问题分析: 这个问题相当棘手。太真实可能会吓坏面试官, 太虚伪又没法令人相信。比较好的应对方式是, 给对方列举一些非致命的失败, 同时, 这些失败是由于自己所订立的目标比较高。
普通回答: Disappointments? There were some。 I couldn’t get an A in the annual evaluation。 I got B; which was not bad; but certainly not good enough。
点评: 这个回答太圆滑, 明显在利用“失败”夸自己向来高标准严要求。面试官最不喜欢这种自作聪明的人。
回答示范: I failed to achieve the sales target last year; I sold a million and a half but the target was two million。 Our Beijing headquarters is having some problems and can’t provide effective presales support for us。 Failing to reach the target is a big disappointment for me。
第七节 外企面试最常见的36个英文问题(10)
点评: 一个很好的回答, 体现出了一个销售人员对完成任务的强烈的渴望, 同时也顺便带出了自己完不成任务的客观理由。
18。 How would you evaluate the progress you made in your last job? 你如何来评价自己在上一份工作中的表现?
问题分析: 对于在上一份工作中表现平平的申请人, 这个问题简直如芒刺在背, 痛苦啊。但是, 哪怕面壁三天、 掘地三尺也要想出一两个你在上一份工作中的亮点, 否则, 只能在面试时芒刺在背了。
回答示范1: I am very proud of the progress I made in my last job。 I joined the pany as a new hand; but after only a year and a half; I was promoted to team leader。 I could achieve such a rapid progress partly because my last job was in a small firm。 If I can make the same progress in a large pany like GE; I would be prouder。
点评1: 回答得非常好, 既吹嘘了自己的迅速成长, 也诚恳地指出自己是个羊群里的骆驼, 在小公司里才能获得如此快速的提升。
回答示范2: Well; I would give myself 70% if 100 means full satisfaction。 I had some achievements in my last job。 For example; I got 8089% in the annual evaluation last year; which was 60%。 The promotion program I anized on Wangfujing Road was highly successful and my client was very pleased。 However; the results of several other programs were not quite satisfactory due to some reasons I couldn't control。 Actually that's why I want to quit。
点评2: 这个回答可能更符合多数申请人的实际情况: 有成就, 也有失败。
19。 What pressures did you have in your last job and how did you manage them? 你工作中有什么压力, 你是怎么样应付的?
问题分析: 平庸的人往往感受不到压力, 有能力的人往往在工作中遭遇很大的压力, 同时, 他们处理压力的方法也是相当积极有效的。
回答示范1: In my current job; most pressure es from the high sales target。 It’s extremely difficult to meet the target because it’s a 30% increase over the sales of last year; and the sales of last year were already quite high。 However; I can manage this pressure well because although I can't meet the sales target; my sales abilities have never been challenged by my boss and others。 Six out of seven sales reps can't meet the target this year and I am actually quite close to it。
点评1: 虽然该申请人没有说出具体的应付压力的办法, 但是他告诉面试官他并不受压力所困, 因为自己的能力早已经被公认。这是一个很自信的回答。
回答示范2: Well; I have to meet deadlines in my current job。 Some projects have a very tight schedule; and even if we do a lot of over time work it’s still hard to meet the deadline。 This gives me a lot of pressure。 Usually I manage the pressure by municating honestly with my boss。 If he can understand me I feel relaxed。
点评2: 非常入情入理的回答。做技术工作的人员通常为了赶项目而熬通宵, 而如果熬通宵也不能如期交付项目的话, 势必会造成心理压力。争取老板的理解, 的确是缓解压力的好办法。
回答示范3: There are many emergencies in my current job; you know; customer challenges; unexpected orders。 As the customer service officer with the longest experience I am usually put in charge of handling emergencies, you know; like a firefighter。 This gives me lots of pressure because I can't let my boss down。 I could handle these pressures well; partly because I'm used to them。
第七节 外企面试最常见的36个英文问题(11)
点评3: 这是个超级棒的回答, 它变相地告诉面试官, 自己是最资深的客户服务代表, 因此总是被派做“消防队员”, 自然要面临很大压力。而自信, 是对付压力的最好办法。
20。 Sometimes a work assignment requires frequent travel。 How do you feel about the prospect of frequent travel? 有时候工作需要你经常出差, 你怎么看?
