1、外企30个常见英语面试问外企30个常见英语问题一、Persona I I nformat i on关于个人信息的问题1. What * s the mean i ng of your Eng I i sh 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： Actual ly, S

2、ush i i s my n ickname. My fr iends 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 司己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。6. What su

3、bjects were your I east favor i te? Why?你最不喜 欢的 课程是什么？为什么？问题分析：外国面试官往往更加辨证，在问完成功经历后一定要追问失 败经历，问完喜欢什么科目之后也要问问不喜欢什么科目。回答示范 1 ： My I east favor i te courses i nc I ude Marx i sm and Revo Iut i onary H i story of Ch i na. I don1 t I i ke these subjects not because I am not a patr i ot-actuaI Iy I Iove m

4、y country and I am fasc i nated by i ts revoIut i onary h i story. However, these subjects turned out to be d i sappo i ntments as the textbooks and the ways they were taught were nothing but a repetition of the h i story subjects i n our secondary- schooI.点评1:在和老外面试的时候，要注意文化差异，他可能很难理解中国 学生为什么不喜欢学“马

5、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，老师也不愿意对教学法进行创新。回答示范 2： I found Macroeconomics and Microeconomics d i sappo inting as well, for the reason that the i r i nformat i on feI I beh i nd the times. For examp Ie, the exchange rate betweenRMB and USD stilled rema i ned 8. 3 : 1

6、 i n the text! You can imagine how di sappoi nted we were. So I spent more t imeI i steni ng to the Iectures on economics organ i zed by theStudent Un i on.点评2：这个答案相比而言更好一些，因为它体现出了申请人 对知识的 渴望，以及在课堂上得不到知识时如何去自我进修。7. Other than the courses you stud i ed, what i s the most important th i ng you I earne

7、d from your col lege exper i ence? 除了 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非常直接，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，绝对不能拿到大学里而来说了！回答示范 1 ： Well, I think the most important thi ng I haveIearnt i n un i vers ity i s how to set appropr i ate goaIs and see

8、them through. You know it i s so easy for un i vers ity students to waste time if they don1 t set goaIs, so I set demanding goaIs to mot i vate myseIf. One i s that I dec i ded to get scholarships each year, the other one i s that I decided to be the Ieader of a club on campus. Nei ther was easy, bu

9、t i n more than three years, I managed to achieve both.（点评： 面试官一定 会追问你是怎么实现两个目标的。）Getting schoIarship wasn t qu i te difficult for me. Runn i ng for Pres i dency of a c I ub, however, was more difficult thanI expected as there was so much petition. To achieve the goaII changed my strategy. I transfe

10、rred from the Student Union to a newly-founded union. And within 6 months, I acqui red more than 20 members and organized a few eyecatching activities. As a resu11, I became the Ieader of that cIub. I th i nk I 1 veIearnt not on Iy to set a demand i ng goaI, but a I so how to overe a I I the difficu

11、lties to ach i eve it.点评1:这是一个很漂亮的回答，体现了自己的优点：既能够 给自己设 立比较高的目标，也擅长克服困难，实现自己的目标。面试官最喜欢的人 选，就是这种“目标导向型”的申请人。回答示范 2 ： My b i ggest ach i evement i n my co I I ege I i fe, I th i nk, i s that I have Iearnt to make cho i ces. You know, there are var i ous act i v it i es and part time jobs on campus, eac

13、y op i n i on, noth i ng i s more important than maki ng the r i ght choice.点评2：这个回答符合我们一贯强调的“个性化”和“夸赞自己”两个 原则。8. How d i d you f i nance your co I I ege educat i on?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：很显然，和中国面试官相比，老外更加青睐在大学 就有赚钱 能力的候选人，并坚持认为他们的独立性和能力比完全依赖父母的候选人 要强得多。回答示范： So far, my tuition and I ivin

14、g expense are around 40, 000 RMB. My parents offer two th i rds of i t and I pay the rest of i t. I have been granted schoIarsh i p three t imes,maki ng 5,000 RMB i n totaI. Teach i ng and other part- t ime jobs made another 5,000.点评：很真实的回答，同时也体现了自己的学习成绩好和社团 活动很积 极的优点。三、Exper i ence关于工作的问题9. Wou I d

