外企面試英語問題

　　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?

　　問題分析： 有些申請人的英文名字不合常規(guī)， 比如叫King， 或者Sushi， 或者Monk等等。面試官詢問這些申請人名字的含義， 主要有幾個目的： 第一， 緩解面試的緊張氣氛; 第二， 面試官也有一點點好奇心; 第三， 給申請人一個展示自己獨特個性的機會， 因為敢于給自己起獨特名字的人往往具有很獨特的個性， 這些人希望引起別人的注意。

　　普通回答： Actually, Sushi is my nickname. My friends gave me this name because I like to eat the Japanese food sushi.

　　點評： 這個回答體現(xiàn)出你是個什么樣的人呢?在中國吃壽司價格不菲， 如果吃壽司吃到了朋友給你起了“壽司”這個外號的地步， 這個申請人一定不會是囊中羞澀的人。同志們想一下， 我們在面試的`時候， 是把自己偽裝成“艱苦樸素”， 還是“錦衣玉食”呢?即使現(xiàn)如今壽司已經(jīng)跌價到人盡可食的地步， 你這個回答也只是在告訴面試官： 嘿， 我可是個好吃的人啊!比較一下以下的這個回答， 你就知道哪個更勝一籌了。

　　回答示范1： As a matter of fact, Sushi is a nickname my friends gave me, because I like sushi and like to make sushi. I can make about ten different kinds of sushi! My friends say that my personality is a bit like sushi, simple but good, hehe.

　　點評1： 與剛才的回答相比， 這個回答體現(xiàn)出你是個什么樣的人呢?一個擅長制作壽司的女孩子一定是動手能力比較強的， 而且喜歡做一些瑣碎小事的人。同時， 把壽司的優(yōu)點引申成自己的個性優(yōu)點： 簡單而美好， 真是一個不錯的比喻。

　　回答示范2： 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!

　　點評2： 如果你給自己起了一個類似“國王”這樣比較aggressive的名字， 就得想好怎么樣解釋才能讓面試官知道你并不是一個過分aggressive的人。這個回答體現(xiàn)了該申請人熱愛自己醫(yī)生職業(yè)的特點。

　　回答示范3： My given name in Chinese is Meng, so I chose Monk to be my English name. I admire the spirit of monks, you know, abstinence and tolerance.

　　點評3： 回答得妙呀， 不僅僅真實， 而且展現(xiàn)了自己的獨特個性， 告訴面試官自己身上有和尚般的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)： 克制欲望、 容忍。面試官只要不想嫁給你， 就一定會喜歡這樣的回答。

　　2. What’s the meaning of your email address? 你的電子郵件地址有什么寓意么?

　　問題分析： 當(dāng)代青年男女個性張揚， 所以連email地址也頗為獨特。令筆者或迷惑或微笑的email 地址有很多， 比如neverlazy, bighead, lazyfish, 52n52n, yulovehong等等。與上一個問題一樣， 善于交流的面試官往往樂于給你一個機會展示自己的個性。

　　較差回答： Lazyfish? Oh, I admire the goldfish for living an easy life. Compared to goldfish, human beings live a fast-paced life. So I chose this email address to make me feel a bit relaxed.

　　點評： 個性傾向于過慵懶的生活， 唉!

　　較差回答： 52n52n? oh, it means “I love you, I love you,” because 5 sounds like “I” in Chinese, and 2 for “l(fā)ove”, n for “you”. I registered this address to please my girlfriend, hehe.

　　點評： 公開示愛?嘖嘖， 除了他的女朋友會覺得甜蜜蜜， 別的人一律會露出特虛偽的笑容或胃里泛酸。唉!

　　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!

　　點評： 在email地址中都要給自己勵志的女子， 一定是個超級工作狂，好呀! (這名女子如愿進入了寶潔公司的CBD部門。)

　　3. Where are you from? Where is your hometown? 你是哪里人?家鄉(xiāng)在什么地方?

　　問題分析： 很多老外在中國工作居住多年， 甚至自詡為中國通， 他們可能會順便問問你是哪里人， 拉近和你的距離。

　　回答示范1： I was born and raised in the city of Wuhan. As far as I know, our company has a branch office near Hanzheng Street, and it’s quite a big office.

　　點評1： 這個回答說出了該公司在武漢的地址， 展示了一下自己提前所做的功課。

　　回答示范2： 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.

　　點評2： 絕妙的回答!一方面生動地告訴外國面試官， 你的家鄉(xiāng)是東北這個雞頭上眼睛部位的一個小縣城， 另一方面， 讓他知道你家鄉(xiāng)的人們平均一個月才不到1,000元的收入， 令日入斗金的老外頗為欷覷。讓他欷覷了， 你就被記住了。被記住， 是被錄取的前提。

　　工作經(jīng)驗的問題

　　1. 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)老外提出這個問題的時候， 他心里的疑問是： “這個公司我從來沒有聽說過， 是否是個名不見經(jīng)傳的小公司?”所以， 在向老外介紹自己工作單位的時候， 要著重強調(diào)公司的優(yōu)點， 規(guī)模大的強調(diào)規(guī)模， 人數(shù)多的強調(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.

　　點評： 很明顯， 這個回答既體現(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。

　　2. Would you describe your typical working day? 請你描述一下自己典型的一天的工作吧。

　　問題分析： 在這個問題上， 面試官希望捕捉到的信息點是： 第一， 這個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， 要注意突出兩個信息點： 第一， 用事實突出自己繁忙并且業(yè)績不錯的優(yōu)點; 第二， 要著意強調(diào)一下和所申請工作類似的內(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.

　　點評： 用事實說明自己是個敬業(yè)的人。在描述工作內(nèi)容的時候， 有細(xì)節(jié)性描述， 也有總結(jié)性描述， 非常清晰。

　　3. 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.

　　點評1： 相當(dāng)一部分申請人辭職的原因都是為了“長遠(yuǎn)的職業(yè)發(fā)展”， 因為在目前的工作中“看不到前途和未來”或者“缺乏挑戰(zhàn)和創(chuàng)新”。這些其實都是合理的理由， 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， 沒有前途不是你個人能力缺乏所致， 而確實是客觀因素使然。此外， 在涉及中國特殊現(xiàn)象的時候， 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， 老外絕對不會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.

　　點評2： 一個中肯的回答， 既誠實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， 也強調(diào)了自己已經(jīng)在原單位效忠3年的良好記錄。不錯!

　　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.

　　點評3： 公司裁員很少發(fā)生， 不過如果事實如此， 你需要解釋出自己被裁減的原因是因為整個部門被關(guān)閉， 而不是你個人表現(xiàn)欠佳而被裁減。同時， 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.

　　點評4： 很真實， 90%的人都是為了“更好的發(fā)展”而離職， 不妨實話實說也罷。

　　回答示范5： I quit the job to study English. In my last job I should use English to communicate with foreigners but frankly speaking, my English wasn’t good enough. I knew I could perform better if my English was better. Finally, after two years of struggling with English, I decided to quit the job and recharge myself. I went to New Oriental School to study English.

　　點評5： 確實有很多人辭職學(xué)英語。如果你要使用這個萬無一失的答案， 請務(wù)必確定一點： 你的英語一定已經(jīng)相當(dāng)合格了!否則無疑是自暴其短。
