回答示范13: I am quite innovative。 I would rather make a birthday card than buy one。 My family likes the special dishes I cook。 I’ve planned about half of the parties in my class; the “Mock Interview petition” party proved so successful that it’s been followed by many other classes。 Last year I helped an electronics shop owner to build a sales channel in our school。 He is a relative of my classmate。 When he asked us to hand out some advertisement sheets on campus; I told him that this is not at all an effective way of getting sales; and it might lead to a big fine for paper pollution because students litter that kind of sheet。 I suggested that he hire some student agents among freshmen and sophomores because freshmen are the target customers and sophomores are keen to take a part…time job to make some extra money and to improve themselves。 This suggestion proved very effective; what's more; it even got the support from our school because it is seen as a way of getting work experience。
点评13: “有创新思维”的确是个优点, 不过, 笔者并不建议应届毕业生过多地强调自己的创造性思维, 用人单位往往更喜欢听到诸如“脚踏实地”、 “兢兢业业”、 “责任感强”等等优点。原因很简单, 应届毕业生谈创新, 往往停留在空谈的阶段。
回答示范14: I have a great sense of responsibility; to society and to my work。 For example I would shout if I see a thief putting his hand in others’ bags; though I only had one chance to do so because I had only witnessed stealing once。 I immediately reported water leaking in public places。 And I really dislike some girls for flushing the toilet before use though it looks clean。 I don't think such people will make good employees; because if they lack responsibility for society; they won't be responsible for their work。 I am always responsible for my work; if I don't do it to my best I will feel guilty。
点评14: “责任感强”, 好哇! 只要能够有效证明自己的责任感的确很强, 这个优点永远能为你增色不少。
回答示范15: I am persistent。 I have kept a diary since ing to college。 I eat healthy food and do exercise as much as possible all these years。 I worked for one student organization for three years instead of participating in many organizations。
点评15: “做事持之以恒”, 这个优点对于某些流动性很大的职位来说, 具有致命的诱惑。
回答示范16: I am good with my hands; as my parents put it; I have smart hands。 At home it is my job to deal with all the minor troubles of water; electricity and gas utilities。 At university I’ve scored very well in lab…based classes。 I am good at web design and I've brought some of my designs with me today if you are interested。 I believe I have advantages over some other candidates because I am good at dealing with machines。
点评16: “动手能力很强”, 是应届毕业生最能打动面试官的优点之一。
30。 What do you see as your weaknesses as an employee? 作为一名公司职员, 你觉得自己有什么缺点?
第七节 外企面试最常见的36个英文问题(19)
问题分析: 中国面试官往往用这个提问来衡量申请人是否有自知之明或者开诚布公的勇气, 外国面试官则往往更加注重这个问题的“后续问题”, 也就是, “你将如何避免因自己的缺点而影响工作质量?”
回答示范1: I am not a great public speaker。 When speaking in public I feel unfortable unless the topic is familiar。 So I have to be well prepared before giving a presentation。 As a matter of fact; I did lots of preparations for our interview today!
点评1: “不善于在公开场合发表演讲”, 的确是很多人的通病。不过, 现在越来越多的申请人“喜欢”上了这个回答, 造成了人力资源经理们的审美疲劳, 呜呼! 笔者建议大家在这个答案上适当包装, 这个申请人做得就很好, 他打趣说自己来面试前都做了充分的准备, 无疑会博得面试官展颜一笑。
回答示范2: As a manager my weakness is being soft…hearted。 Though being soft…hearted can be seen as a strength sometimes; it is also a major weakness for a manager does need to take tough measures; including decisions to fire。 pared with other team leaders I am too soft。 As a result; my employees seem to be less disciplined; for example; late for a meeting。 The good thing is that being soft also has its advantages: my employees never hesitate to municate with me; which greatly improves work efficiency。
点评2: “心肠太软”, 对于经理层来讲是个双刃剑。
回答示范3: Well; maybe my weakness sounds a little bit strange to you。 I think my weakness is that I talk too much。 I like to express my opinions。 My classmates say I am bossy and like to show off。 I’ve also noticed that I don’t listen enough because I am talking too much。 So I write down a reminder on my notebook; 〃Listen more; speak less。〃 But interestingly enough; even when I feel I am speaking little my co…workers still pat my shoulder and say; 〃Susan; you are an active person!〃 The 〃talker〃 impression doesn't go away easily。
点评3: “说话太多, 甚至有点爱出风头”, 其实是一个比较可爱的缺点。至少, 比招聘一个闷嘴葫芦要强上百倍!
