2023年外企面试最常见的英文问题及答案参考.docx

2023外企面试最常见的英文问题及答案参考 对外企的英文面试应当根据以下步骤来进展预备： (1) 猜测问题。这个环节不但能帮忙你克制听力困难， 而且能缓解你在面试时候的紧急心情。想象一下， 假如总是Pardon, Excuse me， 你怎么可能镇静自若? (2) 书写答案。英语8级的牛人也会在英文面试时消失规律不清的状况， 由于流利和井井有条肯定不是同义词。笔者的亲身体会是， 越是英语流利的牛人， 越简单在面试的时候废话连篇， 规律混乱。 (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， 别忘了做思考状， 再加上个well， let me see 衡量一个答复是否精彩， 只有一个标准： 这个答复中， 表达了申请人的什么特征?这些特征是优点还是缺点?假如是优点， 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. Whats 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， 比方叫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， 缓解面试的紧急气氛; 其次， 面试官也有一点点奇怪心; 第三， 给申请人一个展现自己独特共性的时机， 由于敢于给自己起独特名字的人往往具有很独特的共性， 这些人盼望引起别人的留意。 一般答复： Actually, Sushi is my nickname. My friends gave me this name because I like to eat the Japanese food sushi. 点评： 这个答复表达出你是个什么样的人呢?在中国吃寿司价格不菲， 假如吃寿司吃到了朋友给你起了“寿司”这个外号的地步， 这个申请人肯定不会是囊中羞怯的人。同志们想一下， 我们在面试的时候， 是把自己伪装成“艰难朴实”， 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， 你这个答复也只是在告知面试官： 嘿， 我可是个好吃的人啊!比拟一下以下的这个答复， 你就知道哪个更胜一筹了。 答复示范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： 与刚刚的答复相比， 这个答复表达出你是个什么样的人呢?一个擅长制作寿司的女孩子肯定是动手力量比拟强的， 而且喜爱做一些琐碎小事的人。同时， 把寿司的优点引申成自己的共性优点： 简洁而美妙， 真是一个不错的比方。 答复示范2： The name King may sound a bit aggressive, I hope it wont 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： 假如你给自己起了一个类似“国王”这样比拟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。这个答复表达了该申请人喜爱自己医生职业的特点。 答复示范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： 答复得妙呀， 不仅仅真实， 而且呈现了自己的独特共性， 告知面试官自己身上有和尚般的优秀品质： 抑制欲望、 容忍。面试官只要不想嫁给你， 就肯定会喜爱这样的答复。 2. Whats the meaning of your email address? 你的电子邮件地址有什么寓意么? 问题分析： 当代青年男女共性张扬， 所以连email地址也颇为独特。令笔者或迷惑或微笑的email 地址有许多， 比方neverlazy, bighead, lazyfish, 52n52n, yulovehong等等。与上一个问题一样， 擅长沟通的面试官往往乐于给你一个时机展现自己的共性。 较差答复： 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： 共性倾向于过慵懒的生活， 唉! 较差答复： 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美蜜， 别的人一律会露出特虚伪的笑容或胃里泛酸。唉! 答复示范： Neverlazy? Oh, I want to encourage myself never to be lazy! You know I am a hardworking person. So, its my slogan! 点评： 在email地址中都要给自己励志的女子， 肯定是个超级工作狂， 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： 许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。 答复示范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 its quite a big office. 点评1： 这个答复说出了该公司在武汉的地址， 展现了一下自己提前所做的功课。 答复示范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 Chinas 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 its quite poor. The average income for a family is less than one thousand RMB per month. 点评2： 绝妙的答复!一方面生动地告知外国面试官， 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， 是被录用的前提。 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： 外国面试官更喜爱提“为什么”的问题， 他盼望申请人是一个有主见的人。 答复示范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。 答复示范2： As a matter of fact, I didnt select the major of Geography Education at all, because I have never wanted to be a teacher. I had chosen Business Administration, Economics and Logistics Management when I applied to Zhongshan University, but unfortunately I failed to get into these hottest majors. The score I got on the College Entrance Examination was about ten points less than the minimum requirement. The school allocated me to a cold major, Geography Education, hehe. Luckily, I could select a second focus. I chose Public Relations Management to be my minor area of study. What was that saying? “When God closes the door, he opens a window.” Hehe. 