问题分析: 如果你兴高采烈地说: “哦, 出差是免费旅游的好机会呀!”面试官只能哑然失笑或者苦笑, 因为你太天真了, 对于绝大多数人来说, 出差绝对不是“美差”而是“苦差”。所以, 在这个问题上, 面试官要捕捉的信息点有两个: 第一, 这个家伙成熟了没有?他对于这份职位本身的缺陷有没有心理上的准备?第二, 这个家伙到底会采用什么样的方法, 避免出差损害了自己的身体健康, 并令精神萎靡不振?所以说, 面试官不想听大话和空话, 他要听的是一些实实在在的小措施, 能够让你常出差而不会太辛苦。
回答示范1: I traveled a lot in my last job。 I traveled almost every week。 As far as I know; this job requires travel; but not every week。 So it wouldn’t be worse than my last one。
点评1: 以事实来回答质疑, 永远是最上策。
回答示范2: I am very lucky that I can eat and sleep very well on trips。 I’ve never been carsick; and even when sitting on a train I can sleep well。 So; I never need to worry about frequent traveling。
点评2: 这是个很踏实很中肯的回答。有很多女性在出差的时候神经衰弱, 面有菜色, 凄惨无比, 老板当然希望你能够在出差时吃好、 睡好、 精神好。
回答示范3: I don’t worry about frequent travel because my daughter is taken care of by my parents; who are both welleducated scholars。 It is not a big deal for them to educate a twoyearold little thing。
点评3: 有家庭有小孩的申请人要主动告诉面试官自己是如何处理家庭和工作的关系的。这是一个很博得人好感的回答, 有教授级的老爸老妈来带自己两岁的小家伙, 还有什么后顾之忧呢?
21。 Most employees and bosses have some disagreements。 How did you react to these disagreements in your last job? 很多雇员都和老板有意见相左的时候, 在上一份工作中, 你是如何处理和老板意见不同的情况的?
问题分析: 这个问题通常会提给有几年工作经验的申请人。在这个问题上, 面试官希望捕捉的信息点是: 第一, 他是一个有主见的人, 还是一个唯老板之命是从的人?第二, 他是更信任自己的老板, 还是更信任自己?第三, 在真正意见相左的时候, 他是否能够高效地解决问题?
回答示范1: My last boss was very democratic。 He always listened to our opinions and gave us enough opportunities to defend them。 So we never had any trouble municating with each other when having disagreements。
点评1: 这个回答体现了对老板的赞赏。感恩, 是很令人欣赏的一种素质。
回答示范2: When I have disagreements with my boss; my first reaction is to doublecheck my opinions。 My boss is an expert and he’s been proven right most of the time。 If I do believe I’m right or partially right; I provide my boss with a detailed report listing all facts and numbers to prove my opinion。 Because my boss is extremely busy; I need to make the report simple but powerful; to help him make the decision。
第七节 外企面试最常见的36个英文问题(12)
点评2: 这个回答体现出了该申请人的两个优点: 第一, 在意见不合的情况下, 他首先会信任自己的老板, 检视自己的意见。第二, 他会以事实和详细的数据来支持自己的观点, 帮助工作繁忙的老板做出决策。善哉!
四、 Position and pany 关于所申请职位和公司的问题
22。 Why did you select this pany? 你为什么要选择这间公司?
