英语面试中最让人捉急的六种回答

　　网上流传有很多“面经”，很多HR亲授面试宝典，但面试这件事永远不可能生搬硬套，有些技巧只能学起精髓，因人而异。本文作者以自己参加过的招聘面试为例，从雇主的角度告诉你，面试时碰到以下6种回答，连面试官都要为你捉急！

英语面试中最让人捉急的六种回答

　　（本文作者李淼曾任纽约市调查局调查员，美国期货行业协会审计调查员和CCTV9套节目播音等职，现任新东方商务英语教师。）

　　NO.1 我叫XXX，我是XXX人，我从XXX毕业

　　表达难点：“Tell me about yourself.”这是出现频率最高，大家普遍觉得最好回答，但是回答得最糟糕的问题。

　　普遍犯的错误有三种。第一种，英语自我介绍从小学英语角就开始背了，是大家说的最顺流的一段话。所以上来就不喘气地呱啦呱啦，没有重点没有停顿，除了制造噪音，自己都不知道呱啦了些啥。

　　第二种，上来就是“我叫韦小宝，我是扬州人，之前在国务院后勤部门工作，我娘叫春花我爹不详……”请准备这段话的时候先动脑子想一想，人家要不知道你叫韦小宝怎么打电话叫你过来的？你上的哪所大学简历上没写么？你家是扬州人跟你要申请的职位有关系么？

　　第三种，话痨。好不容易捞到一个机会倾诉，有的人一直不停地给我描述他的前世今生，听得我困啊累啊，之前攒的那点精神头儿都耗光了。没办法，第一个问题之后只能请这位走人了。

　　表述技巧：能够把握好这个问题基本上面试有了50%的把握。技巧在于要简洁、要有重点。简洁是希望你把回答这个问题的时间控制在一分半到两分钟之内。我们都很自私，今天就是LADY GAGA给我讲两分钟以上的ME ME ME ME ME ME，我也会忍不住发飙的。在准备面试的时候多REHEARSE几次，注意控制好时间，语速自然连贯（“自然”排在前面）。

　　有重点地描述自己是另外一个关键点。在这两分钟内，一定要把针对这个职位，把自己最大的优势描述出来。怎么描述？细节！中国人说话喜欢把具体的东西描述的抽象浪漫，西方人更倾向于细节的呈现。描述事件必须要具体到时间（年月日）地点（具体地址，具体方向）人物（姓名职位关系）。你说的东西一定是简历里面没机会写或者没机会ELABORATE的。之前毕业的学校，任职的机构，生辰八字，婚姻生活状况等等，和工作有关系的面试官会看简历，看不懂他/她会再问。好好利用这宝贵的两分钟，你的人生轨迹很有可能就此改变。

　　BTW，别忘了在“两分钟演说”的最后，轻吸一口气，露出幸福的微笑，补上一句“Is there anything else you want to know?”

　　Q&A例句：

　　Tell me about yourself

　　I'm a regional retail manager. I’m very strong in developing training programs and loss prevention techniques that have resulted in revenue savings of over $42Million for ABC Company during the past 10 years.

　　面试中如何回答“你善于团队合作吗”

　　Alternative and related questions:

　　相关问题：

　　Are you a team player?

　　你善于团队合作吗？

　　In what ways are you a team player?

　　你如何说明自己善于团队合作？

　　Do you prefer working on your own or as part of a team?

　　你倾向于单独工作还是团队合作？

　　How would you define teamwork?

　　你如何看待团队工作？

　　Can you tell me about a team you worked in and the role you played within that team?

　　你可以谈谈你的团队合作经历以及你在团队中扮演的角色吗？

　　What do you think makes a perfect team?

　　你认为好的团队应该具备什么？

　　The meaning behind the question:

　　问题背后的意义：

　　Teamwork is essential in almost any work environment. Questioning your ability to work in a team is therefore one of an interviewer’s favourites. They’ll be looking for evidence of a number of core abilities:

　　团队合作在任何工作环境中都是至关重要的。因此考察你的团队合作能力是面试官们的最爱。他们会考察你是否具有以下几个关键能力：

　　The ability to communicate effectively with others

　　和别人有效沟通的能力

　　The ability to recognise and understand the viewpoints of others

　　识别和理解他人观点的能力

　　The ability to appreciate the contribution you are expected to make

　　乐于接受交代任务的能力

　　Your answer:

　　你的回答：

　　This is a very important and very popular question which could be phrased in many different ways. As well as pre-preparing your answer to, “Are you a team player”, you should also draft answers to all the alternative questions I’ve listed above. There will be common ground between your answers but each will have a slightly different slant to it.

