第一部分：业务热情(1～3问)
问：为什么在这个行业里你能做得特别出色？
答：我是一个做酥皮点心的师傅，所以我对甜点比较了解并能帮助开发新产品。新的防腐剂终于能够除掉生面团上面的不同条纹了，这意味着我们能比以前投资更多的产品了。
表明因你的天性好奇、热爱读书等原因，你是如何跟踪新产品的。你有没有足够的兴趣进行额外的研究并把适当的精力运用到你的工作上？给予具体的回答。
Q:Why would you be particularly good at this business?
A:I was a pastry chef,so I understand dessert products well and can help you with new product development.Recent preservatives have come a long way toward eliminating texture difference in pastry dough.This means we can investigate many more products than before. 问：你是如何关注当前时势的？
答：我仔细研读《华尔街日报》、《时代周刊》、《慈善机构投资者》和几家共同基金时事通讯。我还有一大群分析家朋友。
通过描绘一些符合你目标的出版物或贸易团体来证明你对该企业或职业领域的兴趣。
Q:How do you stay current?
A:I pore over the Wall Street Journal,the Times,Institutional Investor,and several mutual fund newsletters. And Ihave a number of friends who are analysts.
问：为什么你认为你对该行业会保持长久的兴趣？
答：撇开晋升的机会不说，该行业的技术变化得如此快，所以这里有广阔的就业机会。我尤其对多方面应用多媒体作为培训手段感兴趣。
你对该行业的发展前景有什么期望或设想？它使你不需晋升就可以获得发展吗? 这家企业里什么使你最受鼓舞？你可以提供什么证据来证明你的兴趣来源于你极度的好奇——可能回到几年前的时间去找这个证据——而不是目前这些你可能放弃的一时兴致? Q:Why do you think this industry would sustain yourinterest over the long haul?
A:The technology in the industry is changing so rapidly that Isee lots of room for job enhancement regardless of promotions. I am particularly interested in the many applications for multimedia as a training tool.
第一部分：业务热情(4～7问)
问：5年之内你想处于什么位置？
答：我希望有机会在工厂或国内办事处工作。我也希望通过管理一个小团体发展我的管理技能。
不要给出具体的时限或工作头衔。谈你喜欢的东西，你天生的技能，实际的问题和在你所选的领域或行业里你希望有什么机会，你希望从那些经验中学点什 么。不要谈论你在那些与你所应聘的工作无关的领域或行业里的目标。这是听起来很明显的道理，但是很多求职者会犯这个错误。不经意间你就表现出了对当前的领 域或行业缺乏真正的兴趣。不用说，一失言马上就会把你从进一步的考虑中淘汰掉。
Q: Where do you want to be in five years?
A: I'd like to have the opportunity to work in a plant as well as at the home office.I also hope to develop my management skills,perhaps by managing a small staff.
问：描述你的理想职业。
答：不管发生什么事情，我都愿意在与培训有关的领域里工作。和在大学中教学的工作相比，我还是对商业感兴趣。但我相信从事教育是我的天性，我擅长销售是因为我愿意花时间去教我的客户。现在我热切盼望我能培训那些新招聘进来的人。
谈及你喜欢的东西，你天生的技能，实际的问题或在这份特定工作或行业里你所期盼的机会，你希望从那些经验里学点什么东西。避免谈具体的时限和工作头衔。 Q escribe your ideal career.
A:I d like to stay in a field related to training no matter what happens.I was too interested in business to work at a university,but I believe that teaching is somehow in my blood.I ve been good at sales because I took the time to educate my clients.Now I look forward to training the new hires.
问：如果你有无限的时间和经济来源，你会怎样使用它们呢？
答：我希望能参加几次不针对金融专家的有关金融管理的行政研讨会。我还希望能让我的部门放长假，把每一个人都派去参加外界的一些活动。最后，我很可能去旅游并考察一下外国竞争者，同时一路享受当地的美食，您呢？
虽然娱乐的事情谈起来很有诱惑力，但一定要紧扣工作或与行业相关的事务，或者紧扣与你应聘的这份工作的技能相关的努力上。例如，你正在应聘教书工 作，你可能对义
务教授成年人读书识字的项目感兴趣。这就证明了你对自己的工作领域的激情，即对教育重要性的一种信仰，即使是作为一种兴趣而毫无报酬都无所 谓。 Q:If you had unlimited time and financial resources,how would you spend them?
A:I d love to be able to take several executive seminars on financial management that aren t geared toward financial experts.I d also love to be able to shut down my department long enough to send everyone through an Outward Bound type program.Finally,I d probably travel and look at foreign competitors,and enjoy the food along the way.What would you do? 问：假如现在是你在我们公司做首次年度总结，我该告诉你一些什么呢？
答：您要感谢我把工作完成得很好，并说明您渴望能够继续看到我工作的好成绩。更重要的是，我希望您能告诉我，您很欣赏我为一些重要项目加班加点工作的行为，还有我富有创造性的思维是如何有助于对存在的问题提出改革方案的。
很明显，在回答该问题时，你想给人留下积极的印象。“但愿您能更准时地出现”绝对不是一个好答案。记住，重点谈一两点你个人的优势。
Q:If this were your first annual review with our company, what would I be telling you right now?
A:You d be thanking me for a job well done and would be explaining how you look forward to continuing to see good work from me. Furthermore, I would anticipate your explaining how you really appreciated my putting in extra time on some key projects and how my creative thinking helped come up with some innovative solutions to existing problems.
第二部分：动机和目的(1～2问)
问：告诉我一些有关你自己的但在你的简历上又没有反映出来的东西。
答：你可能不知道我16岁就开始管理自己的投资组合，我认为你能理解我对投资销售方面的兴趣是重要的。在过去的8年里我平均每年获得12%的盈利。
不要只是重复简历上已有的东西，讲讲那些虽与你过去的从业经验无关但能反映你的个性和经验的独特的天赋或技能。
Q:Tell me something about yourself that I didnt know from reading your resume.
A:You wouldn t know that I ve managed my own small portfolio since I was sixteen,but I believe that it s important for you to understand my interest in investment sales. I ve averaged a 12 percent return over the past eight years.
问：告诉我你了解这家公司的什么。
答：去年夏天我作为一个实习的餐馆分析员与所有牛排连锁店联系密切。 你们做得特别好的是集中精力在有限的品种上，使各地能保持高度统一。商业游客都信任你们在美国任一个店的产品。但我特别感兴趣的是你们的不动产资金小组和扩展计划。
描述你第一次或是近来邂逅该公司或其产品及其服务的情况。是什么促使你想在那里工作而不是在另一家不同的公司里做同样类型的工作呢？招聘者会仔细 观察反映你真正兴趣的方面，而不仅是你对该公司所做的一些表面上的调查了解。把公司的年度报告背出来不大可能会给招聘者留下印象，但把来自顾客和员工的一 些反馈意见说出来可能会给招聘者留下印象。
Q:Tell me what you know about this company.
A:I served as an intern analyst to a restaurant last summer,so I followed all the
steak house chains closely.What you ve done especially well is focus on a limited menu with great consistency among locations;the business traveler trusts your product anywhere in the U.S.I m particularly interested in your real estatefinance group and expansion plans.
第二部分：动机和目的(3～6问)
问：你从我们公司的顾客、员工，或者别人那儿了解了我们公司的一些什么情况？
答：我确实给你们小册子上提到的几个客户打过电话。我与之交谈的顾客中有两人解释了他们为什么年复一年地购买你们的产品。你们的供销运作是很棒的，但还有没有一些可提高的服务项目呢？
叙述通过你个人与公司代表们的接触后，你的兴趣又是如何增长的。为面试进行而富有创造性地思考。例如，在你面试之前，和一些零售商或公司生产线上 别的供销点的工人交谈。他们能告诉你一些什么？给出一到两个你所了解到的例子来解释你为什么对这家公司感兴趣。什么是你可以用来证明你兴趣的最有力的例 子？
Q:What have you learned about our company from customers,employees,or others? A:I actually called several of the key accounts mentioned in your brochure.Two of the customers I spoke with explained why they continued to buy from you year after year.Your distribution operation is phenomenal.Are there any service improvements you think could still be made?