15、 you briefly descr i be th i s pany to me?介名召下你的原单位，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。如果你所在的公司 业务总量很小，你可以告诉面试官， 业务总量不大但是平均到每个员工的业务量却相当惊人！回答示范：“广盛发，the name means ”软 big, prosperous panyv , hehe, although it1 s not reaI Iy a

16、very big pany. But, it s true that the pany i s qu i te prosperous. It spec i a I i zes i n export i ng women1 s shoes. With on Iy 10 empIoyees so far the turnover Iast year was up to 15,000,000 RMB. I am one of the three customer service off icers, with the responsibi I ity of order tak i ng, track

17、 i ng and genera I customer serv i ce roIes. Due to the I imi ted number of staff, we a I I work more than 10 hoursa day, 7 days a week i n busy season.点评：很明显，这个回答既体现了自己原来的公司的规模，也 暗示了自 己能够适应繁忙工作的特点。10. Would you descr ibe your typ ica I worki ng day?请你才苗述 下 自己典型的一天的工作吧。问题分析：在这个问题上，面试官希望捕捉到的信息点是：第一，这

18、个 家伙原来干的工作和我们现在这份工作到底有多少是类似的?第二，他在原 来工作单位表现到底怎么样?所以，在描述自己的工作内容时，要注意突出 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；第二，要着 意强调一下和所申请工作类 似的内容。回答示范：Yes. I wou I d arrive at off i ce ha I f an hour ear I i er as my boss often gives me a Iot of work once he es in, and I have to be ready for it. My responsibi I ities are m

19、ainly to ass i st the saIes manager and representat i ves with order track i ng, stock report i ng, document preparat i on andtrans I at i on, using ExceI, Word and PowerPoint.

21、 pI eased by my current job. My current work i s i n a vocat i onaI h i gh schooI. Maybe I have to exp lain a b i t more here. In China, vocationaI high schooIs are designed for the I ess-advanced students or the ones want i ng work i nstead of goi ng to uni vers i ty to further thei r educat ion. A

22、s a result, the socia I status and the pay i n vocat ionaI high schooIs are not at a I I sat i sfactory. I can never bee a professor i n th i s schooI. So, although teach i ng makes me happy, I have to I eave this job because I can1 t have Iongterm career deveIopment here.点评1:相当一部分申请人辞职的原因都是为了 “长远的职

23、业发 展”， 因为在目前的工作中“看不到前途和未来”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 途和未来的原因解释清 楚，要让面试官知道，没有前途不是你个人能力缺乏所致，而确实是客观因 素使然。此外，在涉及中国特殊现象的时候，比如职业高中教育，比如中等 专科学校教育等等，要把具体的情况解释清楚，否则，老外绝对不会了解中 专教师为什么不像大学教师那么爽。回答示范 2 ： Mainly for the h i gher pay. I have been serv i ng as an aountant for th i s jo i nt venture for n

24、ear Iy 3 years and my saI ary i ncreased from 1,800 to 2,300, a fair ra i se actuaI Iy. In the Iast two performance evaIuat i ons, I got two Bs i n a row.

Th i s position i s s imi I ar to my current one, and the pany i s a quite Iarge, suitable one for Iong-term deveIopment. So, here I am.点评2： 一个中肯的回答，既诚实地告诉面试

26、官自己似乎为钱 而跳 槽，也告诉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的限制。同时，也强调了自己己经在原单位效忠3年的良好记录。不错!回答示范 3： The former pany hasn1 t done we I I i n the past 2 years, they have to make some redundancy and our department i s Iucky enough to be one of them. What a p i ty.点评3：公司裁员很少发生，不过如果事实如此，你需要解释出自己被 裁减的原因是因为整个部门

27、被关闭，而不是你个人表现欠佳而被裁减。同 时，展示了一下自己的幽默，很好。回答示范 4： Frank I y speak i ng, I want to I eave the job simply because I 1 m attracted by the position you offer. Compared with my current employer, GIobaI Market i s so much more renowned, offer i ng a secure job and a Iong-term deveIopment. My current empI oyer

28、now offers an okay saI ary, but the career opportunities here are very I imi ted because the s i ze of bus i ness i s relatively smaI I. I th i nk you can understand my choice.点评4：很真实，90%的人都是为了 “更好的发展”而离职，不妨实话 实说也罢。回答示范 5： I quit the job to study Engl i sh. In my Iast job I shouId use Engl i sh to m