　　这是一个非常重要的问题，经常会被问到，提问的方式也有很多种。你不仅要事先想好“你善于团队合作吗”这个问题的答案，上面列出的其他相关问题也要事先准备。这些问题的答案具有共同点，但是每一个都要有不同的侧重点。

　　You could answer the question in the context of your current job but you’d be better off approaching it from the angle of the job for which you are applying. They’re asking you in what ways you are a team player but you need to be asking yourself in what ways will they want you to be a team player. Are they looking for a leader? Are they looking for someone who brings out the best in others? Are they looking for the person who generates the ideas or the person who is a dab hand at putting new ideas into practice?

　　你可以从现在的工作切入来回答这个问题，但是最好从你申请的工作这个角度入手。他们也许问的是你如何说明自己善于团队合作，但是你要问自己的是他们希望你成为怎样的团队合作者。他们找的是领导吗？或者他们找的是能在团队中带动别人的人？他们是要找出点子的人，还是要找能将想法付诸实现的能手？

　　Establish in your own mind what sort of a team player they want you to be and then deliver an answer which caters to that image.

　　在心中想好他们要找的是那种团队合作者，再据此做出相应回答。

　　Example:

　　例子：

　　I certainly very much enjoy working with others; I’m outgoing, I enjoy the team spirit and I’m understanding of the needs of others. I’m good at helping the team to see the bigger picture – to see the wood from the trees – helping them to focus on what really matters rather than getting bogged down in irrelevant detail. I’m also good at helping the team to spot flaws in our approach – and potential problems and pitfalls. I believe I have strong communication skills and, while I don’t yet have experience in a leadership role, I do have a talent for liaising between different team members and resolving any disputes which may arise. Conflict between different team members is rarely very productive and is normally best avoided.

　　我当然非常享受和别人合作的过程。我性格外向，欣赏团队精神，我也了解他人想要什么。我擅长帮助整个团队掌握大局——从树木中看到森林——帮助他们专注于最重要的事而不是纠结于不相关的小细节。我还很擅长帮助团队找到工作中的不足之处，发现潜在的问题，避免陷阱。我的沟通能力很强，虽然我没有在团队中担当过领导角色，但是我善于联络不同的团队成员，解决纠纷，因此团队成员发生的冲突很少会恶化并且能很好地解决。

　　面试官心声：成功求职者必备的6大素质

　　Alex Malley FCPA is the chief executive of CPA Australia and the host of the Nine Network television series The Bottom Line. Alex is also a regular contributor to The Huffington Post .

　　Alex Malley FCPA是澳大利亚CPA公司主管，NIne Network电视节目The Bollom Line节目主持人。他还是Huffington 邮报撰稿人。

　　What I have learned, after years of experience interviewing people at all levels and walks of life, is that interviewing a job applicant is not dissimilar to interviewing aprospective house mate. You are going to spend a lot of time under the same roof as this person. Accordingly, you need a confidence that they will fit in with the other house mates, that they are all they seem to be, and they are there to make an enduring commitment.

　　经过多年的面试，我接触到了来自不同行业，不同水平的人。这让我了解到面试一名求职者和了解未来的室友是一样的。你要和这个人在同一屋檐下共度很长时间。而且，你还要保证他可以和其他的室友相处良好、表里如一、可以长期奉献。

　　To help me with this, there are six characteristics in a conversation with a job applicant I mentally tick-off in order to identify the right person for the job. These tips can be useful for both the interviewer and interviewee.

　　为了找到合适的人选，面试的时候我会在脑子里勾勒出合格求职者的六大特点。下面的建议对面试官和求职者都会有所帮助。

　　1. Are they interesting?

　　1. 他们有趣吗？

　　My test for this is not about the depth of a person’s ability, but the breadth of their curiosity in life. Do they have genuine outside interests? Do they have friendships spanning different lines and backgrounds?

　　我对这项的考察并不是取决于一个人能力的高低，而是看这个人对于生活保有多少好奇心。除了关心利益之外，他们是否真诚？他们有没有来自不同行业不同背景的朋友？

　　I have often found people are more interesting than they project themselves to be. As a chief executive or interviewer, I should not have to work hard at finding out what makes you interesting. An applicant that leaves me wanting to know more about them gets a big tick in my book.

