最常見的外企面試英文問題
近年來,隨著越來越多的外商的進駐,很多人在應聘的過程中都很有可能會被要求參加英語面試。下面是CN人才網(wǎng)小編為大家整理的,希望對大家有所幫助。
最常見的外企面試英文問題
一、 Personal Information 關于個人信息的問題
1. What’s the meaning of your English name? 你的英文名字有什么含義么?
回答示范: The name King may sound a bit aggressive, I hope it won’t make you feel uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, I chose the name King simply because it sounds like my Chinese name Jing. But, there is also a hidden meaning in it, that is, I wish to conquer diseases like a King!
2. What’s the meaning of your email address? 你的電子郵件地址有什么寓意么?
回答示范: Neverlazy? Oh, I want to encourage myself never to be lazy! You know I am a hardworking person. So, it’s my slogan!
3. Where are you from? Where is your hometown? 你是哪里人?家鄉(xiāng)在什么地方?
回答示范: Well, my hometown is a small town which you probably have never heard of. The name of the town is Dehui, which means “good moral” in Chinese. The town is located in the middle of China’s Northeast. When you look at the map, it looks like the eye of the rooster. You know, China looks like a rooster on the map, and the Northeast region looks just like the head of the rooster. My hometown “Good Moral Town” is unknown to most people because it’s quite poor. The average income for a family is less than one thousand RMB per month.
二、 Education 關于教育背景的問題
4. Why did you select your major area of study? 你為什么選擇了這個專業(yè)?
回答示范: I selected Business English as I was quite good at English back in high school. Apart from this, my high school teachers recommended that I select a major related to business, since I showed some good qualities for business management at a young age. So, I chose this major, business plus English, two in one, hehe.
5. What subjects were your favorite? Why? 你最喜歡的課程是什么, 為什么?
回答示范: I like the subjects that include lots of experiments, for example, CAD and Circuit Design. I found that I can learn more quickly by doing experiments than only studying the theories. I guess it’s partly because I am good with my hands, and doing experiments gives me a chance to learn in a creative way.
6. What subjects were your least favorite? Why? 你最不喜歡的課程是什么?為什么?
回答示范: I found Macroeconomics and Microeconomics disappointing as well, for the reason that their information fell behind the times. For example, the exchange rate between RMB and USD stilled remained 8.3 : 1 in the text! You can imagine how disappointed we were. So I spent more time listening to the lectures on economics organized by the Student Union.
7. Other than the courses you studied, what is the most important thing you learned from your college experience? 除了學習方面, 你在大學里面最大的收獲是什么?
回答示范: My biggest achievement in my college life, I think, is that I have learnt to make choices. You know, there are various activities and part time jobs on campus, each sounds attractive. I’ve carefully chosen some of them which can help to achieve my long term career goal. I have said “no” to lots of invitations, like the dancing contests each year. I only participated in one of them and decided that rehearsals occupy too much time. In my opinion, nothing is more important than making the right choice.
8. How did you finance your college education? 你大學的費用是怎么樣支付的?(家里供還是自己打工?)
回答示范: So far, my tuition and living expense are around 40,000 RMB. My parents offer two thirds of it and I pay the rest of it. I have been granted scholarship three times, making 5,000 RMB in total. Teaching and other part-time jobs made another 5,000.
三、 Experience 關于工作經(jīng)驗的問題
9. Would you briefly describe this company to me? 介紹一下你的原單位, 好嗎?
回答示范: “廣盛發(fā)”, 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.
10. Would you describe your typical working day? 請你描述一下自己典型的一天的工作吧。
回答示范: 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.
11. Why do you want to leave your job? 你為什么要離職?
回答示范: 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.
12. Describe the employee you most enjoy working with. 你最喜歡和什么樣的同事一起合作?
回答示范: I enjoy working with positive-minded people who don’t complain too much. I find it uncomfortable to work with those who always complain. In my opinion, we either need to make improvements or accept the facts. Complaining is a total waste of time.
13. What is an ideal boss like? 你最喜歡的老板是什么樣子的?
回答示范: Ideal boss? Well, I prefer strict bosses. Although working with strict bosses means a lot of pressure, I can grow fast with them. For new graduates, nothing is more important than developing our abilities as fast as we can.
