英文面试几大问题总结(大卫版) 篇2

有的同学曾经也问过我,英文的面试到底需要不需要技巧,每个学校的英文面试时间并不长,五六分钟、七八分钟,这么短的时间,到底需要不需要英文的面试技巧?我们就要想,如果你没有技巧,会带来什么?今天距离开始面试的时间应该也只有一个月了,如果有的同学觉得今天开始还为早的话,再推半个月,当你只剩半个月时间的时候才开始,我们要做什么?

首先,我们需要英文面试技巧吗?

这个问题其实是需要想,我觉得这个问题的答案很清楚,当然需要,而原因就是,“You never get a second chance to make a first impression”大家知道,第一印象是非常重要的,就像我们和别人见面,第一面很重要,决定了你会给别人留下一个什么印象,而这个印象就是决定性的。但是,第一印象是很短时间就有的,这个很短时间的印象就会给你带来终身都遗憾的事情。那么,到底有多少时间来留这个第一印象呢?有人说一分钟,也就是60秒,总之是在很短的时间下,你需要给对方留下一个很好的印象。之所以有这样两句话作为铺垫,我们知道,技巧是需要的,训练肯定是需要的。

第二,假如现在我们根本不作训练,根本不考虑面试的技巧。大家想,在面试的时候,对方会和你有什么交流?很简单的,他会问你“你能否作一个自我介绍?”那么,我们可以看到有的同学真的是语无伦次的,而且开始发愣,他不是不了解自己,而且想过千百次为什么要考MBA,但是他当场发愣了。另外一类不是说不出来,而是说得缺乏逻辑性。英文面试需要花的时间是多少呢?需要你在多短的时间内给对方一个清楚、明白的说明?也就是一分半,这一分半钟能说出什么呢?很多人只能说出自己叫什么,年龄多大,为什么来参加这个面试。

还有一种就是枯燥乏味的。我们知道,每个人身上都有一定的幽默性,但是你如何说得与别人不同?就像我们说的在考试的时候要写得清楚一点,就是为改卷的老师考虑,他们的住宿条件又差,心情又很郁闷,如果再看到缭乱的笔记,他的心情会非常差。面试的时候也是一样,老师听了那么多介绍,觉得都差不多,他的心情会不太好,但如果你的表现非常幽默,会给他一个好印象。

如果我们从今天开始准备,需要准备什么?

其实大家面临的也就这两个问题,第一,可能有人觉得担心听不懂。这是很常见的,刚才王令老师说了,英语就是一种交流的工具。如果对方说的你听不懂,交流的目的就无法发现。第二种是你懂,但是说不出。

那么怎样解决呢?首先要解决的是,在这段时间里,你要听懂的是什么?大家可以看到,北大、清华或人大一些名校,他们的面试流程具体来说都各有不同,但事实上都会有一些环节,老师和你有一个交流,你和你的同伴有一个交流,就这两个环节,在这个过程中,第一你要听懂老师的话,如果听不懂,你一下子告诉他,我的英语很差,这不行。个别老师如果心情好,他会和你有一丁点寒暄,包括进门的时候说“How do you do?”这时候你怎么作反应?如果不回应那也不行,甚至有时候老师会在你面前有炫耀,他会问你一长串的问题,这时候我们也要想怎样让他实现虚荣心的满足,他满意了,你也就满意了。还有一种是和同

伴的交流,特别是考清华的同学要注意,因为清华每年都有和同伴的交流,无论是小组讨论还是一对一讨论,这种形式对于你能否顺利通过不好说,如果你的同伴很优秀,那你就成了陪练,你站在他旁边,他侃侃而谈,而你发愣,那就麻烦了。还有,和同伴的交流也很重要,你和一个棒槌在一块儿,在交流的时候,他听不懂你说话,你听不懂他在说什么,他会很痛苦,这种事儿我们遇到过,他觉得自己这一生最悲凉的事情就是遇到他,他根本听不懂你说什么。这就是我们说为什么大家在考试前要尽量多地接触不同的同伴,这种接触表示你可以适应更多的语言形式,你不要期望你的同伴的发音很准备,甚至要做到面试官都听不懂你同伴的问题,你都听懂了,而且还和他无障碍交流,这样面试官都会从心里佩服你,觉得你这个人的英语实在很强。