　　我经常发现有些人比展现出来的更有意思。作为一个高级管理人员或面试官，我不会花费过多时间找出求职者的有趣之处。如果一个求职者可以让我想更多地了解他，那在我面前他已经成功一大半。

　　2. A holistic perspective

　　2. 全局观念

　　One of my great frustrations as a chief executive is people that think solely about the department or section they work in, rather than at the very least showing an interest and appreciation for all departments and how the business in total comes together.

　　作为一名高管，让我很迷惑的是，人们只关心自己部门的利益，对于整个公司以及这个行业的运转都缺乏最起码的兴趣和了解。

　　So, when it comes to a job candidate, I look for their intuitive interest in the whole of the business above and beyond the role they are applying for.

　　所以，在面试求职者的时候，相对于求职者对所求职位的兴趣，我更愿意了解他们对整个行业的兴趣。

　　3. Passion

　　3. 热情

　　It does not matter what the passion, but it is a shut door for me if I do not recognise the applicant’s emotional connection to something or someone in their life.

　　如果我在求职者身上看不到他对生活中某些人或某些事情充满热情(不管这些热情是在那些方面)，我不会录用他。

　　Without passion, people simply exist, they don’t live: selfishly I want to live with people, not merely exist with them.

　　没有热情，一个人只是存活，而不是生活。虽然有些自私，我还是愿意和人一起生活，而不是存活。

　　4. Open about their mistakes

　　4. 坦诚错误

　　The only way I have learnt anything in my career is from the mistakes I have made. In some ways, I am proud of them, but even more so, that I have learnt from them. So anyone who in a good, healthy and open conversation claims to being mistake-free, I would prefer it if they went and worked for a soul.

　　在职业生涯中，唯一我学到的东西就是，从犯错中学习。一定程度来讲，我以这些错误为豪。所以，一次开心、有益、开放的谈话，就不会避谈自己的错误。如果这些错误曾触动心灵，帮助了一个人的进步，我很愿意和人谈这些错误。

　　5. Opinionated

　　5. 有主见。

　　Admittedly, I am not an avid reader, but I am highly aware of the issues going on in my country and the world. What I expect from an interviewee is a natural and comfortable perspective on significant issues relevant, or not, to our business.

　　必须承认，我不是一个很有热情的读者，但是我很了解国内国外发生的事情。我希望从和求职者的谈话中了解到他对重大事件的直观的看法，无论这些事和工作是否相关。

　　6. Leadership

　　6. 领导才能

　　I look for someone who can tell me a story about a vision they have set, and their journey to achieving it. And, most importantly, I want them to clearly articulate how they mobilised people to achieve those outcomes. These sorts of leadership qualities are something I look for in applicants - at all levels.

　　我希望求职者可以告诉我一个故事，在这个故事里有他们自己既定的观点，完成一件工作的历程。最重要的是，我希望他们可以清楚的说出自己是如何调动他人共同完成这项工作的。不管一个求职者处于什么水平，我都希望在他们身上发现领导才能。

　　面试问题回答技巧：工资和工作哪个重要？

　　What is more important to you: the money or the work?

　　对你而言，工资和工作哪个更重要？

　　Money is always important, but the work you perform is the most important. Every employee who has quit a job in frustration knows the importance of enjoying their line of work. Let’s face it, there are a few positions that you wouldn’t do no matter the salary.

　　工资总是很重要，但是你从事的工作才是最重要的。每一位在纠结中辞掉工作的员工都知道享受工作的重要性。必须承认，有些工作不论工资多高，你都不会做的。

　　WORST ANSWER: This question may be posed to you in different ways, at different times in the interview. The interviewer knows what he’s doing: he’s looking for inconsistent answers on your part to determine if you’ve been coached . The worst thing you could do is answer differently than you did before. At that point, your consistency comes into question and the one thing that’s valued across all cultures is consistency.

　　最差回答：在面试中，面试官会以不同的方式在不同的时间向你提出这个问题。面试官知道他在做什么：他在寻找你回答问题中前后不一致的地方，以此来判断你是不是有备而来。最糟糕的回答就是前后不一致。这个时候，你的一致性就会受到质疑。而在所有的文化中，保持一致性都是十分重要的。

　　BEST ANSWER: The best answer is to put things into perspective. Money IS important — highly important — after all, no one works for free, but enjoying your work, your co-workers, and boss rank higher. We all know people, perhaps you’ve been in this same circumstance, who were highly paid but despised their job.

