General Guidelines
in Answering Interview Questions
Everyone is nervous on interviews. If you simply allow yourself to feel nervous, you'll do much better. Remember also that it's difficult for the interviewer as well.
In general, be upbeat and positive. Never be negative.
Rehearse your answers and time them. Never talk for more than 2 minutes straight.
Don't try to memorize answers word for word. Use the answers shown here as a guide only, and don't be afraid to include your own thoughts and words. To help you remember key concepts, jot down and review a few key words for each answer. Rehearse your answers frequently, and they will come to you naturally in interviews.
As you will read in the accompanying report, the single most important strategy in interviewing, as in all phases of your job search, is what we call: "The Greatest Executive Job Finding Secret." And that is...
Find out what people want, than show them how you can help them get it.
Find out what an employer wants most in his or her ideal candidate, then show how you meet those qualifications.
In other words, you must match your abilities, with the needs of the employer. You must sell what the buyer is buying. To do that, before you know what to emphasize in your answers, you must find out what the buyer is buying... what he is looking for. And the best way to do that is to ask a few questions yourself.
You will see how to bring this off skillfully as you read the first two questions of this report. But regardless of how you accomplish it, you must remember this strategy above all: before blurting out your qualifications, you must get some idea of what the employer wants most. Once you know what he wants, you can then present your qualifications as the perfect “key” that fits the “lock” of that position.
?Other important interview strategies:
?Turn weaknesses into strengths (You'll see how to do this in a few moments.) ?Think before you answer. A pause to collect your thoughts is a hallmark of a thoughtful person.
As a daily exercise, practice being more optimistic. For example, try putting a positive spin on events and situations you would normally regard as negative. This is not meant to turn you into a Pollyanna, but to sharpen your selling skills. The best salespeople, as well as the best liked interview candidates, come off as being naturally optimistic, "can do" people. You will dramatically raise your level of attractiveness by daily practicing to be more optimistic.
Be honest...never lie.
Keep an interview diary. Right after each interview note what you did right, what could have gone a little better, and what steps you should take next with this contact. Then take those steps. Don't be like the 95% of humanity who say they will follow up on something, but never do.
About the 64 questions...
You might feel that the answers to the following questions are “canned”, and that they will seldom match up with the exact way you are asked the questions in actual interviews. The questions and answers are designed to be as specific and realistic as possible. But no preparation can anticipate thousands of possible variations on these questions. What's important is that you thoroughly familiarize yourself with the main strategies behind each answer. And it will be invaluable to you if you commit to memory a few key words that let you instantly call to mind your best answer to the various questions. If you do this, and follow the principles of successful interviewing presented here, you're going to do very well.
Good luck...and good job-hunting!
Question 1 Tell me about yourself.
TRAPS: Beware, about 80% of all interviews begin with this “innocent” question. Many candidates, unprepared for the question, skewer themselves by rambling, recapping
their life story, delving into ancient work history or personal matters.
BEST ANSWER: Start with the present and tell why you are well qualified for the
position. Remember that the key to all successful interviewing is to match your
qualifications to what the interviewer is looking for. In other words you must sell what the buyer is buying. This is the single most important strategy in job hunting.
So, before you answer this or any question it's imperative that you try to uncover your interviewer's greatest need, want, problem or goal.
To do so, make you take these two steps:
1. Do all the homework you can before the interview to uncover this person's wants
and needs (not the generalized needs of the industry or company)
2. As early as you can in the interview, ask for a more complete description of what
the position entails. You might say: “I have a number of accomplishments I'd like
to tell you about, but I want to make the best use of our time together and talk
directly to your needs. To help me do, that, could you tell me more about the
most important priorities of this position? All I know is what I (heard from the
recruiter, read in the classified ad, etc.)”
Then, ALWAYS follow-up with a second and possibly, third question, to draw out his needs even more. Surprisingly, it's usually this second or third question that unearths what the interviewer is most looking for.
You might ask simply, "And in addition to that?..." or, "Is there anything else you see as essential to success in this position?:
This process will not feel easy or natural at first, because it is easier simply to answer questions, but only if you uncover the employer's wants and needs will your answers make the most sense. Practice asking these key questions before giving your answers, the process will feel more natural and you will be light years ahead of the other job
candidates you're competing with.
After uncovering what the employer is looking for, describe why the needs of this job
bear striking parallels to tasks you've succeeded at before. Be sure to illustrate with
specific examples of your responsibilities and especially your achievements, all of which are geared to present yourself as a perfect match for the needs he has just described.
Question 2 What are your greatest strengths?
TRAPS: This question seems like a softball lob, but be prepared. You don't want to
come across as egotistical or arrogant. Neither is this a time to be humble.
BEST ANSWER: You know that your key strategy is to first uncover your interviewer's greatest wants and needs before you answer questions. And from Question 1, you know how to do this.
Prior to any interview, you should have a list mentally prepared of your greatest
strengths. You should also have, a specific example or two, which illustrates each
strength, an example chosen from your most recent and most impressive achievements.
You should, have this list of your greatest strengths and corresponding examples from your achievements so well committed to memory that you can recite them cold after
being shaken awake at 2:30AM.
Then, once you uncover your interviewer's greatest wants and needs, you can choose those achievements from your list that best match up.
As a general guideline, the 10 most desirable traits that all employers love to see in their employees are:
1. A proven track record as an achiever...especially if your achievements match
up with the employer's greatest wants and needs.
2. Intelligence...management "savvy".
3. Honesty...integrity...a decent human being.
4. Good fit with corporate culture...someone to feel comfortable with...a team
player who meshes well with interviewer's team.
5. Likeability...positive attitude...sense of humor.
skills.
communication
6. Good
7. Dedication...willingness to walk the extra mile to achieve excellence.
8. Definiteness of purpose...clear goals.
9. Enthusiasm...high level of motivation.
10. Confident...healthy...a leader.
Question 3 What are your greatest weaknesses?
TRAPS: Beware - this is an eliminator question, designed to shorten the candidate list.
Any admission of a weakness or fault will earn you an “A” for honesty, but an “F” for the interview.
PASSABLE ANSWER: Disguise a strength as a weakness.
Example: “I sometimes push my people too hard. I like to work with a sense of urgency and everyone is not always on the same wavelength.”
Drawback: This strategy is better than admitting a flaw, but it's so widely used, it is
transparent to any experienced interviewer.
BEST ANSWER: (and another reason it's so important to get a thorough description of your interviewer's needs before you answer questions): Assure the interviewer that you can think of nothing that would stand in the way of your performing in this position with excellence. Then, quickly review you strongest qualifications.
Example: “Nobody's perfect, but based on what you've told me about this position, I
believe I' d make an outstanding match. I know that when I hire people, I look for two
things most of all. Do they have the qualifications to do the job well, and the motivation to do it well? Everything in my background shows I have both the qualifications and a strong desire to achieve excellence in whatever I take on. So I can say in all honesty that
I see nothing that would cause you even a small concern about my ability or my strong
desire to perform this job with excellence.”
Alternate strategy (if you don't yet know enough about the position to talk about such a perfect fit):
Instead of confessing a weakness, describe what you like most and like least, making sure that what you like most matches up with the most important qualification for
success in the position, and what you like least is not essential.
Example: Let's say you're applying for a teaching position. “If given a choice, I like to
spend as much time as possible in front of my prospects selling, as opposed to shuffling paperwork back at the office. Of course, I long ago learned the importance of filing
paperwork properly, and I do it conscientiously. But what I really love to do is sell (if your interviewer were a sales manager, this should be music to his ears.)
Question 4 Tell me about something you did – or failed to do – that
you now feel a little ashamed of.
TRAPS: There are some questions your interviewer has no business asking, and this is one. But while you may feel like answering, “none of your business,” naturally you can’t.
Some interviewers ask this question on the chance you admit to something, but if not, at least they’ll see how you think on your feet.
