有多年求职经验的人都知道面试过程中hi遇到什么面试问题，下面是整理的关于常见英语面试问题，欢迎阅读!
1
Tell me about yourself.
解析: 这个问题的目的是想大概地了解你，所以无需讲太多细节的东西。你的回答通常会帮助面试官决定下个问题问什么。除了给对方一个整体的印象，最重要的是着重讲和工作有关的经验。工作经验是大多数面试中最重要的环节，比学历更重要。
答: I was born and raised in Dalian, China. I attended the University of Beijing and received my masters degree in Economics. I have worked for 5 years as a financial consultant in Beijing for various companies including Rossi Consultants, Peoples Insurance of China and Pepsi. I enjoy playing soccer in my free time and traveling.
2
What type of position are you looking for?
解析:对于一个英语非母语的申请人，许多公司期望你能从低做起，慢慢弥补语言方面的不足。就算你以前很成功有多年经验，也应当有这个心理准备。
答: Im interested in an entry level position.
3
Are you interested in a full-time or part-time position?
解析: 尽量留最大的余地争取机会。因为只要工作拿到了，以后的事情就容易把握，主动性大多了。
答: I am more interested in a full-time position. However, I would also consider a part-time position.
4
Can you tell me about your responsibilities at your last job?
解析: 提到过往工作经验时，注意越详细越好。最容易犯的错之一是讲过去经历时太过笼统。雇主是想知道你到底做什么以及你做得怎么样，你讲得越详细，他们就越能知道你是否在行。你可以换着用一些不同的词汇来形容，而且尽量不要每句话都用I开头。记得用过去时态。
答: I advised customers on financial matters. After I consulted the customer, I completed a customer inquiry form and catalogued the information in our database. I then collaborated with colleagues to prepare the best possible package for the client. The clients were then presented with a summarized report on their financial activities that I formulated on a quarterly basis.
5
What is your greatest strength?
解析: 不用谦虚，充满自信地把自己最好的方面都抖出来。记得要给一些具体的例子，举例时变化用词。
答: I am an excellent communicator. People trust me and come to me for advice. One afternoon, my colleague was involved with a troublesome customer who felt he was not being served well. I made the customer a cup of coffee and invited both my colleague and the client to my desk where we solved the problem together.
6
What is your greatest weakness?
解析: 这其实是一个很巧妙的问题，你要讲得出一个其实是优点的缺点。比如工作太认真啦，对自己对人要求很高啦，工作很追求完美啦，等等。在讲到缺点后要记得说你一直在致力于改善。
答: I tend to spend too much time making sure the customer is satisfied. However, I began setting time-limits for myself if I noticed this happening.
7
Why do you want to work for us?
解析: 对这个问题你要事前做研究，通过看公司网站，其他有关信息等。越了解公司，对你越有利。
答: After following your firms progress for the last 3 years, I am convinced that Smith and Sons are becoming one of the market leaders and I would like to be part of the team.
8
When can you begin?
解析: 充分表示你想要工作!
答: As soon as you would like me to begin.
以上只是一些最基本的面试问答。对于英语非母语的人来说，最重要和最难的是用英语讲述大量细节，尤其是复杂的细节。然而，雇主很有必要知道你能否把工作范畴内的细节表达清楚，这对你是否胜任至关重要。不要太过担心语法问题。只要用词够多，内容够细，只要不影响理解，语法往往不是那么重要。
2
向面试官提问
面试时招聘人员总会问你：
Do you have any questions?
问什么问题，对你的印象分有帮助，显示你是一个用心的人。
第一次面试，或者在双方未有确定的意向以前，除非是已经到了签OFFER的阶段，最好不要问待遇如何。那样显得你更关心公司能为你做什么，而不是你为公司能做什么。
一般来说，围绕着这些话题来问比较得体：
the competitive environment in which the organization operates
公司营运所处的竞争环境
executive management styles
管理高层的风格
what obstacles the organization anticipates in meeting its goals
公司在达到其目标过程中预计会遇到什么障碍
how the organizations goals have changed over the past three to five years
公司的经营方向在过去三到五年内有什么变化
具体来说，你可以问以下问题：
1. What are the main objectives and responsibilities of the position?
2. How does the company expect these objectives to be met?
3. What obstacles are commonly encountered in reaching these objectives?
4. What is the desired time frame for reaching the objectives?
5. What resources are available from the company and what must be found elsewhere to reach the objectives?
以上提问主要围绕该行业的认识和发展。还有一些可以探测面试官对这次面试的印象以及有没有下一步安排。
1
Have you had a chance to review my resume?
别以为这是个多余的问题，事实上，不少的面试人员事前并没有看过应聘者的简历，就匆匆忙忙开始了面谈。他们一边面试一边看你的简历。这个问题是个开场白，如果他们没有看过你的简历，通常也不会承认，可能会说： I havent had the chance to review it in details as I would like to.(其实就是一次也没看过。)不要为此懊丧，没看过的话，正好可以说，well, maybe it is helpful for me to talk about the highlights of my qualifications. 就好象一个销售人员在推销产品之前，总是问你对这个产品有什么认识/了解吗?然后再开始自己的陈述。即使他们说已经看过你的简历，你一样可以说：So let me talk about the highlights of my qualifications.
2
Is there anything else I can tell you about my qualifications?
有可能的话，尽量用qualifications代替experience。前者代表了取得的成绩，更加突出了你是有才之士，相比之下后者比较中性，被动。问这个问题，有益无害，只要面试官说Yes，你就有更多的机会把最好的料子亮出来。越能让对方说Yes，你在他们眼中就越有价值，留下的印象越深。这是在首次和第二次面试中值得问的问题(假设面试总共有三次的话)。
3
Ive read the job description, of course, but how would you describe the nature and duties of this job?
