大凡找工作的人,都有对面试的担心,而英语面试最令人头痛。面试气氛总是紧张的,一紧张就容易出错,中文“台词”都会结巴,何况英语!养兵千日,用兵一时,学了那么多年英语,好歹有些积累,总不能栽在这上面。而且求职面试并非“主试人提问—应试人应答”的简单模式,而是招聘的单位与应试者深入了解对方的双向交流过程,更是应聘者“推销自己”的难得机会。那么,如何过好英语面试回答技巧这一关呢?又有哪些应届生英语面试禁忌?
误区一:介绍自己,事无巨细
“Now,tell us something about yourself.”这是面试的时候大家普遍会被问到的一个常规问题,看似简单却不好回答。没有人真正对你在什么地方出生感兴趣,他们真正感兴趣的是你的专业背景和你的工作经历。考官其实是在问你“Why should I hire you?”应聘职位你可以说:”Majoring in English and being passionate about education, I choose teaching as my career. I’ve got a lot making of a good teacher. First, I am good at communicating with people…”
误区二:问及缺点,闪烁其词
“What is your greatest weakness?”
当被问及你的缺点是什么的时候,如何应对?这也算是一个棘手的“常规问题”。“金无足赤,人无完人”,每个人都有自己的缺点,有很多缺点是我们自己很清楚的,也有一些是我们自己都不自知的。
Though I am really good at carrying out the plans, I must admit that sometimes I stick myself into the details and fail to see the whole picture. Well, I’ve realized that and I am just trying to improve it.”
误区三:谈到薪水,缺乏策略
在面试中,薪水也是必须谈的问题,当面试官问道“Let’s talk about salary. What are you looking for?”,该如何回答呢?很多 求职 者要么回答得太快,太直接,要么就是不敢作答,生怕自己的要价吓跑了雇主。一句“well, that’s something I’ve thought long and hard about and I think someone with my experience should get between X & Y。”就够了。或者说“I am looking for my first job, so what I’m more interested is what the position can offer my career。”这显示了新人应有的态度。
