好像每年的春季都是辭職、跳槽的高峰期。這邊剛把現(xiàn)公司上一年的事情都結(jié)算清楚,那邊下家也找得差不多了。這個找下家的過程中,面試是必不可少的一個環(huán)節(jié)。今天,我們就專門針對跳槽群體,聊一聊面試時常問的14個問題,并給出一些回答方面的建議。
>>Question 1: Can you tell me something about yourself?
問題1:能介紹一下你自己嗎?
回答這個問題的時候,要重點(diǎn)突出與這個工作崗位相關(guān)的個人信息,比如,你做過什么工作,擅長什么,對職業(yè)發(fā)展有什么期望,等等。
【回答范例】
I like to manage people and be involved in interesting projects. I have been working for IBM for the past six years, but I am looking for a new challenge right now. I like to do sports, especially athletics. I spend free time with my wife and kids.
>>Question 2: Why did you apply for this job?
問題2:你為什么應(yīng)聘這個工作?
回答這個問題的關(guān)鍵是,你要多說說對這家公司和這個職位的了解,也不是接著介紹你自己。所以,面試之前要做功課,上這個公司的網(wǎng)站好好了解一下背景,對于應(yīng)聘的職位也要有個基本的了解。

>I really like the job description and the working duties on this position. I believe to be a perfect match for the job and a potential asset for your team. That’s why I submitted my application. I have similar working experience too…
I decided to apply because I really like the vision of your company and the career growth possibilities. I can use my full potential at this position and help your company to grow and prosper.
>>Question 3: Why did you leave your last job? / Why are you planning to leave your present job?
問題3:你為什么離開上一家公司?/你為什么想離開現(xiàn)在的公司?
回答這個問題的時候切記一點(diǎn):不要詆毀之前的公司或者同事,你應(yīng)該多說一說對于未來的展望,而不是糾結(jié)于過去。
【回答范例】
My last job was not challenging enough. I was not motivated to wake up to work anymore. I liked my colleagues and boss, but I simply can’t keep myself motivated anymore. Based on the job description I really believe that I can find new motivation and challenges in your company.
There was a downsizing in our company. Similarly to most people from financial department, my contract was terminated. However, it is the past. I am ready to utilize all the knowledge and experience I gained there to start my new career, possibly in your corporation.
>>Question 4: Can you tell me something about your education?
問題4:能說一說你的教育背景嗎?
有些雇主和職位會比較看重教育背景,名校畢業(yè)或者M(jìn)BA學(xué)位等資歷可能會加分。但是,如果你的教育背景不是那么出色,你可以重點(diǎn)講一講你在過去的經(jīng)歷中學(xué)習(xí)到的豐富知識,不用在畢業(yè)學(xué)校這一類事情上太糾結(jié)。
【回答范例】
I have studied at ABC University. I acquired knowledge of statistics, project management and process management. I was active during my studies and took part in practical projects and courses too. Overall my studies were pretty practical and I believe to be ready for job of a project manager.
>>Question 5: Can you tell us something more about your working experience?
問題5:你能不能多跟我們說說你的工作經(jīng)歷?
回答這個問題的時候,挑一些跟目前應(yīng)聘的職位最相關(guān)的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)說一說即可。當(dāng)然,如果你之前只有一個工作經(jīng)驗(yàn),那么,無論是否有關(guān)都得好好說一說了。
【回答范例】
I have done lot of things in my life. It helped me to gain a good overall understanding of business. From 2001 to 2004 I worked as a project manager for Siemens. We were working mostly on smaller energetic projects, water plants built on rivers. I believe that I can utilize the knowledge and contacts I gained there in your company. I learned how to budget the projects and lead it from the scratch to completion and success. From my other working experience I can mention my role of marketing manager I hold in CDE from 1998 to 2001 and my freelancing experience from 2005 to 2009. If you want, we can discuss it in detail.
>>Question 6: Why should we hire you?
問題6:我們?yōu)槭裁匆赣媚悖?/strong>
這是面試中最難回答的一個問題。不過,要是回答好了,絕對能給面試加分。在這個問題上,你還拿出之前自我介紹那一套說辭是不行的,你得把你的“獨(dú)特賣點(diǎn)”拿出來,有什么特質(zhì)是你用而別的應(yīng)聘者沒有的?你能為這個公司帶來什么明顯的收益?
【回答范例】
I have a relevant experience and I am strongly motivated to work for your company, as it has always been my dream to work there.
I fulfill all the job requirements. However, I am sure some other applicants do fulfill it too. But I am a nice guy and always try to create a good atmosphere on the workplace. This helps, especially nowadays, when people are stressed and negative about everything.
I believe that I bring success with me. All the companies where I worked were prospering. It is good to have such a worker in your team, isn’t it?
>>Question 7: What are your strengths?
問題7:你的優(yōu)勢是什么?
回答時挑出跟當(dāng)前職位相關(guān)的一兩個優(yōu)勢說一說即可。
【回答范例】
I am very responsible and always accomplish all my duties on time.
