对外企的英文面试应该按照以下步骤来进行准备

(1) 预测问题。这个环节不但能帮助你克服听力困难,而且能缓解你在面试时候的紧张情

绪。想象一下,如果总是Pardon, Excuse me,你怎么可能镇定自若?

(2) 书写答案。英语8级的牛人也会在英文面试时出现逻辑不清的情况,因为流利和井井有条绝对不是同义词。笔者的亲身体会是,越是英语流利的牛人,越容易在面试的时候废

话连篇,逻辑混乱。

(3) 背诵答案。背诵三遍以内是结巴,背诵十遍以内是流利的背诵,而背诵二三十遍以上

就不再是背诵,而是滔滔不绝的自由表达!

(4) 若有所思。面试的时候,在流利做答之前,别忘了做思索状,再加上个well,let me

see……

衡量一个回答是否精彩,只有一个标准:这个回答中,体现了申请人的什么特征?这些特征是优点还是缺点?如果是优点,是否刚好适合所申请职位的优点?

一、Personal Information 关于个人信息的问题

1. What’s the meaning of your English name? 你的英文名字有什么含义么?

问题分析:有些申请人的英文名字不合常规,比如叫King,或者Sushi,或者Monk等等。面试官询问这些申请人名字的含义,主要有几个目的:第一,缓解面试的紧张气氛;第二,面试官也有一点点好奇心;第三,给申请人一个展示自己独特个性的机会,因为敢于给自己起独特名字的人往往具有很独特的个性,这些人希望引起别人的注意。

普通回答:Actually, Sushi is my nickname. My friends gave me this name because I like to eat

the Japanese food sushi.

点评:这个回答体现出你是个什么样的人呢?在中国吃寿司价格不菲,如果吃寿司吃到了朋友给你起了“寿司”这个外号的地步,这个申请人一定不会是囊中羞涩的人。同志们想一下,我们在面试的时候,是把自己伪装成“艰苦朴素”,还是“锦衣玉食”呢?即使现如今寿司已经跌价到人尽可食的地步,你这个回答也只是在告诉面试官:嘿,我可是个好吃的人啊!比较一下以下的这个回答,你就知道哪个更胜一筹了。

回答示范1:As a matter of fact, Sushi is a nickname my friends gave me, because I like sushi and like to make sushi. I can make about ten different kinds of sushi! My friends say that my

personality is a bit like sushi, simple but good, hehe.

点评1:与刚才的回答相比,这个回答体现出你是个什么样的人呢?一个擅长制作寿司的女孩子一定是动手能力比较强的,而且喜欢做一些琐碎小事的人。同时,把寿司的优点引申成自己的个性优点:简单而美好,真是一个不错的比喻。

回答示范2:The name King may sound a bit aggressive, I hope it won’t make you feel uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, I chose the name King simply because it sounds like my Chinese name Jing. But, there is also a hidden meaning in it, that is, I wish to conquer diseases

like a King!

点评2:如果你给自己起了一个类似“国王”这样比较aggressive的名字,就得想好怎么样解释才能让面试官知道你并不是一个过分aggressive的人。这个回答体现了该申请人热爱自

己医生职业的特点。

回答示范3:My given name in Chinese is Meng, so I chose Monk to be my English name. I admire the spirit of monks, you know, abstinence and tolerance.

点评3:回答得妙呀,不仅仅真实,而且展现了自己的独特个性,告诉面试官自己身上

有和尚般的优秀品质:克制欲望、容忍。面试官只要不想嫁给你,就一定会喜欢这样的

回答。

2. What’s the meaning of your email address? 你的电子邮件地址有什么寓意么?

问题分析:当代青年男女个性张扬,所以连email地址也颇为独特。令笔者或迷惑或微笑的email 地址有很多,比如neverlazy, bighead, lazyfish, 52n52n, yulovehong等等。与上一个问题一样,善于交流的面试官往往乐于给你一个机会展示自己的个性。

较差回答:Lazyfish? Oh, I admire the goldfish for living an easy life. Compared to goldfish, human beings live a fast-paced life. So I chose this email address to make me feel a bit relaxed.

点评:个性倾向于过慵懒的生活,唉!

较差回答:52n52n? oh, it means “I love you, I love you,” because 5 sounds like “I” in Chinese, and 2 for “love”, n for “you”. I registered this address to please my girlfriend, hehe.

点评:公开示爱?啧啧,除了他的女朋友会觉得甜蜜蜜,别的人一律会露出特虚伪的笑

容或胃里泛酸。唉!

回答示范:Neverlazy? Oh, I want to encourage myself never to be lazy! You know I am a

hardworking person. So, it’s my slogan!

点评:在email地址中都要给自己励志的女子,一定是个超级工作狂,好呀!(这名女

子如愿进入了宝洁公司的CBD部门。)

3. Where are you from? Where is your hometown? 你是哪里人?家乡在什么地方?

问题分析:很多老外在中国工作居住多年,甚至自诩为中国通,他们可能会顺便问问你

是哪里人,拉近和你的距离。

回答示范1:I was born and raised in the city of Wuhan. As far as I know, our company has a branch office near Hanzheng Street, and it’s quite a big office.

点评1:这个回答说出了该公司在武汉的地址,展示了一下自己提前所做的功课。

回答示范2:Well, my hometown is a small town which you probably have never heard of. The name of the town is Dehui, which means “good moral” in Chinese. The town is located in the middle of China’s Northeast. When you look at the map, it looks like the eye of the rooster. You know, China looks like a rooster on the map, and the Northeast region looks just like the head of the rooster. My hometown “Good Moral Town” is unknown to most people because it’s quite poor.

The average income for a family is less than one thousand RMB per month.

点评2:绝妙的回答!一方面生动地告诉外国面试官,你的家乡是东北这个鸡头上眼睛部位的一个小县城,另一方面,让他知道你家乡的人们平均一个月才不到1,000元的收入,令日入斗金的老外颇为欷觑。让他欷觑了,你就被记住了。被记住,是被录取的前提。

二、Education 关于教育背景的问题

4. Why did you select your major area of study? 你为什么选择了这个专业?

问题分析:外国面试官更喜欢提“为什么”的问题,他希望申请人是一个有主见的人。回答示范1:I was quite good at mathematics and physics back in high school so I chose a related major, Telecommunications. I also applied for the major of computer science. You know, these two

majors are the hottest these years.

点评1:实话实说。

回答示范2:As a matter of f act, I didn’t select the major of Geography Education at all, because

I have never wanted to be a teacher. I had chosen Business Administration, Economics and