14. What were the best aspects of your last job? 在上一份工作中, 你最喜歡的是什么地方?
回答示范: The best aspect of my job, well, is that I can learn a lot from others. As you can imagine Carrefour has a team of high-quality staff. When working with these people I can learn a lot, you know, their attitude to see things, the way they work.
15. What were the worst aspects of your last job? 在上一份工作中, 你最討厭的是什么地方?
回答示范: I have to work six days a week in my current job. You know it’s against the Labor Law but it’s the normal practice in many factories in Dongguan. It would be quite alright for me to work on Saturday occasionally, but certainly not every Saturday.
16. What were some of your achievements in your last job? 在上一份工作中, 你有哪些成就?
回答示范: I increased sales approximately 100% in three years. Last year I personally sold 1.5 million Yuan worth of services and was ranked number 2 in the entire company among 14 sales reps.
17. What were some of the disappointments in your last job? 在上一份工作中, 你比較失望的地方或者失敗是什么?
回答示范: I failed to achieve the sales target last year, I sold a million and a half but the target was two million. Our Beijing headquarters is having some problems and can’t provide effective pre-sales support for us. Failing to reach the target is a big disappointment for me.
18. How would you evaluate the progress you made in your last job? 你如何來評價自己在上一份工作中的表現(xiàn)?
回答示范: I am very proud of the progress I made in my last job. I joined the company as a new hand, but after only a year and a half, I was promoted to team leader. I could achieve such a rapid progress partly because my last job was in a small firm. If I can make the same progress in a large company like GE, I would be prouder.
19. What pressures did you have in your last job and how did you manage them? 你工作中有什么壓力, 你是怎么樣應付的?
回答示范: Well, I have to meet deadlines in my current job. Some projects have a very tight schedule, and even if we do a lot of over time work it’s still hard to meet the deadline. This gives me a lot of pressure. Usually I manage the pressure by communicating honestly with my boss. If he can understand me I feel relaxed.
20. Sometimes a work assignment requires frequent travel. How do you feel about the prospect of frequent travel? 有時候工作需要你經(jīng)常出差
回答示范: I am very lucky that I can eat and sleep very well on trips. I’ve never been carsick, and even when sitting on a train I can sleep well. So, I never need to worry about frequent traveling.
21. Most employees and bosses have some disagreements. How did you react to these disagreements in your last job? 很多雇員都和老板有意見相左的時候, 在上一份工作中, 你是如何處理和老板意見不同的情況的?
回答示范: When I have disagreements with my boss, my first reaction is to double-check my opinions. My boss is an expert and he’s been proven right most of the time. If I do believe I’m right or partially right, I provide my boss with a detailed report listing all facts and numbers to prove my opinion. Because my boss is extremely busy, I need to make the report simple butpowerful, to help him make the decision.
四、 Position and Company 關于所申請職位和公司的問題
22. Why did you select this company? 你為什么要選擇這間公司?
回答示范: To be honest, it would be ideal for me, a fresh graduate who specializes in Accounting, to join any of the “big 4s”(四大會計師事務所) because each of the “big 4s” has its own advantages. However, I’m particularly interested in KPMG for a very sentimental reason. I was completely fascinated by your career talk! Compared with yours, the other three companies are a bit boring, hehe.
23. Why did you decide to apply for this particular position? 你為什么要申請這份職位?
回答示范: For the past three years I’ve been doing a similar job. Though my current boss has given me a raise twice I’m still not quite pleased with my salary, I believe you can understand 1,800 Yuan is not a very good pay. Now that I have this opportunity to get a higher pay, to work in a more well-known company, of course I would give it a try.
24. Why do you think you’re qualified for this position? 你為什么覺得自己適合這個職位?
回答示范: I studied your job ad and feel that I’m a good match. I have very good writing skills and computer proficiency, which are much needed in this job. Your ad mentions Excel and I am very confident about my Excel skills. Actually, I’ve brought some forms I’ve made in Excel in my last job, but the data are not real, because of confidentiality policy, you know.
