英语面试技巧大全
Hi, I am Cindy and I am the HR manager for an international publishing company and we employ people in lots of different roles and in variant kinds of contracts, so full-time, part-time, hourly-paid, a lot of different kinds of roles but also contract types that we deal with.你好,我是辛迪,是一间国际出版公司的人资经理,我们手下有许多不同的职位,不同种类的合同制度,比如全职、兼职、时薪,工种与薪酬制度选择都相当灵活。
1 Q: 能否告诉我们哪位应聘者给您留下深刻的印象?为什么?
Right...erm... it has to be a young woman that we interviewed recently. And she had all the usual academic qualifications which you have to do to even get through the selection process. But something that really shone for her in the interview was that whenever she talked to answer a question, she gave us a very concrete example of something that she had done. And this allow us to really understand how she would tackle a project, what kind of things she'd do, how she'd involve other people. So this approach of being very specific with examples really... erm... made her sort of experience in her skill come alive. Even though she wasn't actually very experienced, she was able to talk about it really really well.
应该是最近我们面试过的一名年轻女性。她的学历够格,就是那种比较常见的可以通过初次筛选的那种学历。但她在面试过程中展现出了独特的闪光点,那就是无论她什么时候回答问题,她都会给出她做过的非常具体的例子。这能够使我们知道她会如何处理一个项目,她能够做什么样的事,以及她和别人的关系。所以这种给出具体事例的做法能让我们非常清楚且生动地了解到她的技能。即使她并不是特别有经验,但她能够正确把握面试方法,这很好。
2 Q: 您能否给我们举一个应聘者搞砸了面试的例子?他应该怎么做?
Right... em.... I think something that comes across when you asked a question and you don't actually have the experience in that area to say "yes I can do that"... erm... I am thinking of a young guy recently who tried to bluff his way through the question and to claim that he could do something that clearly he had never done. As soon as people start to talk about things when we ask specific questions... if you are telling a lie, it is obvious to the people interviewing you. So I think he would have been much better off to say "actually I've never done that, but I have done this" and to be honest than to try and bluff his way through answering the question. You... you don't go into every job interview having done everything before. You're usually going for a job that's gonna stretch you and take you to the next level. And that's perfectly acceptable.
当你被问到一个问题、但是你确实在这个领域没什么经验,所以你不能肯定地说“对,我能做”,这种事情的确发生过。我想起最近一个年轻人,他想唬弄过去,就声称他能做到,但事实上看得出来他根本没做过这件事。只要我们开始问比较具体的问题,应聘者就会相应地讨论到细节,所以如果你在撒谎,面试官可以轻易地看出来。所以我认为如果他说“实际上我从来没做过那件事,但我做过这件事”,并且在面试之中诚实坦然,而非随意乱说的话,他的结果会好得多。你在面试时,并不是说一定会在此之前做过所有的事。通常你面试的职位都会让你接触到一些前所未见的内容、将你带入更高的水平。所以就算没做过也是完全可以的。