回答示范1: Mars is an ideal employer for almost every fresh graduate; partly because the starting salary is very petitive; hehe。 But more importantly; Mars is well known for designing career paths for employees。 And; I have a personal reason when selecting Mars: my cats love Whiskas (伟嘉猫粮)
点评1: 这个回答体现了该申请人的两个特点: 第一, 他很诚实地告诉面试官, 应届毕业生当然对Mars趋之若鹜; 第二, 他因为爱猫而爱伟嘉猫粮, 再因爱伟嘉猫粮而爱Mars。
回答示范2: To be honest; it would be ideal for me; a fresh graduate who specializes in Accounting; to join any of the “big 4s”(四大会计师事务所) because each of the “big 4s” has its own advantages。 However; I’m particularly interested in KPMG for a very sentimental reason。 I was pletely fascinated by your career talk pared with yours; the other three panies are a bit boring; hehe。
点评2: 这个回答体现了该申请人的两个特点: 第一, 实话实说, 学会计的同学能进四大中的任何一个, 的确都是求之不得的美事; 第二, 善于巧妙地“拍马屁”, 告诉对方自己被他们的career talk感动了, 所以对该事务所情有独钟, 的确是一个很狡猾但是却很不错的回答。
回答示范3: Shengjia is a professional ERP software provider; and I’ve been interested in ERP for a very long time。 I believe ERP has a large market in China; even if this business may have some difficulties in the course of development。
点评3: 如果你要进入的是一个不太知名的公司, 那么你可以告诉面试官自己选择这间公司是因为自己对它所从事的业务有信心、 有兴趣。
回答示范4: I’ve been a loyal customer of Kangshifu for years。 That’s why I want to join this pany。 I am a big fan of instant noodles; especially the spicy noodles
点评4: 如果要谈对方的产品, 就要谈得感性一点, 不要流于形式。要显得热情火爆一些才能打动别人。这就比如一句简简单单的“你真棒!”必须要火辣性感地说出来才能打动面试官麻木的神经。
23。 Why did you decide to apply for this particular position? 你为什么要申请这份职位?
回答示范1: For the past three years I’ve been doing a similar job。 Though my current boss has given me a raise twice I’m still not quite pleased with my salary; I believe you can understand 1;800 Yuan is not a very good pay。 Now that I have this opportunity to get a higher pay; to work in a more wellknown pany; of course I would give it a try。
点评1: 这个回答有几个优点: 第一, 很真实, 为钱而跳槽, 是大多数人的换工理由; 第二, 强调了自己已经在过去单位工作三年的经历, 足够忠诚了; 第三, 强调了自己两次涨薪的事实, 说明自己一定有过优异的表现。
第七节 外企面试最常见的36个英文问题(13)
回答示范2: I decided to apply for this particular position because I’ve been doing something similar for the last year; however; I’m more interested and confident in the products and services you offer。 Online games are a newly developing business; like a new born baby; so I can do many things to help it grow healthily。 This would give me a great sense of satisfaction。 However; the wine business I am doing now is just like a grandparent; it's so mature that it doesn't give too much room for making changes。
点评2: 类似这样个性化的回答永远是最佳答案。如果你并没有转换工作性质, 而只是想转换工作领域, 比如从白酒行业转换到网络游戏行业, 不妨利用这个婴儿与老头的比喻去说服面试官吧。
回答示范3: My career choice actually has been influenced a lot by my mother。 She’s been an Admin and HR director in a large stateowned pany for over twenty years。 She impressed on me (反复强调) that HR jobs are suitable for women because they’re not influenced much by age; and females enjoy an equal opportunity of being promoted。 However; the other top positions like sales often go to men。 Besides family influence; I selected this job because I feel I am suited for it。 I'm easy going; trusted by others and interested in developing people。
点评3: 这是一个很好的回答: 真实, 又夸奖了自己。告诉对方自己的家庭很支持自己从事这份职业, 的确有加分的作用。
回答示范4: I want to be a Sales Rep because it suits my expectations。 First of all; I wish to get a pay based on my performance; you know; better results; better pay。 Secondly; I hope I will be going out; meeting people instead of sitting in the office; as I’m a very outgoing person。 What's more; sales; pared to other jobs; can improve my abilities most quickly。 I can learn how to observe others; how to persist; how to deal with coldness and rejection; and all these traits will help me to be successful in both career and personal life。
点评4: 说得好极了!非常好地概括了销售工作的优点, 体现了一个应届毕业生的活力和激情。
24。 Why do you think you’re qualified for this position? 你为什么觉得自己适合这个职位?