Some unprepared candidates, flustered by this question, unburden themselves of guilt from their personal life or career, perhaps expressing regrets regarding a parent,
spouse, child, etc. All such answers can be disastrous.
BEST ANSWER: As with faults and weaknesses, never confess a regret. But don’t
seem as if you’re stonewalling either.
Best strategy: Say you harbor no regrets, then add a principle or habit you practice
regularly for healthy human relations.
Example: Pause for reflection, as if the question never occurred to you. Then say, “You know, I really can’t think of anything.” (Pause again, then add): “I would add that as a general management principle, I’ve found that the best way to avoid regrets is to avoid causing them in the first place. I practice one habit that helps me a great deal in this
regard. At the end of each day, I mentally review the day’s events and conversations to take a second look at the people and developments I’m involved with and do a
doublecheck of what they’re likely to be feeling. Sometimes I’ll see things that do need more follow-up, whether a pat on the back, or maybe a five minute chat in someone’s office to make sure we’re clear on things…whatever.”
“I also like to make each person feel like a member of an elite team, like the Boston
Celtics or LA Lakers in their prime. I’ve found that if you let each team member know you expect excellence in their performance…if you work hard to set an example
yourself…and if you let people know you appreciate and respect their feelings, you wind up with a highly motivated group, a team that’s having fun at work because they’re
striving for excellence rather than brooding over slights or regrets.”
Question 5 Why are you leaving (or did you leave) this position?
TRAPS: Never badmouth your previous industry, company, board, boss, staff,
employees or customers. This rule is inviolable: never be negative. Any mud you hurl will only soil your suit.
Especially avoid words like “personality clash”, “didn’t get along”, or others which cast a shadow on your competence, integrity, or temperament.
BEST ANSWER:
(If you have a job presently)
If you’re not yet 100% committed to leaving your present post, don’t be afraid to say so.
Since you have a job, you are in a stronger position than someone who does not. But don’t be coy either. State honestly what you’d be hoping to find in a new spot. Of
course, as stated often before, you answer will all the stronger if you have already
uncovered what this position is all about and you match your desires to it.
(If you do not presently have a job.)
Never lie about having been fired. It’s unethical – and too easily checked. But do try to deflect the reason from you personally. If your firing was the result of a takeover,
merger, division wide layoff, etc., so much the better.
But you should also do something totally unnatural that will demonstrate consummate professionalism. Even if it hurts , describe your own firing – candidly, succinctly and
without a trace of bitterness – from the company’s point-of-view, indicating that you
could understand why it happened and you might have made the same decision
yourself.
Your stature will rise immensely and, most important of all, you will show you are healed from the wounds inflicted by the firing. You will enhance your image as first-class
management material and stand head and shoulders above the legions of firing victims who, at the slightest provocation, zip open their shirts to expose their battle scars and decry the unfairness of it all.
For all prior positions:
Make sure you’ve prepared a brief reason for leaving. Best reasons: more money,
opportunity, responsibility or growth.
Question 6 The “Silent Treatment”
TRAPS:Beware – if you are unprepared for this question, you will probably not handle it right and possibly blow the interview. Thank goodness most interviewers don’t employ it. It’s normally used by those determined to see how you respond under stress. Here’s how it works:
You answer an interviewer’s question and then, instead of asking another, he just stares at you in a deafening silence.
You wait, growing a bit uneasy, and there he sits, silent as Mt. Rushmore, as if he
doesn’t believe what you’ve just said, or perhaps making you feel that you’ve unwittingly violated some cardinal rule of interview etiquette.
When you get this silent treatment after answering a particularly difficult question , such as “tell me about your weaknesses”, its intimidating effect can be most disquieting, even to polished job hunters.
Most unprepared candidates rush in to fill the void of silence, viewing prolonged,
uncomfortable silences as an invitation to clear up the previous answer which has
obviously caused some problem. And that’s what they do – ramble on, sputtering more and more information, sometimes irrelevant and often damaging, because they are
suddenly playing the role of someone who’s goofed and is now trying to recoup. But
since the candidate doesn’t know where or how he goofed, he just keeps talking,
showing how flustered and confused he is by the interviewer’s unmovable silence.
BEST ANSWER: Like a primitive tribal mask, the Silent Treatment loses all it power to frighten you once you refuse to be intimidated. If your interviewer pulls it, keep quiet
yourself for a while and then ask, with sincere politeness and not a trace of sarcasm, “Is there anything else I can fill in on that point?” That’s all there is to it.
Whatever you do, don’t let the Silent Treatment intimidate you into talking a blue streak, because you could easily talk yourself out of the position.
Question 7 Why should I hire you?
TRAPS: Believe it or not, this is a killer question because so many candidates are
unprepared for it. If you stammer or adlib you’ve blown it.
BEST ANSWER: By now you can see how critical it is to apply the overall strategy of uncovering the employer’s needs before you answer questions. If you know the
employer’s greatest needs and desires, this question will give you a big leg up over other candidates because you will give him better reasons for hiring you than anyone else is likely to…reasons tied directly to his needs.
Whether your interviewer asks you this question explicitly or not, this is the most
important question of your interview because he must answer this question favorably in is own mind before you will be hired. So help him out! Walk through each of the
position’s requirements as you understand them, and follow each with a reason why you meet that requirement so well.
Example: “As I understand your needs, you are first and foremost looking for someone who can manage the sales and marketing of your book publishing division. As you’ve said you need someone with a strong background in trade book sales. This is where I’ve spent almost all of my career, so I’ve chalked up 18 years of experience exactly in this area. I believe that I know the right contacts, methods, principles, and successful management techniques as well as any person can in our industry.”
“You also need someone who can expand your book distribution channels. In my prior post, my innovative promotional ideas doubled, then tripled, the number of outlets selling our books. I’m confident I can do the same for you.”
“You need someone to give a new shot in the arm to your mail order sales, someone
who knows how to sell in space and direct mail media. Here, too, I believe I have
exactly the experience you need. In the last five years, I’ve increased our mail order
book sales from $600,000 to $2,800,000, and now we’re the country’s second leading marketer of scientific and medical books by mail.” Etc., etc., etc.,
Every one of these selling “couplets” (his need matched by your qualifications) is a
touchdown that runs up your score. IT is your best opportunity to outsell your
competition.
Question 8 Aren’t you overqualified for this position?
TRAPS: The employer may be concerned that you’ll grow dissatisfied and leave.
BEST ANSWER: As with any objection, don’t view this as a sign of imminent defeat.
It’s an invitation to teach the interviewer a new way to think about this situation, seeing advantages instead of drawbacks.
Example: “I recognize the job market for what it is – a marketplace. Like any
marketplace, it’s subject to the laws of supply and demand. So ‘overqualified’ can be a relative term, depending on how tight the job market is. And right now, it’s very tight. I understand and accept that.”
“I also believe that there could be very positive benefits for both of us in this match.”
“Because of my unusually strong experience in ________________ , I could start to
contribute right away, perhaps much faster than someone who’d have to be brought
along more slowly.”
“There’s also the value of all the training and years of experience that other companies have invested tens of thousands of dollars to give me. You’d be getting all the value of that without having to pay an extra dime for it. With someone who has yet to acquire that experience, he’d have to gain it on your nickel.”
“I could also help you in many things they don’t teach at the Harvard Business School.
For example…(how to hire, train, motivate, etc.) When it comes to knowing how to work well with people and getting the most out of them, there’s just no substitute for what you learn over many years of front-line experience. You company would gain all this, too.”
“From my side, there are strong benefits, as well. Right now, I am unemployed. I want to work, very much, and the position you have here is exactly what I love to do and am best at. I’ll be happy doing this work and that’s what matters most to me, a lot more that money or title.”
“Most important, I’m looking to make a long term commitment in my career now. I’ve had enough of job-hunting and want a permanent spot at this point in my career. I also know that if I perform this job with excellence, other opportunities cannot help but open up for me right here. In time, I’ll find many other ways to help this company and in so doing, help myself. I really am looking to make a long-term commitment.”
