英文面试怎么准备,10大必考题目回答范例来了!

英文面试

 

随着国内越来越多外资公司驻进,以及许多公司将自己的产品或服务转向全球化,在沟通上,英文逐渐成为了国内求职者不可或缺的能力了,这样的现样,对传统建筑行业公司来说,也不是例外。

也之所以很多的求职者经常会遇到,要以全英文的模式进行面试。

听到全英文面试,应该有许多人会觉得很可怕,压力很大,甚至会想要避免这件事发生。这种思维再加上原本就不常使用英文,在无形之中其实会导致英文能力逐渐下降。大家可以看有关新闻的调查,英语能力从原本的全球第80名,两年之内,掉到全球第100名。

身为求职者应该要更关心这件事,尤其是刚毕业的社会新鲜人,以及还在转换跑道的就业者,能用英文沟通是一项很加分的技能,不过在未来,它将会慢慢成为必备的技能。

筑招网小编在这篇文章中,除了会教大家如何让自己的英文能力进步,还会提供10个英文面试必考题的回答范例给大家参考!

 

做这3件事:多听、多看、多讲
 

英文面试要做的好,最基础的方式就是提升英文能力,网上有需多如何把英文练好的教学与方法,筑招网小编帮大整理了一个压缩版,主要做到三件事情:

多听
相信大家都听说过,环境驱使下,可以让语言的学习更加有效率,常常会听到有人说:「学英文最快的方法就是丢到国外去,生活几个月或几年。」所以,真的无论在台湾怎么学、英文还是没有办法比的上去国外留学过,或待过一段时间的人吗?

其实未必,但是环境确实能加快学习速度,关键在于常接触。

所以第一件要做的事情就是多听。在国内如果你不是在国际学校、外资公司其实要听到一次完整的英文对话,机率很小,所以我们要自己制造机会。

而很刚好的,2020年因疫情的关系,越来越多人创作Podcast节目,而易情趋缓后,听Podcast却成为了许多人的习惯,不管是在上下班通勤,还是睡前,又或着是悠闲的周末下午,都很适合听!筑招网小编在这里推荐几个学习英文的Podcast:

1. 通勤学英语

一个一集平均5分钟学英文的Podcast,每一集都会以一篇国际新闻为主题,自己的网站上还有提供文字稿,可以利用通勤时边听边读,是很多人认为有效的学习方式。如果方便,可以试着练习念出文稿,用反复练习的方式,让自己不背文法学对话,每天只要花15分钟跟读,提升英语力。

2.  All Ears English Podcast

两位女生,正常美国人的对话语速,主播很有活力,听了不会无聊想睡觉,Podcast主要教你如何运用美式英语进行日常对话;也会不时介绍一些常用片语。每一集都会有不一样的主题,像是谈论美国文化,习俗,礼仪等等。建议大家可以到网站去看看,选择自己喜欢的主题,会更投入,学习速度也会更快。

3.  Speak English Now

每一集都有一个简短的故事,使用问与答的方式,倡导不背不用学文法,学习英语日常生活对话与问答文法,建议一集听一到两次,主持人为了让听众可以更清楚的听到,学习到,语速使用相对比较慢,如果有需要,可以调快语速,让自己更习惯一般的英文沟通速度。

想知道更多英文的Podcast,可以到这里看看。Podcast听腻了,其实大家也可以选择听听英文的音乐,多少也有一点帮助!