回答示范1: I think I’m qualified because the job duties of this position are 80% same as my last job。 And the remaining 20% shouldn’t be a big problem because I’m quick and eager to learn。 My ability to learn has been proven in my last job as well。
点评1: “我做过类似的工作”, 永远是最能说服面试官的杀手锏。
回答示范2: I studied your job ad and feel that I’m a good match。 I have very good writing skills and puter proficiency; which are much needed in this job。 Your ad mentions Excel and I am very confident about my Excel skills。 Actually; I’ve brought some forms I've made in Excel in my last job; but the data are not real; because of confidentiality policy; you know。
点评2: 这个答案很好, 把自己和招聘启事上提及的要求进行匹配, 而且还提供了“证据”。
25。 What about this position is especially attractive to you? 这份职位最吸引你的地方是什么?
第七节 外企面试最常见的36个英文问题(14)
回答示范1: I would be doing similar things as in my last job but with a higher salary in a more reputable pany。 That’s the main attraction of this position to me。
点评1: 干同样的活儿而拿更多的钱, 实话实说, 比“忽悠”强多了。
回答示范2: This position is especially attractive to me as it is offered by Huawei。 I trust Huawei。 I think my job will be more secure than working in smaller panies。 You know; if I perform well; I think I can have a long term development here。
点评2: 这是个很诚恳的回答, 因为大公司所提供的职位往往具有同样的优点: 工作稳定, 如果表现好会有长远的发展。
回答示范3: The best part of this job; I think; is that it gives me an opportunity to bee a professional in the shortest time。 I can master auditing with your prehensive training。 Learning a professional skill is particularly important to me as my major of Business English is a tool instead of a career。
点评3: 大公司通常以自己完善的培训体系为豪, 而应届毕业生也恰恰最需要这样的培训, 所以说, 这是个典型的“一拍即合”的回答, 惟一的缺点就是它可能过于大众化。这个申请人做得就很好, 他把自己的大学专业结合在答案中。他告诉面试官, 自己所学的英语专业不能算是一门职业, 只能是为了某个职业而服务的工具, 所以一份专业性强的工作对他来说格外有吸引力。
26。 What do you see in the position that is not attractive to you? 这份职位最不吸引你的地方是什么?
回答示范1: Frankly speaking; I still don’t know; since you never mentioned the downsides of this job either in the job ad or in the career talk。 However; the office location is certainly not ideal to me; as I live in Fangcun and your office is in Tianhebei; I might have to rent a room nearby if I get this job。
点评1: 一个很滑头的回答, 不过确实很巧妙, 变相地再一次表了忠心: 为了工作, 宁可搬家!
回答示范2: To be honest; I can’t see any at this moment。 But I’m prepared for some disappointments when I start doing it; as each job has a dark side。 So far I found only one small disappointment。 There is no subway station nearby so I may have to take a bus every day。 And I have to be more careful with my wallet and mobile phone; you know; pick pockets; hehe。
点评2: 这是个超级漂亮的回答, 既客观地承认了任何工作都会有不尽如人意之处, 也巧妙地利用幽默转移了话题。妙哉!
27。 Tell me what you know about our pany。 说说你对这间公司的了解吧。
回答示范1: Actually; what I know about your pany is mostly from the newspaper and internet。 For example; R&F (注释: 富力地产) is a fastgrowing pany; from one project in 1994; to 50 properties today。 R&F Plaza; R&F Peach Garden and some other properties are highly successful。 R&F also has successful business in Beijing and Tianjin; and the international expansion began in 2005 when R&F listed on the Hong Kong Stock Market。 What's more; I was very impressed that R&F