　　最好的回答：最好的回答一定要全面合理。工资确实很重要，毕竟任何人的工作都不是白干的，但是，更重要的是一定要喜欢自己的工作、老板以及同事。我们都知道一些人工资很高，却厌恶自己的工作，也许你也曾遇到过相同的情况。

　　Example: “My honest answer is that it depends on the money and the work. Obviously there are positions I wouldn’t do no matter the pay, but others I would consider on a volunteer basis. In reality, though, I don’t think a strong compensation package and enjoyable work are mutually exclusive. My desire is to work in a field that offers me not only the challenge of growth and personal development, but professional development as well. Based on what I’ve learned about this open position at your company, I believe I’m an ideal fit.”

　　范例回答：“说实话，这要看工资水平和所从事的工作。显然，有些工作即使给再高的工资我也不会做，而有些工作即使义务帮忙我也愿意。实际上，我也不认为高工资和喜欢的工作两者之间是对立的。我期望的工作既具有不断的挑战成长空间，同时还可为个人发展提供机会。基于我对您公司招聘职位的了解，我相信自己可以胜任。”

　　面试问题回答技巧：你对我们公司有什么了解？

　　What do you know about our organization?

　　问：“你对我们公司有哪些了解？”

　　1. Answer structure

　　1. 回答结构

　　Give 2 – 3 pieces of information you know about the company, which are appeal to customers and candidates.

　　说出2到3条你对这个公司的了解。内容要是客户及公司求职者感兴趣的。

　　Give out your skills, abilities, experiences and knowledge which can be suitable and developed.

　　说出自己适应公司需要或者潜在的技能，能力，经验和知识。

　　Ask questions about the company, such as advantages compared to the opponent firms; career development opportunity, company’s ability to expand etc.

　　对应聘公司提出问题。例如与对手公司相比，该公司有哪些优势；在公司的职业发展机会；以及公司自身的发展能力，等等。

　　2. Answer tips

　　2.回答小贴士

　　Some contents you can mention include: products and services, sales compared in the industry, brand, management, history and culture of the company.

　　你可以提到以下内容：公司的产品和服务，与同行业相比销售情况，企业品牌、管理、历史和文化。

　　Show your knowledge but do not prove that you know everything. Give the information to show your recent learning efforts.

　　展示自己的知识，但不要让别人觉得自己全部了解。展示自己最新学习能力。

　　Do not give personal comments such as: I think the CEO is well-known for dressing fashionably; or the boss of the company is a powerful person….

　　不要做过多个人主观性评论，例如，我认为执行总裁的穿着很时尚，或公司的老板是个很强势的人，等。

　　Include active information about your research; Don’t be passive, for example: The receptionist said that the company is well-known for…

　　谈话内容要积极展示自己的研究。不可以消极，例如，接待员说本公司以某某方面而著名，等等。

　　3. Answer samples

　　3.回答示范

　　I think your company is the best in IT industry. It provides a perfect working environment for employees, thanks to which, it may maintain a very good service in IT industry.

　　我认为贵公司是IT产业中的佼佼者。为员工提供了良好的工作环境，基于此，贵公司将持续为IT业提供良好的服务。

　　面试问题回答技巧：你的同事如何评价你？

　　How would your friends or coworkers describe you?

　　你的朋友和同事都是如何评价你的呢？

　　Sample 1.

　　实例1.

　　Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific statement or a paraphrase will work. Jill Clark, a co-worker at Smith Company, always said I was the hardest workers she had ever known. It is as powerful as Jill having said it at the interview herself.

　　准备好同事对自己一句或两句的评价。一句特殊的评论或转述会对面试非常有帮助。Jill Clark 是Smith公司的工作人员，总是说：“我的同事说我是她见过的工作最努力的人。”Jill在面试时转述这样的评论是会对面试非常有帮助的。

　　Sample 2

　　实例2.

　　My co-workers always admit that I am good team player by providing suitable advices at the right time. They also add that I have a balance between good stress and bad stress.

　　Sample 4

　　Both my friends and coworkers would say that I’m reliable, because of the fact that I’m the one that everyone calls. Whenever any of my friends have a problem I’m the friend they know will give them an honest answer, or be there to help them with whatever needs to be done.

　　我的朋友和同事都说我是个值得信任的人，因为所有人有事情都会给我打电话。只要我的朋友遇上什么问题，我这个朋友就会给他们提供中肯的建议，或者待在他们身边力所能及的去帮助他们。