为什么我们要搞面试呢?这个面试英语对大家将来有什么意义?这绝对不是一个光口,不仅仅是因为你上课的时候都有这样的教材,大家更希望的是在将来能够流利地和同伴交流。而这样的要求并不过分,这样的要求要实现必须是一点一滴积累的,而这一点并不要求我们去听最标准的英语,你将来见到的客户可能是操着各种各样口气、语气的英语,能听懂也是非常重要的能力。

有人问我,可以听什么?比如国际广播电台、商务谈判等等,这些不要听,因为跟你的考试没有关系,大家不要对自己提过高的要求,我们作笔试辅导的时候就说过这点,我们现在都提倡终身学习,你把这个要求要放在自己的一生中,现在我们的要求是要过英文面试,这些和你的英文面试没有关系,所以我们不要听。

我们到底要听什么呢?如果大家觉得自己的听力现在比较差,你可以从四六级的短对话开始听,这种资料非常多,市面上随便可以找到。为什么从这个开始听呢?因为很遗憾,这两年的考试都不考听力,我们给大家辅导的时候就问过,不考听力是好事还是坏事?就看你怎么看。从过笔试这关来说,它当然是一件好事,但是因为我们面临的笔试越来越强,现在来看就不是好事。所以对于个别人对自己的听力特别没信心的,要从四六级的短对话开始听。其次要听的是日常生活中的各式各样的对话,这不仅是针对清华的同学,清华有这样的短对话考试,如果你有时间,把日常的各种各样的短对话多听听也没有坏处。

第三是面试中的一些文件,这些在市面上很好找。

最后是讨论问题,我指的并不是商务谈判,是对一些问题的普遍性讨论,日常性讨论。这些资料,我们都会分门别类地给大家准备,大家接触这些资料是很有用的,不仅对现在的考试有帮助,将来也会有帮助。

关于“说不出”的问题,还可以细分,有的同学是当你让他用英文讲的时候,他真的讲不出来。还有的人是有话讲,但是讲不出来。第三、是如何使自己说的话有效,这要保证两点:一,说得正确,为什么我们要纠正大家的发音和语法呢?就是要使你说出的话正确。其次是要清晰,我们不要求在座各位说出的英语都非常优美,这是需要长时间做到的,但是我们必须要求大家说出的英语是正确的。比如一个很简单的词,大家在学习的时候都会遇到,“大学”,这个词的发音很简单,我不强调你一定要发出“v”的音,我们至少要求你的重音要对,很多同学会把强调音节放在“c”的音上。像这样的读音错误是非常明显的,而且会给你带来非常不好的影响。

如果你发现自己没有话说,接下来这段时间你应该做如下几件事情:第一,你要报考什么样的学校,就应该了解这个学校的相关内容,包括它MBA项目的内容。这是非常关键的,因为你了解了以后,这些就可以作为背景信息,当你需要的时候就可以说出来。第二,我们看了书中的面试流程介绍以后,很简单的一点,就是要考察你的英语表达能力。有的同学说,我报考的学校不要求提供英文简历,不管要求不要求,你一定要准备,因为它可以清晰地浓缩你的经验历史。

第三是预测可能会问到什么问题。

重要的是“Practice again and again until it appears natural”。有同学曾经提出过这样的问题,比如说我参加过这样的培训班训练,结果有人传考场上如果有发现参加过辅导班的同学就会把他Pass掉?要达到这个境界才可以,不是说上这样的培训是错误的,而是说你不够 努力,怎样看他看不出来你上过这样的培训班,这是需要训练的。

我们的辅导班还会告诉大家如何去装扮自己。在面试当天你还要注意很多细节的事情,我们会一项一项地给大家列出来。

如果你觉得还不着急,那么,当你还剩半个月的时间还需要做什么?你需要把我说的以上事情在半个月内做完,那时候自然会发现自己跟不上,那时候自己的压力会很大的,有些人就开始失眠了,会给大家造成很大的伤害,我们不希望把大家逼到那个份儿上,大家好不容易通过了笔试,现在终于站到这个舞台上,我们希望大家很好地充分利用自己的时间,把自己最闪亮的一面展示给考官。

英文面试的问题及答案 篇4

1、”What are your goals for the future?” or “Where do you see yourself in five years?”

