6.2 外企面試指南
在應(yīng)聘外貿(mào)企業(yè)的時(shí)候,少不了的是提交一份簡(jiǎn)歷還要英文自我介紹,下面告訴你關(guān)于外企面試方面的技巧。
一、外企面試一般包括三輪
第一輪面試:
一般由公司人力資源部的人員擔(dān)任考官,他們會(huì)從你的個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷出發(fā),請(qǐng)你用英語(yǔ)做一個(gè)自我介紹。試圖在短短幾分鐘內(nèi)吸引面試官的注意力,你的簡(jiǎn)介當(dāng)然要是濃縮的精品。所以,前奏一般用一句話陳述自己的基本特征即可。然后迅速進(jìn)入正題,或選擇自己最引以為傲的經(jīng)歷敘述,或介紹自己的長(zhǎng)處。對(duì)話雙方:Interviewer (I)面試官Applicant (A)求職者。
例1:I:Give me a summary of your current job description.
。▽(duì)你目前的工作,能否做個(gè)概括的說(shuō)明。)
這是你展示自己的最佳機(jī)會(huì),不要吹噓自己或過(guò)于自負(fù),但要讓面試官知道你相信自己,知道自己的實(shí)力:
A:I have been working as a computer programmer for five years. To be specific, I do system analysis, trouble shooting and provide software support.
(我干了五年的電腦程序員。具體地說(shuō),我做系統(tǒng)分析,解決問(wèn)題以及軟件供應(yīng)方面的支持。)
第二輪面試:
由部門(mén)主管經(jīng)理出面,這時(shí)候有關(guān)業(yè)務(wù)方面的問(wèn)題成了面試的重點(diǎn),所以英語(yǔ)面試也從個(gè)人情況轉(zhuǎn)向了專業(yè)領(lǐng)域。比如應(yīng)聘市場(chǎng)部,則應(yīng)聘者通常會(huì)被要求談一談以往最成功的一個(gè)案例,或者自身的業(yè)務(wù)強(qiáng)項(xiàng)等。
例2:Why do you want to work for us?(你為什么想為我們工作?)
這個(gè)問(wèn)題是顯而易見(jiàn)的。如果你對(duì)該公司做過(guò)調(diào)查研究,你應(yīng)該能夠給出很好的理由。你要將你的理由歸結(jié)為幾句簡(jiǎn)短的話,清楚地表明你的興趣:
A:One reason that I would like to be employed with your firm is that you are dealing with import and export trade. I would look
(貴公司主要做進(jìn)出口貿(mào)易是本人欲在貴公司工作的原因之一,我渴望能同外國(guó)公司做生意,并借機(jī)鍛煉英文。)
例3:Q:Would you please say something about yourself?(請(qǐng)你談?wù)勛约旱那闆r好嗎?)
或者:What can you tell me about yourself?(關(guān)于你自己,你能告訴我些什么?)
面試是Interviewer與Applicant互相溝通的一種場(chǎng)合,這一問(wèn)題是在尋找有關(guān)你性格、資歷、志向和生活動(dòng)力的線索,需要積極正面回答,把面試官擺進(jìn)自己的談話當(dāng)中去,自然而然就起到了互相溝通的作用:
A:Do you want me to talk about my personal life or to say something about the job?
(你想讓我談?wù)勎覀(gè)人的生活呢,還是與這份工作有關(guān)的問(wèn)題?)
這種談話的方式所產(chǎn)生的效果是不言而喻的,接下來(lái),雙方就進(jìn)入較為靈活的話題。
例4:Why should I hire you?(為什么我應(yīng)該聘用你?)
你不要長(zhǎng)篇大論,而應(yīng)提供有關(guān)你資歷的扼要說(shuō)明。要肯定自己,表明你能勝任此項(xiàng)工作的能力:
A:With my strong academic background, I am capable and competent.
(憑借我良好的學(xué)術(shù)背景,我可以勝任自己的工作,而且我認(rèn)為自己很有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。)
例5:What goals have you set and how did you meet them?
(你確定過(guò)什么目標(biāo),你又是怎樣達(dá)到那些目標(biāo)的?)
這一問(wèn)題在考查你預(yù)先計(jì)劃和以具體行動(dòng)完成計(jì)劃的能力。你可答:
A:I now wish to enter an office where the work requires greater individual responsibility and judgment than here, and where there is more opportunity for advancement.
(目前,本人希望進(jìn)入一家可以擔(dān)負(fù)較大責(zé)任的公司,并希望能提供升遷機(jī)會(huì)。)
第三輪面試:
如果前面都很順利,最后一輪面試一般就是和公司的總裁面對(duì)面了。外企的總裁一般是老外,當(dāng)然面試就變成全英語(yǔ)的了。面試在求職過(guò)程中,可以說(shuō)是壓力最大的一個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)。而英語(yǔ)面試又是比較難的一環(huán),第三輪當(dāng)然是難上加難?偛迷儐(wèn)的問(wèn)題一般會(huì)和公司精神、企業(yè)文化、個(gè)人品質(zhì)、福利薪水有關(guān)。面對(duì)外國(guó)老板連珠炮似的提問(wèn),如果能回答得從容不迫、簡(jiǎn)明扼要,恰當(dāng)中肯,合乎口味,那么肯定會(huì)大大增加你的錄取機(jī)會(huì)。
例6:I:What provide you with a sense of accomplishment.(什么會(huì)讓你有成就感?)
A:Doing my best job for your company. (為貴公司竭力效勞。)
例7:I:How do you handle your failure?(你怎樣對(duì)待自己的失?)
A:None of us was born "perfect". I am sure I will be given a second chance to correct my mistake.
(我們大家生來(lái)都不是十全十美的,我相信我有第二個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)改正我的錯(cuò)誤。)
例8:I:How do you normally handle criticism?(你通常如何處理別人的批評(píng)?)
A:Silence is golden. Just don’t say anything; otherwise the situation could become worse. I do, however, accept constructive criticism.
(沉默是金。不必說(shuō)什么,否則情況更糟,不過(guò)我會(huì)接受建設(shè)性的批評(píng)。)
例9:I:What is most important in your life right now?(眼下你生活中最重要的是什么?)
A:To get a job in my field is most important to me. To secure employment hopefully with your company. I hope to demonstrate my ability and talents in my field adequately.
(對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),能在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域找到工作是最重要的。希望能在貴公司任職對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)最重要的。我希望能充分展示我在這個(gè)行業(yè)的能力和智慧。)
例10:I:How long would you like to stay with this company?(你會(huì)在本公司服務(wù)多久呢?)
A:I will stay as long as I can continue to learn and to grow in my field.
(只要我能在我的行業(yè)力繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)和長(zhǎng)進(jìn),我就會(huì)留在這里。)
例11:I:What range of pay-scale are you interested in?(你喜歡那一種薪水層次標(biāo)準(zhǔn)?)
A:Money is important, but the responsibility that goes along with this job is what interests me the most. (薪水固然重要,但這工作伴隨而來(lái)的責(zé)任更吸引我。)
例12:I:Do you know what's involved in a position like this?
(你知道我們這個(gè)職位是要付出很大的努力的嗎?)
A:Yes. I know exactly what's involved. I am a hard worker and will perform to the best of my ability."
(我完全明白你的意思。我工作也很努力,并且會(huì)盡力發(fā)揮我的力量。)