乍看这个问题显得明知故问，其实不然。你对这份工作有你的理解，而招聘人员也许有他自己的看法，和登出来的招聘要求并不完全一样。通过他们对这份工作的描述，至少你可以听出来什么是最重要的，什么是招聘广告里面没提到的。那么借此发挥：I am glad to hear that maintaining customer relationship is a great part of this position. I am very customer-focused and always keep their needs in mind. 假设你在第二次面试中和另一个面试人员谈，那么可以再次问这个问题：Ive spoken to Mr. Smith about the responsibilities involved in this job. Whats your take on the most important aspects of this position?
4
What are the major chanllenges that you staff is facing right now?
这个问题有双重目的。第一个目的就是看看自己对公司面临的问题能否提出自己的意见和看法，来表面自己是一个善于解决问题的人。第二个目的就是如果这家公司真的存在着问题，你要考虑是否要加入。
5
What results would you like to see me produce?
问这个问题，显示出你的心态是do a job，真正的干活，不是混口饭吃。不管对方说什么，你都可以接着说：This is what you expect, this is what I will do. 可以对新的面试官重复同样的问题。
6
What do you consider ideal experience of this position?
这个问题的目的是衡量自己的资历水平和对方所说的理解人选差多少，然后尽量把距离拉近。先把已经符合的部分重申一次，然后再说不符合的部分，强调自己的经验和学习能力，可以很快把差距消除。
7
How would you describe the atmosphere, the culture of this company?
这也是个有双重目的的问题。首先就是了解公司的气氛，文化，环境是怎样的，是否合适自己发展;其次是可以表明自己很喜欢这种环境。可以说：I really like that. I am energized by pressure situations.
8
May I talk to the person who held this job previously(or who is currently doing this job)?
根据上一个问题的结果，你大概已经知道，招这个职位是因为现在在做的人升了官，辞了职，还是转到其他的职位上去了。如果能够面谈当然好，如果不能够，看看对方用什么理由来拒绝你。
3
不好回答的问题
面试中总有些问题是不好回答的，招聘人员往往根据你的回答来判断你的个人品质，工作风格和可能存在的问题。
1
Describe what you feel to be an ideal working environment.
形容一下你认为最理想的工作环境。
这是看你对工作环境的要求。
你可以说最理想的工作环境是人人都得到公平的对待。To me the ideal working environment is one in which people are treated as fairly as possible.
也可以说challenging and fun workplace.
2
How do you resolve conflict on a project team?
在一个团队中你如何解决矛盾?
沟通是最重要的，要理解各方的真正要求。开始会私下进行了解。
Communication is very important to resolve conflict. First I would discuss the issues privately with the team members involved then I will help to find out a way to settle based on the business needs.
3
How would you describe your own personality?
你如何形容你的个性?
根据你所应聘的公司和职位的要求来调整你的回答。有的职位要求人听话，肯干，有的要求人有创造性，主动性。在回答以前你心中对这家公司和工作应当有一定的感觉或认识。
4
Are you a leader?
你是一个领导者吗?
当然是了。leadership领导才能在西方社会里是极受重视的，就算你是个生产线的装配工，有领导才能也会比没有好。所以，多多少少你也要说你有领导才能。举几个例子。
5
What career options do you have at the moment?
你目前的职业有些什么选择?
讲到职业选择，应该设法和所应聘的行业和职位相连。I see three areas of interest...
6
How would you describe the essence of success? According to your definition of success, how successful have you been so far?
你如何定义成功?根据你的定义，你认为到现在为止你有多成功?
仔细想想，回答时重点强调你以往取得的成绩。
7
You may be overqualified for the position we have to offer.
对我们目前招聘的职位你可能资历过高。
这里指出由于你资历高，公司对你的投资更小，回报更快。而且你会找到把工作做得更好的方法。并强调你看重长远的发展。
Strong companies need strong people. A growing, energetic company is rarely unable to use its employees talents.

Case One
Interviewer: I'd like to know the salary you expect.我想了解一下，你期望的薪水是多少?Applicant: My salary requirement may be too high, and I hope my primary will not be lower than RMB 4,000.

英语面试常见问题有哪些?又应该怎么回答，下面是整理的关于常见英语面试问题及回答参考，欢迎阅读!
Here are good answers to some of the tougher questions asked in job interviews. If you can smoothly supply answers like these during the interview,
you are bound to make a good impression.
1. What is important to you in a job?
Mention specific rewards other than a paycheck for example, challenge, t
he feeling of accomplishment, and knowing that you have made a contribution.
2. Why do you want to work for this organization?
Cite its reputation, the opportunities it offers, and the working condit
ions. Stress that you want to work for this organization, not just any organ
ization.
3. Why should we employ you?
Point to your academic preparation, job skills, and enthusiasm about working for the firm. Mention your performance in school or previous employment as evidence of your ability to learn and to become productive quickly. If the job involves management responsibilities, refer to past activities as proof of your ability to get along with others and to work as part of a team.
4. If we hire you, how long will you stay with us?
Answer by saying along these lines: As long as my position here allows me to learn and to advance at a pace with my abilities.
5. Can we offer you a career path?
Reply: I believe you could, once I know the normal progression within the organization. Can you tell me about it? The answer may be revealing.
6. What are your greatest strengths?
Give a response like one of the following: I can see what needs to be done and do it, Im wiling to make decisions, I work well with others,
I can organize my time efficiently.
7. What are you greatest weakness?
Identify one or two, such as the following: I tend to drive myself too hard, I expect others to perform beyond their capacities, I like to see a job done quickly, and Im critical if it isnt. Note these weaknesses could also be regarded as desirable qualities. The trick with this question is to describe a weakness so that it could also be considered a virtue.
8. What didnt you like about previous jobs youve held?
Discuss the things you didnt like, but avoid making slighting reference
to any of your former employers.
9. How do you spend your leisure time?
Mention a cross section of interests-active and quiet, social and solitary -- rather just one.
