外企的英文面試筆試經驗
對外企的英文面試應該按照以下步驟來進行準備：
(1) 預測問題，
外企的英文面試筆試經驗
。這個環(huán)節(jié)不但能幫助你克服聽力困難， 而且能緩解你在面試時候的緊張情緒。想象一下， 如果總是Pardon, Excuse me， 你怎么可能鎮(zhèn)定自若?(2) 書寫答案。英語8級的牛人也會在英文面試時出現邏輯不清的情況， 因為流利和井井有條絕對不是同義詞。筆者的親身體會是， 越是英語流利的牛人， 越容易在面試的時候廢話連篇， 邏輯混亂。
(3) 背誦答案。背誦三遍以內是結巴， 背誦十遍以內是流利的背誦， 而背誦二三十遍以上就不再是背誦， 而是滔滔不絕的自由表達!
(4) 若有所思。面試的時候， 在流利做答之前， 別忘了做思索狀， 再加上個well， let me see……
衡量一個回答是否精彩， 只有一個標準： 這個回答中， 體現了申請人的什么特征?這些特征是優(yōu)點還是缺點?如果是優(yōu)點， 是否剛好適合所申請職位的優(yōu)點?
一、 Personal Information 關于個人信息的問題
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?即使現如今壽司已經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 an d 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 an d tolerance.
點評3： 回答得妙呀， 不僅僅真實， 而且展現了自己的獨特個性， 告訴面試官自己身上有和尚般的優(yōu)秀品質： 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, an d 2 for “love”, 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 an d raised in the city of Wuhan. As far as I know, our company has a branch office near Hanzheng Street, an d 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, an d 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 thousan d 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。
二、 Education 關于教育背景的問題
4. Why did you Select your major area of study? 你為什么選擇了這個專業(yè)?
問題分析： 外國面試官更喜歡提“為什么”的問題， 他希望申請人是一個有主見的人。
回答示范1： I was quite good at mathematics an d physics back in high school so I chose a related major, Telecommunications. I also applied for the major of computer science. You know, these two majors are the hottest these years.
點評1： 實話實說。
回答示范2： As a matter of fact, I didn’t Select the major of Geography Education at all, because I have never wanted to be a teacher. I had chosen Business Administration, Economics an d Logistics Management when I applied to Zhongshan University, but unfortunately I failed to get into these hottest majors. The score I got on the College Entrance Examination was about ten points less than the minimum requirement. The school allocated me to a cold major, Geography Education, hehe. Luckily, I could Select a second focus. I chose Public Relations Management to be my minor area of study. What was that saying? “When God closes the door, he opens a window.” Hehe.
點評2： 這個回答似乎很長， 但是卻不得不這么長。這是一個典型的中國特色， 如果你的分數夠不上第一志愿， 學校就把你打入某一個“冷宮”專業(yè)去， 而你為了進入這所一流的大學不得不屈服。這種怪現象制造出很多感覺自己比竇娥還冤的“冤男怨女”， 學著“地理教育”卻痛恨從事教師職業(yè)， 學著“國際政治”卻連國際新聞都懶得看!這個回答的優(yōu)點在于： 第一， 向外國面試官普及了一下中國特色; 第二， 強調了自己對商業(yè)和管理一貫的熱誠; 第三， 告訴對方其實自己高考只差10分才沒進去最熱門的專業(yè); 第四， 自己是個不輕言放棄的人， 主修學不成用輔修來彌補; 第五， 把上帝拉進來， 顯出你的幽默，

《外企的英文面試筆試經驗》(http://m.msguai.com)。回答示范3： I Selected Business English as I was quite good at English back in high school. Apart from this, my high school teachers recommended that I Select a major related to business, since I showed some good qualities for business management at a young age. So, I chose this major, business plus English, two in one, hehe.
點評3： 這個回答強調了自己的兩大優(yōu)點： 第一， 英語好; 第二， 早在高中就已經是老師心目中適合從商的人。自夸而不著痕跡， 實在是高哇!
5. What subjects were your favorite? Why? 你最喜歡的課程是什么， 為什么?
問題分析： 與中國面試官一樣， 對于應屆畢業(yè)生， 外國面試官經常問問有關學業(yè)方面的問題。面試官喜歡的申請人， 是對自己專業(yè)的優(yōu)缺點分析得頭頭是道的人。
回答示范1： I liked Marketing Principles an d Sales Management because the two courses provided us with the most up-to-date information on marketing an d sales, including the origin an d development of some famous bran ds, Pepsi, Nestle, an d the local bran ds, Lining, Wang-lao-ji an d so on. I felt that I already stepped into the business world when studying these courses. They were fantastic!