29、unicate with foreigners but frankly speaki ng, my Engl i sh wasn1 t good enough. I knew I cou Id perform better i f my Engl i sh was better. Finally, after two years of struggl i ng with Engl i sh, I dec i ded to quit the job and recharge myseIf. I went to New Or i entaI Schoo I to study Engl i sh.点

30、评5：确实有很多人辞职学英语。如果你要使用这个万无一失的答 案，请务必确定一点：你的英语一定己经相当合格了！否则无疑是自暴其 短。12. Descr ibe the empIoyee you most enjoy worki ng with. 你 最 喜欢和什么样的同事一起合作？问题分析：在这个问题上，面试官希望了解的是：第一，这 份工作是否 会令你开心；第二，你所欣赏的人往往就是你的影子（心理学家如是说），比如说，如果你说自己欣赏爽直的人，往往 你 个人！回答示范 1 ：I enjoy working with straightforward peopIe,part Iy because I

31、 am a straightforward person myseIf. I hope my co I I eagues wi I I offer the i r honest suggest i ons and even or i t i c i sms to me. Frank Iy speak i ng, I am not very fortabIe with those peopIe who are too sens i t i ve and always hes i tate to回答示范 1 ： As a matter of fact, Sush i i s a n i cknam

32、e my fr i ends gave me, because I I i ke sush i and I i ke to make sush i. I can make about ten d i fferent k i nds of sush i! My fr i ends say that my persona I i ty is a bit I i ke sush i, 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

33、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 won1 t make you fee I unfortabIe. As a matter of fact, I chose the name Ki ng simply because i t sounds I i ke my Ch i nese name Jing. But, there i s a I so a h i dden mean i ng i n i t, that i s, I wish to conquer d i s

34、eases I i ke 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 i n Ch i nese i s Meng, so I choseexpress themseIves.点评1:突出了自己的直爽的性格，很好。回答示范 2： I enjoy working with positive-minded peopIe who don1 t plain too much. I f i

35、 nd it unfortab I e to work with those who a I ways plain. I n my op i n i on, we e i ther need to make improvements or aept the facts. Comp I a i n i ng i s a totaI waste of time.点评2：这是一个令人喜欢的回答，因为任何一个公司里都有 大量的 “怨男怨女”，令人反感却无可奈何。如果能多招聘几个“阳光男女”进 公司，岂不美哉。回答示范 3： I enjoy working with those who are act

36、ion makers. I don1 t I i ke to work with b i g ta I kers or those who are very slow to react. I am a quick person myseIf, so I prefer to work with the peopIe of the same k i nd.点评3：大家都喜欢风风火火的人，只要不忙中出错就好。回答不范 4： Well, I like to work with those who are good at pIann i ng because they can always make a

37、 strong team with me. I am a detai I person, and I need to work with big picture pIanners to achieve the best results.点评4：善于利用别人的长处弥补自己的不足，不错。13. What i s an idea I boss I i ke?你最喜欢的老板是什么样子 的？问题分析：和上个问题一样，面试官希望了解的是：第一，这份工作是 否会让你满意?第二，你一定会效仿你的老板，如果你说自己喜欢的老板是 能吃苦耐劳的，那么你往往是一个吃苦耐劳的人；如果你说喜欢自己的老 板是高屋建令瓦的，

38、那么你往往也是一个颇为注重宏观规划的人。要格外 注意的是，如果面试你的人恰恰就是你未来的老板，那么这个问题可要小 心了，如果你所做的描述和他的个性风马牛不相及，可能令面试功亏一簧。普通回答： I I ike democratic bosses. They can give me enough room to deveI op on my own, rather than giving i nstruct i ons to me for every smaI I deta i I.点评：这个回答比较危险，明显地表现出该申请人追求“自由 化”的性 格特点，会令很多面试官觉得心里一沉。所以说，在回答

39、这个问题的时候， 要走“保守主义”路线，尽量不要给人一种“初生牛犊不怕虎”的感觉，而要表现出谦虚谨慎、积极、诚恳 等特 点。再者说，这个回答明显在给老板提要求，当你对比下面这个回答示范 的时候，你就会明白一个道理：给老板提要求，远 远不如请老板给自己提 要求令人喜欢。回答示范 1 ： IdeaI boss? Well, I prefer strict bosses. Although work i ng with strict bosses means a Iot of pressure, I can grow fast with them. For new graduates, nothi

