1、What can you tell me about yourself?
关于你自己,你能告诉我些什么?
这一问题如果面试没有安排自我介绍的时间的话。这是一个必问的问题。考官并不希望你大谈你的个人历史,他是在寻找有关你性格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索,来判断你是否适合这份职位。下面是一个积极正面回答的好例子:
In high school I was involved in competitive sports and I always tried to improve in each sport I participated in. As a college student, I worked in a clothing store part-time and found that I could sell things easily. The sale was important, but for me, it was even more important to make sure that the customer was satisfied. It was not long before customers came back to the store and specifically asked for me to help them. I’m very competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best.
在高中我参加各种竞争性体育活动,并一直努力提高各项运动的成绩。大学期间,我曾在一家服装店打工,我发现我能轻而易举地将东西推销出去。销售固然重要,但对我来说,更重要的是要确信顾客能够满意。不久便有顾客返回那家服装店点名让我为他们服务。我很有竞争意识,力求完美对我很重要。
2、What would you like to be doing five years after graduation?
在毕业以后5年内你想做些什么?
你要清楚你实际上能胜任什么。你可以事先和其他的前辈交流一番。问问他们在毕业后在公司的头5年都做了些什么。可以这样回答:
I hope to do my best I can be at my job and because many in this line of work are promoted to area manager, I am planning on that also.
我希望能在我的职位上尽力做好工作,由于在同一领域工作的许多人都被提为区域负责人,所以我亦有此打算。
