If you are more persistent than others, you will create miracles.整合汇编简单易用（WORD文档/A4打印/可编辑/页眉可删）二副英文面试问题和答案1、”What are your goals for the future?” or “Where do you see yourself in five years?”Don’t discuss your goals for returning to school or having a family, they are not relevant and could knock you out of contention for the job. Rather, you want to connect your answer to the job you are applying for.最佳答案：-My long-term goals involve growing with a company where I can continue to learn, take on additional responsibilities, and contribute as much of value as I can.-I see myself as a top performing employee in awell-established organization, like this one. I plan on enhancing my skills and continuing my involvement in (related) professional associations.-Once I gain additional experience, I would like to move on from a technical position to management.-In the XYZ Corporation, what is a typical career path for someone with my skills and experiences?2、Tell me about yourself/ How would you describe yourself?You walk into the interview room, shake hands with your interviewer and sit down with your best interviewing smile on. Guess what their first question is? “Tell me about yourself.” Your interviewer is not looking for a 10-minute dissertation here. Instead, offer a razor sharp sentence or two that sets the stage for further discussion and sets you apart from your competitors.Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)说出你的卖点Give them “your synopsis about you” answer, specifically your Unique Selling Proposition. Known as a personal branding or a value-added statement, the USP is a succinct, one-sentence description of who you are, your biggest strength and the major benefit that a company will derive from this strength. Here is an example of a Unique Selling Proposition: “I’m a seasoned Retail Manager strong in developing training programs and loss prevention techniques that have resulted in revenue savings of over$2.3Million for (employer’s name) during the past 11 years.”What a difference you’ve made with this statement. Your interviewer is now sitting forward in her chair giving you her full attention. At this point, you might add the following sentence: “I’d like to discuss how I might be able to do something like that for you.” The ball is now back in her court and you have the beginnings of a real discussion and not an interrogation process.“My background to date has been centered around preparing myself to become the very best financial consultant I can become. Let me tell you specifically how I’ve prepared myself. I am an undergraduate student in finance and accounting at _________ University. My past experiences has been in retail and higher education. Both aspects have prepared me well for this career.”首先要明确他们想了解的是哪方面的内容Do they want to know about your career so far, about your hobbies or family life? If in doubt, ASK them to clarify what they wish you to talk about. Then give a short factual answer, ending with “is there anything else you’d like to know about me?”How would you describe yourself?这个问题的答案应该是和他们的'招聘广告上对于雇员的要求的基本一致，所以，看看你有哪些特质满足了他们的要求吧。

二副英文面试问题和答案二副英文面试问题和答案1、”What are your goals for the future?”or “Where do you see yourself in five years?”Don’t discuss your goals for returning to school or having a family, they are not relevant and could knock you out of contention for the job. Rather, you want to connect your answer to the job you are applying for.最佳答案：-My long-term goals involve growing with a company where I can continue to learn, take on additional responsibilities, and contribute as much of value as I can.-I see myself as a top performing employee in a well-established organization, like this one. I plan on enhancing my skills and continuing my involvement in (related) professional associations.-Once I gain additional experience, I would like to move on from a technical position to management.-In the XYZ Corporation, what is a typical career path for someone with my skills and experiences?2、Tell me about yourself/ How would you describe yourself? You walk into the interview room, shake hands with your interviewer and sit down with your best interviewing smile on.Guess what their first question is? “Tell me about yourself.”Your interviewer is not looking for a 10-minute dissertation here. Instead, offer a razor sharp sentence or two that sets the stage for further discussion and sets you apart from your competitors.Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)说出你的卖点Give them “your synopsis about you”answer, specifically your Unique Selling Proposition. Known as a personal branding or a value-added statement, the USP is a succinct, one-sentence description of who you are, your biggest strength and the major benefit that a company will derive from this strength. Here is an example of a Unique Selling Proposition: “I’m a seasoned Retail Manager strong in developing training programs and loss prevention techniques that have resulted in revenue savings of over $2.3Million for (employer’s name) during the past 11 years.”What a difference you’ve made with this statement. Your interviewer is now sitting forward in her chair giving you her full attention. At this point, you might add the following sentence: “I’d like to discuss how I might be able to do something like that for you.”The ball is now back in her court and you have the beginnings of a real discussion and not an interrogation process.“My background to date has been centered around preparing myself to become the very best financial consultant I can become.Let me tell you specifically how I’ve prepared myself. I am an undergraduate student in finance and accounting at _________ University. My past experiences has been in retail and higher education. Both aspects have prepared me well for this career.”首先要明确他们想了解的是哪方面的内容Do they want to know about your career so far, about your hobbies or family life? If in doubt, ASK them to clarify what they wish you to talk about.

