面试时，我们会面对形形色色的问题，而最令人哑口无言的，往往是一些最简单和最常见的题目，比如 " 请你自我介绍一下 " 。大多数应征者的反应是 -- 我应该如何作答呢？

其实要懂得应对此问题，就要先做好准备 You'll have a better chance of impressing the interviewer if you think about this question before the interview.

The first thing to realize is that the question, "Tell me about yourself," provides you with a great chance to promote your strong points. This is particularly important when applying for a job that is different from what you have done in the past. You need to show the interviewer that your previous jobs provide you with skills that can be used in the new job.

WHAT TO TALK ABOUT 如何介绍？

你可以选择三个重点来介绍自己，但避免重复履历中曾提及的资料。 Around this skeleton should be the meat of your answer; your less obvious, but important skills. Here are some of the skills that you might want to mention. 你可以介绍自己是：

Problem solver 解决问题能手
Creative thinker 充满创意
Accurate 小心谨慎
People person 与人相处融洽
Team player 合群
Organized 组织力高

This doesn't mean that you just say, "I'm a great problem solver." Instead, explain how you used your problem-solving skills at your previous job. 事例比自我夸耀更能说明问题。

自我介绍的时间不要过长，最好是一至三分钟。最初你可能会觉得时间太长，但当你真正要介绍自己三项特质时，你就会发现时间不够用了。

WHAT TO SAY 应说什么？

What you actually say, in terms of the words you use, is something that you have to decide. You need to create an answer that sounds natural and, at the same time, interesting. 背答案估计没有人愿意听。 The way to determine whether your answer is natural is simply by writing a first draft of the answer and then read it out loud. When you do this, you'll probably spot things that you have to change.

当你构思答案时，你要想想应该如何说出，内容要令人感兴趣，不沉闷，避免滔滔不绝地只说自己的强项。

Here are some final things to think about when answering the question "Tell me about yourself."

Mention major awards or accomplishments that relate to your career;
阐述工作上的重要成就或奖项

Promote your strengths, but do not mention any of your weaknesses;
推销自己的长处，但不要提及自己的弱点

Try to be funny if you can, but don't force it;
可以的话，尽量说得幽默有趣

Summarize your career and education, but don't recite a list;
概括说出你的工作经验和学历，但切勿背诵

Don't start with your date of birth;
不用提及你的出生日期

Avoid information that is not career-related. The fact that you own a dog won't get you a job
避免说一些与职业无关的事，例如：你有一只狗，这并不能为你争取到工作

Always answer this question
经常思考和解答这条问题

Try to sound natural
对答要自然

Relax and enjoy yourself!
放松心情，尽力而为。祝你面试成功！

学历不代表一切 求职十大成功秘诀和十大误区

---

　来源：QQ校园论坛  Bizwo.com 2006-11-12 22:32:41

　　秘诀一：冷静

　　面试时要应对压力，冷静作答。一些要求具有足够的反应能力、应变能力的岗位，面试官会故意制造紧张气氛、安排多人轮番提问，向求职者施压。应聘者要作好思想准备，回答要吐字清晰，有条有理，绝不能大失常态。——武汉红桃K集团公司人事管理室主任安湘东

　　秘诀二：简历“简”

　　简历要有亮点。招聘会上人很多，招聘人员一般2—4分钟就看完一份简历，因此，简历不用太厚，要突出亮点，尤其是与所应聘的岗位相关的个人特质。简明扼要的简历传播信息最准确。——武汉统一企业食品有限公司人力发展主办王永森

　　秘诀三：乐观

　　在招聘过程中，常会提出一些问题来询问求职者，看他们面对问题是否积极思考解决方法，而不是一味计较后果、得失。成功的人看机会，失败的人看问题。——百胜餐饮(武汉)有限公司总经理李传章

　　秘诀四：真诚

　　求职者应能够清楚认识自己，客观评价自己，即知道自己做过什么、能做什么、想做什么。这是对企业负责，也更有利于自己的发展。真诚地与求才企业交流是成功求职的基本点。——武汉可口可乐饮料有限公司人事行政经理周慧霖

