Hello, my name is Christine. I am the human resources manager of an investment company. Our company is mainly dealing with the corporate finance and also fixed income businesses and our employees are recruited from a number of countries in the world.
你好，我叫克里斯丁，是一間投資公司的人資經理。我們公司的主要業務是公司融資以及固定收入業務，職員來自世界各地。
1. Q:能否告訴我們哪位應聘者給您留下深刻的印象？爲什麼？
Err... yes. I met one candidate before. He was very impressive because, like, he has very full preparation on our company during the interview and he conduct, like, good research on the company's core business and also the industry. He was not only, like, memorising and telling the interviewer all the financial figures like robot. I could see that he did a lot of homework on our company. And on himself, he greet and also with a firm handshake with the interviewer and also a smile - very sincere. And also he close the interview also by very warm handshake and also a genuine thank-you. So... and also... like... on himself, he has a very thorough preparation, for example, he listen and also think very carefully before he's answering the questions and also he speak very clearly and confidently. Also he use, like... very practical examples to illustrate his skills and show that he suit the role and also the company. And also, I can see that he show very... like... eagerness on... for the role. So that's the most impressed... like... candidate I have met so far.
呃，是，我以前見過一個候選人。他給我留下了很深刻的印象，因爲他在面試期間做了非常全面的準備，對我們公司的核心業務以及整個行業做了翔實的調查。他不是像個機器人一樣死記硬背所有財務數據，然後生硬地告訴面試官。我可以看出他是真的準備了很多我們公司的相關資料。關於他本人，他能夠很真誠地和麪試官問好、穩當地握手並且附帶非常誠懇的微笑。面試結束，他也會和麪試官握手，並且誠摯地道謝。他的準備很充分，比如，在回答每個問題之前，他都會認真地聽問題、並且仔細思考。回答問題時吐字清晰、非常自信。他會用很具體的例子來展示他的技能，以此告訴面試官他是適合應聘的職位以及公司的。我也能看出來，他真的很想得到那個職位。所以這是我到目前爲止遇到的最印象深刻的應聘者。
2 Q: 您能否給我們舉一個應聘者搞砸了面試的例子？他應該怎麼做？
Err... in fact I have met two candidates. There were two cases. One of the candidates is too arrogant. The candidate... like... was talking too much, like pride about himself and how capable he was... looks like that sooner or later he will become to CEO of the company. I think... like... most employers prefer... like... humble type rather than arrogant type. I think the employer... like... can find out how capable the candidate will be if they decide to give them a job offer. So I don't think... like... boast yourself is the best approach during the interview.
事實上我見過兩位應聘者。這裏可以舉兩個例子。其中一個非常傲慢，這個人能侃，老說自己是多麼多麼能幹，看起來就像遲早有一天他會成爲公司總裁一樣的感覺。我覺得大多數僱主喜歡更加謙遜的人。在我看來，僱主之所以會聘請一個人，是因爲他可以自己從應聘者身上找出其長處。所以我認爲在面試過程中吹噓你自己是下策。
And another candidate also... who messed up during the interview process is too shy. The candidate was too shy to talk and only provide one-word answer. So we don't have any chance to explore... like... further on a candidate's experience and also ability.
另外一個應聘者因爲太害羞，所以表現不好。他害羞到講不出話來，說話也基本上都是單音節的。所以我們無法在他身上看出他過去的經驗以及能力。
