 1. Would you briefly describe this company to me? 介紹一下你的原單位,好嗎?

外企面試常見的英文問題:關於工作經驗

問題分析:當老外提出這個問題的時候,他心裏的疑問是:“這個公司我從來沒有聽說過,是否是個名不見經傳的小公司?”所以,在向老外介紹自己工作單位的時候,要着重強調公司的優點,規模大的強調規模,人數多的強調人數。如果你所在的公司業務總量很小,你可以告訴面試官,業務總量不大但是平均到每個員工的業務量卻相當驚人!

回答示範:“廣盛發”,the name means “a big, prosperous company”, hehe, although it’s not really a very big company. But, it’s true that the company is quite prosperous. It specializes in exporting women’s shoes. With only 10 employees so far the turnover last year was up to 15,000,000 RMB. I am one of the three customer service officers, with the responsibility of order taking, tracking and general customer service roles. Due to the limited number of staff, we all work more than 10 hours a day, 7 days a week in busy season.

點評:很明顯,這個回答既體現了自己原來的公司的規模, 也暗示了自己能夠適應繁忙工作的特點。

 2. Would you describe your typical working day? 請你描述一下自己典型的一天的工作吧。

問題分析:在這個問題上,面試官希望捕捉到的資訊點是:第一,這個傢伙原來乾的工作和我們現在這份工作到底有多少是類似的?第二,他在原來工作單位表現到底怎麼樣?所以,在描述自己的工作內容時,要注意突出兩個資訊點:第一,用事實突出自己繁忙併且業績不錯的優點; 第二,要着意強調一下和所申請工作類似的內容。

回答示範:Yes. I would arrive at office half an hour earlier as my boss often gives me a lot of work once he comes in, and I have to be ready for it. My responsibilities are mainly to assist the sales manager and representatives with order tracking, stock reporting, document preparation and translation, using Excel, Word and PowerPoint. When the reps are on a business trip, I will deal with their share. Two thirds of my work involves computers, working on tables and forms precisely and quickly. The rest of time is to take care of the managers and reps, you know, do what they need me to.

點評:用事實說明自己是個敬業的人。在描述工作內容的時候,有細節性描述,也有總結性描述,非常清晰。

3. Why do you want to leave your job? 你爲什麼要離職?

回答示範1:To be honest, the reason I quit is that I am not pleased by my current job. My current work is in a vocational high school. Maybe I have to explain a bit more here. In China, vocational high schools are designed for the less-advanced students or the ones wanting work instead of going to university to further their education. As a result, the social status and the pay in vocational high schools are not at all satisfactory. I can never become a professor in this school. So, although teaching makes me happy, I have to leave this job because I can’t have long-term career development here.

點評1:相當一部分申請人辭職的原因都是爲了“長遠的職業發展”,因爲在目前的工作中“看不到前途和未來”或者“缺乏挑戰和創新”。這些其實都是合理的理由,但是,務必要把看不到前途和未來的原因解釋清楚,要讓面試官知道,沒有前途不是你個人能力缺乏所致,而確實是客觀因素使然。此外,在涉及中國特殊現象的時候,比如職業高中教育,比如中等專科學校教育等等,要把具體的情況解釋清楚,否則,老外絕對不會了解中專教師爲什麼不像大學教師那麼爽。

回答示範2:Mainly for the higher pay. I have been serving as an accountant for this joint venture for nearly 3 years and my salary increased from 1,800 to 2,300, a fair raise actually. In the last two performance evaluations, I got two Bs in a row. I can earn 3,000 only by becoming a director, which is almost impossible because the current one is stable and performs well; he is not likely to leave. But of course, I am not working only for money. Changing jobs is asking for trouble. I am doing so for my career. This position is similar to my current one, and the company is a quite large, suitable one for long-term development. So, here I am.

點評2:一箇中肯的回答,既誠實地告訴面試官自己似乎爲錢而跳槽,也告訴了他自己在原崗位上沒有拿到更高的薪水並非是工作表現不好,而是受到了公司規章制度的限制。同時,也強調了自己已經在原單位效忠3年的良好記錄。不錯!

回答示範3: The former company hasn’t done well in the past 2 years, they have to make some redundancy and our department is lucky enough to be one of them. What a pity.

點評3:公司裁員很少發生,不過如果事實如此,你需要解釋出自己被裁減的原因是因爲整個部門被關閉,而不是你個人表現欠佳而被裁減。同時,展示了一下自己的幽默, 很好。

回答示範4: Frankly speaking, I want to leave the job simply because I’m attracted by the position you offer. Compared with my current employer, Global Market is so much more renowned, offering a secure job and a long-term development. My current employer now offers an okay salary, but the career opportunities here are very limited because the size of business is relatively small. I think you can understand my choice.