　　秘诀五：实践

　　鼓励学生进入企业实习。很多大学生利用在企业实习、兼职或参与企业举办的活动，让自己有充分的机会在目标企业内展示才能、增加经验、熟悉 玖鞒獭Ｕ庋难纺苑浅Ａ榛睿笾俺晒Φ募嘎视Ω帽扔牍就耆挥薪哟ス娜艘摺?mdash;——联想(武汉)公司总经理唐雄华

　　秘诀六：重点“捕鱼”

　　集中有限精力重点“捕捞”。特别是一些自身条件比较优秀的求职者，应根据自身的职业规划，选取数家心仪的用人单位，加强对它们的了解，利用 各种途径有针对性的发出重点“进攻”。否则，网撒得过大，精力花费不少，收获却不见得会成正比。——华工科技产业股份有限公司人力资源部经理张勤

　　秘诀七：第一印象

　　第一印象最重要。作为日化企业，面对的都是最终消费者，因此外在形象很重要。应聘时，男生西装、皮鞋、领带“一样都不能少”；女生最好着套 装，化淡妆，并要注重细节，如服装要搭配得当、千万不可有头皮屑等。良好的第一印象会让求职者很快通过首轮面试。——丝宝集团人力资源部经理胡学东

　　秘诀八：自信

　　每个企业都有用人标准，但这个条件绝不是“死杠杠”，自信的人总有机会。武商量贩店属服务性行业，对应聘者的外形有要求，几年前在市财贸学 校招聘时，有个男生身高不够，但他没有因此放弃，而是竭力向聘方推销自己的优势：成绩好、能力强、表现好等等，最终他的自信和毅力打动了招聘人员，被破格 录用。进入公司后，他工作非常出色，现已进入武商量贩的干部储备群。——武商量贩公司人事高级经理朱曦

　　秘诀九：自我推荐

　　应聘时，要让用人单位在极短的时间里了解你的特长。要使他们知道你掌握了哪些知识，优势何在，并让他们明白你能为公司做些什么。——武汉海德广告公司事业拓展中心副经理杨俊

　　秘诀十：仪表

　　注重自己的身体仪态，动作姿势。优雅的举止和得体的谈吐能体现一个人的风度，和所达到的教育水平。——武汉小蓝鲸健康美食管理公司董事长刘国梁

　　十大误区

　　不重视细节，心态急躁。——武汉统一企业食品有限公司人力发展主办王永森

　　过度包装、刻意表现。——武汉红桃K集团公司人事管理室主任安湘东

　　学历代表一切。——百胜餐饮(武汉)有限公司总经理李传章

　　将学历与职位挂钩。——联想(武汉)公司总经理唐雄华

　　在简历上弄虚作假、夸大其词，在实际中玩弄经验。——武汉可口可乐饮料有限公司人事行政经理周慧霖

　　不自然，刻意使用求职技巧来掩饰弱点。——丝宝集团人力资源部经理胡学东

　　过于谦虚，缺乏自信。——华工科技产业股份有限公司人力资源部经理张勤

　　没有主见、从众，盲目就业。——武商量贩公司人事高级经理朱曦

　　不能恰如其分地表达自己的特长，缺点等。介绍优势时盛气凌人，介绍弱点时自惭形秽，这些都不会让你给用人单位留下好印象。——武汉海德广告公司事业拓展中心副经理杨俊

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

如何用英语回答外企面试常见问题

　来源：中青网  Bizwo.com 2006-10-11 13:06:05

1. "What can you tell me about yourself?" This is not an invitation to give your life history. The interviewer is looking for clues about your character, qualifications, ambitions, and motivations
The following is a good example of a positive response. "In high school I was involved in competitive sports and I always tried to improve in each sport I participated in. As a college student, I worked in a clothing store part-time and found that I could sell things easily. The sale was important, but for me, it was even more important to make sure that the customer was satisfied. It was not long before customers came back to the store and specifically asked for me to help them. I'm very competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best."

