英语面试问题及回答 英语面试如何准备(5)

　　点评3： 很多人都会说自己工作最好的地方是拥有一群好同事， 但是只有在你给出细节之后才能打动面试官。这个答案很棒， 既夸了自己的团队， 也夸奖了自己。

　　回答示范4： The best aspect of my job? I think it’s the fast pace of it. I’m kept busy by my clients. You know I had two jobs, and compared with the first job, which was dead quiet, I like the second busy job so much better. It makes me feel much more satisfied with myself.

　　点评4： 用事实说明自己是喜欢繁忙工作的人， 善哉!

　　15. What were the worst aspects of your last job? 在上一份工作中， 你最讨厌的是什么地方?

　　问题分析： 这是一个比较棘手的一个问题， 说得虚伪了没有人相信， 说得太真实又唯恐令面试官反感。

　　回答示范1： The worst aspect of my current job is definitely lack of job security. My pay was delayed twice in the four months since I’ve worked there. I joined this company in hope of helping the boss to grow a small business into a bigger one. However, it proved a lot more difficult than I expected. The boss is very reluctant to invest in promotion. As a result, business has been rather slow.

　　点评1： 职位不稳定， 薪水不能保证， 这的确是份糟糕的工作。不过， 别忘记告诉面试官， 这可不是你的错儿。

　　回答示范2： I have to work six days a week in my current job. You know it’s against the Labor Law but it’s the normal practice in many factories in Dongguan. It would be quite alright for me to work on Saturday occasionally, but certainly not every Saturday.

　　点评2： 很真实的回答。如果是我， 早就从这个每周六都要上班的鬼单位辞职了。人权哪， 同志们， 尤其是珠三角一带的同志们， 让我们齐声高唱： 起来， 起来， 不愿意一周干六天的人们， 冒着老板冷冷的眼神， 辞职， 辞职， 辞职!

　　回答示范3： The worst part of my current job is that it’s too quiet. As it’s a branch liaison office it only has five people. And I don’t have enough workload. Sometimes I have little to do for the whole week! I really feel bored of working there. I’d like to have a busier job. You know, more responsibilities, more sense of achievement.

　　点评3： 因为工作太清闲而辞职， 这样的人儿谁不爱?No work, no future. 年轻的你就应该忙碌起来。

　　16. What were some of your achievements in your last job? 在上一份工作中， 你有哪些成就?

　　问题分析： 一个颠扑不破的面试哲学是： 在上一份工作中有成就的， 才有可能在新工作中有成就。在回答这个问题的时候， 一般要遵守一个原则： 用事实与数字说话。

　　回答示范1： I was named “Employee of the Year,” for the highest level of accuracy of all 18 bank tellers last year.

　　点评1： 一个言简意赅而又强大的回答： 既说出了所得到的奖励， 而且列出了获奖原因， 同时又告诉面试官自己在18人中是最佳的。

　　回答示范2： I increased sales approximately 100% in three years. Last year I personally sold 1.5 million Yuan worth of services and was ranked number 2 in the entire company among 14 sales reps.

　　点评2： 如果是做销售的同志， 只能用数字来说明自己的业绩。

　　回答示范3： I suggested to my boss that we should create a new type of customer satisfaction survey. This suggestion was applied later and effectively reduced customer complaints.

　　点评3： 对于没有得到过什么奖励的申请人， 一个比较好的办法就是告诉面试官， 自己的一个好建议被老板采纳， 取得了非常不错的效果。

　　17. What were some of the disappointments in your last job? 在上一份工作中， 你比较失望的地方或者失败是什么?

　　问题分析： 这个问题相当棘手。太真实可能会吓坏面试官， 太虚伪又没法令人相信。比较好的应对方式是， 给对方列举一些非致命的失败， 同时， 这些失败是由于自己所订立的目标比较高。

　　普通回答： Disappointments? There were some. I couldn’t get an A in the annual evaluation. I got B, which was not bad, but certainly not good enough.

　　点评： 这个回答太圆滑， 明显在利用“失败”夸自己向来高标准严要求。面试官最不喜欢这种自作聪明的人。

　　回答示范： I failed to achieve the sales target last year, I sold a million and a half but the target was two million. Our Beijing headquarters is having some problems and can’t provide effective pre-sales support for us. Failing to reach the target is a big disappointment for me.

　　点评： 一个很好的回答， 体现出了一个销售人员对完成任务的强烈的渴望， 同时也顺便带出了自己完不成任务的客观理由。

　　18. How would you evaluate the progress you made in your last job? 你如何来评价自己在上一份工作中的表现?

　　问题分析： 对于在上一份工作中表现平平的申请人， 这个问题简直如芒刺在背， 痛苦啊。但是， 哪怕面壁三天、 掘地三尺也要想出一两个你在上一份工作中的亮点， 否则， 只能在面试时芒刺在背了。

　　回答示范1： I am very proud of the progress I made in my last job. I joined the company as a new hand, but after only a year and a half, I was promoted to team leader. I could achieve such a rapid progress partly because my last job was in a small firm. If I can make the same progress in a large company like GE, I would be prouder.

　　点评1： 回答得非常好， 既吹嘘了自己的迅速成长， 也诚恳地指出自己是个羊群里的骆驼， 在小公司里才能获得如此快速的提升。

　　回答示范2： Well, I would give myself 70% if 100 means full satisfaction. I had some achievements in my last job. For example, I got 80-89% in the annual evaluation last year, which was 60%. The promotion program I organized on Wangfujing Road was highly successful and my client was very pleased. However, the results of several other programs were not quite satisfactory due to some reasons I couldn’t control. Actually that’s why I want to quit.