问：为什么你想在这里工作？
答：我几年前就错过了你们公司的一次招标，之后我意识到电脑产品变得越来越相近了，且零售价格的竞争愈趋激烈，以致服务成为了一家公司在竞争中脱颖而出的最好的方法。贵公司在所有的竞争者中享有最好的服务记录，而我相信从长远看，它将主宰这个行业。 你的准备和调查研究工作应在这里明显表现出来。给出一到两个你对该公司感兴趣的原因，并表明什么最激发你的兴趣。什么是你可以叙述来表明你个人对 该公司的认识的最有说服力的事情呢？它的产品还是它的员工？答案包括公司的信誉、对该工作本身的描述，或者是跻身于该企业的欲望。
Q:Why do you want to work here?
A:I lost a bid several years ago to your company.I realized then that products in the computer industry are becoming increasingly similar.They re so similar now,and retail prices are so competitive,that service is the best way for a company to distinguish itself from the competition.This company has the best service record of all its competitors,and I believe it will dominate the business in the long run.
问：公司有什么特别的方面使你最感兴趣？
答：我最感兴趣的是你们公司在拉丁美洲的发展。我父亲是一位军官，所以我们在拉美住了3年。我知道你们刚和那里的两家加工公司合资，接下来几年你们有什么计划呢？ 这是可以展示你对该公司的特定知识的另一个机会。如果你做了适当的调查研究，你回答这个提问是绝对没问题的。
Q:What particular aspect of the company interests you most?
A:I am most interested in your Latin American developments.My father was an army
officer,so we lived for three years in Latin America.I know you have just entered joint ventures with two processing companies there.What are your plans for the next few years?
第二部分：动机和目的(7～10问)
问：对我们最新的产品和广告你有什么见解？
答：你们的新广告好像是要表明早餐时间是家庭欢聚的时间，带有一定的健康意义。你们这样做是不是要纠正最近有关高脂食物的负面报道，而避免与传媒直接交锋？
你应该对该公司的新产品和广告运作充分熟悉，从而能对之做有见识的、明智的评价。提供具体的建议和肯定的评价。
Q:What do you think of our newest product and ads?
A:It seems that your new ads are trying to show that breakfast time is family time,with a certain wholesomeness.Are you doing this to balance against the recent bad press about high fat foods,without attacking the issue directly?
问：告诉我你认为我们公司在业内有什么突出的优点？
答：以你们的低价策略和总部设在低消费区的运作，即使是在不景气的年份，相对实力和你们最相当的竞争对手而言，你们也还是处于有利地位。
描述你认为公司做得非常好的事情，尤其是相对其竞争力而言。解释经济实力对一个公司来说是何等的重要。
Q:Tell me what you think our distinctive advantage is with in the industry.
A:With your low cost producer status and headquarters operation in a low cost area of the country,you seem in a better position to be able to spend aggressively on R&D,even in a down year,compared to your closest rival.
问：作为一家企业，你认为我们哪些领域最易受攻击？
答：你们的现金状况和强大的生产阵容使你们成了一个吸引人的收购目标。这是我惟一最担心的事情。我曾为一家与别的企业合并的机构工作过，但我知道我能安然渡过风暴。 公司与其竞争对手相比做得不够的地方。解释经济实力对于一个公司来说是何等的重要，如果你热衷该企业，那么你对该工作的前景很可能早就胸有成竹了。
Q:Where do you think we re the most vulnerable as a business? A:Your cash position and strong product presence make you an attractive target for a takeover. That s my only major comcern. I have already worked for one organization that merged with another,but I also know I can weather the storm.
问：如果你来经营这家公司，你会有什么不同的做法？
答：我可能会进行调查研究，看是否低价卖掉轻工制造业而开始一个有挑战性的供应商关系项目。有建设性地表明你对该行业有足够的知识，有说服力地回 答这个问题。获得这种知识的方法之一是通过与大量的公司内部人员交谈。这就是为什么这个问题能很快把那些“闲逛者”从认真的工作候选人中淘汰出来的原因。 你同样可把问题调转，请教招聘者的意见。这样你可能会学到有价值的东西。
Q:What would you do differently if you ran the company?
A:I might investigate whether to sell off the light manufacturing businesses and start an aggressive supplier relations program.
第二部分：动机和目的(11～12问)
问：你在应聘别的公司吗？应聘什么职位？
答：实际上我铁心要找一份餐馆经理的职位，所以我只是应聘餐馆管理培训项目。我最近面试过几家大型国有快餐连锁店，如SUPER BURGER和CLACKEY S CHICKEN。 通常情况下，应聘者会通过说出一些与本行业无关的大公司及一些完全不同类别的工作名称来，给面试官留下印象。大错特错！面试官想听到的是你在面试 的是同行业里同类公司（诸如他们的竞争者）的同类工作。这就证明你肯定是在找你兴趣范围里的工作，因此聘用你的风险会比较低。
Q:What other firms are you interviewing with,and for whatpositions?
A:Actually,I ve definitely decided to pursue a career as a restaurant manager,so I am applying only for restaurant management training programs. I ve recently had interviews with several other large national fast food chains,such as Super Burger and Clackey's Chicken. 问：你认为你的资深能力完全超出这份工作所需的能力吗？
答：不是。我的经验和资历只能是使我做得更好，并且，在我看来，我的设计技能有助于我多卖一些书。我的商业经验能助我高效率地管理艺术部门，由此 我可为公司省钱。最后，我认为我能够吸引更好的自由职业作家，因为我有很多行业关系。既然公司的投资想获得更高的利润，那么我的资历更有益于公司。再者， 我能和我的上司建立长期的合作关系，如果我做得好的话，我期望能扩大我的责任范围以利用我其他方面的技能。
大多数的人都没预料到他们会被问到他们是否有丰富的工作经验。这个问题很容易就给面试人选来个出其不意。准确地说这就是面试官的目的（企图/意向）。这位候选人毫不犹豫地回答了这个问题并对他自己的能力表现得完全自信。
Q o you believe you re overqualified for this position?
A:Not at all.My experience and qualifications make me do my job only better,and in my opinion,my good design skills help to sell more books. My business experience helps me run the art department in a cost efficient manner, thus saving the com pany money.Finally,I think I m able to attract better freelance talent because of all my industry contacts.My qualifications are better for the company,too,since you ll be getting a better return for your investment.Again, I m interested in establishing a long term relationship with my employer,and if I did well,I would expect expanded responsibilities that could make use of even other skills.
第二部分：动机和目的(13～15问)
问：如果我们的竞争对手给你一份工作，你将会怎么做？
答：我会拒绝。我对这个行业里的其他公司不感兴趣，我想在耐克公司工作是因为我曾穿着耐克牌的产品，在多次赛跑中获胜。正因为我对使用耐克牌产品有真实的经历，我认为我有足够的说服力把公司的产品卖给零售商。
面试官试图断定面试者是否真正对该行业和公司感兴趣，或者他是否随便地挑选公司。对比你对该公司及其竞争者的认识，谈及你所接触过的公司产品或接受过的公司服务。
从长远看，你认为哪一家经营者是最具生存能力的，为什么？这也同样是你询问面试官的见解的好时机。
Q:What would you do if one of our competitors offered you a position?
A:I d say no.I m not interested in other players in this industry. I want to work for Nike because I won a number of races wearing the Nike brand.Because of my positive experience with Nike,I know I d be convincing selling your product to retailers.
问：为什么你准备辞去现在的工作？
答：我的兴趣在于回到银行业。我能负责很多公司的人力资源的管理工作，但我认为，作为一个贷款人的经验已为我招募新的贷款人纳入培训项目做了特别的准备。
给出2～3个你准备辞去目前这份工作的原因。集中体现你当前工作在发展方面受到的限制或缺少挑战。一定要指出为什么你相信现在这个职位会提供给你挑战的机会和你期望的另一些职责。
Q:Why are you ready to leave your current job?
A:My interest lies in returning to the banking industry.I can work in human resources management in many environments,but I believe that my experience as a lender prepares me exceptionally well for recruiting new lenders into the training program.
问：是什么促使你想从事这类工作？
答：我读书时是幸运的，我遇到了很优秀的老师，我也想成为那样的老师，他不仅仅是鼓励孩子们如何学习，而且要树立一种能激励别人也想从教的榜样。从长远来看，那是我们在教学舞台上改变我们的教育能力的最好机会。
面试官会想知道你对公司的产品和服务所抱的信心。运用个人的经验来证明你的兴趣和实力。在面试一份你理想的工作时，你的动机就是做你喜欢的事情而获得报酬。面试官会想知道你的兴趣是否和该特定的工作一致。
Q:What motivates you to do this kind of work?
