1.外企英语面试中经典的问题回答
找工作，很多单位的面试都是英语面试,不要怕。有些问题经常被提及，本文就向您提供十六个经典问题的经典回答……

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", "I'm 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 toohard", " I expect others to perform beyond their capacities", " I like to see a job done quickly, and I'm critical if it isn't." 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 didn't you like about previous jobs you've held?

Discuss the things you didn't 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. You'll 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 you'd like to be president is unrealistic, yet few employers want people who are content to sit still. You might say, "in five years, I'd like to have my boss's job. " If you can't qualify for your boss's job by then, you may not be the fright candidate.

12. What are your salary expectations?

If you are asked this at the outset, it's best to say, "Why don't we discuss salary after you decide whether I'm 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 isn't 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?

Job titles and responsibilities vary from firm to firm . So state your skills instead, such as "I'm good at figure work," and the positions that require these skills , such as "accounts payable."

15. Tell me something about yourself.

Say you'll 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.

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
外企英文面试经验谈第三讲:个人和家庭情况

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.

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

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。
3.面试经验如何和外企老板谈高薪
你是否也有过这样的经历？踏破铁鞋终于在外企觅得一份中意的工作，却因为用英语和老板洽谈薪水问题时缺乏技巧而错失良机。那么快来看一看我们为你总结提炼的5点经验，说不定会带给你意想不到的收获哦！

　　第一招忽略

　　该怎样处理那些对过去的薪水记录有要求的申请或广告呢？关键句：Do not include salary require ments.（不要把你对薪水的要求写进去。）

　　也许你认为，如果不提及薪水问题的话，雇主根本看也不会看一眼，这岂不是在冒险？可是你有没有想过，倘若你在还未摸清薪水的可能变动幅度之前就突兀地把自己推销出去，这难道不是在冒更大的险吗？所以你最好这样写：I expecta salary commen sureate with my experience and the job‘s demands.你还可以加上“negotiable”，因为薪水问题通常都是可以进一步洽商的么。

　　第二招转移目标

　　假如面试时老板问你这样一句：What are you currently making？（你目前拿多少钱？），你该如何回答呢？关键句：What is important is not what I‘m making but my skills.（过去的工资并不重要，关键是我的工作能力。）

　　这个问题你千万要谨慎回答哦。如果你目前薪水太少的话，那么直接回答不会给你带来什么好处。我建议你可以这样说：What I‘m making is not important.What is important is whether or not my skills are what you need，and I‘m confident that ther ange will be fair.如果同时还有别的应聘者和你竞争的话，这样说可以让你不至于处于劣势。记住：过去的工资并不重要，关键是要展示你的工作能力以及你能为公司做的贡献。

　　第三招控制比例

　　当老板终于开始和你谈具体工资数目时，你该怎么开口呢？关键句：Get the employer to say a number first.（让雇主先说个数。）

　　每个雇主在心里对薪水的上下限度都有个数，他们经常会在那个限度内自由调整。他们手头掌握着你所不知的内情。当你不知道对方是怎样想的时候，你往往会自降身价。这岂不正中其下怀？所以呢，在你提出任何薪水要求之前，请务必搞清它的大致价位。假如它低于你的心理价位，你就定一个比你现在的薪水高至少10%-20%的价。倘若你现在这个位置拿的钱太少了，那么适当再抬高一些。

　　记住不要用具体的数字。如$45，000，这样很容易造成僵局。不妨让对方提出工资的幅度，比如$35，000-$40，000之间，你就可以这样说：We‘repretty close———I’m seeking arange of$38，000-$45，000，due to my extensivepr of essional experience and impressive achievements.How flexible is your upper salary range？这样双方就可以继续顺利讨论下去了。

　　第四招多留余地

　　如果你必须得先开价，那怎么办呢？

　　关键句：Make the low end as high as you are comfortable with.（勿将底线定得太低！）

　　给出一个大致和你心里想的相同的范围，但要记住：雇主往往会盯住你的底线，所以你不能把底线定得太低。If you make $3500，stetea range of $4200 to $5500 or so.给出的余地大，洽谈自然也就更灵活了。

　　第五招原则

　　当雇主想联系你从前的工作单位来核实你的工资，你该怎么办呢？

　　关键句：Think it over.（重新考虑一下这份工作吧。）

　　假如在面试时，像“Show us your pay stub.”（请出示你的工资单。）这样的问题让你感到非常不舒服，那么你该好好想一想了。进入这样的公司工作，你会有自由和尊重吗？说实话，你想和一个有威胁你的意图的人共同工作吗？我要提醒你的是：高薪固然重要，尊重也是必不可少的。一份赢得雇佣双方互相尊重的工作才是双赢（win-win）的结局。

4.面试经验英语面试前需要准备的几个问题
如果你找到了最理想的工作，但是有一件事还横在当中：面试。“万一我说错了什么怎么办？”你在想。别担心了！好消息是许多的雇主都在他们的面试中问同样的基本的问题。因此只要准备一下，你就可以避免胡言乱语而失去你梦想工作的可能性了。