10. Are there any weaknesses in your education or experience?
Take stock of your weaknesses before the interview. Practice discussing them in a positive light. Youll find that they are minor when discussed along with all the positive things you have to offer.
11. Where do you want to be five years from now?
Saying that youd like to be president is unrealistic, yet few employers want people who are content to sit still. You might say, in five years, Id like to have my bosss job. If you cant qualify for your bosss job by
then, you may not be the fright candidate.
12. What are your salary expectations?
If you are asked this at the outset, its best to say, Why dont we discuss salary after you decide whether Im right for the job? But if the interviewer asks this after showing real interest in you, speak up. She or he will probably try to meet your price. If you need a clue about what to ask for, say, Can you discuss your salary range with me?
13. What would you do if....?
This question is designed to test your reposes. For example: What would
you do if your computer broke down during an audit? Your answer there isnt nearly so important as your approach to the problem. And a calm approach is best. Start by saying, One thing I might do is ... Then give several alternative choices.
14. What type of position are you interested in?
Job titles and responsibilities vary from firm to firm . So state your skills instead, such as Im good at figure work, and the positions that req
15. Tell me something about yourself.
Say youll be happy to talk about yourself, and ask what the interviewer
wants to know. If this point is clarified, respond. If not, tell why you feel your skills will contribute to the job and the organization. This question gives you a great opportunity to sell yourself.
16. Do you have any questions about the organization or the job? Employers like a candidate who is interested in the organization. so this is a perfect time to convey your interest and enthusiasm.

大学生毕业后面临的第一件事情肯定就是面试求职了，那么相应的求职技巧就很重要。感谢阅读《MBA英语面试常见问题及回答》内容，职场资讯网小编向您推荐一些求职技巧知识，希望能够帮到您。
1、What can you tell me about yourself? (关于你自己，你能告诉我些什么?)
This is not an invitation to give your life history. The interviewer is looking for clues about your character， qualifications， ambitions， and motivations.
这一问题如果面试没有安排自我介绍的时间的话。这是一个必问的问题。考官并不希望你大谈你的个人历史。是在寻找有关你性格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索。来判断你是否适合读MBA。
The following is a good example of a positive response. In high school I was involved in competitive sports and I always tried to improve in each sport I participated in. As a college student， I worked in a clothing store part-time and found that I could sell things easily. The sale was important， but for me， it was even more important to make sure that the customer was satisfied. It was not long before customers came back to the store and specifically asked for me to help them. Im very competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best.
下面是一个积极正面回答的好例子：在高中我参加各种竞争性体育活动， 并一直努力提高各项运动的成绩。大学期间，我曾在一家服装店打工，我发现我能轻而易举地将东西推销出去。销售固然重要，但对我来说，更重要的是要确信顾客能够满意。不久便有顾客返回那家服装店点名让我为他们服务。我很有竞争意识，力求完美对我很重要。
2、 What would you like to be doing five years after graduation? (在毕业以后5年内你想做些什么?)
Know what you can realistically accomplish. You can find out by talking to others MBA about what they accomplished in their first five years with a particular company after graduation.
I hope to do my best I can be at my job and because many in this line of work are promoted to area manager， I am planning on that also. 你要清楚你实际上能胜任什么。你可以事先和其他的MBA 交流一番。问问他们在毕业后在公司的头5年都做了些什么。
可以这样回答：我希望能在我的职位上尽力做好工作，由于在同一领域工作的许多人都被提为区域负责人，所以我亦有此打算。
3. What is your greatest strength? (你最突出的优点是什么?) 这是很多面试考官喜欢问的一个问题。
This is a real opportunity to toot your own horn. Do not brag or get too egotistical， but let the employer know that you believe in yourself and that you know your strengths.
I feel that my strongest asset is my ability to stick to things to get them done. I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I finish a job and it turns out just as Id planned. Ive set some high goals for myself. For example， I want to graduate with highest distinction. And even though I had a slow start in my freshman year， I made up for it by doing an honors thesis.
这是你展示自己的最佳机会，不要吹嘘自己或过于自负，但要让雇主知道你相信自己，你知道自己的优点。
如可答：我认为我最大的优点是能够执着地尽力把事情办好。当做完一件工作而其成果又正合我的预想时，我会有一种真正的成就感。我给自己定了一些高目标。比如说，我要成为出色的毕业生。尽管在大学一年级时我启动慢了些， 但最终我以优等论文完成了学业。
4. What is your greatest weakness?(你最大的弱点是什么?) You cannot avoid this question by saying that you do not have any， everyone has weaknesses.
The best approach is to admit your weakness but show that you are working on it and have a plan to overcome it. If possible， cite a weakness that will work to the companys advantage. I m such a perfectionist that I wont stop until a job is well done.
你不应该说你没有任何弱点，以此来回避这个问题;每个人都有弱点。最佳策略是承认你的弱点，但同时表明你在予以改进，并有克服弱点的计划。
可能的话，你可说出一项可能会给公司带来好处的弱点，如可说：我是一个完美主义者。工作做得不漂亮，我是不会撒手的。
5. How do you feel about your progress to date? (对于你至今所取得的进步你是怎样看的?)
Never apologize for what you have done.
I think I did well in school. In fact， in a number of courses I received the highest exam scores in the class. As an intern for the X Company， I received some of the highest evaluations that had been given in years.
绝不要对你以前的所作所为表示内疚。
如可答：我认为我在学校表现不错。事实上，有好几门功课我的成绩居全班第一。在某公司实习时，我获得了该公司数年来给予其雇员的好几项最高评价。
如今就业的压力是越来越大，对于我们来说在面试之前能做到的就是做到：知己知彼，百战不殆。所以特别整理了一些英语面试中考官或者是面试者经常会问的一些问题，希望对于要求职的朋友有帮助：
1. Tell me about you!
Keep your answer to one or two minutes; don't ramble. Use your resume summary as a base to start.