A:I ve been fortunate in my own schooling;I had wonderful teachers.I want to be that same kind of teacher,who not only encourages kids to learn but also sets an example that inspires others to want to teach.In the long run,that sour bes tchance of turning around the quality of education in this state.
第二部分：动机和目的(16～18问)
问：做这份工作，你想要什么样的工资待遇？
答：据你的工作简介，上面提到你们更喜欢一个有工程学博士学位的人，我希望你能考虑我的技能符合你们的最高要求的标准这个事实。所以，我希望的是一份属于这个职位工资范围里最高的工资。你能透露一下你们的工资范围吗？
招聘者想淘汰那些金钱目标不现实的人。这个问题一针见血，它逼你对一个敏感的话题做出反应，假如你提一个太低的工资，你就显得没见识；太高了，那 你又把自己的价位定得太高或失去了讨价的机会。最好就是反问招聘者，问他这个职位的工资范围, 然后让他对比你的学历程度和这个职位一般的要求作出考虑。
Q:What salary would you expect for this job?
A:Based on your job description,which mentions that you prefer someone with a master's degree in engineering,I hope you consider the fact that my skills meet your highest
standards.Therefore,I'd expect a salary at the high end of your pay range for the position classification.Can you give me some indication of your range?
问：你可以带来什么别的人选不可能提供的新技能或新见解吗？
答：因为我已为这个行业里历史最长的一家公司工作过，我可以帮助公司避免一些我们在建立市场上所犯的错误。我认为保住主要的顾客基础比获取新的客户更为重要。 这个问题是问求职者为这份工作带来意外价值的动力。你是否仔细考虑过这份工作? 是否斟酌过当前的工作部门里存在的限制和弱点及你自己独特的能力？ 假如你和另一位人选势均力敌，不分上下，要是你能证明“我可以提供你所要求的，然后还有别的什么”，那么这份工作就是你的了。
Q:What new skills or ideas do you bring to the job that other candidates aren t likely to offer?
A:Because I ve worked with the oldest player in this industry,I can help you avoid some of the mistakes we made in our established markets.I think that retaining your core customer base is more important than securing new accounts right now .
问：前一份工作里，什么是你希望完成但却不能完成的事情？
答：我曾被一笔预算困住，以致不能实施印制广告等市场活动，我想开发互动传媒，因为那些8～25岁的人对以计算机为载体的媒体有兴趣。
回答这个问题应与回答：“为什么你准备辞去目前的工作？”用同一种方法。保持积极的态度谈及过去那份工作中你喜欢的东西和你在该工作上的才能，要避免过多地谈过去那份工作的缺陷。
Q:What would you like to accomplish that you weren't able to accomplish in your last position?
A:I was hampered by a small budget that limited our marketing efforts to print ads and other traditional resources. I'd like to explore interactive media,because the eight to twenty five year old category responds to computer based media.
第二部分：动机和目的(19～20问)
问：在过去短短的几年时间里，你的职业动机是如何变化的？
答：当我开始做销售的时候，我从没意识到假如我离开销售行业会有多大损失。现在，即使我在找一份市场工作，但我还是想找与销售领域密切相关的公 司。你们公司能吸引我的原因是你们的账户小组的概念可以使我与顾客的需求保持一致。 叙述你从过去的工作中学会的东西，特别是你的技能和本领有特别明显的表现之处，你目前的动机应该和你面试的这份工作有很大的联系。
Q:How have your career motivations changed over the past few years?
A:When I started in sales,I didn t realize how much I'd miss it if I left.N ow I want to stay close to the field organization,even though I'm looking for marketing jobs.Your firm attracts me because the account team concept would keep me in tune with customer needs. 问：我为什么要聘用你？
答：我叔叔在这个行业里有过一个小规模的制造公司，尽管他后来卖掉了它，但我
在那里工作了5个暑假，做过各种各样的临时工作。因此，我认为我是从最底层做起并了解这个行业的，且你要相信我知道作为一个工厂的经理我该学会一些什么东西。
不要重复你的简历或应聘历史，提供一个或两个例子来说明为什么你要和这家特定的公司进行交谈。什么是你用来证明你的兴趣最有力的例子呢？这个问题 通常都保留不问，但它总是在招聘者的脑子里。即使这个问题不问到，你也应该找机会在面试过程中说出来，大约就在你结束谈话的时候。
Q:Why should I hire you?
A:My uncle had a company that was a small scale manufacturer in the industry,and although he later sold the business.I worked there for five summers doing all sorts of odd jobs.For that reason I believe I know this business from the ground up,and you can be assured that I know what I d be getting into as a plant manager here.
第三部分：技能和经验(1～5问)
问：你的关键技能是什么？
答：作为高级系统分析人员工作6年以后，我拓展了大量的关键技能，包括商务模型、过程重建、软件包评价和在UNIX 和C 语言环境下的优秀编程技能。我非常高兴这些技能都是你们需要的，你想听一下我具体的工作例子吗？
谈及你的工作技能以及你如何把它们运用于这份工作上。避免陈词滥调或过分笼统，应提供具体的例子，拿你当前在任的工作或以前的工作与正在面试的这份工作作比较。 Q:What are your key skills?
A:After working six years as a senior systems analyst,I've developed a number of key skills,including business modeling,process reengineering,software package evaluation,and excellent programming skills in UNIX and Cenvironments.I was very pleased to discover that these are the skills you're seeking.Do you want to hear about specific examples of my work? 问：你的实力是什么？
答：我的实力是人际关系技巧，我通常都能使别人支持我的观点。对人我有着较好的判断力且对他们的才华和解决问题的能力有较好的直觉。这种技能在我 看来和这份工作直接相关。我知道你要求有3年的相关工作经验。虽然我的简历表明我只有两年的工作经验，但这并不代表我只上了两年和本领域相关的夜大，并在 某一专门团体里表现得比较积极。我还通过阅读企业贸易新闻来获取知识，我肯定我的综合知识和技术水平与那些有3年实际水平的人相当。眼下我还正在学习时间 管理课程，我已看到了这门课程在我目前从事的这份工作中起到的作用。
描述两三项和该工作最相关的技能。避免老生常谈或过分笼统，应提供详细的例子。描述能把这些技能运用于新职位的新方法。假如你不得不谈你缺点的 话，那就诚恳一点，但要避免露馅，避免指出那有可能成为你获得这份工作的主要障碍的缺点。例如，指出你仅有他们要求的工作经验是明智的，面试官肯定很重视 这些，你还可以解释你是如何够资格去做这份工作的。
Q:What are your strengths?
A:My strengths are interpersonal skills,and I can usually win people over to my point of
view.Also,I have good judgment about people and an intuitive sense of their talents and their ability to contribute to a given problem.These skills seem to me directly related to the job.I notice that you require three years work experience for this job.Although my resume shows that I ve only two years experience,it doesn't show that I took two evening college courses related to my field and have been active in one of the professional societies. I also try to gain knowledge by reading the industry's trade journals. I'm certain that my combined knowledge and skill level is the equivalent of that of other people who actually do have three years work experience.I'm also currently enrolled in a time management course;I can already see the effects of this course at work on my present job.
问：你的经验如何与这份工作有关呢？
答：在我目前从事的工作里，我最近完成了三项工程再设计项目。我收集了所有需要的市场数据，发展了一项测量水准项目，组成一支队伍去做评价和分析 工作。因此，我已经准备好了去解决你这项工作里列出的第一年首要的重新设计项目。在过去的工作里，我是工程设计队和新滑轮引擎仪器检测队的联系人。这些经 验有助于我与你们的技术队伍和检测队伍保持密切和谨慎的工作关系，以解决这项工作。
对比你当前从事的工作或以前的工作与这份工作的要求。相似点对于你来说是明显的，但对于招聘者来说却未必。如果需要的话可就这份工作提出问题，使面试官接受你的理论依据。
Q:How is your experience relevant to this job?
A:In my current job I've recently completed three reengineering projects.I gathered all the necessary market data,developed a benchmarking program,and put together a team to do the evaluation and analysis.As a result I'm ready to tackle the major re engineering project that you ve listed as the priorty of this job during the first year.In my past job I was the liaison between the project engineering group and the instrumentation group in the testing of a new turbo engine.This experience will also help me tackle this job,which involves a close and careful working relationship between your technical group and your field testing group.
问：对于这项工作你认为什么技能是最重要的?