NOTE: The main concern behind the “overqualified” question is that you will leave your new employer as soon as something better comes your way. Anything you can say to demonstrate the sincerity of your commitment to the employer and reassure him that
you’re looking to stay for the long-term will help you overcome this objection. Question 9 Where do you see yourself five years from now?
TRAPS: One reason interviewers ask this question is to see if you’re settling for this
position, using it merely as a stopover until something better comes along. Or they
could be trying to gauge your level of ambition.
If you’re too specific, i.e., naming the promotions you someday hope to win, you’ll sound presumptuous. If you’re too vague, you’ll seem rudderless.
BEST ANSWER: Reassure your interviewer that you’re looking to make a long-term commitment…that this position entails exactly what you’re looking to do and what you do extremely well. As for your future, you believe that if you perform each job at hand with excellence, future opportunities will take care of themselves.
Example: “I am definitely interested in making a long-term commitment to my next
position. Judging by what you’ve told me about this position, it’s exactly what I’m looking for and what I am very well qualified to do. In terms of my future career path, I’m
confident that if I do my work with excellence, opportunities will inevitable open up for me. It’s always been that way in my career, and I’m confident I’ll have similar
opportunities here.”
Question 10 Describe your ideal company, location and job.
TRAPS: This is often asked by an experienced interviewer who thinks you may be
overqualified, but knows better than to show his hand by posing his objection directly.
So he’ll use this question instead, which often gets a candidate to reveal that, indeed, he or she is looking for something other than the position at hand.
BEST ANSWER: The only right answer is to describe what this company is offering, being sure to make your answer believable with specific reasons, stated with sincerity, why each quality represented by this opportunity is attractive to you.
Remember that if you’re coming from a company that’s the leader in its field or from a glamorous or much admired company, industry, city or position, your interviewer and his company may well have an “Avis” complex. That is, they may feel a bit defensive about being “second best” to the place you’re coming from, worried that you may consider
them bush league.
This anxiety could well be there even though you’ve done nothing to inspire it. You must go out of your way to assuage such anxiety, even if it’s not expressed, by putting their virtues high on the list of exactly what you’re looking for, providing credible reason for wanting these qualities.
If you do not express genuine enthusiasm for the firm, its culture, location, industry, etc., you may fail to answer this “Avis” complex objection and, as a result, leave the
interviewer suspecting that a hot shot like you, coming from a Fortune 500 company in New York, just wouldn’t be happy at an unknown manufacturer based in Topeka,
Kansas.
Question 11 Why do you want to work at our company?
TRAPS: This question tests whether you’ve done any homework about the firm. If you haven’t, you lose. If you have, you win big.
BEST ANSWER: This question is your opportunity to hit the ball out of the park, thanks to the in-depth research you should do before any interview.
Best sources for researching your target company: annual reports, the corporate
newsletter, contacts you know at the company or its suppliers, advertisements, articles about the company in the trade press.
Question 12 What are your career options right now?
TRAPS: The interviewer is trying to find out, “How desperate are you?”
BEST ANSWER: Prepare for this question by thinking of how you can position yourself as a desired commodity. If you are still working, describe the possibilities at your
present firm and why, though you’re greatly appreciated there, you’re looking for
something more (challenge, money, responsibility, etc.). Also mention that you’re
seriously exploring opportunities with one or two other firms.
If you’re not working, you can talk about other employment possibilities you’re actually exploring. But do this with a light touch, speaking only in general terms. You don’t want to seem manipulative or coy.
Question 13 Why have you been out of work so long?
TRAPS: A tough question if you’ve been on the beach a long time. You don’t want to seem like damaged goods.
BEST ANSWER: You want to emphasize factors which have prolonged your job search by your own choice.
Example: “After my job was terminated, I made a conscious decision not to jump on the first opportunities to come along. In my life, I’ve found out that you can always turn a negative into a positive IF you try hard enough. This is what I determined to do. I
decided to take whatever time I needed to think through what I do best, what I most want to do, where I’d like to do it…and then identify those companies that could offer such an opportunity.”
“Also, in all honesty, you have to factor in the recession (consolidation, stabilization, etc.) in the (banking, financial services, manufacturing, advertising, etc.) industry.”
“So between my being selective and the companies in our industry downsizing, the
process has taken time. But in the end, I’m convinced that when I do find the right
match, all that careful evaluation from both sides of the desk will have been well
worthwhile for both the company that hires me and myself.
Question 14 Tell me honestly about the strong points and weak
points of your boss (company, management team,
etc.)…
TRAPS: Skillfull interviewers sometimes make it almost irresistible to open up and air a little dirty laundry from your previous position. DON’T
BEST ANSWER: Remember the rule: Never be negative. Stress only the good points, no matter how charmingly you’re invited to be critical.
Your interviewer doesn’t care a whit about your previous boss. He wants to find out how loyal and positive you are, and whether you’ll criticize him behind his back if pressed to do so by someone in this own company. This question is your opportunity to
demonstrate your loyalty to those you work with.
Question 15 What good books have you read lately?
TRAPS: As in all matters of your interview, never fake familiarity you don’t have. Yet you don’t want to seem like a dullard who hasn’t read a book since Tom Sawyer.
BEST ANSWER: Unless you’re up for a position in academia or as book critic for The New York Times, you’re not expected to be a literary lion. But it wouldn’t hurt to have read a handful of the most recent and influential books in your profession and on
management.
Consider it part of the work of your job search to read up on a few of these leading
books. But make sure they are quality books that reflect favorably upon you, nothing
that could even remotely be considered superficial. Finally, add a recently published
bestselling work of fiction by a world-class author and you’ll pass this question with flying colors.
Question 16 Tell me about a situation when your work was
criticized.
TRAPS: This is a tough question because it’s a more clever and subtle way to get you to admit to a weakness. You can’t dodge it by pretending you’ve never been criticized.
Everybody has been. Yet it can be quite damaging to start admitting potential faults and failures that you’d just as soon leave buried.
This question is also intended to probe how well you accept criticism and direction.
BEST ANSWERS: Begin by emphasizing the extremely positive feedback you’ve gotten throughout your career and (if it’s true) that your performance reviews have been
uniformly excellent.
Of course, no one is perfect and you always welcome suggestions on how to improve your performance. Then, give an example of a not-too-damaging learning experience from early in your career and relate the ways this lesson has since helped you. This
demonstrates that you learned from the experience and the lesson is now one of the
strongest breastplates in your suit of armor.
If you are pressed for a criticism from a recent position, choose something fairly trivial that in no way is essential to your successful performance. Add that you’ve learned from this, too, and over the past several years/months, it’s no longer an area of concern
because you now make it a regular practice to…etc.
Another way to answer this question would be to describe your intention to broaden your master of an area of growing importance in your field. For example, this might be a
computer program you’ve been meaning to sit down and learn… a new management technique you’ve read about…or perhaps attending a seminar on some cutting-edge
branch of your profession.
Again, the key is to focus on something not essential to your brilliant performance but which adds yet another dimension to your already impressive knowledge base.
Question 17 What are your outside interests?
TRAPS: You want to be a well-rounded, not a drone. But your potential employer
would be even more turned off if he suspects that your heavy extracurricular load will interfere with your commitment to your work duties.
BEST ANSWERS: Try to gauge how this company’s culture would look upon your
favorite outside activities and be guided accordingly.
You can also use this question to shatter any stereotypes that could limit your chances.
If you’re over 50, for example, describe your activities that demonstrate physical
stamina. If you’re young, mention an activity that connotes wisdom and institutional
trust, such as serving on the board of a popular charity.
But above all, remember that your employer is hiring your for what you can do for him, not your family, yourself or outside organizations, no matter how admirable those
activities may be.
Question 18 The “Fatal Flaw” question
TRAPS: If an interviewer has read your resume carefully, he may try to zero in on a “fatal flaw” of your candidacy, perhaps that you don’t have a college degree…you’ve been out of the job market for some time…you never earned your CPA, etc.