點評1： 喜歡的專業(yè)和自己申請的職業(yè)有緊密關聯， 而且提到知名品牌的名字， 很容易使人產生共鳴。
回答示范2： I like the subjects that include lots of experiments, for example, CAD an d Circuit Design. I found that I can learn more quickly by doing experiments than only studying the theories. I guess it’s partly because I am good with my han ds, an d doing experiments gives me a chance to learn in a creative way.
點評2： 利用課程說到自己“善于動手”和“有創(chuàng)造力”的優(yōu)點， 不錯。
回答示范3： My favorite courses are mostly in my minor area of study, Public Relations, as my major Geography Education is not really my interest. I like the courses of PR Crisis, Corporate Image an d Media Relations not only because their content is interesting an d useful, but also because they are taught in a very interactive way. Most teachers have an overseas MBA degree so they taught us as MBA students. It’s really cool, you know, we usually did the case studies on our own first, an d then presented our opinions in front of the whole class. I loved those subjects!
點評： 的確有很多同學并不喜歡自己的主修課程， 那么， 請像這位同學一樣， 告訴面試官你真正的興趣在哪里。
6. What subjects were your least favorite? Why? 你最不喜歡的課程是什么?為什么?
問題分析： 外國面試官往往更加辨證， 在問完成功經歷后一定要追問失敗經歷， 問完喜歡什么科目之后也要問問不喜歡什么科目。
回答示范1： My least favorite courses include Marxism an d Revolutionary History of China. I don’t like these subjects not because I am not a patriot─actually I love my Country an d I am fascinated by its revolutionary history. However, these subjects turned out to be disappointments as the textbooks an d the ways they were taught were nothing but a repetition of the history subjects in our secondary school.
點評1： 在和老外面試的時候， 要注意文化差異， 他可能很難理解中國學生為什么不喜歡學“馬哲”和“中國革命史”， 所以你需要解釋一下， 這并非是我們不愛國， 而是這兩門課程幾十年如一日的老面孔， 學生在高中就已經學過， 老師也不愿意對教學法進行創(chuàng)新。
回答示范2： I found Macroeconomics an d Microeconomics disappointing as well, for the reason that their information fell behind the times. For example, the exchange rate between RMB an d USD stilled remained 8.3 : 1 in the text! You can imagine how disappointed we were. So I spent more time listening to the lectures on economics organized by the Student Union.
點評2： 這個答案相比而言更好一些， 因為它體現出了申請人對知識的渴望， 以及在課堂上得不到知識時如何去自我進修。
7. Other than the courses you studied, what is the most important thing you learned from your college experience? 除了學習方面， 你在大學里面最大的收獲是什么?
問題分析： 外國面試官的思維往往非常直接， 他堅持認為， 只有在大學里面有巨大收獲的人， 才能在工作崗位上取得巨大收獲。所以說， 千萬不要天真地說： 我在大學里學會了自理， 學會了安排自己的生活!暈， 這是baby的成就， 絕對不能拿到大學里面來說了!
回答示范1： Well, I think the most important thing I have learnt in university is how to set appropriate goals an d see them through. You know it is so easy for university students to waste time if they don’t set goals, so I set deman ding 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. (點評： 面試官一定會追問你是怎么實現兩個目標的。) 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 an d 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 deman ding goal, but also how to overcome all the difficulties to achieve it.
點評1： 這是一個很漂亮的回答， 體現了自己的優(yōu)點： 既能夠給自己設立比較高的目標， 也擅長克服困難， 實現自己的目標。面試官最喜歡的人選， 就是這種“目標導向型”的申請人。
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 an d 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 an d decided that rehearsals occupy too much time. In my opinion, nothing is more important than making the right choice.
點評2： 這個回答符合我們一貫強調的“個性化”和“夸贊自己”兩個原則。
8. How did you finance your college education? 你大學的費用是怎么樣支付的?(家里供還是自己打工?)
問題分析： 很顯然， 和中國面試官相比， 老外更加青睞在大學就有賺錢能力的候選人， 并堅持認為他們的獨立性和能力比完全依賴父母的候選人要強得多。
回答示范： So far, my tuition an d living expense are around 40,000 RMB. My parents offer two thirds of it an d I pay the rest of it. I have been granted scholarship three times, making 5,000 RMB in total. Teaching an d other part-time jobs made another 5,000.
點評： 很真實的回答， 同時也體現了自己的學習成績好和社團活動很積極的優(yōu)點。