答：评价你们所有新产品的规则和竞争要求的能力是重要的。在我最近的工作里，作为市场策划者和政策调整分析员已获得了大量的经验，我的第一份工作也是一样。
描述你过去的工作经验与这份工作最相关的地方，对比你当前从事的工作或以前的工作与这份工作的要求。
Q:What skills do you think are most critical to this job? A:The ability to evaluate all of the regulatory and competitive requirements for your new product are critical.I've had considerable experience in this area as a strategic marketing and regulatory policy analyst in my most recent job,and also in my first job.
问：你在这份工作里想提高什么技能？
答：我希望提高我的谈判技巧。我在翻译合同和实施合同上都有大量的经验，但对谈判主要合同的实际条件、要价、标准等事项，我的经验有限。我相信这份工作能提供机会让我成为谈判队伍里的一员，使我有机会获得一些必要的技能来领导这个队伍。
叙述你在目前就任的工作中还不能充分施展的几项才能。例如：因为你的上司计划在他的工作岗位上至少还要干5年，所以你负责管理整个部门的机会就可能受到妨碍。 Q:What skills would you like to develop in this job?
A:I'd like to develop my negotiating skills.I've had considerable experience interpreting and implementing large contracts,but I ve been limited in negotiating the actual
conditions,costs,and standards for a major contract.I believe this job will offer me the opportunity to be a member of a negotiating team and thereby to begin acquiring the skills necessary to lead the team.
第三部分：技能和经验(6～10问
问：假如你不得不留在你目前就任的职位上，你会多花一点时间在什么方面？为什么？
答：如果我还干这份工作，我宁愿获得更多有关劳资谈判的经验，特别是我想帮助谈判劳动合同，解决4级程度冤情，准备提请仲裁。我在人力资源所有其 他方面的背景资料都比较牢固，我相信劳动关系经验能使我的技能更丰富完善，以使我将来能有机会上升到部门领导或副经理的位置。
你对你的工作最感兴趣的是什么？叙述大量的任务给了你最大的满足。此外，表明你有兴趣提高工作的等级，处于领导位置上等。
Q:If you had to stay in your current job,what would you spend more time on?Why? A:If stay in my current job,I d like to gain more e xperience in labor negotiating.In particular,I'd like to help negotiate labor contracts,resolve grievances at the step 4 level,and prepare grievances for arbitration.My background in all other areas of human resources is strong,and I believe labor relations experience will round out my skills so that I can have the opportunity to move up as a department head or a vice president in the future.
问：你如何丰富你目前就任的工作？
答：回想1993年时，我是一家电报和无线电公司的研究助理。正当我们取得飞速发展时，我们的价格分析员为了另一份好工作突然辞职了。在找人填补 他位置的过程中，我协助完成了几个主要的政府项目之一。我常加班加点，并且努力学习，并使这个项目获得肯定。我因此而受到赞扬，并被告知我将纳入下次举办 的价格 小组。
展示一项能不断地为你的工作增值的能力。有什么新的机会能挑战你的技能和智力？面试官想确信你不会对你的工作感到厌倦或对之不抱幻想。
Q:How could you enrich your current job?
A:When I was a research assistant for the cable and wireless company back in ninety three,at a time when we were experiencing rapid growth,our pricing analyst abruptly resigned for a better job.During the search to fill his position,I volunteered to help out with one of the major government projects.I worked considerable overtime,studied on my own,and helped bring the project to conclusion.I was commended for my effort and was told I d be in line for the next opening in the pricing group.
问：你对你的成功如何解释？
答：我从来都不假定我的顾客满意我们的产品，所以我总是尽力跟踪每一位顾客。 顾客对我们产品的质量和性能提供了很好的见解，顾客们同样也很赏识这种追踪调查，特别是有些事情处理不当的时候，你还有机会及时纠正。另外，我能传递信息给我们的设计和生产单位去帮它们改善工序和提高产量。
说话要坦率但不能自大。提起一些别人对你工作能力或才华的评价。这个问题与“什么使你与众不同？”问法很相似。
Q:How do you explain your job successes?
A:I never assume our customers are satisfied with our product, so I do my best to follow up with every customer.This feedback has provided valuable insight into the quality and characteristics of our products.The customer,as well,always appreciates this follow up,especially when something hasn't gone right and you still have the opportunity to correct it on a timely basis.In addition,I m able to pass on information to our design and production units to help improve both process and product.
问：和同领域里背景相似的人比较，你如何评价自己？
答：在全国所有的销售员队伍里我一直排在前10%。我为一家国有新闻刊物推销广告版面，我的顾客代表了全美国的主要大型广告代理。我总是喜欢把产 品卖给广告代理执行部门的这种挑战，因为它们总是定一个高的标准，并且真正了解我们的产品。这最充分地显示了我爱竞争的天性。我在我的出版公司和行业里一 直都是名列前茅的。
诚恳而自信，但不要骄傲自大。为你的回答提供清楚、有说服力的理由。如果你在全国销售领域里排在前10%，那么这是提出来的好时机！
Q:Compared to others with a similar background in your field,how would you rate yourself?
A:I ve been consistently ranked in the top 10 percent nationally for all salespeople in my field.I sell advertising space for a national news publication.My clients are primarily large and agencies that represent corporate in America.I've always enjoyed the challenge of selling to advertising agency executives because they always set high standards and really know our product well.This brings out the very best in my competitive nature,and I'm consistently at the top,both within my publishing company and within the industry.
问：你的写作能力有多强？
答：在我获得了工商管理硕士之后，我就真正集中精力进一步提高我的写作技巧。我参加过一个企业家培训班，其主要任务是拓展、拟写和不断改写一个非常复杂的商业计划。 一个极好的回答，准备一个商业计划或类似的东西展示给招聘者看。在面试后把这份商业计划留下给招聘者。招聘者可能正在寻找一个有写作能力的人选，特别是需要大量写作的工种，如财政分析者或撰稿人。
Q:How good are your writing abilities?
A:I really concentrated on further developing my writing skills while I got my MBA.I took an entrepreneurial class in which the chief assignment was developing,writing,and continually rewriting a very involved business plan.
第三部分：技能和经验(11～12问
问：你认为一个助理编辑的广泛职责是什么？
答：我肯定不同的公司有不同的责任要求，但最基本的是，一个助理编辑要会打字、文件归档和一般的行政工作。也许还要阅读书籍和写书评，写退稿信，与作者进行一些简单的书信交流，还有协助编辑处理需要完成的工作。
面试官可能会以这种或者那种形式问你这个问题。这个问题与“在你以前的那份工作中，你的愿望与现实有什么相异之处？”那个问题很相似，但更巧妙一 点。虽然从根本上
说，这两个问题都是在确定同一样东西，但是这种提问形式更巧妙一点。许多首次应聘者对他们的公司抱有幻想，而且对于从事平凡的抄写员的工 作感到意外与不快。雇主想确信你对该工作抱有现实的态度，还有你会愉快地在那个职位上工作好几年。
Q:What would you say are the broad responsibilities of an editorial assistant?
A:Though I m sure it varies from company to company, I think it would b e safe to say that being an editorial assistant involves a lot of typing, filing, and general administrative work. I would probably be expected to read and evaluate book proposals, write manuscript rejection letters, have some limited correspondence with authors, and generally assist the editor in whatever needed to be done.
问：你熟知什么电脑系统和软件？
答：我用过装有办公软件的个人电脑，软件包括WORD 、WORDPERFECT 、LOTUS 123和EXCEL 。同样我也有使用MACINTOSH 系统的经验。通过对电脑网络的研究，我已对局域网熟悉起来。我们使用某公司的电脑系统和软件，它们 就培训我们如何排解一些基本的故障问题。
在今天的商业环境里，电脑操作能力是必需的。WORD 文字处理程序和EXCEL 电子制表经验是必要的，熟悉数据库的操作或制图程序也一样有用。大 多数行业使用PC 机，但很多创新型领域，如出版业和广告业就使用MACINTOSH 。假如你正在面试这个领域里的一家公司，你会发现熟悉MACS 的好处。
Q:What computer systems and software do you know?
A:I ve used PCs with general office software such as Microsoft Word fo r Windows,WordPerfect,Lotus123,and Excel.I have some experience with Macintosh systems as well. And through my search for a computer network,I've gained some familiarity with local networks;the computer company we used trained me on basic troubleshooting issues.