点评2： 这个答复好像很长， 但是却不得不这么长。这是一个典型的中国特色， 假如你的分数够不上第一志愿， 学校就把你打入某一个“冷宫”专业去， 而你为了进入这所一流的大学不得不屈服。这种怪现象制造出许多感觉自己比窦娥还冤的“冤男怨女”， 学着“地理教育”却痛恨从事教师职业， 学着“国际政治”却连国际新闻都懒得看!这个答复的优点在于： 第一， 向外国面试官普及了一下中国特色; 其次， 强调了自己对商业和治理一贯的热诚; 第三， 告知对方其实自己高考只差10分才没进去最热门的专业; 第四， 自己是个不轻言放弃的人， 主修学不成用辅修来弥补; 第五， 把上帝拉进来， 显出你的幽默。 答复示范3： I selected Business English as I was quite good at English back in high school. Apart from this, my high school teachers recommended that I select a major related to business, since I showed some good qualities for business management at a young age. So, I chose this major, business plus English, two in one, hehe. 点评3： 这个答复强调了自己的两大优点： 第一， 英语好; 其次， 早在高中就已经是教师心目中适合从商的人。自夸而不着痕迹， 实在是高哇! 5. What subjects were your favorite? Why? 你最喜爱的课程是什么， 为什么? 问题分析： 与中国面试官一样， 对于应届毕业生， 外国面试官常常问问有关学业方面的”问题。面试官喜爱的申请人， 是对自己专业的优缺点分析得头头是道的人。 答复示范1： I liked Marketing Principles and Sales Management because the two courses provided us with the most up-to-date information on marketing and sales, including the origin and development of some famous brands, Pepsi, Nestle, and the local brands, Lining, Wang-lao-ji and so on. I felt that I already stepped into the business world when studying these courses. They were fantastic! 点评1： 喜爱的专业和自己申请的职业有严密关联， 而且提到知名品牌的名字， 很简单使人产生共鸣。 答复示范2： I like the subjects that include lots of experiments, for example, CAD and Circuit Design. I found that I can learn more quickly by doing experiments than only studying the theories. I guess its partly because I am good with my hands, and doing experiments gives me a chance to learn in a creative way. 点评2： 利用课程说到自己“擅长动手”和“有制造力”的优点， 不错。 答复示范3： My favorite courses are mostly in my minor area of study, Public Relations, as my major Geography Education is not really my interest. I like the courses of PR Crisis, Corporate Image and Media Relations not only because their content is interesting and useful, but also because they are taught in a very interactive way. Most teachers have an overseas MBA degree so they taught us as MBA students. Its really cool, you know, we usually did the case studies on our own first, and then presented our opinions in front of the whole class. I loved those subjects! 点评： 确实有许多同学并不喜爱自己的主修课程， 那么， 请像这位同学一样， 告知面试官你真正的兴趣在哪里。 6. What subjects were your least favorite? Why? 你最不喜爱的课程是什么?为什么? 问题分析： 外国面试官往往更加辨证， 在问完胜利经受后肯定要追问失败经受， 问完喜爱什么科目之后也要问问不喜爱什么科目。 答复示范1： My least favorite courses include Marxism and Revolutionary History of China. I dont like these subjects not because I am not a patriotactually I love my country and I am fascinated by its revolutionary history. However, these subjects turned out to be disappointments as the textbooks and the ways they were taught were nothing but a repetition of the history subjects in our secondary school. 点评1： 在和老外面试的时候， 要留意文化差异， 他可能很难理解中国学生为什么不喜爱学“马哲”和“中国革命史”， 所以你需要解释一下， 这并非是我们不爱国， 而是这两门课程几十年如一日的老面孔， 学生在高中就已经学过， 教师也不情愿对教学法进展创新。 答复示范2： I found Macroeconomics and Microeconomics disappointing as well, for the reason that their information fell behind the times. For example, the exchange rate between RMB and USD stilled remained 8.3 : 1 in the text! You can imagine how disappointed we were. So I spent more time listening to the lectures on economics organized by the Student Union. 