A fatal flaw question can be deadly, but usually only if you respond by being overly
defensive.
BEST ANSWERS: As every master salesperson knows, you will encounter objections (whether stated or merely thought) in every sale. They’re part and parcel of the buyer’s anxiety. The key is not to exacerbate the buyer’s anxiety but diminish it. Here’s how…
Whenever you come up against a fatal flaw question:
1. Be completely honest, open and straightforward about admitting the
shortcoming. (Showing you have nothing to hide diminishes the buyer’s
anxiety.)
not apologize or try to explain it away. You know that this supposed flaw
2. Do
is nothing to be concerned about, and this is the attitude you want your
interviewer to adopt as well.
3. Add that as desirable as such a qualification might be, its lack has made you
work all the harder throughout your career and has not prevented you from
compiling an outstanding tack record of achievements. You might even give
examples of how, through a relentless commitment to excellence, you have
consistently outperformed those who do have this qualification.
Of course, the ultimate way to handle “fatal flaw” questions is to prevent them from
arising in the first place. You will do that by following the master strategy described in Question 1, i.e., uncovering the employers needs and them matching your qualifications to those needs.
Once you’ve gotten the employer to start talking about his most urgently-felt wants and goals for the position, and then help him see in step-by-step fashion how perfectly your background and achievements match up with those needs, you’re going to have one
very enthusiastic interviewer on your hands, one who is no longer looking for “fatal
flaws”.
Question 19 How do you feel about reporting to a younger person
(minority, woman, etc)?
TRAPS: It’s a shame that some interviewers feel the need to ask this question, but
many understand the reality that prejudices still exist among some job candidates, and it’s better to try to flush them out beforehand.
The trap here is that in today’s politically sensitized environment, even a well-intentioned answer can result in planting your foot neatly in your mouth. Avoid anything which
smacks of a patronizing or an insensitive attitude, such as “I think they make terrific
bosses” or “Hey, some of my best friends are…”
Of course, since almost anyone with an IQ above room temperature will at least try to steadfastly affirm the right answer here, your interviewer will be judging your sincerity
most of all. “Do you really feel that way?” is what he or she will be wondering.
So you must make your answer believable and not just automatic. If the firm is wise
enough to have promoted peopled on the basis of ability alone, they’re likely quite proud of it, and prefer to hire others who will wholeheartedly share their strong sense of fair
play.
BEST ANSWER: You greatly admire a company that hires and promotes on merit alone and you couldn’t agree more with that philosophy. The age (gender, race, etc.) of the person you report to would certainly make no difference to you.
Whoever has that position has obviously earned it and knows their job well. Both the person and the position are fully deserving of respect. You believe that all people in a company, from the receptionist to the Chairman, work best when their abilities, efforts and feelings are respected and rewarded fairly, and that includes you. That’s the best type of work environment you can hope to find.
Question 20 On confidential matters…
TRAPS: When an interviewer presses you to reveal confidential information about a
present or former employer, you may feel it’s a no-win situation. If you cooperate, you could be judged untrustworthy. If you don’t, you may irritate the interviewer and seem obstinate, uncooperative or overly suspicious.
BEST ANSWER: Your interviewer may press you for this information for two reasons.
First, many companies use interviews to research the competition. It’s a perfect set-up.
Here in their own lair, is an insider from the enemy camp who can reveal prized
information on the competition’s plans, research, financial condition, etc.
Second, the company may be testing your integrity to see if you can be cajoled or bullied into revealing confidential data.