找一份满意的工作吗? 面试中面对外国老板连珠炮似的提问, 有没有觉得心慌意乱、无所适从？求职过程中面试尤为重要，回答问题，如果能简明扼要，真诚中肯，合乎老 外口味，那么录取机会必定大大增加。当然，有的问题，也要轻描淡写，以免言多必失。本篇摘录了若干面试中出现频率较高的问题及精彩回答，希望能在您求职路 上助您一臂之力。

第一部分：业务热情(1～3问)
问：为什么在这个行业里你能做得特别出色？
答：我是一个做酥皮点心的师傅，所以我对甜点比较了解并能帮助开发新产品。新的防腐剂终于能够除掉生面团上面的不同条纹了，这意味着我们能比以前投资更多的产品了。
表明因你的天性好奇、热爱读书等原因，你是如何跟踪新产品的。你有没有足够的兴趣进行额外的研究并把适当的精力运用到你的工作上？给予具体的回答。
Q:Why would you be particularly good at this business?
A:I was a pastry chef,so I understand dessert products well and can help you with new product development.Recent preservatives have come a long way toward eliminating texture difference in pastry dough.This means we can investigate many more products than before. 问：你是如何关注当前时势的？
答：我仔细研读《华尔街日报》、《时代周刊》、《慈善机构投资者》和几家共同基金时事通讯。我还有一大群分析家朋友。
通过描绘一些符合你目标的出版物或贸易团体来证明你对该企业或职业领域的兴趣。
Q:How do you stay current?
A:I pore over the Wall Street Journal,the Times,Institutional Investor,and several mutual fund newsletters. And Ihave a number of friends who are analysts.
问：为什么你认为你对该行业会保持长久的兴趣？
答：撇开晋升的机会不说，该行业的技术变化得如此快，所以这里有广阔的就业机会。我尤其对多方面应用多媒体作为培训手段感兴趣。
你对该行业的发展前景有什么期望或设想？它使你不需晋升就可以获得发展吗? 这家企业里什么使你最受鼓舞？你可以提供什么证据来证明你的兴趣来源于你极度的好奇——可能回到几年前的时间去找这个证据——而不是目前这些你可能放弃的一时兴致? Q:Why do you think this industry would sustain yourinterest over the long haul?
A:The technology in the industry is changing so rapidly that Isee lots of room for job enhancement regardless of promotions. I am particularly interested in the many applications for multimedia as a training tool.
第一部分：业务热情(4～7问)
问：5年之内你想处于什么位置？
答：我希望有机会在工厂或国内办事处工作。我也希望通过管理一个小团体发展我的管理技能。
不要给出具体的时限或工作头衔。谈你喜欢的东西，你天生的技能，实际的问题和在你所选的领域或行业里你希望有什么机会，你希望从那些经验中学点什 么。不要谈论你在那些与你所应聘的工作无关的领域或行业里的目标。这是听起来很明显的道理，但是很多求职者会犯这个错误。不经意间你就表现出了对当前的领 域或行业缺乏真正的兴趣。不用说，一失言马上就会把你从进一步的考虑中淘汰掉。
Q: Where do you want to be in five years?
A: I'd like to have the opportunity to work in a plant as well as at the home office.I also hope to develop my management skills,perhaps by managing a small staff.
问：描述你的理想职业。
答：不管发生什么事情，我都愿意在与培训有关的领域里工作。和在大学中教学的工作相比，我还是对商业感兴趣。但我相信从事教育是我的天性，我擅长销售是因为我愿意花时间去教我的客户。现在我热切盼望我能培训那些新招聘进来的人。
谈及你喜欢的东西，你天生的技能，实际的问题或在这份特定工作或行业里你所期盼的机会，你希望从那些经验里学点什么东西。避免谈具体的时限和工作头衔。 Q escribe your ideal career.
A:I d like to stay in a field related to training no matter what happens.I was too interested in business to work at a university,but I believe that teaching is somehow in my blood.I ve been good at sales because I took the time to educate my clients.Now I look forward to training the new hires.
问：如果你有无限的时间和经济来源，你会怎样使用它们呢？
答：我希望能参加几次不针对金融专家的有关金融管理的行政研讨会。我还希望能让我的部门放长假，把每一个人都派去参加外界的一些活动。最后，我很可能去旅游并考察一下外国竞争者，同时一路享受当地的美食，您呢？
虽然娱乐的事情谈起来很有诱惑力，但一定要紧扣工作或与行业相关的事务，或者紧扣与你应聘的这份工作的技能相关的努力上。例如，你正在应聘教书工 作，你可能对义
务教授成年人读书识字的项目感兴趣。这就证明了你对自己的工作领域的激情，即对教育重要性的一种信仰，即使是作为一种兴趣而毫无报酬都无所 谓。 Q:If you had unlimited time and financial resources,how would you spend them?
A:I d love to be able to take several executive seminars on financial management that aren t geared toward financial experts.I d also love to be able to shut down my department long enough to send everyone through an Outward Bound type program.Finally,I d probably travel and look at foreign competitors,and enjoy the food along the way.What would you do? 问：假如现在是你在我们公司做首次年度总结，我该告诉你一些什么呢？
答：您要感谢我把工作完成得很好，并说明您渴望能够继续看到我工作的好成绩。更重要的是，我希望您能告诉我，您很欣赏我为一些重要项目加班加点工作的行为，还有我富有创造性的思维是如何有助于对存在的问题提出改革方案的。
很明显，在回答该问题时，你想给人留下积极的印象。“但愿您能更准时地出现”绝对不是一个好答案。记住，重点谈一两点你个人的优势。
Q:If this were your first annual review with our company, what would I be telling you right now?
A:You d be thanking me for a job well done and would be explaining how you look forward to continuing to see good work from me. Furthermore, I would anticipate your explaining how you really appreciated my putting in extra time on some key projects and how my creative thinking helped come up with some innovative solutions to existing problems.
第二部分：动机和目的(1～2问)
问：告诉我一些有关你自己的但在你的简历上又没有反映出来的东西。
答：你可能不知道我16岁就开始管理自己的投资组合，我认为你能理解我对投资销售方面的兴趣是重要的。在过去的8年里我平均每年获得12%的盈利。
不要只是重复简历上已有的东西，讲讲那些虽与你过去的从业经验无关但能反映你的个性和经验的独特的天赋或技能。
Q:Tell me something about yourself that I didnt know from reading your resume.
A:You wouldn t know that I ve managed my own small portfolio since I was sixteen,but I believe that it s important for you to understand my interest in investment sales. I ve averaged a 12 percent return over the past eight years.
问：告诉我你了解这家公司的什么。
答：去年夏天我作为一个实习的餐馆分析员与所有牛排连锁店联系密切。 你们做得特别好的是集中精力在有限的品种上，使各地能保持高度统一。商业游客都信任你们在美国任一个店的产品。但我特别感兴趣的是你们的不动产资金小组和扩展计划。
描述你第一次或是近来邂逅该公司或其产品及其服务的情况。是什么促使你想在那里工作而不是在另一家不同的公司里做同样类型的工作呢？招聘者会仔细 观察反映你真正兴趣的方面，而不仅是你对该公司所做的一些表面上的调查了解。把公司的年度报告背出来不大可能会给招聘者留下印象，但把来自顾客和员工的一 些反馈意见说出来可能会给招聘者留下印象。
Q:Tell me what you know about this company.
A:I served as an intern analyst to a restaurant last summer,so I followed all the
steak house chains closely.What you ve done especially well is focus on a limited menu with great consistency among locations;the business traveler trusts your product anywhere in the U.S.I m particularly interested in your real estatefinance group and expansion plans.
第二部分：动机和目的(3～6问)
问：你从我们公司的顾客、员工，或者别人那儿了解了我们公司的一些什么情况？
答：我确实给你们小册子上提到的几个客户打过电话。我与之交谈的顾客中有两人解释了他们为什么年复一年地购买你们的产品。你们的供销运作是很棒的，但还有没有一些可提高的服务项目呢？
叙述通过你个人与公司代表们的接触后，你的兴趣又是如何增长的。为面试进行而富有创造性地思考。例如，在你面试之前，和一些零售商或公司生产线上 别的供销点的工人交谈。他们能告诉你一些什么？给出一到两个你所了解到的例子来解释你为什么对这家公司感兴趣。什么是你可以用来证明你兴趣的最有力的例 子？
Q:What have you learned about our company from customers,employees,or others? A:I actually called several of the key accounts mentioned in your brochure.Two of the customers I spoke with explained why they continued to buy from you year after year.Your distribution operation is phenomenal.Are there any service improvements you think could still be made?