点评2： 这个答案相比而言更好一些， 由于它表达出了申请人对学问的渴望， 以及在课堂上得不到学问时如何去自我进修。 7. Other than the courses you studied, what is the most important thing you learned from your college experience? 除了学习方面， 你在大学里面最大的收获是什么? 问题分析： 外国面试官的思维往往特别直接， 他坚持认为， 只有在大学里面有巨大收获的人， 才能在工作岗位上取得巨大收获。所以说， 千万不要天真地说： 我在大学里学会了自理， 学会了安排自己的生活!晕， 这是baby的成就， 肯定不能拿到大学里面来说了! 答复示范1： Well, I think the most important thing I have learnt in university is how to set appropriate goals and see them through. You know it is so easy for university students to waste time if they dont set goals, so I set demanding goals to motivate myself. One is that I decided to get scholarships each year, the other one is that I decided to be the leader of a club on campus. Neither was easy, but in more than three years, I managed to achieve both. (点评： 面试官肯定会追问你是怎么实现两个目标的。) Getting scholarship wasnt quite difficult for me. Running for Presidency of a club, however, was more difficult than I expected as there was so much competition. To achieve the goal I changed my strategy. I transferred from the Student Union to a newly-founded union. And within 6 months, I acquired more than 20 members and organized a few eye-catching activities. As a result, I became the leader of that club. I think Ive learnt not only to set a demanding goal, but also how to overcome all the difficulties to achieve it. 点评1： 这是一个很美丽的答复， 表达了自己的优点： 既能够给自己设立比拟高的目标， 也擅长克制困难， 实现自己的目标。面试官最喜爱的人选， 就是这种“目标导向型”的申请人。 答复示范2： My biggest achievement in my college life, I think, is that I have learnt to make choices. You know, there are various activities and part time jobs on campus, each sounds attractive. Ive carefully chosen some of them which can help to achieve my long term career goal. I have said “no” to lots of invitations, like the dancing contests each year. I only participated in one of them and decided that rehearsals occupy too much time. In my opinion, nothing is more important than making the right choice. 点评2： 这个答复符合我们一贯强调的“共性化”和“夸赞自己”两个原则。 8. How did you finance your college education? 你大学的费用是怎么样支付的?(家里供还是自己打工?) 问题分析： 很明显， 和中国面试官相比， 老外更加青睐在大学就有赚钱力量的候选人， 并坚持认为他们的独立性和力量比完全依靠父母的候选人要强得多。 答复示范： So far, my tuition and living expense are around 40,000 RMB. My parents offer two thirds of it and I pay the rest of it. I have been granted scholarship three times, making 5,000 RMB in total. Teaching and other part-time jobs made another 5,000. 点评： 很真实的答复， 同时也表达了自己的学习成绩好和社团活动很积极的优点。 三、 Experience 关于工作阅历的问题 9. Would you briefly describe this company to me? 介绍一下你的原单位， 好吗? 问题分析： 当老外提出这个问题的时候， 他心里的疑问是： “这个公司我从来没有听说过， 是否是个名不见经传的小公司?”所以， 在向老外介绍自己工作单位的时候， 要着重强调公司的优点， 规模大的强调规模， 人数多的强调人数。假如你所在的公司业务总量很小， 你可以告知面试官， 业务总量不大但是平均到每个员工的业务量却相当惊人! 答复示范： “广盛发”， the name means “a big, prosperous company”, hehe, although its not really a very big company. But, its true that the company is quite prosperous. It specializes in exporting womens shoes. With only 10 employees so far the turnover last year was up to 15,000,000 RMB. I am one of the three customer service officers, with the responsibility of order taking, tracking and general customer service roles. Due to the limited number of staff, we all work more than 10 hours a day, 7 days a week in busy season. 