2. What do you know about our company?
Do your homework before the interview! Spend some time online or at the library researching the company. Find out as much as you can, including products, size, income, reputation, image, management talent, people, skills, history and philosophy. Project an informed interest; let the interviewer tell you about the company.
3. Why do you want to work for us?
Don't talk about what you want; first, talk about their needs: You would like to be part of a specific company project; you would like to solve a company problem; you can make a definite contribution to specific company goals.
4. What would you do for us? What can you do for us that someone else can't?
Relate past experiences that show you've had success in solving previous employer problem(s) that may be similar to those of the prospective employer.
5. What about the job offered do you find the most attractive? Least attractive?
List three or more attractive factors and only one minor unattractive factor.
6. Why should we hire you?
Because of your knowledge, experience, abilities and skills.
7. What do you look for in a job?
An opportunity to use your skills, to perform and be recognized.
8. Please give me your definition of a .... (the position for which you are being interviewed).
Keep it brief -- give an action- and results-oriented definition.
9. How long would it take you to make a meaningful contribution to our firm?
Not long at all -- you expect only a brief period of adjustment to the learning curve.
10. How long would you stay with us?
As long as we both feel I'm contributing, achieving, growing, etc.

大学生就业难已经成为社会一个难以回避的问题，同时求职技巧也就显得尤为重要，扬长避短掌握技巧是关键。感谢阅读《求职面试常见刁钻问题》内容，职场资讯网小编向您推荐一些求职技巧知识，希望能够帮到您。
面试为什么重要?经常我们会提到面试成本的问题，一位求职者在求职的最初，需要花费大量时间和精力，用在撰写简历、通过网络/报纸等途径挑选适合他的工作、投递简历并做记录这些准备工作上。如果他有幸获得一个面试机会，这些成本就会成为二选一赌局的砝码，若面试成功，他的投入将获得回报，但若面试失败，则意味着之前的付出归零，他不得不从头来过。
自然，我们都不希望自己的成本被白白投入水中，因此，面试前准备工作的充分与否，直接影响应聘者最后获得offer的几率，除了写出一份漂亮的简历之外，面试问题的应答决定着应聘者在求职这张考卷上的最后得分。
第一回合：常规问题应答
通常企业会从专业能力和职业素质的角度来考察应聘者，虽然说专业能力会因为招聘岗位的不同而有所区别，但除去非常具体的专业题目，面试官在面试时提出的问题和询问的技巧在很大程度上是共通的。应聘者需要做的是针对这些常规问题进行准备，而且必须保证应答时不会像背书一样僵硬。
问题一：你的缺点是什么?
问题分析：你真正的缺点是什么并不重要，面试者希望了解的是求职者是否对自己有一个正确的评价，对自己是否有足够的了解，心理是否足够成熟，以及是否有继续学习改进的愿望。当然，通常面试官不会把问题问得那么直接，而是通过让面试者举出具体事例的方式来回答，求职者难以临场编造一个具体的例子，因而答案更具真实性。但如果你诚实地交代了“我因为过于内向而放弃了销售机会”的故事，那同样等于你放弃了这个新的工作机会。
回答思路：这个问题根据面试者的不同，面试官也会对答案有不同的心理预期。比如说一个应届毕业生，就可以直接回答：“我相信我有足够的理论知识和专业能力，但是我的工作和社会经验不足，人脉也有所欠缺……”这样答案符合面试官对毕业生身份的定位，也符合实际情况，面试官便会觉得你谦虚诚实;而如果一个女性应聘管理岗位，则可以回答：“我最大的缺点可能就是不像女人，不够温柔……”总之，一切回答取决于你的实际状况和你对自己的定位。
问题二：你和上司因为工作有过分歧吗?最后的结果是?
问题分析：“企业潜规则”是一个流行词，其中重要的一部分就是“等级制度”，企业是一座等级森严的堡垒，如果你还没有意识到其中的残酷性，这个问题恐怕就会让你栽跟头，如果你的回答表现出对上司权力的挑衅，那么对不起，哪座庙都装不下你这尊大佛。其实这个问题并不难，你只要明白，上司是承担责任的那一个，所以他才是下决定的那一个。不要表现得好像青春期反抗父母权威的叛逆小孩，这并不能体现你的个性，只是让别人知道你还不成熟。
回答思路：必须遵从的原则：1.表示一定会选择适当的时机与上司沟通，其中“适当的时机”非常重要;2.表示通常情况下最终一定服从上司的决定，但不要使用“你是上司你说了算”这种表达方式。3.不要打“越级报告”的主意，这在任何企业都是禁忌。
问题三：是否有过失败的经历?
问题分析：既然提问的是“失败经历”，说明面试官在意的并不是这个结果，他想了解的是事情的过程、你处理工作的方法以及你的学习能力。通常“你工作中最难忘的一件事”“你在工作中遇到的最大困难”都可以等同于这个问题。在回答上，答案的具体事例也可以体现应聘者的专业程度，比如提到的困难是不是应聘岗位所不可避免的，所涉及的方法和使用的公司资源又是否恰当，这是一个非常专业的问题。
回答思路：回答的重点应该在“经历”，而非“失败”上，面试官并不想了解你对失败的态度——任何人都知道此时应该保持积极。回答时应该具体说明的内容有：1.当时的背景和能够使用的资源;2.你处理事情的方法;3.失败后的总结和反思。细节越详细越可以体现你的专业程度，总结和反思则体现了你的学习能力。有自信有准备的话，可以就失败的经历“重来一次”，提出新的解决方案。
问题四：你的期望薪资是多少?