问：为什么你想在这里工作？
答：我几年前就错过了你们公司的一次招标，之后我意识到电脑产品变得越来越相近了，且零售价格的竞争愈趋激烈，以致服务成为了一家公司在竞争中脱颖而出的最好的方法。贵公司在所有的竞争者中享有最好的服务记录，而我相信从长远看，它将主宰这个行业。 你的准备和调查研究工作应在这里明显表现出来。给出一到两个你对该公司感兴趣的原因，并表明什么最激发你的兴趣。什么是你可以叙述来表明你个人对 该公司的认识的最有说服力的事情呢？它的产品还是它的员工？答案包括公司的信誉、对该工作本身的描述，或者是跻身于该企业的欲望。
Q:Why do you want to work here?
A:I lost a bid several years ago to your company.I realized then that products in the computer industry are becoming increasingly similar.They re so similar now,and retail prices are so competitive,that service is the best way for a company to distinguish itself from the competition.This company has the best service record of all its competitors,and I believe it will dominate the business in the long run.
问：公司有什么特别的方面使你最感兴趣？
答：我最感兴趣的是你们公司在拉丁美洲的发展。我父亲是一位军官，所以我们在拉美住了3年。我知道你们刚和那里的两家加工公司合资，接下来几年你们有什么计划呢？ 这是可以展示你对该公司的特定知识的另一个机会。如果你做了适当的调查研究，你回答这个提问是绝对没问题的。
Q:What particular aspect of the company interests you most?
A:I am most interested in your Latin American developments.My father was an army
officer,so we lived for three years in Latin America.I know you have just entered joint ventures with two processing companies there.What are your plans for the next few years?
第二部分：动机和目的(7～10问)
问：对我们最新的产品和广告你有什么见解？
答：你们的新广告好像是要表明早餐时间是家庭欢聚的时间，带有一定的健康意义。你们这样做是不是要纠正最近有关高脂食物的负面报道，而避免与传媒直接交锋？
你应该对该公司的新产品和广告运作充分熟悉，从而能对之做有见识的、明智的评价。提供具体的建议和肯定的评价。
Q:What do you think of our newest product and ads?
A:It seems that your new ads are trying to show that breakfast time is family time,with a certain wholesomeness.Are you doing this to balance against the recent bad press about high fat foods,without attacking the issue directly?
问：告诉我你认为我们公司在业内有什么突出的优点？
答：以你们的低价策略和总部设在低消费区的运作，即使是在不景气的年份，相对实力和你们最相当的竞争对手而言，你们也还是处于有利地位。
描述你认为公司做得非常好的事情，尤其是相对其竞争力而言。解释经济实力对一个公司来说是何等的重要。
Q:Tell me what you think our distinctive advantage is with in the industry.
A:With your low cost producer status and headquarters operation in a low cost area of the country,you seem in a better position to be able to spend aggressively on R&D,even in a down year,compared to your closest rival.
问：作为一家企业，你认为我们哪些领域最易受攻击？
答：你们的现金状况和强大的生产阵容使你们成了一个吸引人的收购目标。这是我惟一最担心的事情。我曾为一家与别的企业合并的机构工作过，但我知道我能安然渡过风暴。 公司与其竞争对手相比做得不够的地方。解释经济实力对于一个公司来说是何等的重要，如果你热衷该企业，那么你对该工作的前景很可能早就胸有成竹了。
Q:Where do you think we re the most vulnerable as a business? A:Your cash position and strong product presence make you an attractive target for a takeover. That s my only major comcern. I have already worked for one organization that merged with another,but I also know I can weather the storm.
问：如果你来经营这家公司，你会有什么不同的做法？
答：我可能会进行调查研究，看是否低价卖掉轻工制造业而开始一个有挑战性的供应商关系项目。有建设性地表明你对该行业有足够的知识，有说服力地回 答这个问题。获得这种知识的方法之一是通过与大量的公司内部人员交谈。这就是为什么这个问题能很快把那些“闲逛者”从认真的工作候选人中淘汰出来的原因。 你同样可把问题调转，请教招聘者的意见。这样你可能会学到有价值的东西。
Q:What would you do differently if you ran the company?
A:I might investigate whether to sell off the light manufacturing businesses and start an aggressive supplier relations program.
第二部分：动机和目的(11～12问)
问：你在应聘别的公司吗？应聘什么职位？
答：实际上我铁心要找一份餐馆经理的职位，所以我只是应聘餐馆管理培训项目。我最近面试过几家大型国有快餐连锁店，如SUPER BURGER和CLACKEY S CHICKEN。 通常情况下，应聘者会通过说出一些与本行业无关的大公司及一些完全不同类别的工作名称来，给面试官留下印象。大错特错！面试官想听到的是你在面试 的是同行业里同类公司（诸如他们的竞争者）的同类工作。这就证明你肯定是在找你兴趣范围里的工作，因此聘用你的风险会比较低。
Q:What other firms are you interviewing with,and for whatpositions?
A:Actually,I ve definitely decided to pursue a career as a restaurant manager,so I am applying only for restaurant management training programs. I ve recently had interviews with several other large national fast food chains,such as Super Burger and Clackey's Chicken. 问：你认为你的资深能力完全超出这份工作所需的能力吗？
答：不是。我的经验和资历只能是使我做得更好，并且，在我看来，我的设计技能有助于我多卖一些书。我的商业经验能助我高效率地管理艺术部门，由此 我可为公司省钱。最后，我认为我能够吸引更好的自由职业作家，因为我有很多行业关系。既然公司的投资想获得更高的利润，那么我的资历更有益于公司。再者， 我能和我的上司建立长期的合作关系，如果我做得好的话，我期望能扩大我的责任范围以利用我其他方面的技能。
大多数的人都没预料到他们会被问到他们是否有丰富的工作经验。这个问题很容易就给面试人选来个出其不意。准确地说这就是面试官的目的（企图/意向）。这位候选人毫不犹豫地回答了这个问题并对他自己的能力表现得完全自信。
Q o you believe you re overqualified for this position?
A:Not at all.My experience and qualifications make me do my job only better,and in my opinion,my good design skills help to sell more books. My business experience helps me run the art department in a cost efficient manner, thus saving the com pany money.Finally,I think I m able to attract better freelance talent because of all my industry contacts.My qualifications are better for the company,too,since you ll be getting a better return for your investment.Again, I m interested in establishing a long term relationship with my employer,and if I did well,I would expect expanded responsibilities that could make use of even other skills.
第二部分：动机和目的(13～15问)
问：如果我们的竞争对手给你一份工作，你将会怎么做？
答：我会拒绝。我对这个行业里的其他公司不感兴趣，我想在耐克公司工作是因为我曾穿着耐克牌的产品，在多次赛跑中获胜。正因为我对使用耐克牌产品有真实的经历，我认为我有足够的说服力把公司的产品卖给零售商。
面试官试图断定面试者是否真正对该行业和公司感兴趣，或者他是否随便地挑选公司。对比你对该公司及其竞争者的认识，谈及你所接触过的公司产品或接受过的公司服务。
从长远看，你认为哪一家经营者是最具生存能力的，为什么？这也同样是你询问面试官的见解的好时机。
Q:What would you do if one of our competitors offered you a position?
A:I d say no.I m not interested in other players in this industry. I want to work for Nike because I won a number of races wearing the Nike brand.Because of my positive experience with Nike,I know I d be convincing selling your product to retailers.
问：为什么你准备辞去现在的工作？
答：我的兴趣在于回到银行业。我能负责很多公司的人力资源的管理工作，但我认为，作为一个贷款人的经验已为我招募新的贷款人纳入培训项目做了特别的准备。
给出2～3个你准备辞去目前这份工作的原因。集中体现你当前工作在发展方面受到的限制或缺少挑战。一定要指出为什么你相信现在这个职位会提供给你挑战的机会和你期望的另一些职责。
Q:Why are you ready to leave your current job?
A:My interest lies in returning to the banking industry.I can work in human resources management in many environments,but I believe that my experience as a lender prepares me exceptionally well for recruiting new lenders into the training program.
问：是什么促使你想从事这类工作？
答：我读书时是幸运的，我遇到了很优秀的老师，我也想成为那样的老师，他不仅仅是鼓励孩子们如何学习，而且要树立一种能激励别人也想从教的榜样。从长远来看，那是我们在教学舞台上改变我们的教育能力的最好机会。
面试官会想知道你对公司的产品和服务所抱的信心。运用个人的经验来证明你的兴趣和实力。在面试一份你理想的工作时，你的动机就是做你喜欢的事情而获得报酬。面试官会想知道你的兴趣是否和该特定的工作一致。
Q:What motivates you to do this kind of work?