回答示范4: I am pride of myself on being a“big picture” guy; but I have to admit I am not careful enough。 Sometimes I make stupid date and number errors; like typing 2006 when it’s 2007! Once I forgot to final…check the microphone when I was in charge of the Wele Party and it caused great panic when was found to be silent only half an hour before the show began。 So I do love to hang out with the 〃detail〃 people。 They can depend on me to make plans; and I can depend on them to remind me of the small details。 When I can't depend on others; I always depend on my notebook。 I like to write things down in my notebook now; which is the best way to remember every important detail。
点评4: “能看到事情的大框架, 有全局观而忽视细节”, 确实有很多这样的人。这个回答的亮点不在于此, 而在于他对自己缺点的弥补手段, 一方面他乐于和注重细节的人合作, 另一方面他选择使用好记性不如烂笔头的方法强迫自己注重细节。
回答示范5: I do things in haste sometimes。 I am eager to finish a task once I start doing it。 It looks like a strength but it can be a big weakness at work。 Haste makes waste。 Great haste makes great waste。 For example; when I started working for my current boss last year I once made a ridiculous mistake in an urgent report。 I typed 〃shit out〃 instead of 〃try to〃 because the two phrases have exactly the same spelling in Chinese。 So now I often remind myself: Do it right; Don't do it over。
第七节 外企面试最常见的36个英文问题(20)
点评5: “急躁而忙中出错”, 通病也。
回答示范6: I set unrealistic goals sometimes。 For example; losing 10 kilograms in a month; or finishing typing a form in an hour。 The truth is that I know they are hard to achieve even when I am setting them; but I can’t resist doing so because I need to be motivated by aiming high。 But my boss sometimes criticizes me for being unrealistic when making plans。
点评6: “制定不切实际的目标”, 的确是个缺点, 不过, 往往只有上进心强的人才会有这种缺点。
回答示范7: Well; frankly speaking; I think I still need to be more professional。 Sometimes I let my emotions affect my work。 Last winter I lost a client because I didn’t look very enthusiastic when answering his inquiries。 He went to another teller the next day when he opened an account in our bank。 And he bought a ten thousand Yuan Lideying(an investment fund) immediately。 This was a big lesson for me because it made me realize that I should learn to be at my best for any client; at any time。 You know; I always look like an angel; no matter how difficult it is; because it will indeed help me to sell more products。 You'll never know when the customers decide to buy; hehe。
点评7: 通常来说, 告诉面试官自己的职业化程度还不够高是非常危险的做法, 但是, 这个申请人以最真诚的态度, 给出了一个很打动人的回答, 使得她在一群对自己的缺点欲说还羞的申请人中脱颖而出!
回答示范8: I am too sensitive and spend too much time worrying about what others think about me。 For example; I hesitate to speak out when I disagree with someone in fear of making him unfortable。 So I have missed some chances to share my views and prove my abilities。 I wish I could be more objective and more straightforward when dealing with people。
点评8: “敏感, 过分关注别人对自己的看法”, 这的确是个不讨人喜欢的缺点。不过, 对于一些容易脸红说话柔声细语的小姑娘, 这倒不失为一个好答案。如果你刚好是一个大老爷们或者阳刚小伙, 这个答案则会迅速让十个人中的九个人讨厌你。
回答示范9: My weakness? I need pressure to work harder。 This is my weak point。 I tend to perform better when somebody is pushing me; or gives me a high goal。 I really wish to work with a very demanding boss so he can give me the pressure I need。
点评9: “需要压力才能更努力”, 这是大家的通病!这个回答的点睛之处在于, 该申请人盼望着能遇上一个高标准严要求的老板, 从而督促自己更加努力地工作, 这是一个多么可爱的令用人单位求之不得的“受虐狂型”的应届毕业生啊!
回答示范10: I am likely to be influenced by the environment。 I study hard when I find everybody else studying hard; and I start looking for a part…time job when I find others talking about how important it is! It would be great if I could join Ericsson; as I can be influenced by the high quality people here!
点评10: “容易受到周围人和事的影响, 所以尽量强迫自己和好人和好事在一起”, 回答得好!
31。 What factors in a work situation motivate you? 工作中有哪些因素能够激励你?
第七节 外企面试最常见的36个英文问题(21)
问题分析: 在这个问题上, 面试官要捕捉的信息点是: 第一, 你是什么样的人?能直截了当告诉面试官自己需要钱来激励的申请人一定是比较爽直的人; 一个需要老板表扬的家伙一定自尊心很强, 等等。第二, 这份工作到底能否让你满意?
回答示范: There are many; hehe; I’m easily motivated。 Money; of course; is a key motivator。 The sense of achievement also motivates me a lot; say; winning honors; being praised by boss; clients and colleagues。 In addition; pressure can provide motivation for me; too。
点评: 很全面的回答, 体现出申请人的几大优点: 第一, 实话实说自己喜欢钱; 第二, 自己是个容易被鼓舞的人, 要知道面试官最怕招聘进来一个不爱钱财、不爱美人的冷面人, 不爱吃胡萝卜的驴不可能好好拉磨; 第三, 自己是个好胜心很强的人, 喜欢获得奖励获得老板与客户的认可; 第四, 自己不怕压力。
六、 关于职业目标的问题
32。 Where do you see yourself being in your profession in five years? Why did you establish these goals? 你的五年职业目标是什么?你为什么会确定这样的职业目标?
问题分析: 与中国面试官相比, 老外更加重视这个问题。在这个问题上, 面试官捕捉的信息点是: 第一, 这个家伙是个有计划有目标的人吗?第二, 他对自己所申请的职业了解吗?他知道这个职位的下一步是什么吗?第三, 这个家伙所制定的职业目标切合实际吗?此外, 外国面试官往往是你未来的直线经理或者顶头上司, 与人力资源部的面试官相比, 他更希望遇到一个已经斩钉截铁地决定要在这个领域里发展的申请人。
回答示范1: Well; I hope I can be a brand manager in five years or so。 Launching and managing a brand; introducing it to as many customers as possible; in my opinion; will bring me great job satisfaction。
点评1: 对于有志从事市场推广活动的应届毕业生, 这个答案可谓中规中矩了。
回答示范2: In five years? I think there are two possibilities。 I will either be working as a senior in sales; or I will join a management team as a sales manager。 You know during the past three years I worked my wa