Don’t discuss your goals for returning to school or having a family, they are not relevant and could knock you out of contention for the job. Rather, you want to connect your answer to the job you are applying for.

最佳答案:

-My long-term goals involve growing with a company where I can continue to learn, take on additional responsibilities, and contribute as much of value as I can.

-I see myself as a top performing employee in a well-established organization, like this one. I plan on enhancing my skills and continuing my involvement in (related) professional associations.

-Once I gain additional experience, I would like to move on from a technical position to management.

-In the XYZ Corporation, what is a typical career path for someone with my skills and experiences?

2、Tell me about yourself/ How would you describe yourself?

You walk into the interview room, shake hands with your interviewer and sit down with your best interviewing smile on. Guess what their first question is? “Tell me about yourself.” Your interviewer is not looking for a 10-minute dissertation here. Instead, offer a razor sharp sentence or two that sets the stage for further discussion and sets you apart from your competitors.

Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)说出你的卖点

Give them “your synopsis about you” answer, specifically your Unique Selling Proposition. Known as a personal branding or a value-added statement, the USP is a succinct, one-sentence description of who you are, your biggest strength and the major benefit that a company will derive from this strength. Here is an example of a Unique Selling Proposition: “I’m a seasoned Retail Manager strong in developing training programs and loss prevention techniques that have resulted in revenue savings of over $2.3Million for (employer’s name) during the past 11 years.”

What a difference you’ve made with this statement. Your interviewer is now sitting forward in her chair giving you her full attention. At this point, you might add the following sentence: “I’d like to discuss how I might be able to do something like that for you.” The ball is now back in her court and you have the beginnings of a real discussion and not an interrogation process.

“My background to date has been centered around preparing myself to become the very best financial consultant I can become. Let me tell you specifically how I’ve prepared myself. I am an undergraduate student in finance and accounting at _________ University. My past experiences has been in retail and higher education. Both aspects have prepared me well for this career.”

首先要明确他们想了解的是哪方面的内容Do they want to know about your career so far, about your hobbies or family life? If in doubt, ASK them to clarify what they wish you to talk about. Then give a short factual answer, ending with “is there anything else you’d like to know about me?”

How would you describe yourself?

这个问题的答案应该是和他们的招聘广告上对于雇员的要求的基本一致,所以,看看你有哪些特质满足了他们的要求吧。

Try to think about what the interviewers are looking for and keep this in mind as you answer interview questions. Remember the job advert? Were they looking for initiative, a good communicator, someone with good attention to detail? Describe yourself in these terms. Start with “I am..” and not with “I think…” or “I believe..” so that you sound self aware and confident.

3、When you’re interviewing for an internal position within your company, you may be asked what you will do if you don’t get the job.The interviewer wants to know whether you are concerned about just the advancement opportunity or the company. 内部职位竞聘常会被问到如果你没有得到这份工作的话你将会怎么办的问题。

最佳答案:

I am committed to this company and its advancement so, should I not be selected, I will work with and support whoever might get selected. However, I do feel that my experience in the department and with the team would make me the best candidate

4、How would your boss describe you?

If you get the job, your interviewer may be your future boss so you need to answer this question carefully. Describe yourself as any boss would want to see you. You might say:

“My boss would describe me as hard working, loyal, friendly and committed. He would say that I work well on my own initiative and deliver what he wants on time and to a high standard”.

Again, don’t use the term “I think my boss would say..” as it gives an element of doubt. Be positive and certain with the interview answer you give.

5、What motivates you?

I am motivated by being around other positive people, we might question if working alone would suit them.

I am motivated by targets.

6、What do you look for in a job?

This is really a question about suitability, though we’ve included it here.

Remember the advert? Focus on the advert criteria and you won’t go far wrong. For example, if the advert called for someone to lead others, you might say:

“I like a job where I can lead and motivate others and enjoy seeing improvements in team performance”.

If the advert called for a target-focused individual, you might say:

“I like having targets. They encourage me to stretch myself and beat them!”

7、What is your personal mission statement or motto?

Not everyone has one, but because you might be asked, think what yours would be.

“Just do it!”

“Right first time, every time”.

“Less talk, more action”.

“Treat others as you’d wish to be treated”.

“Fortune favours the brave”.

“Quality, quality, quality…”.