What to do? The answer here is easy. Never reveal anything truly confidential about a present or former employer. By all means, explain your reticence diplomatically. For example, “I certainly want to be as open as I can about that. But I also wish to respect the rights of those who have trusted me with their most sensitive information, just as you would hope to be able to trust any of your key people when talking with a competitor…”
And certainly you can allude to your finest achievements in specific ways that don’t
reveal the combination to the company safe.
But be guided by the golden rule. If you were the owner of your present company, would you feel it ethically wrong for the information to be given to your competitors? If so,
steadfastly refuse to reveal it.
Remember that this question pits your desire to be cooperative against your integrity.
Faced with any such choice, always choose integrity. It is a far more valuable
commodity than whatever information the company may pry from you. Moreover, once you surrender the information, your stock goes down. They will surely lose respect for you.
One President we know always presses candidates unmercifully for confidential
information. If he doesn’t get it, he grows visibly annoyed, relentlessly inquisitive, It’s all an act. He couldn’t care less about the information. This is his way of testing the
candidate’s moral fiber. Only those who hold fast are hired.
Question 21 Would you lie for the company?
TRAPS: This another question that pits two values against one another, in this case
loyalty against integrity.
BEST ANSWER: Try to avoid choosing between two values, giving a positive statement which covers all bases instead.
Example: “I would never do anything to hurt the company..”
If aggressively pressed to choose between two competing values, always choose
personal integrity. It is the most prized of all values.
Question 22 Looking back, what would you do differently in your
life?
TRAPS: This question is usually asked to uncover any life-influencing mistakes, regrets, disappointments or problems that may continue to affect your personality and
performance.

4、语言简洁 每个人的面试时间都不会太长。因此，求职者都会想方设法在规定的时间内尽可能多展现出自己的才能。但求职者在推销自己的同时，还是要记住中国的一句老话言多必失。 面试的目的是了解你简历上不能体现的能力，面试官的目的非常明确，因此，你在推销自己时切忌滔滔不绝、喋喋不休，尽量做到语言明确简洁。 5、盲目推卸责任 很多跳槽者在面对雇主你为什么要离开原来的公司这一问题时，往往会直接把原因归功于原单位的不是，比如薪水过低、原雇主不能知人善任、同事间勾心斗角等，并极力赞扬新雇主如何如何好，以博得面试官的好感。 事实上，在面试官眼里这种盲目推卸责任的做法，直接反应出面试者不念旧情和不懂得与人相处的缺点，而使得面试官产生反感情绪，失去面试成功的机会。 很多人以为语言是人与人交流的唯一途径，其实不然，尤其在面试中，除了面试提问与回答的沟通方式，非语言交流也是不可忽视的面试技巧，如何把握面试中的非语言交流技巧呢? 非语言沟通在面试中的重要作用 非语言交流是指通过身体动作、体态、语气语调、空间距离等方式交流信息、进行沟通的过程。在面试中，语言沟通无疑是影响面试成功

外企面试最常见的八大 英文问题 Company number：【WTUT-WT88Y-W8BBGB-BWYTT-19998】
外企面试最常见的八大英文问题 Tag： 很多人从接到面试通知的电话起，心里就开始紧张，不用说想到要用英语面试、老外老板亲切却又让人紧张的微笑、看似简单而又机关重重的问题……其实，只要提前准备一下，就可以避免因胡言乱语而失去你梦想工作的可能。 如何把握住问题的要点，猜透老外老板的问题，给出漂亮的回答，是面试的重要环节。来自EF英孚教育Career Service部总监及资深职业规划顾问铁芸女士一直致力于帮助学员规划职业生涯，成功找到自己理想中的工作。以下就是她对于面试中常见问题的回答方面的一些建议，希望能够给您一些启示，助您顺利拿到聘书。 me about yourself. 这是一个面试问题中的经典开题。这个问题主要考察求职者的个性是否符合公司的企业文化，所以回答的时候要尽量贴近这个公司的情况来推销自己的特点。比如这个公司是属于汽车行业，那么你就该回答："Driving is my hobby. I really love the feeling of driving on the road. Cars are my best friends. ." 总之就是要找到自己跟这个公司的一个切合点，让面试官了解你充分适合这个环境。 2. What are your three greatest strengths 回答这个问题的时候不可以含混不清，不可以只是简单回答 "I'm really organized, punctu al and get along well with others." 简洁、精炼，找到这个公司所看重的特长，是回答这个问题的关键。比如要应聘金融行业，可是说 "I think my three biggest strengths are details-oriental, patient and cautious." 但是如果应聘者是一个销售精英，可以说:"I think my biggest strengths ar e that I am aggressive, hard working and communicative."总之，需要考虑到应聘公司及职务的需要来选择表现自己的优势。 3. What are your three greatest weaknesses
到外企求职，很多人尽管做面试题很成功可还是不明不白地落选了。这是为什么?我们总结了多位外企面试官指出的求职失败者的陋习，希望对你有所帮助。 迟到失约 守时守约在人们的日常生活中已成为起码的礼数，迟到、失约更是外企面试中的大忌。 这不但会表现出求职者没有时间观念和责任感，更会让面试官觉得你对这份工作没有热忱，从而对你的第一印象大打折扣。 面试官提醒求职者，去面试时最好提前10至15分钟或准时到达。如因有要事迟到或缺席，一定要尽早打电话通知该公司，并预约另一个面试时间。 数落别人 很多跳槽者在面对雇主“你为什么要离开原来的公司”这一问题时，往往会数落原单位的不是，比如薪水过低、原雇主不能知人善任、同事间勾心斗角等，将自己跳槽的原因全部推到原单位的过错上，并极力赞扬新雇主如何如何好，以博得面试官的好感。 事实上，在面试官眼里这样的求职者只会逢迎拍马，不找自身的原因，这样的人工作一定不认真。更重要的是，即使是对方的过错，而一味地推脱自己的责任、数落别人，也只会让面试官觉得你记仇、不念旧情和不懂得与人相处，反而更会导致面试官的反感。 掺水说谎 由于外企的工作环境、薪水待遇等相对较好，求职的人自然不少，很多人为了使自己在竞争中脱颖而出，就使出了包括韦小宝式的撒谎功夫，伪造自己的职业史，将不属于自己的功劳据为己有。 这样做的求职者忽略了一个很重要的事实，就是作为一个跨国公司，诚信是做人最起码的要求，任何雇主都不会聘用没有诚信、随时撒谎的人作为自己的员工。即使在面试现场能蒙混过关，但谎言一旦被揭穿，那么你的好日子就到头了。因此，面试时千万要实话实说，不能无中生有。 长话短说 一般来讲，每个人的面试时间都不会太长。因此，求职者都会想方设法在规定的时间内尽可能多展现出自己的才能。但求职者在推销自己的同时，还是要记住中国的一句老话———言多必失。 面试的目的是了解你简历上不能体现的能力，面试官的目的非常明确，因此，你在推销自己时切忌滔滔不绝、喋喋不休。否则，面试官会觉得你不善于抓住问题的重点，总结归纳的能力太差。但也不要错过表现自己的机会，有的求职者由于担心管不住自己的嘴，在回答问题时只有一两句，甚至只回答“yes”、“no”，这也是不可取的，应该尽量做到谈吐自如。 欠缺目标
