Q1:你在現(xiàn)任公司的情況。(Can you tell us a little bit about your current position?)
失敗者:I’m part of the European Sales team at our company. We’re the world’s leading supplier of IT hardware. (在公司我是負責(zé)歐洲銷售這部分,我們公司在IT硬件這一行業(yè)里一直是領(lǐng)軍人物)
成功者:I’m assistant sales director for a chain of language schools. Althrough this post is quite a change then,but I think the skills are the same, despite the product. (我是一家語言連鎖學(xué)校的銷售主管助理,盡管這與我所應(yīng)聘的職位有所出入,但我覺得不管是什么行業(yè),技巧都是相同的) 總結(jié):這個問題面試官旨在考察應(yīng)聘者個人工作經(jīng)驗,過分夸大原公司的實力容易給面試官留下傲慢的印象,相反個人工作經(jīng)驗不足則需表現(xiàn)出應(yīng)有的自信。
Q2:為什么要離開你現(xiàn)在的公司?(Why do you want to move on?)
失敗者:Well, they’re too small for me,I’m looking for something much bigger,I see this company as kind of like a stepping stone。I start here gain the necessary experience, then move onto something bigger. (我的公司對我來說太小了,我想要找一家更大的公司,這個公司對我來說就是一個跳板,當我學(xué)到更好的工作經(jīng)驗后,我還會尋找更好的機會)
成功者:Well I’ve come as far as I can in my current position, I feel and I’m 28 now and would love to take on some more responsibility. (在我現(xiàn)在的公司,我的發(fā)展?jié)摿σ呀?jīng)走到了盡頭,我才28歲,我愿意再嘗試更多的挑戰(zhàn),承擔(dān)更多的責(zé)任)總結(jié):這個問題的回答至關(guān)重要,直接表明你進應(yīng)聘公司的主觀動機,要巧妙應(yīng)對。既不可流露出對前一家公司過多的不滿,也不要夸大之前公司的優(yōu)勢。最好是像這位女孩所說的一樣,表明了自己愿意承擔(dān)更多責(zé)任,嘗試更多挑戰(zhàn),這是面試官最愿意聽的話。
Q3:你是如何處理人際關(guān)系的?(how to deal with a particularly difficult manage?)
失敗者:A couple of years ago, I was working with a guy, he wasn’t pulling his weight, basically being lazy – so I told him to get out. (幾年前我和一個同事一起工作,他不知道自己幾斤幾兩,工作還很散漫,我就把他開除了)
成功者:I had two people working for me who didn’t get along at all – they had no shared values, different temperaments – and they used to argue a lot, it looked like it was impossible for them to work together. So, I sat down with them, and we talked about their differences and their problems and after that, things went much more smoothly! (我曾經(jīng)有兩位同事相處的不太愉快,他們之間總是有沖突,然后我和他們坐下來聊天,告訴他們彼此的不同和問題,從那以后他們之間相處的就比較融洽了)
總結(jié):人際關(guān)系的處理是應(yīng)聘者進入職場很重要的素質(zhì)之一,良好的方法和技巧對工作的進展有著很重要的推動作用,誰也不想找太狂妄自大,不懂得合作的員工。因此這是面試的重要標準之一,一定要表達自己能夠很好的處理人際關(guān)系。
Q4以具體事件的處理來說明你的工作能力(Can you tell us about a time you had to close a particularly challenging deal.)
失敗者:I haven’t had one. They’re all easy for me. I close deals all the time! (我目前還沒碰到一個,對于我來說這些都太容易了,我一直都可以處理任何事情)
成功者:Well, the biggest contract I won - and the thing I’m most proud of professionally - was with a large university in India, to provide language training . The contract was full of technicalities and the client was very picky! – but I still pulled it off.、(那就說一下我簽的最成功的一個合同吧,那是我最自豪的一件事。印度一家很大的學(xué)院,提供語言培訓(xùn),合同的很多條款都非常苛刻,但是我成功的解決了它)
總結(jié):這是對個人能力的考查,具體的成功例子是對這個問題的最好回答,不可模棱兩可,過分自信,容易讓面試官對你留下傲慢,不可靠的印象。
Q5你的業(yè)余愛好是什么?(What’s your hobby?)
失敗者:I am interested in rock climbing, and I just do it a while ago now. (我很喜歡攀巖,而且就是剛剛我又去攀巖了一次)
成功者:Well, when I have time, I do work at a centre for children with difficulties,It’s rewarding and challenging. (當我有時間的時候,我都會去幫助那些有困難的孩子們,這對我來說很有意義,而且很有挑戰(zhàn)性)
總結(jié):這個問題很有設(shè)陷阱的嫌疑,看似無意的問題,其實是在考查應(yīng)聘者與所應(yīng)聘工作的吻合度。應(yīng)聘者在回答這個問題時,一定要根據(jù)所應(yīng)聘職位的性質(zhì)來做出相應(yīng)的陳述,切不可全盤托出,毫無針對性 Q6對我們公司你還有什么疑問嗎?(do you have any questions for us?)
失敗者:No
成功者:Yes - about your ethical policy, and your carbon footprint...I was wondering whether you are planning to reduce your carbon footprint and whether all your products are ethically sourced?