40、ng i s more important than developing our abi I ities as fast as we can.点评1：主动请老板为自己加压，多么可爱可敬的人，善哉！工作经验 有所欠缺的申请人，不妨向面试官表表这样的态度。回答示范 2： IdeaI boss? Let me see. Well, in my opinion, an i deaI boss can effect i veIy mot i vate h i s or her subord i nates by encouragi ng good performance and pun i sh i

41、ng poor performance. I wi I I fee I highly mot i vated to do a good job i f I know my boss wouId reward me for exceI I ent performance.点评2：好!一个希望老板能“奖惩分明”员工，往往是很自信能够做出 优良表现的员工。14. What were the best aspects of your Iast job?在上一份 工作中，你最喜欢的是什么地方?问题分析：在这个问题上，面试官要捕捉的信息点是：第一，这个申请 人是个什么样的人?如果你是一个小秘书却喜欢有挑战

42、，那么你很可能还 停留在好高鹫远的不成熟阶段；如果你喜欢原来的老板给你很大的自由发 展空间，那么你很可能是个“自由派”，不太喜欢约束，等等；第二，你 所申请的工作到底是否会让你满意?如果这一份工作内容和你最喜欢的工 作内容大相径庭，比如说，你喜欢有挑战而偏偏这份工作很细节，那么面 试官可能会因为“自惭形秽”而拒绝你的申请。所以，你所强调的最喜欢 的地方一定要在新工作中Yesterday once more才行。回答示范 1 ： The best aspect of my I ast job? Let me see.Well, I th i nk i t was the trust of my

43、boss. He gave me I ots of room to deveI op myseIf, you know, Iett i ng me shouIder respons ibi Iit ies. And I didn1 t Iet him down.

When worki ng with these people I can I earn a Iot, you know, the i r att i tude to see th i ngs, the way they work.点评2：乐于向别人学习的人，我们喜欢！回答小范 3： The best aspect of my job? I think it s the team I work with. As a sa Ies ass i stant I work with the saIes reps on a daily bas

45、 i s. It1 s so i nterest i ng to work with them, as you can imagine the saIes reps are a I I act i ve and humorous guys. I can I earn so much from them. After work i ng with them for a year and a half, I fee I I have “inherited “ the i r good traits. I 1 m tougher, more positive and a Iot better at

46、pIeas i ng others, hehe.点评3 ：很多人都会说自己工作最好的地方是拥有一群好同事，但是只 有在你给出细节之后才能打动面试官。这个答案很棒，既夸了自己的团 队，也夸奖了自己。回答示范 4： The best aspect of my job? I th i nk it s the fast pace of it. Im kept busy by my cI ients. You know I had two jobs, and pared with the f i rst job, which was dead quiet,I I i ke the second busy

47、 job so much better. It makes me fee I much more sat i sf i ed with myseIf.点评4：用事实说明自己是喜欢繁忙工作的人，善哉！15. What were the worst aspects of your I ast job?在上一份工作 中，你最讨厌的是什么地方？问题分析：这是一个比较棘手的一个问题，说得虚伪了没有人 相信，说 得太真实又唯恐令面试官反感。回答示范 1 ： The worst aspect of my current job i s definitely I ack of job secur i ty.

48、My pay was de Iayed twice i n the four months s i nee I 1 ve worked there. I jo i ned th i s pany i n hope of helping the boss to grow a smaI I bus i ness i nto a bigger one. However, it proved a Iot more difficult than I expected. The boss i s very re Iuctant to i nvest i n promot i on. As a result

49、, bus i ness has been rather sIow.点评1:职位不稳定，薪水不能保证，这的确是份糟糕的工 作。不过， 别忘记告诉面试官，这可不是你的错儿。回答示范 2：I have to work six days a week in my current job. You know it1 s aga i nst the Labor Law but it1 s the norma I pract i ce i n many factor i es i n Dongguan. It wouId be qu i te a Ir i ght for me to work on Saturday oas i onaI Iy, but certa inly not every Saturday.点评2：很真实的回答。如果是我，早就从这个每周六都要上班的鬼单 位辞职了。人权哪，同志们，尤其是珠三角一带