多看
第二件事情是要多看。Babbel Magazine有一份报告,告诉大家如何用五感学习,尤其是学习一个语言的时候,特别有帮助:

多看有两个层面:多看书、多看影片

看书:

大家可能会觉得看书只有使用一个感官– 眼晴。但其实不只,因为我们在看书时,脑中,甚至有时候不自觉的,嘴巴会念出读过的字。而如果可以读,对自己来说,有兴趣的书籍,会更有帮助。建议可以从读小说开始,因为这类书籍的情境与对话相较的多,用词也不会太过技术性,甚至还可以发挥想像,让自己加深印象。

筑招网小编还有一个特别建议:在读书时,不要一直翻字典,这样会显得跟背单字没有两样,读书的经历会很不愉快。多利用整句话、整个段落的内容猜测这个词的意思,只有在真的不懂才在去查。

看影片:

我们在看英文影集时,除了用到我们的视觉以外,同时也用了听觉。一次以两种方式接收资讯,一定会学得比较快、记的比较久。除此之外,一般在看影片时,心情是放松愉快的,这样的学习方式不会带给自己任何的压力。

所以想学英文的人,建议可以多看一些美剧,英剧影片,不一定要看教学影片,只要是使用英文的影片都很适合,同时做到休闲又学习的效果!

多讲
这件事情对中国人来说,可能是最难的,原因有两个:身边没有人讲英文以及容易不好意思。

身边没有人讲英文,是一件比较难解决的事,总不可能为了讲英文,把朋友家人都换到。筑招网建议可以跟一些也想进步学英文的朋友,一起创立一个[ 说英文的聚会] ,以一周一次,或是看大家的时间为期,内容自己选择。在聚会中,大家都只能使用英文来对话。如此一来,就制造了多讲英文的机会。

在国内,多数的人不管做什么事情,都很容易不好意思,怕有异样的眼光看向自己,怕被笑。就连在做擅长、拿手的事也会收敛,更不用说做自己不太熟悉的事了。讲英文亦是如此,很多人都不太敢讲,怕说错,最后就不讲了。有一篇文章也有说到:学语言最重要的,还是学习的态度。

英文文法用错,单字不懂,被纠正了确实是很尴尬、不好受的过程,但大家不应该把它认为是一件丢脸的事,跨过这个障碍,多讲英文,进步的会更快,对英文面试也会有很大的帮助!

 

以下的10个面试问题,其实不管在中文或是英文,回答得概念都是一样的,只是语言不同,所以细节以及用词会不一样,筑招网小编在大部分的问题都有更深入的文章,提供给有兴趣或需要的人更深刻了解回答的架构,英文面试中必考的10题。
1. 请你简短的自我介绍
Tell me about yourself.

这是一个最基本的问题,100%会被问到,通常出现在面试的一开始。除了要简单介绍自己之外,更要把自己的相关工作经验和技能告诉对方,这是全世界的雇主都会想了解的部分。以下是正确与错误的回答范例:

O

Hello, my name is Michael. I began my career in retail management, but 3 years ago, I took a course to become a front-end software engineer. I've always been interested and skilled at creating something from scratch. My experience successfully helped me with organizing my thoughts logically, and I've been building a career as a front-end software engineer ever since.

X

Hello, my name is Michael. I have a wonderful family with my father and my mother, and a little brother. We also have a dog, he's very cute. I went to school in Taipei for my entire life, and graduated long time ago. I worked for 3 years in retail, then I wanted to do something else, and make more money, so I became a front-end engineer for 2 years.

 

2. 你遇过哪些困难或挑战?
What challenges have you faced? How did you handle them?

你是怎么面对的?面试时,面试官会利用这个问题,来考验你的逻辑。要让面试官知道你能发现问题、设计解决方案、提出完善计画。以下是正确与错误的回答范例:

O

In my previous job, I noticed that there is an anomaly in the performance of our website. I quickly realized that it was due to a CTA link misplacement. I came up with two solutions: completely remove the CTA or use a redirection landing page to be able to continue tracking website traffic. After discussion with the team, we decided to go with the second option, which results in a 15% increase in website traffic in the end.

After this incident, I suggested my manager to implement a two-step QA process. Since then, we have never seen any problems like that again.

X

When I was working at my previous job, found out there is a problem with the website I worked on. It was the CTA not working. I suggested to make another landing page, and my team agreed. So we spent more time to create another landing page to cover for the CTA traffic, so we can keep tracking numbers. It was really helpful in the end.

But after that, we had to be more careful and asked the QA team to help us double check, so this issue does not happen again.