问题分析：恭喜，如果被询问这个问题，说明你被录用的可能很大。在回答之前应该明白的是，其实每一个公司都有自己的薪酬体系，如果不是空降BOSS或者特别顾问，你不可能就薪酬问题有太多讨价还价的余地。这个问题背后没有隐含的意义，只要你对自己和本岗位估价正确即可。
回答思路：不能狮子大开口，想要获得比较公平的薪酬，有两种方法：一，在面试前进行市场调查，了解一下本行业本岗位的平均薪酬水平;二，如果这个数字比较难获得，那么可以以之前的工作收入为基准，适当地进行提升。需要注意的是，不要在没有依据铺垫的前提下直接说“我想要月薪多少”，也不要主动询问薪酬。
第二回合：特殊情况下的问题应答
有些应聘者会有特殊的情况，比如“频繁跳槽”和“职业空白期”，当这些特殊经历在简历上表现出来后，自然也逃不过面试官的询问。那么这些问题该如何应对?
情况一：频繁跳槽——如果你在5年内换了6份工作
面试官的考虑：
1.应聘者的从业情况存在不稳定性，如果我录用他，他是否也会在一年甚至半年内跳槽，浪费公司的招聘成本?
2.应聘者没有明确的职业目标，他对自己的定位不清;
3.其他不确定因素，比如不会处理人际关系或者性格自由散漫，这些问题在我的公司也不能得到解决。
问题分析：“为什么频繁跳槽”这个问题的背后，其实面试官真正想知道的是“你是否还会继续频繁跳槽”，因此“表决心”在这里非常重要。同时，频繁跳槽是一个贬义的表达，在回答时要将它正面化，不论是态度还是答案。
回答思路：1.诚实地承认过去的经历，即使你在简历上跳过一些公司，背景调查也会让你无所循行;2.表决心。表示你已经了解频繁跳槽的害处，并为此付出了代价，所以你不会再继续下去;3.说明频繁跳槽的经历给自己带来的其他收获，比如获得了多种工作经验;确定了职业目标，应聘的职位正与职业目标相符合。
情况二：转行——你做了6年猎头后想转行成为HR
面试官的考虑：
1.应聘者拥有多少转入行业的工作经验?如果录用他，我需要花费多少成本来培训?
2.应聘者是否具有在本行业发展的潜力?他的才能对于企业的贡献将会是多大?
3.应聘者是否愿意和新人一样从零做起?是否可以接受比以前低的薪水?
问题分析：任何招聘行为都是为了找到适合的人才，面试官问你“为什么想到要做HR”，其实他真正关心的并不是原因，而是你“适合不适合”，所以你的答案应该围绕着“我为什么适合转行做HR”而展开。同时，面试官对你的职业定位和发展方向仍有疑虑，他同时也在问：“你确定这个行业是你真正想要进入的吗?”在回答时要注意，不要露出个人稳定性不足的缺陷。
回答思路：1.虽然你应该表示愿意和新人一起起跑，但不能过多强调这一点。如果给面试官留下“你=新人”这样的印象，因为成本关系，你必然是被淘汰的那个;2.应该说明你过去的工作经验对于转行后的新职位仍有帮助，你看似从零开始，实际上却有各种软性技能作为铺垫，帮助你迅速提高;3.陈述你应聘这个职位的优势。比如你在猎头行业工作多年，有相当多的人脉关系，对HR行业也非常了解等。
情况三：职业空白期——如果你有三年职业空白期
面试官的考虑：
1.这段空白期对应聘者的业务技能造成多少影响?他是否可以很快进入工作状态?
2.当前职位对于空白时间长短的最大容忍度是多少?他是否适合这个职位?
3.这段空白是否会影响应聘者对于职业目标的确认?他是否能够在这个岗位上保持稳定性?
问题分析：如果简历上有空白期，那一定逃不过面试官的询问，不过面试官关心的并不是你在这三年里干了什么，而是经过这段空白期，你是否还能适应当前的工作。这个问题较多出现在生育后花费相当长时间照顾孩子的女性身上，面试官担心的是你是否能解决孩子与工作的矛盾，你所要做的就是解除面试官的疑惑，让他对你产生信心。不需要过多解释为什么会有空白期，也不必过多陈述空白期时自己干了些什么，除非这对你当前应聘的职位有益。
回答思路：1.确认自己的优势，这些优势正好满足当前应聘的岗位。比如在空白期里你参加了一次与应聘职位有关的培训;2.明确自己已经有了思想准备和具体方法措施。比如这三年时间你在照顾孩子，那么你应该有孩子和工作的平衡方案;3.从另一方面说明，这段职业空白对你相当宝贵，你利用这段时间对自己的职业和人生进行思考，你能够对自己更负责，也能够做出更为成熟的决定。
第三回合：女性面试中的尴尬问题
虽然劳动法有专项条例保护女性，但在求职过程中的性别歧视却是个长期存在的遗留问题，面试中经常会有女性求职者被问及一些尴尬问题，公司这样的做法当然有欠妥当，面试官当然也不够专业，但既然问题无法回避，那不如坦然面对。
尴尬一：你认为家庭和事业之间存在不可调和的矛盾吗?
隐含问题：当工作和生活出现矛盾时，你如何解决?
问题分析：其实不论男性还是女性，家庭与工作的矛盾都是同时存在的，只是传统意识影响，认为女性应该更倾向于偏重家庭一方，导致在面试时女性不得不经常面对这样的提问。然而，必须注意的是，企业并不愿意听到你“工作至上，完全不顾家庭”的回答，对于企业来说，既希望你以事业为重，但也希望你拥有一个幸福美满的家庭。“后院不失火”，才会使人无后顾之忧，集中精力干工作，才能发挥出你的聪明才干。
回答思路：经过上面的分析，你可以明白这样的问题并不难回答。在答案中应该体现出三个关键点：1.工作和生活之间确实存在矛盾，但并不是不能解决的;2.无论是工作还是家庭，都可以体现出你的价值;3.当工作和生活出现矛盾时，你有具体的处理方案，当然，大部分情况下，你会以工作为重。
尴尬二：你结婚了吗?最近打算要孩子吗?
隐含问题：你是否马上要休婚假产假?你是否婚后无法集中在工作上?