"关于你自己，你能告诉我些什么？"这一问题并非在请你大谈你的个人历史。雇主是在寻找有关你性格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索

下 面是一个积极正面回答的好例子："在高中我参加各种竞争性体育活动，并一直努力提高各项运动的成绩。大学期间，我曾在一家服装店打工，我发现我能轻而易举 地将东西推销出去。销售固然重要，但对我来说，更重要的是要确信顾客能够满意。不久便有顾客返回那家服装店点名让我为他们服务。我很有竞争意识，力求完美 对我很重要。"

"Why do you want to work for us? This is an obvious question and, if you have done your research on the company, you should be able to give a good reason. 0rganize your reasons into several short sentences that clearly spell out your interest.

"You are a leader in the field of electronics. Your company is a Fortune 5O0 company. Your management is very progressive." 　

"你为什么想为我们工作？"这是个明确的问题。如果你对该公司做过调查研究，你应该能够给出很好的理由。你要将你的理由编成几句简短的话清楚地表明你的兴趣。

如可答："你们在电子领域是领头人。你们公司是《财富》杂志评选的500强之一。你们的管理很先进。"

"Why should I hire you?" Once again, you should not be long winded, but you should provide a summary of your qualifications. Be positive and show that you are capable of doing the job.

Based on the internships that I have participated in and the related part-time experiences I have had, I can do the job.
"为什么我应该聘用你？"同样，你不应长篇大论，而应提供有关你资历的扼要说明。要肯定自己，表明你能胜任此项工作。

如答："根据我参加过的实习和与此相关的打工经历。我能胜任。"
4. "How do you feel about your progress to date?" Never apologize for what you have done.

"I think I did well in school. In fact, in a number of courses I received the highest exam scores in the class." "As an intern for the X Company, I received some of the highest evaluations that had been given in years.

"对于你至今所取得的进步你是怎样看的？"绝不要对你以前的所作所为表示内疚。

如可答："我认为我在学校表现不错。事实上，有好几门功课我的成绩居全班第一。""在某公司实习时，我获得了该公司数年来给予其雇员的好几项最高评价。"

What would you like to be doing five years from now?" Know what you can realistically accomplish. You can find out by talking to others about what they accomplished in their first five years with a particular company.

"I hope to be the best I can be at my job and because many in this line of work are promoted to area manager, I am planning on that also."

"从今以后5年内你想做些什么？"你要清楚你实际上能胜任什么。你可以事先和他人交流一番。问问他们在某公司的头5年都做了些什么。

如可答。"我希望能在我的职位上尽力做好工作，由于在同一领域工作的许多人都被提为区域负责人，所以我亦有此打算。"
51Test6. "What is your greatest weakness?" You cannot avoid this question by saying that you do not have any, everyone has weaknesses.

The best approach is to admit your weakness but show that you are working on it and have a plan to overcome it. If possible, cite a weakness that will work to the company's advantage. "I' m such a perfectionist that I won't stop until a job is well done.

面试英文须知

 

 

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 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. I enjoy playing soccer in my free time and traveling.

答: 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。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: 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。

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 organization＇s 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 haven＇t 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. 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："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："I＇ve spoken to Mr. Smith about the responsibilities 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"do a job"，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："This is what you expect, this is what I will do." 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，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："I really like that. I am energized by 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，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。

面试中总有些问题是不好回答的，招聘人员往往根据你的回答来判断你的个人品质，工作风格和可能存在的问题。

1. Why are you leaving your present job? 你为什么要辞掉现在的工作？

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？

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？

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？

讲到职业选择，应该设法和所应聘的行业和职位相连。"I see three areas of interest..."

12. How would you describe the essence of success? According to your definition of success, how successful have you been so far? 你如何定义成功？根据你的定义，你认为到现在为止你有多成功？

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. 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? 当你雇人的时候你会看重什么？