Our advice: This is one of those times when we ask candidates to explain their answers to our interview questions. So, whatever you say, it’s likely you’ll be asked to give a reason or example so have one in mind. For most jobs, you want to sound positive and motivated, but possibly not ruthless or inconsiderate.

8、What do you enjoy most about what you do now?

“I really enjoy the technical nature of the job and the speed at which I’m able to fix faults. I get a lot of satisfaction from getting people back to work as soon as possible”.

If working as part of a team is mentioned as a requirement of the job, you might answer:

“I really enjoy being part of a team. I like it when the team pulls together to achieve something and everyone can take some credit”.

9、 What do you enjoy least about your current role?

A good interview answer might go something like this:

“Actually, I enjoy everything about what I do. I suppose if I had to give something up, it would be…”

The ‘something’ depends on you, but it’s best to mention something incidental to your job, like admin or paperwork. So you might say:

“I’m not sure (pause). I suppose if I had to pick something to give up it would be paperwork. I know it’s important, and I do it well, but if someone else did if for me, that would be great!”

10、 Why do you want to leave your current job/company?

If you’re applying for a more senior job, you might answer:

“I really enjoy what I do, but I’m ready for more responsibility and challenge which your job offers. Unfortunately, my current job/employer can’t give me this.”

If this isn’t the reason, use yours instead, but always be positive in your answers to tough interview question

11、What do you think of your current boss?

“My current boss is great. He sets the team challenging but realistic targets and motivates us to achieve them…”

“My current boss is very good. She deals with her team firmly but fairly and enjoys our respect because of this…”

If your current boss is not great, and you are prepared to answer more interview questions about this, say so, but do balance each criticism with a positive point. Remember the need to appear positive in your answers to interview questions. You might say:

“My current boss has strengths and weaknesses. He is very good at listening to people but sometimes, in my view, doesn’t deal with underperformers firmly enough. This affects team morale sometimes…”

12、What will you miss about your present job?

People is the best interview answer here. Say anything else and you’re suggesting the job you’re applying for won’t give you everything you had and more, and might even leave you wanting!

As you think about answers to interview questions, always have in mind the need to create a positive impression.

“Well I’m confident that the job you’re offering will give me everything I have now and more so I don’t think I’ll miss anything about the job itself. But I’ll miss some of the people of course…”

13、What can you tell me about XYZ Company?

If you need to, start by saying “Is it ok if I refer to my notes?”. When you get the nod, off you go.

A good interview answer should include short factual statements covering such things as the Company’s history, its products, staff numbers, turnover and future business objectives. Something like this is fine:

“I believe the Company began in 1967, with just one outlet, but now has 25. From what I’ve read, you sell A, B and C products across Europe and the States and have a turnover in excess of $5 million. You employ 125 staff. I beleive you hope to enter the Asian market by 2010〃. “I’ve done some research and can tell you more if you like”.

You will likely hear “No, that’s fine. Thank you.”

Your interviewers will be impressed that you prepared and made notes and you’re off to a good start.

14、What do you think XYZ Company can offer you?

There are two bits to this interview question, the role and the Company. Mention both. You might say:

“I’m told the Company has a firm commitment to individual training and development. This is great news for me because I’m keen to learn and advance in the Company. The role itself appears challenging and rewarding which I’ll find very motivating”.

15、If you’re successful, what do you think you’ll be doing day-to-day?

You might start by saying “I understand that I’ll be…”. Then you could talk about the main role, any other activities and any targets you expect to be given.

16、What are your strengths/weaknesses?

IMPORTANT ― this common job interview question can be asked in many different ways, such as “What qualities do you admire in others that you would like to develop in yourself?”

Strengths should be easy enough to think about (keep the position in mind).

Talking about weaknesses can be harder but good interview answers are still possible. Many people choose to mention something which they’ve recognized as being a weakness but have overcome.

“I’d like to be more organized, like one of my colleagues. She doesn’t have to try. But because I don’t find it as easy as her, I use to-do lists and a diary to help me successfully manage my work”.

On a final note, it’s much safer to highlight your lack of experience or knowledge as a weakness than a fault in your personality. Employers can always give you experience but few want to help you overcome shortcomings in your personality! So avoid telling interviewers that you “get bored” or “too involved” or “frustrated”!

17、Why did you think you are suited to this job?

What they are really asking is “You know what we are looking for so can you tell us what you have done or what you have, that is relevant.”

