英語(yǔ)面試：如何巧妙回答5個(gè)經(jīng)典面試題

　　It’s the job interview of your life and you need to come up with something fast. Mental pictures of words are mixing in your head and your tongue tastes like alphabet soup. Youmutter words like "deterministic" or "innovativity" and you realize you’re drenched in sweat. You wish you had thought about this.

　　你現(xiàn)在在一場(chǎng)重要的面試上，要求你快速做出反應(yīng)。各種單詞在腦中攪成一團(tuán)，舌頭就跟打了結(jié)一樣，你只能咕噥地說(shuō)些“有決斷力”或者“創(chuàng)新能力”這樣的詞，并且你意識(shí)到自己已經(jīng)汗流浹背。這時(shí)你會(huì)想，要是之前準(zhǔn)備過(guò)就好了。

　　1.What can you tell me about yourself?

　　1.關(guān)于你自己，你能告訴我些什么?

　　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. 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.

　　這一問(wèn)題并非在請(qǐng)你大談你的個(gè)人歷史。雇主是在尋找有關(guān)你性格、資歷、志向和生活動(dòng)力的線索。下面是一個(gè)積極正面回答的好例子："大學(xué)期間，我曾在一家服裝店打工，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我能輕而易舉地將東西推銷出去。銷售固然重要，但對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，更重要的是要確信顧客能夠滿意。不久便有顧客返回那家服裝店點(diǎn)名讓我為他們服務(wù)。

　　2.What‘s your greatest weakness?

　　2.你最大的缺點(diǎn)是什么?

　　This is a popular question that employers like to ask to make candidates nervous! In fact, they ask this to know how you respond to a difficult question. You shouldn’t answer by telling your greatest weakness since you might not get the job! Instead, you can tell them something that isn’t directly related to the job position.

　　老板特別愛(ài)問(wèn)這個(gè)問(wèn)題，讓面試者感到很緊張。事實(shí)上，他問(wèn)這個(gè)問(wèn)題是看你對(duì)棘手問(wèn)題的反應(yīng)。你沒(méi)必要如實(shí)回答你的弱點(diǎn)，因?yàn)槟怯锌赡茏屇愕貌坏竭@份工作。相反，你可以告訴他們一些與工作不直接相關(guān)的事情。

　　3.Why should I hire you?

　　3.為什么我應(yīng)該聘用你?

　　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.

　　同樣，你不應(yīng)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。

　　4.What kind of salary did you have in mind?

　　4.你期望的薪水是多少?

　　Salary is how much money you earn, usually per year. When asked this, it‘s best to answer with a salary range or approximation and not an exact figure. This shows that you are familiar with the industry if you know what the approximate salary should be.

　　[cn]“salary”就是你賺多少錢，通常是年收入?；卮疬@個(gè)問(wèn)題時(shí)，最好說(shuō)出一個(gè)大致范圍，而不是一個(gè)確切的數(shù)字。如果你能說(shuō)出這個(gè)工資范圍，那就說(shuō)明你對(duì)此行業(yè)非常了解。

　　5.What would you like to be doing five years from now?

　　從今以后5年內(nèi)你想做些什么?

　　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.

　　你要清楚你實(shí)際上能勝任什么。你可以事先和他人交流一番。問(wèn)問(wèn)他們?cè)谀彻镜念^5年都做了些什么。
