英文面试相关问题对应

1. So, tell me a little about yourself.
You don’t need to explain everything from birth to present day.Relevant facts about education, your career and your current lifesituation are fine.

2. Why are you looking (or why did you leave you lastjob)?
This should be a straightforward question to answer, but it cantrip you up. Presumably you are looking for a new job (or any job)because you want to advance your career and get a position thatallows you to grow as a person and an employee. It’s not a goodidea to mention money here, it can make you sound mercenary. And ifyou are in the unfortunate situation of having been downsized, staypositive and be a***rief as pos***le about it. If you were fired,you’ll need a good explanation. But once again, staypositive.

3. Tell me what you know about this company.
Do your homework before you go to any interview. Whether it’***eingthe VP of marketing or the mailroom clerk, you should know aboutthe company or business you’re going to work for. Has this companybeen in the news lately? Who are the people in the company youshould know about? Do the background work, it will make you standout as someone who comes prepared, and is genuinely interested inthe company and the job.

4. Why do you want to work at X Company?
This should be directly related to the last question. Any researchyou’ve done on the company should have led you to the conclusionthat you’d want to work there. After all, you’re at the interview,right? Put some thought into this answer before you have yourinterview, mention your career goals and highlight forward-thinkinggoals and career plans.

5. What relevant experience do you have?
Hopefully if you’re applying for this position you have bags ofrelated experience, and if that’s the case you should mention itall. But if you’re switching careers or trying something a littledifferent, your experience may initially not look like it’smatching up. That’s when you need a little honest creativity tomatch the experiences required with the ones you have. Peopleskills are people skills after all, you just need to show howcustomer service skills can apply to internal management positions,and so on.

6. If your previous co-workers were here, what would theysay about you?
Ok, this is not the time for full disclosure. If some people fromyour past are going to say you’re a boring A-hole, you don’t needto bring that up. Stay positive, always, and maybe have a fewspecific quotes in mind. “They’d say I was a hard worker” or evenbetter “John Doe has always said I was the most reliable, creativeproblem-solver he’d ever met.”

7. Have you done anything to further yourexperience?
This could include anything from night classes to hobbies andsports. If it’s related, it’s worth mentioning. Obviously anythingto do with further education is great, but maybe you’re spendingtime on a home improvement project to work on skills such asself-sufficiency, time management and motivation.

8. Where else have you applied?
This is a good way to hint that you’re in demand, without soundinglike you’re whoring yourself all over town. So, be honest andmention a few other companie***ut don’t go into detail. The factthat you’re seriously looking and keeping your options open is whatthe interviewer is driving at.

9. How are you when you’re working underpressure?
Once again, there are a few ways to answer thi***ut they should allbe positive. You may work well under pressure, you may thrive underpressure, and you may actually PREFER working under pressure. Ifyou say you crumble like aged blue cheese, this is not going tohelp you get your foot in the door.

10. What motivates you to do a good job?
The answer to this one is not money, even if it is. You should bemotivated by life’s noble pursuits. You want recognition for a jobwell done. You want to become better at your job. You want to helpothers or be a leader in your field.

11. What’s your greatest strength?
This isyour chance to shine. You’re being asked to explain why you are agreat employee, so don’t hold back and stay do stay positive. Youcould be someone who thrives under pressure, a great motivator, anamazing problem solver or someone with extraordinary attention todetail. If your greatest strength, however, is to drink anyoneunder the table or get a top score on Mario Kart, keep it toyourself. The interviewer is looking for work-relatedstrengths.

12. What’s your biggest weakness?
If you’re completely honest, you may be kicking yourself in thebutt. If you say you don’t have one, you’re obviously lying. Thisis a horrible question and one that politicians have become mastersat answering. They say things like “I’m perhaps too committed to mywork and don’t spend enough time with my family.” Oh, there’s afireable offense. I’ve even heard “I think I’m too good at my job,it can often make people jealous.” Please, let’s keep our feet onthe ground. If you’re asked this question, give a small,work-related flaw that you’re working hard to improve. Example:“I’ve been told I occasionally focus on details and miss the biggerpicture, so I’ve been spending time laying out the complete projectevery day to see my overall progress.”

13. Let’s talk about salary. What are you lookingfor?
Run for cover! This is one tricky game to play in an interview.Even if you know the salary range for the job, if you answer firstyou’re already showing all your cards. You want as much aspos***le, the employer wants you for as little as you’re willing totake. Before you apply, take a look at salary.com for a good ideaof what someone with your specific experience should be paid. Youmay want to say, “well, that’s something I’ve thought long and hardabout and I think someone with my experience should get between X& Y.” Or, you could be sly and say, “right now, I’mmore interested in talking more about what the position can offermy career.” That could at least buy you a little time to scope outthe situation. But if you do have a specific figure in mind and youare confident that you can get it, I’d say go for it. I have onmany occasions, and every time I got very close to that figure(both below and sometimes above).