A:I ve been fortunate in my own schooling;I had wonderful teachers.I want to be that same kind of teacher,who not only encourages kids to learn but also sets an example that inspires others to want to teach.In the long run,that sour bes tchance of turning around the quality of education in this state.
第二部分：动机和目的(16～18问)
问：做这份工作，你想要什么样的工资待遇？
答：据你的工作简介，上面提到你们更喜欢一个有工程学博士学位的人，我希望你能考虑我的技能符合你们的最高要求的标准这个事实。所以，我希望的是一份属于这个职位工资范围里最高的工资。你能透露一下你们的工资范围吗？
招聘者想淘汰那些金钱目标不现实的人。这个问题一针见血，它逼你对一个敏感的话题做出反应，假如你提一个太低的工资，你就显得没见识；太高了，那 你又把自己的价位定得太高或失去了讨价的机会。最好就是反问招聘者，问他这个职位的工资范围, 然后让他对比你的学历程度和这个职位一般的要求作出考虑。
Q:What salary would you expect for this job?
A:Based on your job description,which mentions that you prefer someone with a master's degree in engineering,I hope you consider the fact that my skills meet your highest
standards.Therefore,I'd expect a salary at the high end of your pay range for the position classification.Can you give me some indication of your range?
问：你可以带来什么别的人选不可能提供的新技能或新见解吗？
答：因为我已为这个行业里历史最长的一家公司工作过，我可以帮助公司避免一些我们在建立市场上所犯的错误。我认为保住主要的顾客基础比获取新的客户更为重要。 这个问题是问求职者为这份工作带来意外价值的动力。你是否仔细考虑过这份工作? 是否斟酌过当前的工作部门里存在的限制和弱点及你自己独特的能力？ 假如你和另一位人选势均力敌，不分上下，要是你能证明“我可以提供你所要求的，然后还有别的什么”，那么这份工作就是你的了。
Q:What new skills or ideas do you bring to the job that other candidates aren t likely to offer?
A:Because I ve worked with the oldest player in this industry,I can help you avoid some of the mistakes we made in our established markets.I think that retaining your core customer base is more important than securing new accounts right now .
问：前一份工作里，什么是你希望完成但却不能完成的事情？
答：我曾被一笔预算困住，以致不能实施印制广告等市场活动，我想开发互动传媒，因为那些8～25岁的人对以计算机为载体的媒体有兴趣。
回答这个问题应与回答：“为什么你准备辞去目前的工作？”用同一种方法。保持积极的态度谈及过去那份工作中你喜欢的东西和你在该工作上的才能，要避免过多地谈过去那份工作的缺陷。
Q:What would you like to accomplish that you weren't able to accomplish in your last position?
A:I was hampered by a small budget that limited our marketing efforts to print ads and other traditional resources. I'd like to explore interactive media,because the eight to twenty five year old category responds to computer based media.
第二部分：动机和目的(19～20问)
问：在过去短短的几年时间里，你的职业动机是如何变化的？
答：当我开始做销售的时候，我从没意识到假如我离开销售行业会有多大损失。现在，即使我在找一份市场工作，但我还是想找与销售领域密切相关的公 司。你们公司能吸引我的原因是你们的账户小组的概念可以使我与顾客的需求保持一致。 叙述你从过去的工作中学会的东西，特别是你的技能和本领有特别明显的表现之处，你目前的动机应该和你面试的这份工作有很大的联系。
Q:How have your career motivations changed over the past few years?
A:When I started in sales,I didn t realize how much I'd miss it if I left.N ow I want to stay close to the field organization,even though I'm looking for marketing jobs.Your firm attracts me because the account team concept would keep me in tune with customer needs. 问：我为什么要聘用你？
答：我叔叔在这个行业里有过一个小规模的制造公司，尽管他后来卖掉了它，但我
在那里工作了5个暑假，做过各种各样的临时工作。因此，我认为我是从最底层做起并了解这个行业的，且你要相信我知道作为一个工厂的经理我该学会一些什么东西。
不要重复你的简历或应聘历史，提供一个或两个例子来说明为什么你要和这家特定的公司进行交谈。什么是你用来证明你的兴趣最有力的例子呢？这个问题 通常都保留不问，但它总是在招聘者的脑子里。即使这个问题不问到，你也应该找机会在面试过程中说出来，大约就在你结束谈话的时候。
Q:Why should I hire you?
A:My uncle had a company that was a small scale manufacturer in the industry,and although he later sold the business.I worked there for five summers doing all sorts of odd jobs.For that reason I believe I know this business from the ground up,and you can be assured that I know what I d be getting into as a plant manager here.
第三部分：技能和经验(1～5问)
问：你的关键技能是什么？
答：作为高级系统分析人员工作6年以后，我拓展了大量的关键技能，包括商务模型、过程重建、软件包评价和在UNIX 和C 语言环境下的优秀编程技能。我非常高兴这些技能都是你们需要的，你想听一下我具体的工作例子吗？
谈及你的工作技能以及你如何把它们运用于这份工作上。避免陈词滥调或过分笼统，应提供具体的例子，拿你当前在任的工作或以前的工作与正在面试的这份工作作比较。 Q:What are your key skills?
A:After working six years as a senior systems analyst,I've developed a number of key skills,including business modeling,process reengineering,software package evaluation,and excellent programming skills in UNIX and Cenvironments.I was very pleased to discover that these are the skills you're seeking.Do you want to hear about specific examples of my work? 问：你的实力是什么？
答：我的实力是人际关系技巧，我通常都能使别人支持我的观点。对人我有着较好的判断力且对他们的才华和解决问题的能力有较好的直觉。这种技能在我 看来和这份工作直接相关。我知道你要求有3年的相关工作经验。虽然我的简历表明我只有两年的工作经验，但这并不代表我只上了两年和本领域相关的夜大，并在 某一专门团体里表现得比较积极。我还通过阅读企业贸易新闻来获取知识，我肯定我的综合知识和技术水平与那些有3年实际水平的人相当。眼下我还正在学习时间 管理课程，我已看到了这门课程在我目前从事的这份工作中起到的作用。
描述两三项和该工作最相关的技能。避免老生常谈或过分笼统，应提供详细的例子。描述能把这些技能运用于新职位的新方法。假如你不得不谈你缺点的 话，那就诚恳一点，但要避免露馅，避免指出那有可能成为你获得这份工作的主要障碍的缺点。例如，指出你仅有他们要求的工作经验是明智的，面试官肯定很重视 这些，你还可以解释你是如何够资格去做这份工作的。
Q:What are your strengths?
A:My strengths are interpersonal skills,and I can usually win people over to my point of
view.Also,I have good judgment about people and an intuitive sense of their talents and their ability to contribute to a given problem.These skills seem to me directly related to the job.I notice that you require three years work experience for this job.Although my resume shows that I ve only two years experience,it doesn't show that I took two evening college courses related to my field and have been active in one of the professional societies. I also try to gain knowledge by reading the industry's trade journals. I'm certain that my combined knowledge and skill level is the equivalent of that of other people who actually do have three years work experience.I'm also currently enrolled in a time management course;I can already see the effects of this course at work on my present job.
问：你的经验如何与这份工作有关呢？
答：在我目前从事的工作里，我最近完成了三项工程再设计项目。我收集了所有需要的市场数据，发展了一项测量水准项目，组成一支队伍去做评价和分析 工作。因此，我已经准备好了去解决你这项工作里列出的第一年首要的重新设计项目。在过去的工作里，我是工程设计队和新滑轮引擎仪器检测队的联系人。这些经 验有助于我与你们的技术队伍和检测队伍保持密切和谨慎的工作关系，以解决这项工作。
对比你当前从事的工作或以前的工作与这份工作的要求。相似点对于你来说是明显的，但对于招聘者来说却未必。如果需要的话可就这份工作提出问题，使面试官接受你的理论依据。
Q:How is your experience relevant to this job?
A:In my current job I've recently completed three reengineering projects.I gathered all the necessary market data,developed a benchmarking program,and put together a team to do the evaluation and analysis.As a result I'm ready to tackle the major re engineering project that you ve listed as the priorty of this job during the first year.In my past job I was the liaison between the project engineering group and the instrumentation group in the testing of a new turbo engine.This experience will also help me tackle this job,which involves a close and careful working relationship between your technical group and your field testing group.