国企面试几点注意事项揭秘 国有企业面试相对于其他性质企业来说其挑战性往往并不大，只要毕业生认真准备，不犯一些典型性错误，能够参与国有企业的面试，最后过关的面试还是有很大希望的。 世界经理人办公伙伴总结了一些国有企业招聘程序，对国企面试的特点可以归纳为以下几方面： 1、国有企业面试相当直接，许多问题都是直接切入主题，重点对面试者的专业能力进行考察，因此毕业生在面试前应该做好充分的准备，特别是对所应聘企业所从事的业务应该有充分的认识，避免面试时给人专业知识不好的印象。 2、国企很少用英语来面试，虽然现在许多国企也很在意应聘者的英语水平，但他们大多数看重其是否拥有国家英语四级或六级证书。 3、面试人员往往由企业的人事主管参加，而由于国有企业体制的原因，人事主管往往就能决定应聘者的取舍。因此能够通过第一批简历的淘汰之后闯入面试阶段，说明人事主管已对应聘者的素质进行了肯定，面试只是去进一步证实他们的这种判断。 4、国有企业的面试往往是一对几的面试，采取一问一答式，问题也是程式化，但由于面试人员多，有时会让人应接不暇，因此集中注意力听每一位面试人员的问题非常必要，如果来不及回答，也应向提问者有所表示，以示尊重。 5、国企面试的问题常常会夹杂一些个人家庭背景等问题，比如是否是独生子女，父母工作情况等，应聘者只要如实回答就行。 国有企业面试一般还要注意以下几点：
1、政治素质。国有企业一般对学生党员和学生干部比较感兴趣，因此在面试过程中毕业生如果本身的政治素质过硬，就很容易让招聘人员对你另眼相看。 2、专业成绩。面试中恰当地表现自己的专业素质，在面试过程中往往要比空洞的强调自己的综合素质更容易引人注目。 3、礼貌细心。应聘者所表现出来的良好的教养与必要的礼貌和细心往往会使自己在国企面试人员心目中占有—定的心理优势。 4、举止得当。国有企业一般来说不太喜欢面试中个性张扬的人，中规中矩，举止行为朴实的求职者更容易得到招聘人员的青睐。在面试时毕业生穿着上应以平实普通为标准。 5、多才多艺。许多应聘者在应聘国企时并不因为专业能力出众而脱颖而出，却是以一技之长而得到招聘人员的赞赏。比如棋琴书画皆会、球技出众等。 6、少谈报酬。国有企业更乐于看到一个有甘于奉献精神的员工。因此在提到薪酬待遇时如果应聘者很在意这个职位，就不妨将薪酬要求放低一些。 7、良好品质。面试中突出自己能够踏实肯干，一向遵纪守规的良好品质也是国有企业普遍认同的价值观。 国企、外企面试官最爱提的8个问题 1.请介绍一下您自己。 这是外企常问的问题。一般人回答这个问题过于平常，只说姓名、年龄、爱好、工作经验，这些在简历上都有，其实，外企最希望知道的是求职者能否胜任工作，包括：最强的技能、最深入研究的知识领域、个性中最积极的部分、做过的最成功的事，主要的成就等，
外企常见12道英文面试题 外企各大类型题考察意图烂熟于心，英文面试易如反掌。以下举例说明： 1、Tell me about yourself这是面试官惯用的开场白。千万不要长篇大论背诵简历。你可以在这时将最突出的优点概括性地总结，并引导面试官向你早已准备好的方面发问。 -- I studied computer in 1999-2003. After that I joined ... and worked as a ... .I am fluent at oral english... 2、What types of prospective job tasks do you enjoy the most？Which prospective job tasks do you least care to do？主要考察应聘者会否对工作中的很多地方感到厌倦；另外还考察你对自己的喜好是否诚实，你是否了解这份工作的基本职责；你是否认识到任何职业都会包含一些枯燥无味的日常工作。 3、What is your greatest weakness？不要把那些明显是优点的品行当成缺点说，这种落入俗套的方式早已被面试官厌倦。可以说一些对于你应聘这个职位没有影响的缺点，对于那些在面试中已经表现出的明显弱点，你可以利用这个问题加以弥补，显示你早已意识到，并且正在改进，已经取得了较大进展。 4、What do you plan to be doing five years from now？主要考察你的职业目标是否符合公司的要求；这份职业是否是你达到目的的合理选择；你是否有继续发展的热情；你的野心是否和这份职业的要求相契合；你的发展潜力有多大。如果你应聘大企业，千万不要提你想创业，如果应聘小企业，这倒是个合理的回答。 5、What college subjects did you like best and least？ Why？这个
给外企的简历中有特别禁忌 求职自荐信 十一月,在广州高校里的校园招聘会已拉开序幕。据以往经历,海外名企往往是最先开始校园招聘的,而这一类企业无疑也是应届毕业生们的首选。那么针对这些外企,我们的简历是否会有一些特别的禁忌呢？以下一些技巧及建议将使您避免失误,增加“中标”机会。 英语国家：遵循严格的方式 在英语国家（美国、英国、澳大利亚等）,人们喜欢干脆利落,开门见山,因此求职者应在履历开头就明确写出求职目标;同时他们喜欢求职者的语言富有生气且言之有物,因此,你应写上一些精确的信息、具体的时间以及体现你特定方面能力的具体数字或你为原来所在工作部门赢得的利润额等等。当然写完所有这些,您的求职信内容仍然被期望在一页纸以内。 中国学生特别喜欢附上各种各样的证书以证明自己的能力,这一点在美国是可以被接受的,但所附证书一定要与你所申请的工作有关。在求职美国公司时,不要忘记在履历上尽可能详细地写明你的工作经验,所有可显示出你能力及实际经验的信息都将在美国公司的招聘中为你加重砝码。 最后,你最好在履历末尾写上：本人将在某一时间打电话给招聘者以确定是否可能得到面试机会。同时,在面试过后,千万不要忘记写信给面试人,对其接待了你表示感谢。他们对应聘人的做事方式及其求职的方式非常看重,对他们来讲,这些都能显示出你的工作能力。
欧洲国家：慎谈年龄 在欧洲国家,人们非常看重年龄,认为某些职业是有年龄限制的。例如：你60岁时仍去申请销售一职,在欧洲几乎被认为是不可能的。因此,在对欧洲国家的面试中,你对年龄和经验最好应当谨慎。另外,在有些欧洲国家中会有一些特别的习惯,例如90%的法国、意大利及德国企业内部流行笔迹测试,若你的求职信不是手写的,有些公司甚至拒绝阅读。 日本：切记“循规蹈矩” 在日本,最好在开头写上你的处世能力,性格特征,社会活动及体育运动特长。对于日本招聘人来讲,人们喜欢那些曾从事过团体活动的人。同时,应聘日本公司,你最好在履历上最大限度地突出你所受的大学教育的细节。履历必须用日文书写,千万不要用英文。而且,日本人喜欢按时间顺序书写的履历,甚至可以从小学写起。经验对于日本人无关紧要,因为在公司以后的工作中就可学到;要强调的是你的合作精神而不是领导才能。口吻应尽量礼貌,因为在这个崇尚礼貌的国家,这一点是基本的要求。这一点倒是与中国礼仪之邦的某些习惯相吻合。 多多为对方考虑 把履历寄给外国公司,要始终站在阅读你履历的人的立场上考虑,履历应当容易理解,且在文化上应为其所接受,一定要在履历中用你的经历向人力资源经理证明,你会很容易融入这间公司的。比如,你感兴趣的是IBM的某一个职位,一定要让人感觉到你的稳重、严谨、协作
外企面试常见问题及回答技巧 x我们为什么要聘用你？（目的：测试沉静与自信） 给一个简短、有礼貌的回答：“我能做好我要做的事情”、“我相信自己，我想得到这份工作”。x为什么你想到这里来工作？（目的：测试对一项工作的准备能力和自我表达能力）事实上，面试是求职者入公司所做的第一件工作，那么，为此项工作所做的准备，就可以反映出一个人对工作的准备能力。因为你在此前必须进行大量的准备来了解这家公司。组织几个原因，最好是简短而切合实际的。x这个职位最吸引你的是什么？（目的：让你表现对这个公司、这份工作的看法）回答应使考官确认你具备他要求的素质。x你是否喜欢你老板的职位？（目的：测试你对未来的设计能力） 回答当然是“ＹＥＳ”，如你不满意，可补充：“当我有这个评测能力时”，或“有这样一个空缺时吧”。x是否愿意去公司派你去的那个地方？（目的：公司希望能找多面准备的员工）如果你回答“ＮＯ”，你可能会因此而失掉这份工作，记住：你被雇用后，你可以和公司就这个问题再行谈判。x谁曾经给你最大的影响？（目的：了解你的手段）选一个名字即可，最好是你过去的老师等，再简短准备几句说明

[求职者外企面试需要注意的五大忌讳]服用补肾 中药五大忌讳 1、迟到失约 守时守约在人们的日常生活中已成为起码的礼数，迟到、失约更是外企面试中的大忌。 面试官提醒求职者，去面试时最好提前10至15分钟或准时到达。如因有要事迟到或缺席，一定要尽早打电话通知该公司，并预约另 一个面试时间。 2、数落别人 很多跳槽者在面对雇主“你为什么要离开原来的公司”这一问题时，往往会数落原单位的不是，比如薪水过低、原雇主不能知人善任、同事间勾心斗角等，将自己跳槽的原因全部推到原单位的过错上，并极力赞扬新雇主如何如何好，以博得面试官的好感。 事实上，在面试官眼里这样的求职者只会逢迎拍马，不找自身的原因，这样的人工作一定不认真。更重要的是，即使是对方的过错，而一味地推脱自己的责任、数落别人，也只会让面试官觉得你记仇、不念旧情和不懂得与人相处，反而更会导致面试官的反感。 3、掺水说谎 由于外企的工作环境、薪水待遇等相对较好，求职的人自然不少，很多人为了使自己在竞争中脱颖而出，就使出了包括韦小宝式的撒 谎功夫，伪造自己的职业史，将不属于自己的功劳据为己有。 这样做的求职者忽略了一个很重要的事实，就是作为一个跨国公司，诚信是做人最起码的要求，任何雇主都不会聘用没有诚信、随 时撒谎的人作为自己的员工。即使在面试现场能蒙混过关，但谎言 一旦被揭穿，那么你的好日子就到头了。 4、短话长说
一般来讲，每个人的面试时间都不会太长。因此，求职者都会想方设法在规定的时间内尽可能多展现出自己的才能。但求职者在推 销自己的同时，还是要记住中国的一句老话———言多必失。 面试的目的是了解你简历上不能体现的能力，面试官的目的非常明确，因此，你在推销自己时切忌滔滔不绝、喋喋不休。否则，面 试官会觉得你不善于抓住问题的重点，总结归纳的能力太差。但也 不要错过表现自己的机会，有的求职者由于担心管不住自己的嘴， 在回答问题时只有一两句，甚至只回答“yes”、“no”，这也是不 可取的，应该尽量做到谈吐自如。 5、欠缺目标 外资企业非常看重员工自身的职业规划，如果你的求职目标太多，这个岗位不适合就希望到那个岗位工作的话，这会给面试官留下没 有明确事业目标的印象。虽然一些求职者的其他条件不错，但无事 业目标就会缺少主动性和创造性，给企业带来损失。面试官倒情愿 聘用一个各方面表现虽稍逊色，但具有事业目标和热忱的求职者!