14. Are you good at working in a team?
Unless you have the I.Q. of a houseplant, you’ll always answer YESto this one. It’s the only answer. How can anyone function insidean organization if they are a loner? You may want to mention whatpart you like to play in a team though; it’s a great chance toexplain that you’re a natural leader.

15. Tell me a suggestion you have made that wasimplemented.
It’s important here to focus on the word “implemented.” There’snothing wrong with having a thousand great ideas, but if the onlyplace they live is on your notepad what’s the point? Better still,you need a good ending. If your previous company took your adviceand ended up going bankrupt, that’s not such a great exampleeither. Be prepared with a story about an idea of yours that wastaken from idea to implementation, and consideredsuccessful.

16. Has anything ever irritated you about people you’veworked with?
Of course, you have a list as long as your arm. But you can’t saythat, it shows you a***eing negative and difficult to work with.The best way to answer this one is to think for a while and thensay something like “I’ve always got on just fine with my co-workersactually.”

Use this question as a chance to show that you are a team player:“The only people I have trouble with are those who aren’t teamplayers, who just don’t perform, who complain constantly, and whofail to respond to any efforts to motivate them.” The intervieweris expecting a response focused on personality and personaldislikes. Surprise her by delivering an answer that reflectscompany values

17. Is there anyone you just could not workwith?
No. Well, unless you’re talking about murderers, racists, rapists,thieves or other dastardly characters, you can work with anyone.Otherwise you could be flagged as someone who’s picky and difficultif you say, “I can’t work with anyone who’s a Bronco’s fan.Sorry.”

18. Tell me about any issues you’ve had with apreviou***oss.
Arrgh! If you fall for this one youshouldn’t be hired anyway. The interviewer is testing you to see ifyou’ll speak badly about your previous supervisor. Simply answerthis question with exteme tact, diplomacy and if necessary, a bigfat loss of memory. In short, you’ve never had any issues.

The answer to 18 is completely wrong. I am a director at a majormedia company’s interactive division. Our company is expanding andI am almost in a constant state of hiring. I ask a variation ofthis question in every single interview and if a candidate hasnever had one issue or disagreement with anyone, (I stated avariation: I ask if it has happened with anyone in the workplace) Ipeg them as a liar and reject them immediately.

I went well with my previou***oss. If there is an conflict, I willbe open mind and talk about facts. once decision is made, I executeit well.

19. Would you rather work for money or jobsatisfaction?
It’s not a very fair question is it?We’d all love to get paid a Trump-like salary doing a job we lovebut that’s rare indeed. It’s fine to say money is important, butremember that NOTHING is more important to you than the job.Otherwise, you’re just someone looking for a bigger paycheck.

20. Would you rather be liked or feared?
I have been asked this a lot, in various incarnations. The firsttime I just drew a blank and said, “I don’t know.” That went overbadly, but it was right at the start of my career when I had littleto no experience. Since then I’ve realized that my genuine answeris “Neither, I’d rather be respected.” You don’t want to be fearedbecause fear is no way to motivate a team. You may got the job donebut at what cost? Similarly, if you’re everyone’***est friendyou’ll find it difficult to make tough decisions or hit deadlines.But when you’re respected, you don’t have to be a complete bastardor a lame duck to get the job done.

21. Are you willing to put the interests of X Company aheadof your own?
Again, another nasty question. If you say yes, you’re a corporatewhore who doesn’t care about family. If you say no, you’re disloyalto the company. I’m afraid that you’ll probably have to say yes tothis one though, because you’re trying to be the perfect employeeat this point, and perfect employees don’t cut out early forJimmy’***a***all game.

it is situational. if you… ; if you …. Ethics andprofessionalism

22. So, explain why I should hire you.
As I’m sure you know, “because I’m great” or “I really need a job”are not good answers here. This is a time to give the employer alaundry list of your greatest talents that just so happen to matchthe job de script ion. It’s also good to avoid taking potshots atother potential candidates here. Focus on yourself and yourtalents, not other people’s flaws.

23. Finally, do you have any questions to askme?
I’ll finish the way I started, with one of the most commonquestions asked in interviews. This directly relates to theresearch you’ve done on the company and also gives you a chance toshow how eager and prepared you are. You’ll probably want to askabout benefits if they haven’t been covered already. A good genericone is “how soon could I start, if I were offered the job ofcourse.” You may also ask what you’d be working on. Specifically,in the role you’re applying for and how that affects the rest ofthe company. Always have questions ready, greeting this one with ablank stare is a rotten way to finish your interview. Good luck andhappy job hunting.

ponder for a moment, and then ask your interviewer “what aspect ofyour job do you find most challenging”.

I would ask the interviewer, “Why do you like to work here?”

24. Where do you want to be in 5 to years?

They dont want to hear in the same j