18、Why should we give the job to you above other applicants?

This is often our closing question. We want to know, in a nutshell, why you are the best candidate for the job. This is a chance to list your best attributes as they relate to the vacancy. Don’t be cocky, but don’t be shy.

19、How well do you work under pressure?

“I know that all jobs involve some sort of pressure at some time. I can work as well under pressure as I do at any other time but when I am busy, I prioritize activities so that my workload is manageable.”

If the interviewers focus on other pressure, such as pressure to meet targets, dealing with difficult customers etc, give an appropriate reply, mentioning past situations where you have coped under such pressure.

20、What sort of people do you find it difficult to work with?

“I am an easy going person who seems to get on with everyone. If I have to pick a type of person that bothers me, it’s the one who doesn’t pull their weight or isn’t worried about the standard of their work because it reflects badly on the rest of the team.”

21、Sell me this pen!

In interviews for sales job, you may hear this, believe us! In fact, one of us had a non-sales interview and was asked this, unexpectedly. The object you are asked to sell could in fact be anything. Some interviewers like to see whether you focus on the benefits of the object or its features. The features of the pen might be that it’s blue, with a roller ball and plastic coating. The benefits might be that it’s reliable, easy to hold and leak proof.

22、What key skills do you think you need to be successful in this role?

You got this far because your job application form or resume or CV matched the interviewers’ criteria as specified in the job advert. Just expand on this in your job interview answers. List the skills you think are required, giving a little explanation as to why each is needed.

You might then be asked to give examples where you’ve used one or more of these skills. These are behavioural interview questions.

23、Where do you see yourself in five years time?

This can be a difficult job interview question to answer, especially if you’ve not thought beyond getting this job! When you answer, you want to sound ambitious enough to be motivated to do a good job, but not too ambitious in case your interviewers think you’re only using this job as a stepping stone to something better.

I can be successful in this job and taken on additional responsibilities and be considered suitable for promotion.

24、How does this job fit into your career plans?

This is a similar job interview question to the one above really, except that it looks beyond five years. Be realistic. You might say something like this if you’re going for a middle-management position:

“My ambition is to lead a department and be involved in strategic decision-making at a senior level. I expect the role I’m applying for to give me more experience of leading and some introduction to strategy so that I’m ready for a senior role in a few years time”.

25、Where did you think you’d be at this stage in your life?

Avoid saying further than you are now! It’s better to show you’ve met or exceeded your ambitions than fallen short of them. Tell the interviewers that you are happy with your life and career, but are looking for more challenge as you like to stretch yourself to achieve more.

26、If you could start again, what career decisions would you make differently?

You’re on sticky ground if you start trying to think of hypothetical career changes that might have served you better in the past. Your answers to interview questions will suggest you’re not happy with the way things are and no-one wants to hire an unhappy person.

“I wouldn’t change anything. I am happy with my career as it is now but want fresh challenges.”

“I’m not the kind of person who looks back with regrets. I prefer to invest my energy looking forward”.

27、 How would you approach a typical project?

If you’re applying for a project based job, such as a project manager, you will be asked this job interview question. Don’t give a long winded answer, but try to demonstrate that you would take into account the main components of effective project planning such as:

- Planning the schedule backwards from completion

- Working out what you need to get the job done effectively and on time

- Budgeting ― costs, time and resources

- Allowing a contingency

28、How would you get the best from people?

If you are applying for any management role, it is highly likely you’ll be asked this job interview question. The kind of skills that we’d be looking for in a good applicant are:

- Good communication

- Teamwork skills

- Recognizing what each person can bring

- Setting a good example

- Praising good performances

29、 Give us an example of how you have resolved conflict.

As this is a behavioural interview question, you need to find an example of conflict that you have resolved. The sort of skills you need to demonstrate in your interview answer are:

- Fairness

- Discussing problems with individuals in private

- Making sure you get to the root of the problem

- Finding a solution that everyone will accept

30、What did you look for when you hired people in the past?

This is a general question. Don’t think about specific skills of the job you are applying for. Think generally about the key attributes everyone looks for in a good applicant. Among others, these include:

- Aptitude

- Skills

- Initiative

- Flexibility

- Commitment

31、Do you work best by yourself or as part of a team?

Most jobs require both, to varying degrees.