国企结构化面试技巧 【篇一：国有企业面试技巧】 国企与外企的面试策略分析 国有企业：关注你的忠诚与踏实 国有企业多年来一直是毕业生就业的主渠道。由于国有企业本身的 特点，使其在招聘毕业生时有其明显的国企特色。其中最重要的还 是其自上而下的人事制度，使其在招聘面试中过于中规中矩，因此 在许多国企面试时一般对毕业生并不特别苛刻，但应聘者自由发挥 的余地也不大。近年来随着国有企业改革的进一步深化，国企在人 才引进上也逐步与市场接轨，人事制度的进一步完善使招聘人才的 手段也日趋科学合理。+总的来说国有企业在招聘人才特别是高校应 届毕业生时主要还是注重学生的在校成绩与表现，如有良好的计算 机技能，英语至少过四级，计算机要过二级等。特别是曾经担任过 学生干部、是党员以及曾在校获得奖学金的学生往往更受国有企业 的关注。在面试过程中国有企业一般都会重点考察学生的政治素质 与思想品德，了解应聘者是否能够 踏踏实实在国有企业做一番事业。 国有企业面试相对于其他性质企业来说其挑战性往往并不大，只要 毕业生认真准备，不犯一些典型性错误，能够参与国有企业的面试，最后过关的面试还是有很大希望 的。 以应聘我国著名的国有企业长虹为例，几乎所有的长虹主考官在面 试时都会问这样的问题：你在学习方面有哪些优势?你了解长虹吗? 对于学习优势，主考官会根据应聘者所应聘的职位具体问基础课和 技术课方面的情况；而如果应聘考对长虹的各方面资料 相关熟悉，在面试中会很容易引起主考官的注意。 总结一些国有企业招聘程序，对国企面试的特点可以归纳为以下几 方面： 1、面试人员往往由企业的人事主管参加，而由于国有企业体制的原因，人事主管往往就能决定应聘者的取舍。因此能够通过第一批简 历的淘汰之后闯入面试阶段，说明人事主管已对应聘者的素质进行 了肯定，面试只是去进一步证实他们的这种判断。
外企面试礼仪注意事项 外企面试礼仪注意事项 一：不能迟到 但招聘人员是允许迟到的。这一点一定要清楚，否则，招聘人员一迟到，您的不满情绪就流于言表，这样招聘人员对您的第一印象 就大打折扣了。请注意前面的“前三分钟决策原则”，因此您一但 稍露愠色，就满盘皆输了。况且招聘人员的确有其迟到的理由：一 是业务人员作招聘时，公司业务自然优先于招聘事宜，因此可能会 因业务而延误了时间；二是前一个面试可能会长于预定的时间；三 是人事部或秘书没协调好，这种情况经常发生。还有的主管人员由 于整天与高级客户打交道，做招聘时难免会有一种高高在上的感觉，因此对很多面试细节都会看得比较马虎，这样也就难免搞错。也有 人故意要晚，这也是一种拿派的方式，因此您对招聘人员迟到千万 不要太介意。记住，现在是您在求职，而不是别人在求您上岗。 同时，您也不要太介意面试人员的礼仪、素养。如果他们有不妥之处，如迟到等，您应尽量表现得大度开朗一些，这样往往能使坏 事变好事。前面提到，面试无外是一种人际磨合能力的考查，您得 体周到的表现自是有百利而无一害的。 1：最好提前10-15分钟到，熟悉一下环境 卡耐基的故事： 听了这一席话以后，每次培训他也都提前到达。这样即使遇上交通堵塞，也都有一定的余地。 如果路程较远，宁可早到30分钟，甚至一个小时。北京很大， 路上堵车的情形很普遍，对于不熟悉的地方也难免迷路。但早到后 不宜提早进入办公室，最好不要提前10分钟以上出现在面谈地点， 否则聘用者很可能因为手头的事情没处理完而觉得很不方便。外企
的老板往往是说几点就是几点，一般绝不提前。当然，如果事先通 知了许多人来面试，早到者可提早面试或是在空闲的会议室等候， 那就另当别论。对面试地点比较远，地理位置也比较复杂的，不妨 先跑一趟，熟悉交通线路、地形、甚至事先搞清洗手间的位置，这 样您就知道面试的具体地点，同时也了解路上所需的时间。 提到“洗手间”，大家不要笑，实际上这很重要。这里给大家讲一个在国家机关工作的人去外企面试的故事。他在面试前突然想去 洗手间，但因对写字楼的环境不熟悉，面试前也没去过，自然一时 搞不清到底哪个门是。结果竟一头撞进了火警通道，还冒失地按了 火警铃，结果整个楼响成一片，着实轰动了一把。他慌慌张张地躲 了一阵之后才去了洗手间，等到再去面试的时候，已错过了预约的 时间，此时面试主考已起程去机场了。他也就永远地失去了进入这 家公司的机会了。 2．把握进屋时机 进屋后，若发现招聘人员正在填写上一个人的评估表，不要打扰，表现得理解与合作。但也不要自作聪明，在招聘人员不知晓的情况 下等在门外不进去，这是不对的。对招聘人员来说，什么时候填写 评估表，写多长时间，都是他自己的工作安排；对您来说，如果面 试的时间到了，您就应该按点敲门。不过如果招聘人员请您在门外 等一下，那就另当别论，此时您就应按他的要求做。其实有的时候，招聘人员已填完了表格，并已开始看自己的文件了，这时，如果您 仍自作主张地在外面等，就会落得“哑巴吃黄莲，有苦说不出”的 后果。有的人会让您进来在屋内等一下，您就按他的安排做，不要 东张西望、动手动脚、闭目养神或中间插话。这段时间虽然会比较 难熬，但忍一忍也就过去了。如果实在无所事事，边上又有可以看 的杂志，那么在经过允许之后，可以翻阅。 一般填这种评估表时间都不会太长，不必一定要省这个时间看点什么或干点什么。有经验的招聘人员会妥善处理这种尴尬的`局面。 比如，他觉得您等的时间长了，就会建议您先看一下桌面上的杂志。这时即使您不想看，也别拒绝，您看不看是另外一回事，但礼貌上 要友善地接受。

外企面试最常见的八大英文问题 Tag： 很多人从接到面试通知的电话起，心里就开始紧张，不用说想到要用英语面试、老外老板亲切却又让人紧张的微笑、看似简单而又机关重重的问题……其实，只要提前准备一下，就可以避免因胡言乱语而失去你梦想工作的可能。 如何把握住问题的要点，猜透老外老板的问题，给出漂亮的回答，是面试的重要环节。来自EF英孚教育Career Service部总监及资深职业规划顾问铁芸女士一直致力于帮助学员规划职业生涯，成功找到自己理想中的工作。以下就是她对于面试中常见问题的回答方面的一些建议，希望能够给您一些启示，助您顺利拿到聘书。 me about yourself. 这是一个面试问题中的经典开题。这个问题主要考察求职者的个性是否符合公司的企业文化，所以回答的时候要尽量贴近这个公司的情况来推销自己的特点。比如这个公司是属于汽车行业，那么你就该回答："Driving is my hobby. I really love the feeling of driving on the road. Cars are my best friends. ." 总之就是要找到自己跟这个公司的一个切合点，让面试官了解你充分适合这个环境。 2. What are your three greatest strengths 回答这个问题的时候不可以含混不清，不可以只是简单回答"I'm really organized, punctual and get along well with others." 简洁、精炼，找到这个公司所看重的特长，是回答这个问题的关键。比如要应聘金融行业，可是说 "I think my three biggest strengths are details-oriental, patient and cautious." 但是如果应聘者是一个销售精英，可以说:"I think my biggest strengths are that I am aggressive, hard working and communicative."总之，需要考虑到应聘公司及职务的需要来选择表现自己的优势。 3. What are your three greatest weaknesses 能够为公司增值永远是老板的最爱，老板都愿意找到一个了解、热爱工作，并能够为公司创造价值的员工。所以不要很诚实的把自己的毛病暴露出来，而是要策略的选择一些能够为自己加分的缺点。比如:"I am a perfectionist and I pay very much attention to details." 4. Why are you interested in working for our company 这个问题主要考察应聘者是否对这个工作进行了了解，或者是否真正有兴趣，所以需要围绕整个公司的具体情况来回答，让面试官知道你很清楚这个公司的运营模式，以及对这项工作非常积极。因此不要以"It seemed like a good career move."或是"I haven't been able to find anything else interesting."为开始。如果能有一些实际问题回答的话，就会更大的加分。应聘者可以这样："I read an article in the newspaper and was very impressed by..."但是前提是你必须真的对这家公司作了研究，同时也要注意，不要让面试官觉得你是为了讨好面试官而言过其实，这样只会适得其反。
