我们再来看一些问题,有些问题和上面的是重复的,不过回答的角度却不相同,大家可以根据自己的实际情况进行选择。
Question 1: Can you tell me something about yourself?
问题1:能介绍一下你自己吗?
回答这个问题的时候,要重点突出与这个工作岗位相关的个人信息,比如,你做过什么工作,擅长什么,对职业发展有什么期望,等等。

Question 2: Why did you apply for this job?
问题2:你为什么应聘这个工作?
回答这个问题的关键是,你要多说说对这家公司和这个职位的了解,也不是接着介绍你自己。所以,面试之前要做功课,上这个公司的网站好好了解一下背景,对于应聘的职位也要有个基本的了解。

Question 4: Can you tell me something about your education?
问题4:能说一说你的教育背景吗?
有些雇主和职位会比较看重教育背景,名校毕业或者MBA学位等资历可能会加分。但是,如果你的教育背景不是那么出色,你可以重点讲一讲你在过去的经历中学习到的丰富知识,不用在毕业学校这一类事情上太纠结。
【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?

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?
问题6:我们为什么要聘用你?
这是面试中最难回答的一个问题。不过,要是回答好了,绝对能给面试加分。在这个问题上,你还拿出之前自我介绍那一套说辞是不行的,你得把你的“独特卖点”拿出来,有什么特质是你用而别的应聘者没有的?你能为这个公司带来什么明显的收益?
【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?

之前的问题,我们都建议你挑出跟工作相关的内容来回答,但是,这个问题,建议你挑一些跟工作不太相关的缺点来回答。而且,回答的时候,你要突出表达想要尽快改掉这个缺点的意愿。这样的做人态度是雇主们愿意看到的。
【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.

Question 9: What are your goals in five years horizon?
问题9:五年内,你想达到什么目标?
回答这个问题的时候,千万不要说自己过几年想要创业单干。没有公司想招个人进来,过两年就辞职单干了。所以,回答的时候可以说一说个人目标,自己的职业发展目标要与公司相关。
【回答范例】

I want to start a family and have a good job. That’s all I want. I believe that your company is a right place to start realizing my goals.

Question 10: What are your biggest achievements so far?
问题10:到目前为止,你最大的成就是什么?
成就要远比经历重要。我们每个人或多或少都有些成就,只是我们自己没有意识到罢了。面试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,你原来抽烟,但是后来戒了,这也可以说明你的意志力很强。
【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?
问题11:你觉得,一个好老板、好同事应该是什么样的?
这个问题主要是看看你的情商够不够高,能不能在公司里跟大家和睦相处。回答得太具体,明确表明自己对同事的喜好,并不是一个可取的办法。最好回答得笼统一些,表明自己性格随和,跟谁都能相处愉快。
【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?
问题12:你期望的薪资是多少?
如果不是面试官首先提出,你不要自己提薪资方面的问题。回答的时候,首先要表明薪资并不是你应聘这个职位的首要因素,如果一定要回答一个具体的数字,那么一定不要低于你心理的那个预期薪资水平。所以,面试之前还是要做功课,了解该职位的薪资水平。
【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?
问题13:你什么时候能到岗?
公司当然希望你越快到岗越好,如果你目前还没有离职,需要一段时间做工作交接,那也要说明白,并且表示你愿意尽早到岗的意愿。
【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?
问题14:你有什么问题吗?
面试过程中一般都会有提问的机会,究竟该问些什么?首先,岗位职责描述中已经说得很清楚的事情就不要问了,其次,面试过程中已经讨论过的也不要问。你可以问一些真正跟这个职位或公司发展相关的问题。
【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?