25. What about this position is especially attractive to you? 這份職位最吸引你的地方是什么?
回答示范: This position is especially attractive to me as it is offered by Huawei. I trust Huawei. I think my job will be more secure than working in smaller companies. You know, if I perform well, I think I can have a long term development here.
26. What do you see in the position that is not attractive to you? 這份職位最不吸引你的地方是什么?
回答示范: To be honest, I can’t see any at this moment. But I’m prepared for some disappointments when I start doing it, as each job has a dark side. So far I found only one small disappointment. There is no subway station nearby so I may have to take a bus every day. And I have to be more careful with my wallet and mobile phone, you know, pick pockets, hehe.
27. Tell me what you know about our company. 說說你對這間公司的了解吧。
回答示范: What I know about Kimberly(注釋: 金佰利) is partly from the Internet and newspaper, and partly from my own experience of using Kimberly products. I am a loyal customer of Kleenex, and I sometimes choose Kotex. Well, the new product, I don’t know the English name, the fragrant tissue, is really my favorite. It’s a bit expensive, but I can’t resist it!
五、 Self-evaluation 關于自我評價的問題
28. How does your mother describe you? 你的母親認為你是個怎樣的人?
回答示范: Well, it’s an interesting question. It reminds me of a Chinese saying, the best child is your own child, and the best wife are others’ wives. It means a man or woman is always satisfied with his/her own child, but not with the spouse, hehe. My mother is just like this. She tells everybody that I am hard working, more hard working than I should be. She says I am trustworthy and independent, never giving her troubles. You know, she sent me to boarding school at 14.
29. What do you consider your strengths as an employee? 作為一名公司職員, 你覺得自己有什么優(yōu)點?
回答示范: I have good time management skills. As an assistant I often have several things in my hands at the same time so I have to manage my time well to work effectively. I paste a very big Monthly Schedule on the walls at the office and at home, adding arrangements like sales meetings or friends’ birthday parties anytime they are scheduled. So I am very organized both at work and in personal life, never missing important events and deadlines.
30. What do you see as your weaknesses as an employee? 作為一名公司職員, 你覺得自己有什么缺點?
回答示范: I am not a great public speaker. When speaking in public I feel uncomfortable unless the topic is familiar. So I have to be well prepared before giving a presentation. As a matter of fact, I did lots of preparations for our interview today!
31. What factors in a work situation motivate you? 工作中有哪些因素能夠激勵你?
回答示范: There are many, hehe, I’m easily motivated. Money; of course; is a key motivator. The sense of achievement also motivates me a lot, say, winning honors, being praised by boss, clients and colleagues. In addition, pressure can provide motivation for me, too.
六、 關于職業(yè)目標的問題
32. Where do you see yourself being in your profession in five years? Why did you establish these goals? 你的五年職業(yè)目標是什么?你為什么會確定這樣的職業(yè)目標?
回答示范: Well, I hope I can be a brand manager in five years or so. Launching and managing a brand, introducing it to as many customers as possible, in my opinion, will bring me great job satisfaction.
33. What will you do to achieve your career goals? 為達到職業(yè)目標你會做什么?
回答示范: My long term career goal requires a wide range of skills. What I’ll do is to keep improving myself, at work and through self-training outside work. As a matter of fact, I’ve already started. I’ve enrolled in a two-month English training program in New Oriental because I know English is important for my job.
34. What are your salary expectations for this position? Starting salary? Salary in five years? 你期望的薪資是多少?你希望五年以后你的薪資是多少?
回答示范: I expect to have a salary between 4,000 and 5,000 as this is the average salary the students of our school can get. But we can negotiate that. As a new graduate I care about career development opportunities more than the starting salary. As to the salary in five years, frankly speaking, I haven’t even thought about it. The more the better, but of course, it depends on what I can do for the company.
七、 Questions 請?zhí)釂?/strong>
35. What questions do you have for me? 你有什么問題要問我的嗎?
回答示范1: My question may sound a bit stupid, but I really want to know, do you prefer to hire male sales reps more than females? You know it’s true in many other companies. I am a bit concerned about this you know because I really want this job.