点评： 很明显， 这个答复既表达了自己原来的公司的规模， 也示意了自己能够适应繁忙工作的特点。 10. Would you describe your typical working day? 请你描述一下自己典型的一天的工作吧。 问题分析： 在这个问题上， 面试官盼望捕获到的信息点是： 第一， 这个家伙原来干的工作和我们现在这份工作究竟有多少是类似的?其次， 他在原来工作单位表现究竟怎么样?所以， 在描述自己的工作内容时， 要留意突出两个信息点： 第一， 用事实突出自己繁忙并且业绩不错的优点; 其次， 要着意强调一下和所申请工作类似的内容。 答复示范： Yes. I would arrive at office half an hour earlier as my boss often gives me a lot of work once he comes in, and I have to be ready for it. My responsibilities are mainly to assist the sales manager and representatives with order tracking, stock reporting, document preparation and translation, using Excel, Word and PowerPoint. When the reps are on a business trip, I will deal with their share. Two thirds of my work involves computers, working on tables and forms precisely and quickly. The rest of time is to take care of the managers and reps, you know, do what they need me to. 点评： 用事实说明自己是个敬业的人。在描述工作内容的时候， 有细节性描述， 也有总结性描述， 特别清楚。 11. Why do you want to leave your job? 你为什么要离职? 答复示范1： To be honest, the reason I quit is that I am not pleased by my current job. My current work is in a vocational high school. Maybe I have to explain a bit more here. In China, vocational high schools are designed for the less-advanced students or the ones wanting work instead of going to university to further their education. As a result, the social status and the pay in vocational high schools are not at all satisfactory. I can never become a professor in this school. So, although teaching makes me happy, I have to leave this job because I cant have long-term career development here. 点评1： 相当一局部申请人辞职的缘由都是为了“长远的职业进展”， 由于在目前的工作中“看不到前途和将来”或者“缺乏挑战和创新”。这些其实都是合理的理由， 但是， 务必要把看不到前途和将来的缘由解释清晰， 要让面试官知道， 没有前途不是你个人力量缺乏所致， 而的确是客观因素使然。此外， 在涉及中国特别现象的时候， 比方职业高中教育， 比方中等专科学校教育等等， 要把详细的状况解释清晰， 否则， 老外肯定不会了解中专教师为什么不像大学教师那么爽。 答复示范2： Mainly for the higher pay. I have been serving as an accountant for this joint venture for nearly 3 years and my salary increased from 1,800 to 2,300, a fair raise actually. In the last two performance evaluations, I got two Bs in a row. I can earn 3,000 only by becoming a director, which is almost impossible because the current one is stable and performs well; he is not likely to leave. But of course, I am not working only for money. Changing jobs is asking for trouble. I am doing so for my career. This position is similar to my current one, and the company is a quite large, suitable one for long-term development. So, here I am. 点评2： 一个中肯的答复， 既诚恳地告知面试官自己好像为钱而跳槽， 也告知了他自己在原岗位上没有拿到更高的薪水并非是工作表现不好， 而是受到了公司规章制度的限制。同时， 也强调了自己已经在原单位效忠3年的良好记录。不错! 答复示范3： The former company hasnt done well in the past 2 years, they have to make some redundancy and our department is lucky enough to be one of them. What a pity. 点评3： 公司裁员很少发生， 不过假如事实如此， 你需要解释出自己被裁减的缘由是由于整个部门被关闭， 而不是你个人表现欠佳而被裁减。同时， 展现了一下自己的幽默， 很好。 答复示范4： Frankly speaking, I want to leave the job simply because Im attracted by the position you offer. Compared with my current employer, Global Market is so much more renowned, offering a secure job and a long-term development. My current employer now offers an okay salary, but the career opportunities here are very limited because the size of business is relatively small. I think you can understand my choice. 点评4： 很真实， 90%的人都是为了“更好的进