问题分析：除了工作和生活无法平衡外，提这样的问题企业更多是出于成本的原因。因为婚假和产假相对时间较长，在这段时间里企业等于是白白养着你，所以自然要考虑招收你进公司是否合算。然而这种做法其实是很不规范的，如果面试官当真在面试中流露出这样的态度，希望应聘者对于是否选择这家公司多加衡量。
回答思路：1.尽量避免直接回答;2.提及无论是婚姻还是孩子其实都有助于工作的稳定性;3.如果你觉得面试官真正想知道的是后一条隐含问题，那可以以上面一题的方式回答。
尴尬三：这个职位会遇到一些特殊情况，你能胜任吗?
隐含问题：女销售有时候会遇到客户提出非分要求，你能处理吗?
问题分析：这也是一个大家口头不说，但对于某些行业某些岗位普遍存在共识的问题，有时候，这可能是压力面试的一种，面试官想要考查当你面临不利情况时的承受和应变能力。以销售为例，销售看业绩吃饭，事实上企业关心的是你是否能完成业绩，而不是你用什么样的方式。
回答思路：1.避免直接说“能”或者“不能”;2.模糊回答，表示自己的专业性和能力足够完成任务;3.表示自己能够处理特殊情况——这并不意味着你会答应客户的无理要求。
我们无法罗列所有面试中的刁钻问题，更不用说还有专业性强的案例回答。面试者只有对自己清晰定位，对所应聘的公司和职位有足够的了解，做好针对性的准备，才能保证在面试中有出色的表现。当然，运气也是其中非常重要的部分，但是我们相信“好运”属于有准备的人。

C: Certainly. Thank you very much.
I: Thats all for the interview. Please wait for our notification.
C: Thank you very much for your interview with me. Good-bye.
1.Tell me about yourself.
面试官常以这样的问题开始。记得，他们想要听到的是你的工作技巧，不是你的个人生活。不要说，I was born inBeijing1 like to play computer games或是I have two brothers。告诉他们有关你职业生涯的发展、你学到的东西或是你是如何获得某些工作技巧的。
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 running on the road and I take cars as my best friends.总之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 strongest 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 thinkmy strongest strengths are aggressivehard 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。所以不要很诚实地把自己的毛病暴露出来，而是要有策略地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，Sometimes I am quite captious.
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，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 havent been able to find anything else interesting开始。记得雇主们想知道你能带给公司什么。而不是公司能带给你什么!
如果能有一些实际问题回答的话，就会有更大的加分，我们建议应聘者可以这样：I read an article in the newspaperand 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。

西方老板特别爱问这个问题，让求职者感到很紧张。事实上，这个问题是考查求职者对棘手问题的反应。你没必要如实回答你的弱点，因为那有可能让你得不到这份工作。相反，你可以告诉他们一些与工作不直接相关的事情。
例如可以按照下面的方式回答。
Itendtodrivemyselftoohard.
(我总是让自己太辛苦)
Iexpectotherstoperformbeyondtheircapacities.
(我希望其他人的发挥能超出其自身能力的范围)
Iliketoseeajobdonequickly,andImcriticalifitisnt.
(我比较性急，总是希望能尽快地完成工作)

参考答案

(我喜欢和有自尊、为人正直诚实、并且乐于奉献的人一块儿工作。)
关于未来(AboutFuture)
有时候招聘方会问求职者有关未来的问题，目的就是了解应聘者做事的风格，以及应聘者对这份工作的看法。当然由于求职者还不是很了解自己所应聘的工作，因此在回答问题时并不一定面面俱到，大致说明自己的计划目标就好了。
面试例题24
Couldyouprojectwhatyouwouldliketobedoingfiveyearsfromnow?
(你能预料五年后你会做什么吗?)
参考答案
AsIhavesomesoftwaremanagementexperienceinmylastjob,Imayusemyorganizationalandplanningskillsinthefuture.

Perhaps,anopportunityatamanagementpositionwouldbeexciting.
(也许有机会，我将会从事管理工作。)
如果不愿正面回答，也可以说：

(现在对此问题的预测，尚嫌过早。)
甚至还可以打趣的说：
Hypotheticallyspeaking,Imightbeabletodoyourcurrentjobasasoftwareprojectmanager.
(CEO/president。)
Ihopetodemonstratemyabilityandtalentsinmyfieldadequately.
(说不定，我也能做你现在软件项目经理的工作呢!)

在求职过程中需要注意的问题您知道？需要的求职技巧您知道？职场小编告诉你，在求职过程中切忌夸夸其谈，切忌过于自信，切忌自我炫耀，切忌左顾右盼以及切忌形象糟糕。感谢阅读《英语面试常见的31个问题和答案》内容，职场资讯网小编向您推荐一些求职技巧知识，希望能够帮到您。
中外HR们手中的问题其实是差不多的，思维模式大同小异。这31个问题，也经常出现在中国HR的问题单里，或许他们最先的起源就是微软、GOOGLE等公司的HR们。有人说：全球化实际上就是美国化，这下你明白了吧?读者们可以收藏了，熟读这些题目，去什么外企面试都不怕了。
Wouldnt it be great if you knew exactly what a hiring manager would be asking you in your next interview?
While we unfortunately cant read minds, well give you the next best thing: a list of the 31 most commonly asked interview questions and answers.
While we dont recommend having a canned response for every interview question (in fact, please dont), we do recommend spending some time getting comfortable with what you might be asked, what hiring managers are really looking for in your responses, and what it takes to show that youre the right man or woman for the job.
Consider this your interview study guide.
1. Can you tell me a little about yourself?
This question seems simple, so many people fail to prepare for it, but its crucial. Heres the deal: Dont give your complete employment (or personal) history. Instead give a pitchone thats concise and compelling and that shows exactly why youre the right fit for the job. Start off with the 2-3 specific accomplishments or experiences that you most want the interviewer to know about, then wrap up talking about how that prior experience has positioned you for this specific role.