　Tell me about yourself
　　面试者常常以这样的问题开始。记得，他们想要听到的是你的工作技巧，不是你的个人生活。不要说，"I was born in Taipei," "I like to play computer games,"或是"I have two brothers."告诉他们有关你职业生涯的发展，你学到的东西或是你是如何具体的某些工作技巧的。

　　What are your strengths?
　　继续，销售你自己！这个问题的关键是给出具体的例子。避免只是简单的列出几项，象："I'm really organized, punctual and get along well with others."接着具体的说到你刚才的提到的内容，"For example …"并解释你在之前的工作中是如何运用此特长的。

　　Why are you interested in working for our company?
　　雇主们想要知道你为什么想为他们工作。因此就让他们了解你很清楚公司的运营模式以及你对此工作非常有积极性。不要以"Umm," "I don't know," "It seemed like a good career move," 或是 "I haven't been able to find anything else interesting."开始。记得雇主们想知道你能带给公司什么，而不是公司能带给你什么！

　　Why did you leave your last job?
　　可能你上一份工作非常的糟糕，但是面试并不是谈论的合适的场合。就算是真的，不要对你现有的或是过去的雇主或是同事进行负面还是武断的评论："I didn't agree with the company's direction," "I got no recognition for my work," "My boss was totally unreasonable." 想这样的评论会让你听起来不可理喻。

　　Do you have any questions for me?
　　面试官通常以此问卷结束面试。询问具体的问题以显示你非常了解该公司，但却希望了解更多的内容。不要问那些你早就该知道答案的问题，象，"What does your company do?" 或是"Could you tell me your name again?" 此外，不要问薪水或是和假期相关的问题："When do you give raises?" "How much vacation time can I expect?" 在听到了他们告诉你，"We'd like to offer you the job."才去问此类的问题。

5.面试经验适度恭维-英语面试原则

　　一般来说，求职者在英语面试时，最重要的原则是诚实（honesty），也就是有一说一，有二说二，既不夸大，也不缩小，这样实话实说，往往可以赢得人事经理的好感。但是，求职者如果真的按照诚实原则去面试，99%会失败。

　　首先要声明的是，为人处世要诚实，这个原则无可争议。但求职者的面试，则属于一种比较特殊的情况，需要采取一定的谈话技巧。比如人事经理问你：Why did you leave your last job?（你为什么要辞去以前的工作），如果按照诚实原则，应当回答：我跟经理合不来，他快把我逼疯啦，我必须离开（请看下面）。但是这样回答之后，你肯定会给人事经理留下一个坏印象：这家伙可能是一个不太合群的人，他既然跟以前的上级合不来，说不定跟以后的上级也合不来。

　　My manager and I could not get along. He was driving me crazy and I needed to leave.

　　对于这个问题，正确的回答方法是：不要提及前任公司、前任经理的任何缺点，你可以随便找一个其它方面的理由，比如公司太远，上下班不方便等。在面试方面，我个人认为，最重要的一个原则不是诚实，而是适度的恭维（moderate flattery），也就是适度地恭维你想应聘的那家公司。因此对于这个问题，按照恭维原则，应当回答：以前那家公司太小，没有什么前途（请看下面），以此恭维应聘公司是一家大公司，适合留在这里长期工作。

　　It was a small company, not what I wanted in terms of my future.

　　再比如，人事经理问你：Why haven't you found a job by now?（为什么你直到现在还没有找到工作），如果按照诚实原则，应当回答：现在找工作太难啦，我看上人家，人家却看不上我。而按照恭维原则，应当回答：我对我以前的工作不太满意，所以我辞职之后进修去了，参加了一些培训，读了一些书，现在我终于知道我应当去哪里了（请看下面），以此恭维应聘公司是一个有档次的地方，只有那些知书达理的人，才会认识到它的价值。

　　I was unhappy in my career and took time out to take some classes and read some books, and now I know where I'm going.

　　当然，这个问题也可以这样回答：我对选择工作是非常挑剔的，我不想随便找一个没有挑战性的工作（请看下面），以此恭维应聘公司是一个有挑战性的地方。

　　I have been very selective in looking for the right job and I don't want to settle for one in which I will find myself unchallenged.

　　最后，如果人事经理问你：What kind of salary are you seeking?（你想要多少薪水），如果按照诚实原则，应当回答：我想要5000大洋（这种回答是面试的大忌），而按照恭维原则，应当回答：I'll consider the best offer you can make.（我会考虑您能提供的最高薪水），以此恭维应聘公司有鉴赏力和洞察力，能够根据一个职员的能力和经验，支付相应的报酬。

　　总之，社会是复杂的，书本上的原则，不一定完全适合社会。希望上面这些经验之谈能对那些初次接触社会的年轻朋友们有所帮助。