问：对于这项工作你认为什么技能是最重要的?
答：评价你们所有新产品的规则和竞争要求的能力是重要的。在我最近的工作里，作为市场策划者和政策调整分析员已获得了大量的经验，我的第一份工作也是一样。
描述你过去的工作经验与这份工作最相关的地方，对比你当前从事的工作或以前的工作与这份工作的要求。
Q:What skills do you think are most critical to this job? A:The ability to evaluate all of the regulatory and competitive requirements for your new product are critical.I've had considerable experience in this area as a strategic marketing and regulatory policy analyst in my most recent job,and also in my first job.
问：你在这份工作里想提高什么技能？
答：我希望提高我的谈判技巧。我在翻译合同和实施合同上都有大量的经验，但对谈判主要合同的实际条件、要价、标准等事项，我的经验有限。我相信这份工作能提供机会让我成为谈判队伍里的一员，使我有机会获得一些必要的技能来领导这个队伍。
叙述你在目前就任的工作中还不能充分施展的几项才能。例如：因为你的上司计划在他的工作岗位上至少还要干5年，所以你负责管理整个部门的机会就可能受到妨碍。 Q:What skills would you like to develop in this job?
A:I'd like to develop my negotiating skills.I've had considerable experience interpreting and implementing large contracts,but I ve been limited in negotiating the actual
conditions,costs,and standards for a major contract.I believe this job will offer me the opportunity to be a member of a negotiating team and thereby to begin acquiring the skills necessary to lead the team.
第三部分：技能和经验(6～10问
问：假如你不得不留在你目前就任的职位上，你会多花一点时间在什么方面？为什么？
答：如果我还干这份工作，我宁愿获得更多有关劳资谈判的经验，特别是我想帮助谈判劳动合同，解决4级程度冤情，准备提请仲裁。我在人力资源所有其 他方面的背景资料都比较牢固，我相信劳动关系经验能使我的技能更丰富完善，以使我将来能有机会上升到部门领导或副经理的位置。
你对你的工作最感兴趣的是什么？叙述大量的任务给了你最大的满足。此外，表明你有兴趣提高工作的等级，处于领导位置上等。
Q:If you had to stay in your current job,what would you spend more time on?Why? A:If stay in my current job,I d like to gain more e xperience in labor negotiating.In particular,I'd like to help negotiate labor contracts,resolve grievances at the step 4 level,and prepare grievances for arbitration.My background in all other areas of human resources is strong,and I believe labor relations experience will round out my skills so that I can have the opportunity to move up as a department head or a vice president in the future.
问：你如何丰富你目前就任的工作？
答：回想1993年时，我是一家电报和无线电公司的研究助理。正当我们取得飞速发展时，我们的价格分析员为了另一份好工作突然辞职了。在找人填补 他位置的过程中，我协助完成了几个主要的政府项目之一。我常加班加点，并且努力学习，并使这个项目获得肯定。我因此而受到赞扬，并被告知我将纳入下次举办 的价格 小组。
展示一项能不断地为你的工作增值的能力。有什么新的机会能挑战你的技能和智力？面试官想确信你不会对你的工作感到厌倦或对之不抱幻想。
Q:How could you enrich your current job?
A:When I was a research assistant for the cable and wireless company back in ninety three,at a time when we were experiencing rapid growth,our pricing analyst abruptly resigned for a better job.During the search to fill his position,I volunteered to help out with one of the major government projects.I worked considerable overtime,studied on my own,and helped bring the project to conclusion.I was commended for my effort and was told I d be in line for the next opening in the pricing group.
问：你对你的成功如何解释？
答：我从来都不假定我的顾客满意我们的产品，所以我总是尽力跟踪每一位顾客。 顾客对我们产品的质量和性能提供了很好的见解，顾客们同样也很赏识这种追踪调查，特别是有些事情处理不当的时候，你还有机会及时纠正。另外，我能传递信息给我们的设计和生产单位去帮它们改善工序和提高产量。
说话要坦率但不能自大。提起一些别人对你工作能力或才华的评价。这个问题与“什么使你与众不同？”问法很相似。
Q:How do you explain your job successes?
A:I never assume our customers are satisfied with our product, so I do my best to follow up with every customer.This feedback has provided valuable insight into the quality and characteristics of our products.The customer,as well,always appreciates this follow up,especially when something hasn't gone right and you still have the opportunity to correct it on a timely basis.In addition,I m able to pass on information to our design and production units to help improve both process and product.
问：和同领域里背景相似的人比较，你如何评价自己？
答：在全国所有的销售员队伍里我一直排在前10%。我为一家国有新闻刊物推销广告版面，我的顾客代表了全美国的主要大型广告代理。我总是喜欢把产 品卖给广告代理执行部门的这种挑战，因为它们总是定一个高的标准，并且真正了解我们的产品。这最充分地显示了我爱竞争的天性。我在我的出版公司和行业里一 直都是名列前茅的。
诚恳而自信，但不要骄傲自大。为你的回答提供清楚、有说服力的理由。如果你在全国销售领域里排在前10%，那么这是提出来的好时机！
Q:Compared to others with a similar background in your field,how would you rate yourself?
A:I ve been consistently ranked in the top 10 percent nationally for all salespeople in my field.I sell advertising space for a national news publication.My clients are primarily large and agencies that represent corporate in America.I've always enjoyed the challenge of selling to advertising agency executives because they always set high standards and really know our product well.This brings out the very best in my competitive nature,and I'm consistently at the top,both within my publishing company and within the industry.
问：你的写作能力有多强？
答：在我获得了工商管理硕士之后，我就真正集中精力进一步提高我的写作技巧。我参加过一个企业家培训班，其主要任务是拓展、拟写和不断改写一个非常复杂的商业计划。 一个极好的回答，准备一个商业计划或类似的东西展示给招聘者看。在面试后把这份商业计划留下给招聘者。招聘者可能正在寻找一个有写作能力的人选，特别是需要大量写作的工种，如财政分析者或撰稿人。
Q:How good are your writing abilities?
A:I really concentrated on further developing my writing skills while I got my MBA.I took an entrepreneurial class in which the chief assignment was developing,writing,and continually rewriting a very involved business plan.
第三部分：技能和经验(11～12问
问：你认为一个助理编辑的广泛职责是什么？
答：我肯定不同的公司有不同的责任要求，但最基本的是，一个助理编辑要会打字、文件归档和一般的行政工作。也许还要阅读书籍和写书评，写退稿信，与作者进行一些简单的书信交流，还有协助编辑处理需要完成的工作。
面试官可能会以这种或者那种形式问你这个问题。这个问题与“在你以前的那份工作中，你的愿望与现实有什么相异之处？”那个问题很相似，但更巧妙一 点。虽然从根本上
说，这两个问题都是在确定同一样东西，但是这种提问形式更巧妙一点。许多首次应聘者对他们的公司抱有幻想，而且对于从事平凡的抄写员的工 作感到意外与不快。雇主想确信你对该工作抱有现实的态度，还有你会愉快地在那个职位上工作好几年。
Q:What would you say are the broad responsibilities of an editorial assistant?
A:Though I m sure it varies from company to company, I think it would b e safe to say that being an editorial assistant involves a lot of typing, filing, and general administrative work. I would probably be expected to read and evaluate book proposals, write manuscript rejection letters, have some limited correspondence with authors, and generally assist the editor in whatever needed to be done.
问：你熟知什么电脑系统和软件？
答：我用过装有办公软件的个人电脑，软件包括WORD 、WORDPERFECT 、LOTUS 123和EXCEL 。同样我也有使用MACINTOSH 系统的经验。通过对电脑网络的研究，我已对局域网熟悉起来。我们使用某公司的电脑系统和软件，它们 就培训我们如何排解一些基本的故障问题。
在今天的商业环境里，电脑操作能力是必需的。WORD 文字处理程序和EXCEL 电子制表经验是必要的，熟悉数据库的操作或制图程序也一样有用。大 多数行业使用PC 机，但很多创新型领域，如出版业和广告业就使用MACINTOSH 。假如你正在面试这个领域里的一家公司，你会发现熟悉MACS 的好处。
Q:What computer systems and software do you know?
A:I ve used PCs with general office software such as Microsoft Word fo r Windows,WordPerfect,Lotus123,and Excel.I have some experience with Macintosh systems as well. And through my search for a computer network,I've gained some familiarity with local networks;the computer company we used trained me on basic troubleshooting issues.