As with all answers to job interview questions, think about the position you are applying for. Are the interviewers looking for a team worker? Did they mention this in the advert or is it implicit in the job description? If a team player is required, tell the interviewers that you work well in a team. Give an example if you can. You might say:

“I prefer to work in teams. I find that better decisions are reached when people work together and share ideas. Of course I’m happy to work alone when required too.”

If the job is mostly done alone, you might say:

“I work very well by myself because I’m self motivated, organized and conscientious. I’m comfortable working in teams though and recognize that this is better in some situations”.

32、What kind of personality do you work best with and why?

You will deal with many personalities in any job. If the interviewers know the people you’ll be working with, they might have a personality in mind! It’s hard for you to know this however so stick to a safe answer. You might say:

“I find I work well with almost everyone but who I work best with might depend on the activity. If it’s a project, I prefer to work with someone who’s practical and organized because this is important. If it’s leading a discussion, working with someone who’s a good facilitator helps.”

33、How would you go about establishing your credibility quickly within the team?

Gaining credibility quickly is important. Make sure you listen, learn, question, understand. You might say: “That’s a good question and I realize it’s important to gain credibility quickly. I believe the best way is to show your colleagues that you respect their experience and want to learn from them as well as about them. You need to listen, ask the right questions and make sure you understand. If they can see you’ll fit in early on, it helps”.

34、Tell me about a time where you had to deal with conflict on the job.

This is a behavioural interview question. If you can’t think of an example, it’s ok to say so. If that’s the case, either say how you would deal with it, or use an example where someone you know dealt with conflict well.

Most interviewers would look for:

-Getting both sides of the argument

-Suggesting and agreeing compromise

-Showing tactfulness

-Showing empathy

35、What irritates you about other people, and how do you deal with it?

Personal conflict is inevitable in the workplace Try not to say that A or B irritates you. Instead, talk about the characteristics which you find hard, not the people. You might say:

“I find I get on with most people so it’s not normally a problem. It’s rather disappointing when people don’t pull their weight I suppose and this has happened. In that instance I spoke to the person in private, explained that they were letting the team down and asked them to make more of an effort. They did.”

36、”Can you give me some idea of the salary you’re expecting?”is one of those job interview questions that can really get you tongue-tied.

What do you say? Usually, moments later, you realize you’ve accepted a salary far lower than you wanted. Although you were prepared to negotiate your salary, you panicked at the last minute and lost your nerve. As you leave the interview room, your excitement at getting the job is tainted. You can’t help feeling undervalued, even a little duped. Ask for too much and you risk looking unrealistic, over confident, maybe even greedy. Ask for too little and you risk undervaluing yourself and your contribution, and ultimately being underpaid. For many of us, salary is one of the most important factors in taking a job, but it’s often the hardest to deal with.

Nerves got the better of her and worried about sounding greedy, she suggested a lower amount. When she was offered the job, there was the salary she suggested, right at the start of the offer letter. She wasn’t surprised but she was disappointed. So how can you avoid this happening to you?

Research is essential when it comes to suggesting a reasonable salary. Take time to look though job advertisements for similar positions. Research the WWW or post a question in a forum or on Yahoo! Answers Research the Company too. A large Company, if asked, will probably have more scope to offer you a better benefits package than a smaller one.

-Don’t initiate salary discussions or say anything about pay during your job interview unless asked

-If you’re asked for a figure, suggest a range rather than an actual figure. This gives room to negotiate if a firm job offer is made during the job interview

-If you’re offered the job and reach agreement on a salary, make sure the written job offer states this amount clearly

-And when it comes to the actual salary negotiation here are 6 essential salary

-The most important thing to remember when discussing your salary is that it is a negotiation. Like any form of bartering, the first figure you mention in the job interview probably won’t be the figure you agree on. But it’s a place to start.

-Be confident about what you’re worth. Recognise that you’re bringing something unique to the Company, and that you’re worth the wage you’re requesting. Even if you’ve only jusfinished school or college, you still have something unique to offer and it’s important to bear that in mind as you think about salary negotiation.

-Remember also that it’s not easy finding the right person for a job. If you’ve impressed the interviewers enough to employ you, you have the upper hand and paying a little more to keep you isn’t too big a deal. So ask for a slightly higher salary than you expect.