国企与外企面试的区别 又到了应届大学生毕业应聘的时候了，每当这个时期，大量的用人单位开始寻觅合适的新人加盟，其中既有国企，又有外企。想起前年的我，参加了几次面试，总结出了两者面试的一些不同之处，今天列举如下，希望可以对即将踏上社会的莘莘学子有所启示。 首先，在面试之前，外企总是让你等待更长的时间，直到你望眼欲穿，顺利通过了多层筛选，几近绝望，才会收到面试通知。一些好的外企，通常在面试之前，会安排一轮或者多轮笔试，笔试的内容大多为文学、数学、逻辑、智力和实事。题量极大，且监考严格，在参加这种笔试之前，你最好先复习一下古代的名句，高中数学里面的数列问题，再看看最近一个月的实事新闻，然后搞清楚诸如“意大利总理是谁？”、“古巴首都在哪里？”、“什么是蓝筹股？”之类的问题。最好再看几本智力测验的书，这样，通过笔试的几率会比较大。特别需要注意的是，试卷上面的字迹，一定要清楚美观，否则，阅卷试官的法眼很可能就不会青睐于你了。就外企的录取比率而言，通过笔试比通过面试难得多，如果你可以顺利通过一家优秀外企的所有考验，可以说，你就是百里挑一，甚至千里挑一的人才，这决不是耸人听闻。而在国企，只要人事经理认为你的条件合格，通知你参加面试了，那么你就基本上成功了80%，也就是说，在国企，基本上参
加面试的5个人可以留下4个。同样的比例，在外企，可能10个人只能留下1个，甚至1个都不留，宁缺勿滥也。 第二，面试的形式两者也大不相同。外企的面试，形式多样，花样繁多，我曾经参加过一些外企的面试，有的让我和竞争者辩论，有的让我去仓库估算存货价值，有的当场测试打字速度，更有的让我说服面试官买下我的一支钢笔，实在让人防不胜防。当然也有很大一部分仅限于口头交流。而国企，一问一答的形式几乎是100%的。在外企，通常是一个面试官对一个应聘者，甚至一个面试官对多个应聘者，而在国企，通常是多个面试官对一个应聘者，让人应接不暇，顾此失彼。当然，外企的面试官很有可能是老外，即使不是老外，面试官也通常会用一半的时间让你用英语和他交流，所以你的英语口语太差就意味着失败，而在国企的面试中，基本遇不到讲英语的场面，你的普通话太差也不行。 第三，面试中的问题角度和难度不同。外企的问题，通常是“旁敲侧击”型，通过一个看似普通的问题来考验你的个人能力，举个例子，“你有什么缺点？”如果你简单的回答诸如“粗心”、“交际能力不强”等等，那么我告诉你，完了，这个问题你的得分是0。面试官其实对你的缺点不感兴趣，他们只是希望了解你通过什么方法克服缺点，最好，你能够展开说一些和问题无关的东西。你如果不能听出面试问题的潜台词，那么，宝贵的面试机会就会被浪费。而国企的问题，可以说是“两个极端”型，
外企面试最常见的35个英文问题 一．Personal Information关于个人信息的问题 1.What is the meaning of your English name?你的英文名字有什么含 义么？ 2.What is the meaning of your email address?你的电子邮件地址有什 么寓意么？ 3.Where are you from?Where is your hometown?你是哪里人？家乡在 什么地方？ 一．Education 关于教育背景的问题 4.Why did you select your major area of study?你为什么要选择这个专 业？ 5.What subjects were your favourite?Why?你最喜欢的课程是什么？ 为什么？ 6.What subjects were your least favourite?Why?你最不喜欢的课程是 什么？为什么？ 7.Other than the courses you studied,what is your 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？ 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？） 二．Experience关于工作经验的问题 9.Would you briefly describe this company to me ?介绍一下你的原单
外企面试考官最爱提的十个问题_面试技巧 外企面试考官最爱提的十个问题s("fzoom");s("hzh0");s("hzh1");s("hzh2"); 1.请介绍一下你自己。这是外企常问的问题。一般人回答这个问题过于平常，只说姓名、年龄、爱好、工作经验，这些在简历上都有，其实，外企最希望知道的是求职者能否胜任工作，包括：最强的技能、最深入研究的知识领域、个性中最积极的部分、做过的最成功的事，主要的成就等，这些都可以和学习无关，也可以和学习有关，但要突出积极的个性和做事的能力，说得合情合理外企才会相信。外企很重视一个人的礼貌，求职者要尊重考官，在回答每个问题之后都说一句“谢谢”。外企喜欢有礼貌的求职者。 2.在学校你最不喜欢的课程是什么？为什么？这个问题外企不希望求职者直接回答“数学”、“体育”之类的具体课程，如果直接回答还说明了理由，不仅代表求职者对这个学科不感兴趣，可能还代表将来也会对要完成的某些工作没有兴趣。这个问题外企招聘者最想从求职者口里听到：我可能对个别科目不是特别感兴趣，但是正因为这样，我会花更多的时间去学习这门课程，通过学习对原本不感兴趣的科目也开始有了兴趣，对于本来就有兴趣的科目我自然学习得更认真，所以各门课的成绩较为平衡。通过这样的问题，外企可以找到对任何事情都很感兴趣的求职者。 3.说说你最大的优缺点？这个问题外企问的概率很大，通常不希望听到直接回答的缺点是什么等，如果求职者说自己小心眼、爱忌妒人、非常懒、脾气大、工作效率低，外企肯定不会录用你。外企喜欢求职者从自己的优点说起，中间加一些小缺点，最后再把问题转回到优点上，突出优点的部分。外企喜欢聪明的求职者。 4.你认为你在学校属于好学生吗？外企的招聘者很精明，问这个问题可以试探出很多问题：如果求职者学习成绩好，就会说：“是的，我的成绩很好，所有的成绩都很优异。当然，判断一个学生是不是好学生有很多标准，在学校期间我认为成绩是重要的，其他方面包括思想道德、实践经验、团队精神、沟通能力也都是很重要的，我在这些方面也做得很好，应该说我是一个全面发展的学生。”如果求职者成绩不尽理想，便会说：“我认为是不是一个好学生的标准是多元化的，我的学习成绩还可以，在其他方面我的表现也很突出，比如我去很多地方实习过，我很喜欢在快节奏和压力下工作，我在学生会组织过××活动，锻炼了我的团队合作精神和组织能力。” 有经验的招聘者一听就会明白，外企喜欢诚实的求职者。 5.说说你的家庭。外企面试时询问家庭问题不是非要知道求职者家庭的情况，探究隐私，外企不喜欢探究个人隐私，而是要了解家庭背景对求职者的塑造和影响。外企希望听到的重点也在于家庭对求职者的积极影响。外企最喜欢听到的是：我很爱我的家庭！我的家庭一向很和睦，虽然我的父亲和母亲都是普通人，但是从小，我就看到我父亲起早贪黑，每天工作特别勤劳，他的行动无形中培养了我认真负责的态度和勤劳的精神。我母亲为人善良，对人热情，特别乐于助人，所以在单位人缘很好，她的一言一行也一直在教导我做人的道理。外企相信，和睦的家庭关系对一个人的成长有潜移默化的影响。 6.说说你对行业、技术发展趋势的看法？外企对这个问题很感兴趣，只有有备而来的求职者能够过关。求职者可以直接在网上查找对你所申请的行业部门的信息，只有深入了解才能产生独特的见解。外企认为最聪明的求职者是对所面试的公司预先了解很多，包括公司各个部门，发展情况，在面试回答问题的时候可以提到所了解的情况，外企欢迎进入企业的人是“知己”，而不是“盲人”。7.就你申请的这个职位，你认为你还欠缺什么？外企喜欢问求职者弱点，但精明的求职者一般不直接回答。他们希望看到这样的求职者：继续重复自己的优势，然后说：“对于这个职位和我的能力来说，我相信自己是可以胜任的，只是缺乏经验，这个问题我想我可以进入公司以后以最短的时间来解决，我的学习能力很强，我相信可以很快融入公司的企业文化，进入工作状态。”外企喜欢能够巧妙地躲过难题的求职者。8.你期望的工资是多少？外企的工资水平是很灵活的，何种能力拿何种工资。外企喜欢直率的人，但这个问题却不能正面回答，外企希望听到：“以我的能力和我的优势，我完全可以胜任这个职位，我相信我可以做得很好。但
