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; and then presented our opinions in front of the whole class。 I loved those subjects
点评: 的确有很多同学并不喜欢自己的主修课程, 那么, 请像这位同学一样, 告诉面试官你真正的兴趣在哪里。
6。 What subjects were your least favorite? Why? 你最不喜欢的课程是什么?为什么?
问题分析: 外国面试官往往更加辨证, 在问完成功经历后一定要追问失败经历, 问完喜欢什么科目之后也要问问不喜欢什么科目。
第七节 外企面试最常见的36个英文问题(4)
回答示范1: My least favorite courses include Marxism and Revolutionary History of China。 I don’t like these subjects not because I am not a patriot─actually I love my country and I am fascinated by its revolutionary history。 However; these subjects turned out to be disappointments as the textbooks and the ways they were taught were nothing but a repetition of the history subjects in our secondary school。
点评1: 在和老外面试的时候, 要注意文化差异, 他可能很难理解中国学生为什么不喜欢学“马哲”和“中国革命史”, 所以你需要解释一下, 这并非是我们不爱国, 而是这两门课程几十年如一日的老面孔, 学生在高中就已经学过, 老师也不愿意对教学法进行创新。
回答示范2: I found Macroeconomics and Microeconomics disappointing as well; for the reason that their information fell behind the times。 For example; the exchange rate between RMB and 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 anized by the Student Union。
点评2: 这个答案相比而言更好一些, 因为它体现出了申请人对知识的渴望, 以及在课堂上得不到知识时如何去自我进修。
7。 Other than the courses you studied; what is the most important thing you learned from your college experience? 除了学习方面, 你在大学里面最大的收获是什么?
问题分析: 外国面试官的思维往往非常直接, 他坚持认为, 只有在大学里面有巨大收获的人, 才能在工作岗位上取得巨大收获。所以说, 千万不要天真地说: 我在大学里学会了自理, 学会了安排自己的生活!晕, 这是baby的成就, 绝对不能拿到大学里面来说了
回答示范1: Well; I think the most important thing I have learnt in university is how to set appropriate goals and see them through。 You know it is so easy for university students to waste time if they don’t set goals; so I set demanding 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。 (点评: 面试官一定会追问你是怎么实现两个目标的。) 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 petition。 To achieve the goal I changed my strategy。 I transferred from the Student Union to a newlyfounded union。 And within 6 months; I acquired more than 20 members and anized a few eyecatching activities。 As a result; I became the leader of that club。 I think I've learnt not only to set a demanding goal; but also how to overe all the difficulties to achieve it。
点评1: 这是一个很漂亮的回答, 体现了自己的优点: 既能够给自己设立比较高的目标, 也擅长克服困难, 实现自己的目标。面试官最喜欢的人选, 就是这种“目标导向型”的申请人。
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 and 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 and decided that rehearsals occupy too much time。 In my opinion; nothing is more important than making the right choice。

点评2: 这个回答符合我们一贯强调的“个性化”和“夸赞自己”两个原则。
8。 How did you finance your college education? 你大学的费用是怎么样支付的?(家里供还是自己打工?)
问题分析: 很显然, 和中国面试官相比, 老外更加青睐在大学就有赚钱能力的候选人, 并坚持认为他们的独立性和能力比完全依赖父母的候选人要强得多。
回答示范: So far; my tuition and living expense are around 40;000 RMB。 My parents offer two thirds of it and I pay the rest of it。 I have been granted scholarship three times; making 5;000 RMB in total。 Teaching and other parttime jobs made another 5;000。
点评: 很真实的回答, 同时也体现了自己的学习成绩好和社团活动很积极的优点。
三、 Experience 关于工作经验的问题
9。 Would you briefly describe this pany to me? 介绍一下你的原单位, 好吗?
问题分析: 当老外提出这个问题的时候, 他心里的疑问是: “这个公司我从来没有听说过, 是否是个名不见经传的小公司?”所以, 在向老外介绍自己工作单位的时候, 要着重强调公司的优点, 规模大的强调规模, 人数多的强调人数。如果你所在的公司业务总量很小, 你可以告诉面试官, 业务总量不大但是平均到每个员工的业务量却相当惊人!
回答示范: “广盛发”, the name means “a big; prosperous pany”; hehe; although it’s not really a very big pany。 But; it’s true that the pany is quite prosperous。 It specializes in exporting women’s shoes。 With only 10 employees so far the turnover last year was up to 15;000;000 RMB。 I am one of the three customer service officers; with the responsibility of order taking; tracking and general customer service roles。 Due to the limited number of staff; we all work more than 10 hours a day; 7 days a week in busy season。
点评: 很明显, 这个回答既体现了自己原来的公司的规模, 也暗示了自己能够适应繁忙工作的特点。
10。 Would you describe your typical working day? 请你描述一下自己典型的一天的工作吧。
问题分析: 在这个问题上, 面试官希望捕捉到的信息点是: 第一, 这个家伙原来干的工作和我们现在这份工作到底有多少是类似的?第二, 他在原来工作单位表现到底怎么样?所以, 在描述自己的工作内容时, 要注意突出两个信息点: 第一, 用事实突出自己繁忙并且业绩不错的优点; 第二, 要着意强调一下和所申请工作类似的内容。
回答示范: Yes。 I would arrive at office half an hour earlier as my boss often gives me a lot of work once he es in; and I have to be ready for it。 My responsibilities are mainly to assist the sales manager and representatives with order tracking; stock reporting; document preparation and translation; using Excel; Word and PowerPoint。 When the reps are on a business trip; I will deal with their share。 Two thirds of my work involves puters; working on tables and forms precisely and quickly。 The rest of time is to take care of the managers and reps; you know; do what they need me to。
点评: 用事实说明自己是个敬业的人。在描述工作内容的时候, 有细节性描述, 也有总结性描述, 非常清晰。
11。 Why do you want to leave your job? 你为什么要离职?
第七节 外企面试最常见的36个英文问题(6)
回答示范1: To be honest; the reason I quit is that I am not pleased by my current job。 My current work is in a vocational high school。 Maybe I have to explain a bit more here。 In China; vocational high schools are designed for the lessadvanced students or the ones wanting work instead of going to university to further their education。 As a result; the social status and the pay in vocational high schools are not at all satisfactory。 I can never bee a professor in this school