外企英文面試三大過關技巧
技巧一:注意英語時態(tài)的變化運用
應聘者在參加英語面試前大都作過充分的語言知識的準備與練習。那么在眾多的英語語法規(guī)則中為什么要單獨強調(diào)時態(tài)的運用呢?
其一是因為由于和漢語的表達習慣不同(漢語中動詞沒有時態(tài)變化),這是一個口語中極其常見的錯誤。但同時來說,時態(tài)又是比較基本的語法點,一旦用錯,會讓面試官對面試者的英語能力產(chǎn)生質(zhì)疑。
其二是因為在面試過程中,往往會涉及到很多關于個人經(jīng)歷,教育背景,工作經(jīng)驗,職業(yè)規(guī)劃等方面的問題,因此在表述某件事情或是某個想法的時候,一定要注意配合正確的時態(tài),否則就會造成差之毫厘,失之千里的后果。例如:你已經(jīng)參加過某項專業(yè)技能培訓與你正在參加或計劃參加就是完全不同的。
技巧二:尊重個人及文化差異
任何面試都帶有一定程度的主觀性。也就是說面試官是否欣賞你也可能成為最后的決定性因素。因此在英語面試的過程中,應當盡量避免由于對英語語言的駕馭能力不足,而引發(fā)的不敬甚至冒犯。
具體而言,主要有兩種做法要特別注意避免。首先是要避免使用過于生僻的單詞,或是地方俚語之類接受群體相對比較小的表達方式。因為這種表達方式很有可能造成聽者的困惑與曲解。
其次則是要避免過多、過于主觀地談及宗教文化或時事政治方面的問題。不少面試者出于第一項提到的急于展示英語水平的目的,或是想給面試官留下深刻印象的目的,常常會犯這個錯誤。
在英語面試中,面試官很有可能來自不同的國家與地區(qū),有一定的個人傾向。因此作為面試者,在不了解情況的狀態(tài)下,如果談到此類話題,謹慎而有節(jié)制的發(fā)言才是上上策。
技巧三:以英語為載體,展示工作才能
一般而言,對于非英語專業(yè)要求的工作,面試常常主要是英語口試形式。但是要注意的是這與英語考試的口試不同,面試人員通常是由公司的人事主管,應聘部門主管或公司高層組成,他們更關心和器重的是你的專業(yè)知識和工作能力,而英語此時只是一種交流工具,或者說是你要展示的眾多技能中的一種,因此要切忌為說英語而說英語,有些人就怕自己的英語減分,為了希望給面試官留下英語水平高的印象,常常會大量的使用事先準備好的花哨的詞匯及句式,而真正針對面試官所提問題的、與工作有關的個人見解卻很少,內(nèi)容空泛,邏輯混亂。最后除了得到一句英語不錯的夸獎之外,恐怕很難有理想的收獲。因為在漂亮英語和聰明頭腦之間,面試官總是會選擇后者的。

外企面試的注意事項
守時
守時是職業(yè)道德的基本要求,一般提前10-15分鐘到達面試地點效果最佳。面試的時候,不管你有什么理由,遲到也會被視為缺乏自我管理和約束能力。面試的路程較遠,切記早點出門,但早到后不宜立刻進入辦公室,可在附近的咖啡廳等候。
服飾
男士得穿上整潔的服裝,但不必刻意打扮。女士應穿得整潔、明亮,叮當作響的珠寶飾物、過濃的香水、沒拉直的絲襪、未修過的指甲或是蓬松的頭發(fā)等,都足以抵消求職信給予考官的良好印象。
選擇服裝的關鍵是看職位要求。應聘銀行、政府部門,穿著偏向傳統(tǒng)正規(guī);應聘公關、時尚雜志等,則可以適當?shù)卦诜b上加些流行元素。
除了應聘娛樂影視廣告這類行業(yè)外,最好不要選擇太過突兀的穿著。應屆畢業(yè)生允許有一些學生氣的裝扮,可以穿休閑類套裝。此外應聘時不宜佩戴太多的飾物,這容易分散考官的注意力,根據(jù)所選的行業(yè)來著裝。