-If the job advertisement mentions a salary range, employers will be prepared to pay more for the right candidate. If you’re a little uncomfortable asking for the top figure, choose one just above the mid-range. This gives the impression that you are worth a good wage and is a great place to start.

Assuming an advertised salary range of $30,000 to $42,000, you might say this:

“I’m expecting a salary in the region of $38,000, based on my knowledge and experience”.

Remember that salary is not everything. If the salary is less than you hoped and the Company won’t or can’t go any higher, ask about other benefits which are important to you like training courses, financial help with further study and so on.

37、What specific goals, including those related to your occupation, have you established for your life?

I want to be working for an excellent company like yours in a job in which I am managing information. I plan to contribute my leadership, interpersonal, and technical skills. My long-range career goal is to be the best information systems technician I can for the company I work for.

38、How has your college experience prepared you for a business career?

I have prepared myself to transition into the work force through real-world experience involving travel abroad, internship, and entrepreneurial opportunities. While interning with a private organization in Ecuador, I developed a 15-page marketing plan composed in Spanish that recommended more effective ways the company could promote its services. I also traveled abroad on two other occasions in which I researched the indigenous culture of the Mayan Indians in Todos Santos, Guatemala, and participate din a total language immersion program in Costa Rica. As you can see from my academic, extracurricular, and experiential background, I have unconditionally committed myself to success as a marketing professional.

39、Please describe the ideal job for you following graduation.

My ideal job is one that incorporates both my education and practical work skills to be the best I can be. Namely combining my education in finance with my working knowledge of customer service operations, entrepreneurial abilities, computer skills, and administrative skills. I want to utilize my analytical expertise to help people meet their financial goals. This is exactly why I am convinced that I would be a very valuable member of the Merrill Lynch team.

40、What influenced you to choose this career?

My past experiences have shown me that I enjoy facing and overcoming the challenge of making a sale. Without a doubt, once I have practiced my presentation and prepared myself for objections, I feel very confident approaching people I don’t know and convincing them that they need my product. Lastly, I like sales because my potential for success is limited only by how much of myself I dedicate toward my goal. If any profession is founded on self-determinism, it surely must be sales.

41、At what point did you choose this career?

I knew that I wanted to pursue information systems technology about my sophomore year in college. It was then that I realized that my hobby (computers) was taking up most of my time. My favorite courses were IT courses. I also realized that I was doing computer-oriented work-study that I enjoyed so much I would have done it for free.

42、What specific goals have you established for your career?

My goals include becoming a Certified Financial Advisor so I can obtain a better working knowledge of financial research analysis, which would allow me contribute to my client base as a better financial consultant since I would have that extra insight into the companies they are seeking to invest in. Also this is the foundation block to advancing my career to portfolio manager or even branch office manager.

43、What will it take to attain your goals, and what steps have you taken toward attaining them?

I’ve already done some research on other workers at Merrill Lynch to see how they achieved similar goals. I know that Merrill Lynch encourages the pursuit and will reimburse for tuition of a graduate degree. I plan on pursuing a MBA to give me an even more extensive knowledge of business and financial analysis.

44、How did you handle a challenge?

-During a difficult financial period, I was able to satisfactorily negotiate repayment schedules with multiple vendors.

-When the software development of our new product stalled, I coordinated the team which managed to get the schedule back on track. We were able to successfully troubleshoot the issues and solve the problems, within a very short period of time.

-A long-term client was about to take their business to a competitor. I met with the customer and was able to change how we handled the account on a day-to-day basis, in order to keep the business

45、When you’re asked what your greatest weakness is, try to turn a negative into a positive.

For example, a sense of urgency to get projects completed or wanting to triple-check every item in a spreadsheet can be turned into a strength. i.e. you are a candidate who will make sure that the project is done on time and your work will be close to perfect.

Weakness

-When I’m working on a project, I don’t want just to meet deadlines. Rather, I prefer to complete the project well ahead of schedule.

-Being organized wasn’t my strongest point, but I implemented a time management system that really helped my organization skills.

-I like to make sure that my work is perfect, so I tend to perhaps spend a little too much time checking it. However, I’ve come to a good balance by setting up a system to ensure everything is done correctly the first time.

-I used to wait until the last minute to set appointments for the coming week, but I realized that scheduling in advance makes much more sense.

Strength

-When I’m working on a project, I don’t want just to meet deadlines. Rather, I prefer to complete the project well ahead of schedule.