I am pretty organized, what is strongly reflected in a quality of my work.
I have good communication skills. I believe that communication skills are crucial in every job, but especially in this one.
>>Question 8: What are your weaknesses?
問題8:你的缺點(diǎn)是什么?
之前的問題,我們都建議你挑出跟工作相關(guān)的內(nèi)容來回答,但是,這個問題,建議你挑一些跟工作不太相關(guān)的缺點(diǎn)來回答。而且,回答的時候,你要突出表達(dá)想要盡快改掉這個缺點(diǎn)的意愿。這樣的做人態(tài)度是雇主們愿意看到的。
【回答范例】
I am not very patient. That’s obviously bad. But I am working on it every day, trying to control myself and be more tolerant to the others. It’s not easy, but I definitely made good progress in recent years.
Sometimes I struggle to concentrate in job. However, I practice every day and my concentration has improved over the years. I try to eliminate other thoughts and focus purely on my job.
I trust people too much. It is nice to live with such feelings, but it caused me many troubles in the past. However, as I am getting older, I can much better distinguish friends from foes.
>>Question 9: What are your goals in five years horizon?
問題9:五年內(nèi),你想達(dá)到什么目標(biāo)?
回答這個問題的時候,千萬不要說自己過幾年想要創(chuàng)業(yè)單干。沒有公司想招個人進(jìn)來,過兩年就辭職單干了。所以,回答的時候可以說一說個人目標(biāo),自己的職業(yè)發(fā)展目標(biāo)要與公司相關(guān)。
【回答范例】
My goal is to become a better manager and to help my employer to achieve exceptional results as a company.

I would like to have a really good job in five years time. However, I understand that firstly I need to learn a lot and I believe that this position is a perfect start for me.
>>Question 10: What are your biggest achievements so far?
問題10:到目前為止,你最大的成就是什么?
成就要遠(yuǎn)比經(jīng)歷重要。我們每個人或多或少都有些成就,只是我們自己沒有意識到罷了。面試中提到的成就可以是生活方面的,也可以是工作方面的。比如,你原來抽煙,但是后來戒了,這也可以說明你的意志力很強(qiáng)。
【回答范例】
I ran marathon under three hours. I trained for it very hard and it strengthened me both physically and mentally.
When I hold Sales Manager job at ABC Inc., the sales grew by twenty percent every year.
I became a better person over the years. I learned to listen to the others and see the good in people. I consider this as the biggest achievement of my life.
>>Question 11: What characterize a good boss/ colleague from your point of view?
問題11:你覺得,一個好老板、好同事應(yīng)該是什么樣的?
這個問題主要是看看你的情商夠不夠高,能不能在公司里跟大家和睦相處;卮鸬锰唧w,明確表明自己對同事的喜好,并不是一個可取的辦法。最好回答得籠統(tǒng)一些,表明自己性格隨和,跟誰都能相處愉快。
【回答范例】
I can get along with everyone. All I want to be sure about when it comes to my boss and colleagues is that they are qualified for the job we do. When I see the level of proficiency in this interview, I am sure they are.
There is nothing like an ideal boss for me. I simply focus on my job and duties and try to avoid any conflicts with other employees. We are all different and I respect the individuality of each human being.
>>Question 12: What are your salary expectations?
問題12:你期望的薪資是多少?
如果不是面試官首先提出,你不要自己提薪資方面的問題;卮鸬臅r候,首先要表明薪資并不是你應(yīng)聘這個職位的首要因素,如果一定要回答一個具體的數(shù)字,那么一定不要低于你心理的那個預(yù)期薪資水平。所以,面試之前還是要做功課,了解該職位的薪資水平。
【回答范例】
First of all, salary is not a deciding factor for me. I really like the job description and want to get this job. Therefor, I will accept an average salary for this position what is something between $35,000 and $40,000, according to my knowledge and statistics from salaries.com.
>>Question 13: When can you start the job?
問題13:你什么時候能到崗?
公司當(dāng)然希望你越快到崗越好,如果你目前還沒有離職,需要一段時間做工作交接,那也要說明白,并且表示你愿意盡早到崗的意愿。
【回答范例】
I am ready to start as soon as possible.
I could possibly start tomorrow, but I want to finish the project I currently work on. It would be very unprofessional and irresponsible if I left now. I need two or three weeks to finish the work and train colleagues to continue it. Then I can start here.
>>Question 14: Do you have any questions?
問題14:你有什么問題嗎?
面試過程中一般都會有提問的機(jī)會,究竟該問些什么?首先,崗位職責(zé)描述中已經(jīng)說得很清楚的事情就不要問了,其次,面試過程中已經(jīng)討論過的也不要問。你可以問一些真正跟這個職位或公司發(fā)展相關(guān)的問題。
【回答范例】
What are the next steps of interviewing process?
Can you tell me something more about the working environment?
What are the goals of your company (sales department) in one, five and ten years time?