However, it is very hard for a vessel just to take the circle line or rhomb line.13. during cargo loading, if you find cargo damages in holds, what should you do?I should record them in writing or even photograph the damages and reportthe situations to the chief officer immediately. The chief officer should report it to the tallyman and ask them to replace the cargo, if possible. At the same time, the officer on duty should make the on-the-spot record.If the damages are realy very serous, we should report to the master and ask for his instructions.14. when you usually do the chart work? When you are keeping watch, can you do thechart work?Whenever I receive the notice to mariner, I will do the correction and drawing as soon as possible.Generally, I should not do the chart work when am keeping watch. Doing chart work during watch keeping can give rise to some potential danger to the maneuvering of the vessel.15. what is the maximum blood alcohol concentraition (BAC) rate on board?According to the STCW code, the BAC shall not be more than % by weight at any time when being tested. Watch-keepers are not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverage 4 hours before their watch.

This is very important to the manuvering of thevessel. Accidents often arise because of the officers’ complete dependence on the RADAR,ARPAR, GPS and other equipment, especially in hazardous areas, such as the coast and port areas, low visibility area, restricted areas and heavy weather regions. All in all, the rules and regulation of the COLREG 1972 must be strictly obeyed.19. what do you know about EC and ECDIS ?EC means electrionic chart, and ECDIS means electronic chart and information system. This system usees the computer technology to provide chart details ona visual display unit, combined with an automatic indication of ship’s position,and possibly a radar image, and a navigation aide. This kind of chart needs basic computer operation skills and automation knowledge.20. can you tell me the main contents of a typical admiralty notice to mariner?How did you get the notice to mariner on your last vessel?The admiralty notice to mariners is a maritime publication issued by the hydrographic department of the united kingdom.

Section four, corrections to admiralty sailing directions. Section five, corrections to admiralty list of radio signals.On my last ship, the ship owner provided us with the notice to mariners in every major port. If they failed to give us the notice, we’ll s end them a request for this.21.it is very important to get rid of the outated charts and other SMS documentson board. Why?It is very important to keep the latest revised charts(also some other ISM documents on board)in the deck and engine room, and keep away those out – of – dated charts because after a period of time, you will not be able to know what documents are the newest ones. The mixture of the old and new documents on board can easily give rise to some problems for the safety of he vessel. So it is very important to do away with the obsoletedocuments as soon as possible.22.how do you maintain the clocks?I am responsible for the vessel clocks except for those in the engine room.Before getting underway, clocks shall be compared and synchronized, and the synchronization record shall be entered into the deck logbook.23.under what situations do you call the engine room when you are on duty?(1)whenever it is necessary to make sure that engine room and bridge clocksare synchronized;(2)at least one hour before starting or ending a sea passage;(3)as soon as it appears that engine operation maneuvers may be required, withone hour’s notice if possible;(4)whenever the ship machinery operation may be affected by weather or othercondition changes, such as shallow water approach, concentration of marinelifeor seaweed, ice in water, or change of trim or draft due to ballastingshifting;(5)one hour before inert gas system operation is required (for tanker);(6)one hour before steam is required on deck;(7)whenever the temperature falls to 2 degree centigrade to provent damage toequipment;(8)at least one hour before the standby generator is required;(9)whenever the gargo pumps are used;(10)one hour prior to getting underway.24.what should you do first after you join a vessel?Firstly, I shall familiarize myself with the familiarization booklet, the must lists and emergency card in my cabin.

If the master cannot help,I may ask for help from the vessels sailing in the same area. Anyway, I willtry to solve the problem before the vessel sails to the port.28.what is safety speed during sailing? What factors should you consider in decidingthe speed of a vessel during sailing in the sea?The safe speed is the speed at which the vessel can take proper and effective actions to be stopped in a safe distance. The following factors should be taken into account to achieve safe speed: visibility, number of ships in the area, the ship’s maneuverability, wind force, sea tide and and current, background lights, draught and available depth of water, proximity of navigational hadards, standart and operation of technical equipment on board, ice conditon and so on.29.when navigation in a crossing situation, as master or duty officer, whatanti-collision measures should be taken?

At the same time, provide no further incidents occur, hoist the signals for a vessel not under command.At the same time, inform the engine room and determine the time necessary for repairs, if possible, so that the necessary preparations can be made on the bridge.36.when is great circle sailing most advantageous? Please explain briefly.Thye shortest distance between two meridians is the arc of the great circle contained between these two poits. The advantages of using the great circle sailing are most obvious in high latitudes, where there is a large difference of longitude between the points of departure and destination.37.how do you do the chart work?The chart work must be so detailed that the master or relieving officer can easily and quikly find out the ship’s last known position and from that they can determine its present position. Detailed chart work includes course line, DR position marked with time and distance, observed position with time and distance plus the position fixing method.Special notes like when the master should be informed and when to slow down, etc. are also needed in some dangerous areas.38.if a man is overboard, what actions should you take immediately?I should throw him a lifebuoy and follow the emergency procedure.