2. How did you hear about the position?
Another seemingly innocuous interview question, this is actually a perfect opportunity to stand out and show your passion for and connection to the company. For example, if you found out about the gig through a friend or professional contact, name drop that person, then share why you were so excited about it. If you discovered the company through an event or article, share that. Even if you found the listing through a random job board, share what, specifically, caught your eye about the role.
3. What do you know about the company?
Any candidate can read and regurgitate the companys About page. So, when interviewers ask this, they arent necessarily trying to gauge whether you understand the missionthey want to know whether you care about it. Start with one line that shows you understand the companys goals, using a couple key words and phrases from the website, but then go on to make it personal. Say, Im personally drawn to this mission because or I really believe in this approach because and share a personal example or two.
4. Why do you want this job?
Again, companies want to hire people who are passionate about the job, so you should have a great answer about why you want the position. (And if you dont? You probably should apply elsewhere.) First, identify a couple of key factors that make the role a great fit for you (e.g., I love customer support because I love the constant human interaction and the satisfaction that comes from helping someone solve a problem), then share why you love the company (e.g., Ive always been passionate about education, and I think you guys are doing great things, so I want to be a part of it).
5. Why should we hire you?
This interview question seems forward (not to mention intimidating!), but if youre asked it, youre in luck: Theres no better setup for you to sell yourself and your skills to the hiring manager. Your job here is to craft an answer that covers three things: that you can not only do the work, you can deliver great results; that youll really fit in with the team and culture; and that youd be a better hire than any of the other candidates.
6. What are your greatest professional strengths?
When answering this question, interview coach Pamela Skillings recommends being accurate (share your true strengths, not those you think the interviewer wants to hear); relevant (choose your strengths that are most targeted to this particular position); and specific (for example, instead of people skills, choose persuasive communication or relationship building). Then, follow up with an example of how youve demonstrated these traits in a professional setting.
7. What do you consider to be your weaknesses?
What your interviewer is really trying to do with this questionbeyond identifying any major red flagsis to gauge your self-awareness and honesty. So, I cant meet a deadline to save my life is not an optionbut neither is Nothing! Im perfect! Strike a balance by thinking of something that you struggle with but that youre working to improve. For example, maybe youve never been strong at public speaking, but youve recently volunteered to run meetings to help you be more comfortable when addressing a crowd.
8. What is your greatest professional achievement?
Nothing says hire me better than a track record of achieving amazing results in past jobs, so dont be shy when answering this interview question! A great way to do so is by using the S-T-A-R method: Set up the situation and the task that you were required to complete to provide the interviewer with background context (e.g., In my last job as a junior analyst, it was my role to manage the invoicing process), but spend the bulk of your time describing what you actually did (the action) and what you achieved (the result). For example, In one month, I streamlined the process, which saved my group 10 man-hours each month and reduced errors on invoices by 25%.
9. Tell me about a challenge or conflict youve faced at work, and how you dealt with it.
In asking this interview question, your interviewer wants to get a sense of how you will respond to conflict. Anyone can seem nice and pleasant in a job interview, but what will happen if youre hired and Gladys in Compliance starts getting in your face? says Skillings. Again, youll want to use the S-T-A-R method, being sure to focus on how you handled the situation professionally and productively, and ideally closing with a happy ending, like how you came to a resolution or compromise.
10. Where do you see yourself in five years?
If asked this question, be honest and specific about your future goals, but consider this: A hiring manager wants to know a) if youve set realistic expectations for your career, b) if you have ambition (a.k.a., this interview isnt the first time youre considering the question), and c) if the position aligns with your goals and growth. Your best bet is to think realistically about where this position could take you and answer along those lines. And if the position isnt necessarily a one-way ticket to your aspirations? Its OK to say that youre not quite sure what the future holds, but that you see this experience playing an important role in helping you make that decision.
11. Whats your dream job?
Along similar lines, the interviewer wants to uncover whether this position is really in line with your ultimate career goals. While an NBA star might get you a few laughs, a better bet is to talk about your goals and ambitionsand why this job will get you closer to them.
12. What other companies are you interviewing with?
Companies ask this for a number of reasons, from wanting to see what the competition is for you to sniffing out whether youre serious about the industry. Often the best approach is to mention that you are exploring a number of other similar options in the companys industry, says job search expert Alison Doyle. It can be helpful to mention that a common characteristic of all the jobs you are applying to is the opportunity to apply some critical abilities and skills that you possess. For example, you might say I am applying for several positions with IT consulting firms where I can analyze client needs and translate them to development teams in order to find solutions to technology problems.
13. Why are you leaving your current job?
This is a toughie, but one you can be sure youll be asked. Definitely keep things positiveyou have nothing to gain by being negative about your past employers. Instead, frame things in a way that shows that youre eager to take on new opportunities and that the role youre interviewing for is a better fit for you than your current or last position. For example, Id really love to be part of product development from beginning to end, and I know Id have that opportunity here. And if you were let go? Keep it simple: Unfortunately, I was let go, is a totally OK answer.
14. Why were you fired?
OK, if you get the admittedly much tougher follow-up question as to why you were let go (and the truth isnt exactly pretty), your best bet is to be honest (the job-seeking world is small, after all). But it doesnt have to be a deal-breaker. Share how youve grown and how you approach your job and life now as a result. If you can position the learning experience as an advantage for this next job, even better.
15. What are you looking for in a new position?
Hint: Ideally the same things that this position has to offer. Be specific.
16. What type of work environment do you prefer?
Hint: Ideally one thats similar to the environment of the company youre applying to. Be specific.
17. Whats your management style?
The best managers are strong but flexible, and thats exactly what you want to show off in your answer. (Think something like, While every situation and every team member requires a bit of a different strategy, I tend to approach my employee relationships as a coach...) Then, share a couple of your best managerial moments, like when you grew your team from five to 15 or coached an underperforming employee to become the companys top salesperson.