-I have exceeded my sales goals every quarter and I’ve earned a bonus each year since I started with my current employer.

-My time management skills are excellent and I’m organized, efficient, and take pride in excelling at my work.

-I pride myself on my customer service skills and my ability to resolve what could be difficult situations.

46、How well can you work in stressful situations?

-Stress is very important to me. With stress, I do the best possible job. The appropriate way to deal with stress is to make sure I have the correct balance between good stress and bad stress. I need good stress to stay motivated and productive.

-I react to situations, rather than to stress. That way, the situation is handled and doesn’t become stressful.

-I actually work better under pressure and I’ve found that I enjoy working in a challenging environment.

-From a personal perspective, I manage stress by visiting the gym every evening. It’s a great stress reducer.

-Prioritizing my responsibilities so I have a clear idea of what needs to be done when, has helped me effectively manage pressure on the job.

-If the people I am managing are contributing to my stress level, I discuss options for better handling difficult situations with them.

47、What’s motivates you?

-I was responsible for several projects where I directed development teams and implemented repeatable processes. The teams achieved 100% on-time delivery of software products. I was motivated both by the challenge of finishing the projects ahead of schedule and by managing the teams that achieved our goals.

-I’ve always been motivated by the desire to do a good job at whatever position I’m in. I want to excel and to be successful in my job, both for my own personal satisfaction and for my employer.

-I have always wanted to ensure that my company’s clients get the best customer service I can provide. I’ve always felt that it’s important, both to me personally, and for the company and the clients, to provide a positive customer experience.

-I have spent my career in sales, typically in commission-based positions, and compensation has always been a strong factor in motivating me to be the top salesperson at my prior employers.

48、Salary Negotiations

If you’re asked what your salary requirements are, say that they are open based upon the position and the overall compensation package. Or tell the employer you’d like to know more about the responsibilities and the challenges of the job prior to discussing salary.

Another option is to give the employer a salary range based upon the salary research you’ve done up front. Once you’ve received the offer you don’t need to accept (or reject) it right away. A simple “I need to think it over” can get you an increase in the original offer.

And if you’re ambivalent about the position a “no” can bring you a better offer too. I turned down a position I knew I didn’t want, regardless of salary, and received three follow-up phone calls upping the compensation package.

49、Negotiating a Raise

Be aware of company policy regarding compensation. Be flexible. Would you consider an extra couple of weeks vacation instead of a raise? I know someone who’s regularly taken time-off instead of money and now has six vacation weeks a year… Then, ask your supervisor for a meeting to discuss salary. Present your request, supported by documentation, calmly and rationally. Don’t ask for an immediate answer. Your boss is mostly likely going to have to discuss it with Human Resources and/or other company managers. Despite your best efforts, there may simply not be enough money in the budget to increase your salary or compensation package offer. The company may also not want to create inequities by paying one person more than others in a similar position. In that case, you can at least know you tried. Plus, if this is a job you really think that you’re going to love, consider whether the company culture, the benefits, and the job itself are worth it C regardless of the salary.

50、What Are You Passionate About?

-One of my greatest passions is helping others. When I was younger, I’ve enjoyed helping mom with household repairs. As I grew older, that habit grew and I desired to help others as well. I like helping people find solutions that meet their specific needs.

-I’m passionate about painting. I take an evening art class once a week and try to find time each weekend to paint. Painting is a good way for me to relax and even though I don’t have much talent, I do it enjoy it.

-I lost my father to pancreatic cancer and ever since then, I have spent time volunteering to help raise awareness and funding for cancer research. I volunteer for PanCan, the advocacy group, and I’m part of their volunteer network. One of the things I’m passionate is to assist in finding a cure, however I can.

-I’m passionate about making a difference. When I’m involved with a project at work I want to do my best to achieve success. I feel the same way about what I do in my personal life.

-I’m an avid skier and I like to spend weekends and vacations on the ski slopes.

51、”What Do People Most Often Criticize About You?

There’s no on-going criticism. I’m open to personal and professional growth and welcome the opportunity to improve.

I have a teenage daughter C few things I do are okay on her radar screen.

52、Why do you want this job?

-This is not only a fine opportunity, but this company is a place where my qualifications can make a difference.

That’s the kind of job I like to anticipate every morning.
