllenges that you staff is facing right
now?
这个问题有双重目的。
第
一个目的就是看看自己对公司面临的问题能否提出自己的意见和看
法,来表面自己是一个
善于解决问题的人。第二个目的就是如果这家公司真的存在着问题,
你要考虑是否要加入
。
5. What results would you
like to see me produce?
问这个
问题,显示出你的心态是
,真正的干活,不是混口饭吃。不管对
方说什么,
你都可以接着说:
可以对新
的面试官重复同
样的问题。
6.
What do you consider ideal experience of this
position?
这个问题的目的是衡量自己的资历水平
和对方所说的理解人选差多少,然后尽量把距离拉
近。先把已经符合的部分重申一次,然
后再说不符合的部分,强调自己的经验和学习能力,
可以很快把差距消除。
7. How would you describe the
atmosphere, the culture of this company?
这也是个有双重目的的问题。首先就是了解公司的气氛,
p>
文化,环境是怎样的,是否合适自
己发展;
其次是可以表明自己很喜欢这种环境。
可以说:
pressure situations.
8.
Was the person who held this job before me
promoted?
这个问题是要知道到底是不是有空缺,
同时也可以了解拿到这个位子以后下一步可以晋升到
什么水平。
9. May I talk to the person
who held this job previously(or who is currently
doing this job)?
根据上一个问题的结果
,
你大概已经知道,
招这个职位是因为现在在做的人升了官,<
/p>
辞了职,
还是转到其他的职位上去了。
如
果能够面谈当然好,
如果不能够,
看看对方用什么理由来拒
p>
绝你,
10.
Based on what I've told you, don't you think that
I could give you all that you need in
this position?
就
象所有的销售人员,在最后敲定之前,都会问:
“
根据我前面的
介绍,你难道不认为这是
笔好交易吗?
”
这个问题是为了引出一个积极的回应,绝大多数的面试人员很难在这个问题
下生硬地打
发你,他们很可能说
Yes
。
难回答的问题
1. Why are
you leaving your present job?
你为什么要辞掉现在的工作?
p>
在自己觉得舒服的基础上诚实地回答,
比如公司机构重组,
不再需要你这个职位。
或者你觉
得现在工作不适
合你自己的长远职业需要等等。
2. Describe
what you feel to be an ideal working environment.
形容一下你认为最理想的工
作环境。
这是看你对工作环境的要求。
你可以说
“
最理想的工作环境是人人都得到公平的对待。
”To me
the ideal working environment is one in
which people are treated as fairly as possible.
也
可以说
challenging
and fun workplace.
3. How
would you evaluate your present firm?
你如何看待你现在工作的企业?
<
/p>
如果不是因为有什么过失或矛盾而要离开现在的公司,
那么最好说
说现在公司好的一面。
It's
an excellent
company that is regarded as one of the industry
leaders.
4. In your current
or last position, what features did you like the
most? Least? Why?
在你
现在或者上一份工
作中,你最喜欢和最不喜欢的是什么?为什么?
对最喜欢的部分照实说,
对最不喜欢的事情,
由于
始终是你职责的一部分,
你最好用积极的
方式来说明。
In my last job I had to report what I do to
my manager on a daily basis. I think
that I am very organized and self-
supervised so daily report is not the best way of
using
the time of both.
5. Why haven't you found a new position
before now?
为什么在这之前你没找到一份新工
作
呢?
找工作不难,找份合适的就难
多了。这里强调你是有选择地求职,旨在找到对口的位置。
6. What do you think of your boss?
你对你现在的上司怎么看?
尽量讲好的方面。一般招聘人员都不喜欢听你讲以前老板的坏话,尽管真假难以查考。
7. How do you
resolve conflict on a project team?
在一个团队中你如何解决矛盾?
<
/p>
沟通是最重要的,要理解各方的真正要求。开始会私下进行了解。
Communication is very
important to
resolve conflict. First I would discuss the issues
privately with the team
members
involved then I will help to find out a way to
settle based on the business needs.
8. Do you generally speak to people
before they speak to you?
一般来说,在人们和你说
p>
话之前你会先和他们说话吗?
看情况了。
It depends on the
circumstances.
9. How would
you describe your own personality?
你如何形容你的个性?
根据你所应聘的公司和职位的要求来调整你的回答。
有的职位要求人听话,
肯干,
有的要求
人有创造性,主动性。
在回答以前你心中对这家公司和工作应当有一定的感觉或认识。
10. Are you a leader?
你是一个领导者吗?
当然是了。信不信由你,
leadership
领导
才能在西方社会里是极受重视的,就算你是个生产
线的装配工,有领导才能也会比没有好
。
所以,多多少少你也要说你有领导才能。
举几个例
子。
11. What career
options do you have at the moment?
你目前的职业有些什么选择?
p>
讲到职业选择,应该设法和所应聘的行业和职位相连。

of
success, how successful have you
been so far?

仔细想想,回答时重点强调你以往取得的成绩。
13. You may be
overqualified for the position we have to offer. <
/p>
对我们目前招聘的职位你
可能资历过高。
这里指出由于你资历高,
公司对你的投资更小,
回报更快。
而且你会找到把工作做得更好的
方法。并强
调你看重长远的发展。
Strong companies need strong
people. A growing,
energetic company is
rarely unable to use its employees' talents.
14. What do you look for
when you hire people?