18. Whats a time you exercised leadership?
Depending on whats more important for the the role, youll want to choose an example that showcases your project management skills (spearheading a project from end to end, juggling multiple moving parts) or one that shows your ability to confidently and effectively rally a team. And remember: The best stories include enough detail to be believable and memorable, says Skillings. Show how you were a leader in this situation and how it represents your overall leadership experience and potential.
19. Whats a time you disagreed with a decision that was made at work?
Everyone disagrees with the boss from time to time, but in asking this interview question, hiring managers want to know that you can do so in a productive, professional way. You dont want to tell the story about the time when you disagreed but your boss was being a jerk and you just gave in to keep the peace. And you dont want to tell the one where you realized you were wrong, says Peggy McKee of Career Confidential. Tell the one where your actions made a positive difference on the outcome of the situation, whether it was a work-related outcome or a more effective and productive working relationship.
20. How would your boss and co-workers describe you?
First of all, be honest (remember, if you get this job, the hiring manager will be calling your former bosses and co-workers!). Then, try to pull out strengths and traits you havent discussed in other aspects of the interview, such as your strong work ethic or your willingness to pitch in on other projects when needed.
21. Why was there a gap in your employment?
If you were unemployed for a period of time, be direct and to the point about what youve been up to (and hopefully, thats a litany of impressive volunteer and other mind-enriching activities, like blogging or taking classes). Then, steer the conversation toward how you will do the job and contribute to the organization: I decided to take a break at the time, but today Im ready to contribute to this organization in the following ways.
22. Can you explain why you changed career paths?
Dont be thrown off by this questionjust take a deep breath and explain to the hiring manager why youve made the career decisions you have. More importantly, give a few examples of how your past experience is transferrable to the new role. This doesnt have to be a direct connection; in fact, its often more impressive when a candidate can make seemingly irrelevant experience seem very relevant to the role.
23. How do you deal with pressure or stressful situations?
Choose an answer that shows that you can meet a stressful situation head-on in a productive, positive manner and let nothing stop you from accomplishing your goals, says McKee. A great approach is to talk through your go-to stress-reduction tactics (making the worlds greatest to-do list, stopping to take 10 deep breaths), and then share an example of a stressful situation you navigated with ease.
24. What would your first 30, 60, or 90 days look like in this role?
Start by explaining what youd need to do to get ramped up. What information would you need? What parts of the company would you need to familiarize yourself with? What other employees would you want to sit down with? Next, choose a couple of areas where you think you can make meaningful contributions right away. (e.g., I think a great starter project would be diving into your email marketing campaigns and setting up a tracking system for them.) Sure, if you get the job, you (or your new employer) might decide theres a better starting place, but having an answer prepared will show the interviewer where you can add immediate impactand that youre excited to get started.
25. What are your salary requirements?
The #1 rule of answering this question is doing your research on what you should be paid by using sites like Payscale and Glassdoor. Youll likely come up with a range, and we recommend stating the highest number in that range that applies, based on your experience, education, and skills. Then, make sure the hiring manager knows that youre flexible. Youre communicating that you know your skills are valuable, but that you want the job and are willing to negotiate.
26. What do you like to do outside of work?
Interviewers ask personal questions in an interview to see if candidates will fit in with the culture [and] give them the opportunity to open up and display their personality, too, says longtime hiring manager Mitch Fortner. In other words, if someone asks about your hobbies outside of work, its totally OK to open up and share what really makes you tick. (Do keep it semi-professional, though: Saying you like to have a few beers at the local hot spot on Saturday night is fine. Telling them that Monday is usually a rough day for you because youre always hungover is not.)
27. If you were an animal, which one would you want to be?
Seemingly random personality-test type questions like these come up in interviews generally because hiring managers want to see how you can think on your feet. Theres no wrong answer here, but youll immediately gain bonus points if your answer helps you share your strengths or personality or connect with the hiring manager. Pro tip: Come up with a stalling tactic to buy yourself some thinking time, such as saying, Now, that is a great question. I think I would have to say
28. How many tennis balls can you fit into a limousine?
1,000? 10,000? 100,000? Seriously?
Well, seriously, you might get asked brainteaser questions like these, especially in quantitative jobs. But remember that the interviewer doesnt necessarily want an exact numberhe wants to make sure that you understand whats being asked of you, and that you can set into motion a systematic and logical way to respond. So, just take a deep breath, and start thinking through the math. (Yes, its OK to ask for a pen and paper!)
29. Are you planning on having children?
Questions about your family status, gender (How would you handle managing a team of all men?), nationality (Where were you born?), religion, or age, are illegalbut they still get asked (and frequently). Of course, not always with ill intentthe interviewer might just be trying to make conversationbut you should definitely tie any questions about your personal life (or anything else you think might be inappropriate) back to the job at hand. For this question, think: You know, Im not quite there yet. But I am very interested in the career paths at your company. Can you tell me more about that?
30. What do you think we could do better or differently?
This is a common one at startups (and one of our personal favorites here at The Muse). Hiring managers want to know that you not only have some background on the company, but that youre able to think critically about it and come to the table with new ideas. So, come with new ideas! What new features would you love to see? How could the company increase conversions? How could customer service be improved? You dont need to have the companys four-year strategy figured out, but do share your thoughts, and more importantly, show how your interests and expertise would lend themselves to the job.
31. Do you have any questions for us?
You probably already know that an interview isnt just a chance for a hiring manager to grill youits your opportunity to sniff out whether a job is the right fit for you. What do you want to know about the position? The company? The department? The team?
Youll cover a lot of this in the actual interview, so have a few less-common questions ready to go. We especially like questions targeted to the interviewer (Whats your favorite part about working here?) or the companys growth (What can you tell me about your new products or plans for growth?)
