回答示范1： Well, I think the most important thing I have learnt in university is how to set appropriate goals and see them through. You know it is so easy for university students to waste time if they don’t set goals, so I set demanding goals to motivate myself. One is that I decided to get scholarships each year, the other one is that I decided to be the leader of a club on campus. Neither was easy, but in more than three years, I managed to achieve both. (點(diǎn)評(píng)： 面試官一定會(huì)追問你是怎么實(shí)現(xiàn)兩個(gè)目標(biāo)的。) Getting scholarship wasn’t quite difficult for me. Running for Presidency of a club, however, was more difficult than I expected as there was so much competition. To achieve the goal I changed my strategy. I transferred from the Student Union to a newly-founded union. And within 6 months, I acquired more than 20 members and organized a few eye-catching activities. As a result, I became the leader of that club. I think I’ve learnt not only to set a demanding goal, but also how to overcome all the difficulties to achieve it.

　　點(diǎn)評(píng)1： 這是一個(gè)很漂亮的回答， 體現(xiàn)了自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)： 既能夠給自己設(shè)立比較高的目標(biāo)， 也擅長(zhǎng)克服困難， 實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)。面試官最喜歡的人選， 就是這種“目標(biāo)導(dǎo)向型”的申請(qǐng)人。

　　回答示范2： 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.

　　點(diǎn)評(píng)2： 這個(gè)回答符合我們一貫強(qiáng)調(diào)的“個(gè)性化”和“夸贊自己”兩個(gè)原則。

　　8. How did you finance your college education? 你大學(xué)的費(fèi)用是怎么樣支付的?(家里供還是自己打工?)

　　問題分析： 很顯然， 和中國(guó)面試官相比， 老外更加青睞在大學(xué)就有賺錢能力的候選人， 并堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為他們的獨(dú)立性和能力比完全依賴父母的候選人要強(qiáng)得多。

　　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.

　　點(diǎn)評(píng)： 很真實(shí)的回答， 同時(shí)也體現(xiàn)了自己的學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)好和社團(tuán)活動(dòng)很積極的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。

　　三、 Experience 關(guān)于工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的問題

　　9. Would you briefly describe this company to me? 介紹一下你的原單位， 好嗎?

　　問題分析： 當(dāng)老外提出這個(gè)問題的時(shí)候， 他心里的疑問是： “這個(gè)公司我從來沒有聽說過， 是否是個(gè)名不見經(jīng)傳的小公司?”所以， 在向老外介紹自己工作單位的時(shí)候， 要著重強(qiáng)調(diào)公司的優(yōu)點(diǎn)， 規(guī)模大的強(qiáng)調(diào)規(guī)模， 人數(shù)多的強(qiáng)調(diào)人數(shù)。如果你所在的公司業(yè)務(wù)總量很小， 你可以告訴面試官， 業(yè)務(wù)總量不大但是平均到每個(gè)員工的業(yè)務(wù)量卻相當(dāng)驚人!

　　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.

　　點(diǎn)評(píng)： 很明顯， 這個(gè)回答既體現(xiàn)了自己原來的公司的規(guī)模， 也暗示了自己能夠適應(yīng)繁忙工作的特點(diǎn)。

　　10. Would you describe your typical working day? 請(qǐng)你描述一下自己典型的一天的工作吧。

　　問題分析： 在這個(gè)問題上， 面試官希望捕捉到的信息點(diǎn)是： 第一， 這個(gè)家伙原來干的工作和我們現(xiàn)在這份工作到底有多少是類似的?第二， 他在原來工作單位表現(xiàn)到底怎么樣?所以， 在描述自己的工作內(nèi)容時(shí)， 要注意突出兩個(gè)信息點(diǎn)： 第一， 用事實(shí)突出自己繁忙并且業(yè)績(jī)不錯(cuò)的優(yōu)點(diǎn); 第二， 要著意強(qiáng)調(diào)一下和所申請(qǐng)工作類似的內(nèi)容。

　　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.

　　點(diǎn)評(píng)： 用事實(shí)說明自己是個(gè)敬業(yè)的人。在描述工作內(nèi)容的時(shí)候， 有細(xì)節(jié)性描述， 也有總結(jié)性描述， 非常清晰。

　　11. Why do you want to leave your job? 你為什么要離職?

　　回答示范1： To be honest, the reason I quit is that I am not pleased by my current job. My current work is in a vocational high school. Maybe I have to explain a bit more here. In China, vocational high schools are designed for the less-advanced students or the ones wanting work instead of going to university to further their education. As a result, the social status and the pay in vocational high schools are not at all satisfactory. I can never become a professor in this school. So, although teaching makes me happy, I have to leave this job because I can’t have long-term career development here.

　　點(diǎn)評(píng)1： 相當(dāng)一部分申請(qǐng)人辭職的原因都是為了“長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的職業(yè)發(fā)展”， 因?yàn)樵谀壳暗墓ぷ髦?ldquo;看不到前途和未來”或者“缺乏挑戰(zhàn)和創(chuàng)新”。這些其實(shí)都是合理的理由， 但是， 務(wù)必要把看不到前途和未來的原因解釋清楚， 要讓面試官知道， 沒有前途不是你個(gè)人能力缺乏所致， 而確實(shí)是客觀因素使然。此外， 在涉及中國(guó)特殊現(xiàn)象的時(shí)候， 比如職業(yè)高中教育， 比如中等專科學(xué)校教育等等， 要把具體的情況解釋清楚， 否則， 老外絕對(duì)不會(huì)了解中專教師為什么不像大學(xué)教師那么爽。

　　回答示范2： 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.

　　點(diǎn)評(píng)2： 一個(gè)中肯的回答， 既誠(chéng)實(shí)地告訴面試官自己似乎為錢而跳槽， 也告訴了他自己在原崗位上沒有拿到更高的薪水并非是工作表現(xiàn)不好， 而是受到了公司規(guī)章制度的限制。同時(shí)， 也強(qiáng)調(diào)了自己已經(jīng)在原單位效忠3年的良好記錄。不錯(cuò)!

　　回答示范3： The former company hasn’t done well in the past 2 years, they have to make some redundancy and our department is lucky enough to be one of them. What a pity.

　　點(diǎn)評(píng)3： 公司裁員很少發(fā)生， 不過如果事實(shí)如此， 你需要解釋出自己被裁減的原因是因?yàn)檎麄€(gè)部門被關(guān)閉， 而不是你個(gè)人表現(xiàn)欠佳而被裁減。同時(shí)， 展示了一下自己的幽默， 很好。

　　回答示范4： Frankly speaking, I want to leave the job simply because I’m attracted by the position you offer. Compared with my current employer, Global Market is so much more renowned, offering a secure job and a long-term development. My current employer now offers an okay salary, but the career opportunities here are very limited because the size of business is relatively small. I think you can understand my choice.

　　點(diǎn)評(píng)4： 很真實(shí)， 90%的人都是為了“更好的發(fā)展”而離職， 不妨實(shí)話實(shí)說也罷。
