外企面試,難免會遭遇外語問答,以下是外企英語面試最常見問題,供大家參考:
Personal Information 關(guān)于個人信息的問題
1. What’s the meaning of your English name? 你的英文名字有什么含義么?
問題分析: 有些申請人的英文名字不合常規(guī), 比如叫King, 或者Sushi, 或者M(jìn)onk等等。面試官詢問這些申請人名字的含義, 主要有幾個目的:
第一, 緩解面試的緊張氣氛; 第二, 面試官也有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)好奇心; 第三, 給申請人一個展示自己獨(dú)特個性的機(jī)會, 因?yàn)楦矣诮o自己起獨(dú)特名字的人往往具有很獨(dú)特的個性,
這些人希望引起別人的注意。
普通回答: Actually, Sushi is my nickname. My friends gave me this name because I like to eat the Japanese food sushi.
點(diǎn)評: 這個回答體現(xiàn)出你是個什么樣的人呢?在中國吃壽司價(jià)格不菲, 如果吃壽司吃到了朋友給你起了“壽司”這個外號的地步,
這個申請人一定不會是囊中羞澀的人。同志們想一下, 我們在面試的時候, 是把自己偽裝成“艱苦樸素”, 還是“錦衣玉食”呢?即使現(xiàn)如今壽司已經(jīng)跌價(jià)到人盡可食的地步,
你這個回答也只是在告訴面試官: 嘿, 我可是個好吃的人啊!比較一下以下的這個回答, 你就知道哪個更勝一籌了。
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.
點(diǎn)評1: 與剛才的回答相比, 這個回答體現(xiàn)出你是個什么樣的人呢?一個擅長制作壽司的女孩子一定是動手能力比較強(qiáng)的, 而且喜歡做一些瑣碎小事的人。同時,
把壽司的優(yōu)點(diǎn)引申成自己的個性優(yōu)點(diǎn): 簡單而美好, 真是一個不錯的比喻。
回答示范2: The name King may sound a bit aggressive, I hope it's 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!
點(diǎn)評2: 如果你給自己起了一個類似“國王”這樣比較aggressive的名字,
就得想好怎么樣解釋才能讓面試官知道你并不是一個過分aggressive的人。這個回答體現(xiàn)了該申請人熱愛自己醫(yī)生職業(yè)的特點(diǎn)。
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.
點(diǎn)評3: 回答得妙呀, 不僅僅真實(shí), 而且展現(xiàn)了自己的獨(dú)特個性, 告訴面試官自己身上有和尚般的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì): 克制欲望、 容忍。面試官只要不想嫁給你,
就一定會喜歡這樣的回答。
2. What’s the meaning of your email address? 你的電子郵件地址有什么寓意么?
問題分析: 當(dāng)代青年男女個性張揚(yáng), 所以連email地址也頗為獨(dú)特。令筆者或迷惑或微笑的email 地址有很多, 比如neverlazy,
bighead, lazyfish, 52n52n, yulovehong等等。與上一個問題一樣, 善于交流的面試官往往樂于給你一個機(jī)會展示自己的個性。
較差回答: 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.
點(diǎn)評: 個性傾向于過慵懶的生活, 唉!
較差回答: 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.
點(diǎn)評: 公開示愛?嘖嘖, 除了他的女朋友會覺得甜蜜蜜, 別的人一律會露出特虛偽的笑容或胃里泛酸。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!
點(diǎn)評: 在email地址中都要給自己勵志的女子, 一定是個超級工作狂, 好呀!
Education 關(guān)于教育背景的問題
4. Why did you select your major area of study? 你為什么選擇了這個專業(yè)?
問題分析: 外國面試官更喜歡提“為什么”的問題, 他希望申請人是一個有主見的人。
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.
點(diǎn)評1: 實(shí)話實(shí)說。
回答示范2: As a matter of fact, 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 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.
點(diǎn)評2: 這個回答似乎很長, 但是卻不得不這么長。這是一個典型的中國特色, 如果你的分?jǐn)?shù)夠不上第一志愿, 學(xué)校就把你打入某一個“冷宮”專業(yè)去,
而你為了進(jìn)入這所一流的大學(xué)不得不屈服。這種怪現(xiàn)象制造出很多感覺自己比竇娥還冤的“冤男怨女”, 學(xué)著“地理教育”卻痛恨從事教師職業(yè),
學(xué)著“國際政治”卻連國際新聞都懶得看!這個回答的優(yōu)點(diǎn)在于: 第一, 向外國面試官普及了一下中國特色; 第二, 強(qiáng)調(diào)了自己對商業(yè)和管理一貫的熱誠; 第三,
告訴對方其實(shí)自己高考只差10分才沒進(jìn)去最熱門的專業(yè); 第四, 自己是個不輕言放棄的人, 主修學(xué)不成用輔修來彌補(bǔ); 第五, 把上帝拉進(jìn)來, 顯出你的幽默。
回答示范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.
點(diǎn)評3: 這個回答強(qiáng)調(diào)了自己的兩大優(yōu)點(diǎn): 第一, 英語好; 第二, 早在高中就已經(jīng)是老師心目中適合從商的人。