 

3. 你的优缺点是什么?
What are your strengths and weaknesses?

优缺点的面试问题也是公司非常看重的地方,而面试官之所以会问「 优缺点」的原因,是他们要知道公司是否能从你身上获得他们所需要的,以及公司未来可能会要辅助你哪方面的需求。以下是正确与错误的回答范例:

O

I believe leadership is my one of my top strengths. During my time as a front-end software team lead, I successfully merged two teams, constructed and conducted a training session for the team members, making sure everyone is confident with the new role their were heading into. The new team bought great success in the first month, bringing engagement rate for the for our website up by 5%.

My weakness is that I am an idealist. Every time I complete a project, I tend to think that it could be better. Although it already received a lot of complements. For this reason, I overwork myself quite a lot, and feels tired from time to time. I have started to fix this problem by receiving assistance from my team members, I have already made good progress, and will continue to do so.

X

My strength is I am a good leader. I helped merge two teams in my previous company, and team members all like each other and work fine with each other, too. They have showed great promises, and I am very proud of them and of what I have done.

My weakness is that I like everything to be perfect. So when one thing is done, I always have to spend extra time to double check the work. If it is not perfect from my opinion, I will ask the team to improve it and we do it together. I have tried to let go of this, but it is hard, I just want to see things perfectly completed.

 

4. 你的职涯目标是什么?
What are your career goals? Where do you see yourself in 1/3/5 years?

你认为一/三/五年后的自己会在做什么?- 人才未来的规划会影响公司的结构。虽然求职者在这一题给出的答案,跟他本身的工作能力没有太大的关系,但是跟他在公司未来成长上,以及能不能成为公司的梁柱有莫大的关系。面试官会希望了解求职者对职涯想法,以此确认在这份工作的长期发展上,这位求职者适不适合。以下是正确与错误的回答范例:

O

The career plan that I set for the coming year, as a front-end engineer, is to continue to follow the trend and future direction of the technology era, developing innovative and efficient ways to solve problems. And be able to use my positive, active, and beginner's mindset to integrate into the company culture.

In addition, no matter where I end up, I plan to understand the core of being in a team, and become a good partner who is willing to listen and communicate, as to find the most efficient way of cooperation.

Finally, I plan to pick up a front-end related skill or tool every quarter this year, to accumulate experience and take more management responsibilities, in the hope to become a great supervisor in the future.

X

The plan for me this year is to learn more things, and be able to enjoy working as a front-end engineer. I want to learn more skills to make things easier for me and for the team. So we can finish our work faster and more efficiently.

Also I want to become more understanding for my team members. Listen to them more and tell them what is on my mind as well. This way we can work together in a more open way, and this will help us improve.

Finally, I promise myself that I will learn a front-end related skill or tool each quarter this year, to become better, so I can become a manager. After that, I will be able to help many newbies.

 

5. 你为什么离开上一份工作?
Why did you leave your last job?

在这个竞争的时代,人才的技术、能力、经验都很好,企业在征才时,反而更重视文化了,所以人资在注意的是,你有没有跟公司一样的文化,进公司后会不会做的开心,所以才会想要了解你离开前公司的主要原因是什么。以下是正确与错误的回答范例:

O

First of all, my former company's management believes that the success of operations are based on effectiveness, which I absolutely agree with. However, from a cultural perspective, to maintain a certain level of effectiveness, I think it should be based on the happiness of the employees. So made a difficult decision to leave the company to go on a search this kind of environment. From your company's culture, I can see that this is also something you care about very much, that's why I was very eager to meet with you.

X

I left my previous company because the boss thinks that only hardworking can bring success for the company. I disagree with him, and I think it will be better if the employees can be happy working there. So I am trying to find somewhere that have the same mindset as me. Then I found your company, and from looking at your company culture, I think you care about that a lot, too.

 

6. 目前为止你最满意的工作成就?
What is your biggest achievement during your career?

很多时候,求职者遇到这一题时,可能会需要想很久,害怕经验不够吸引面试官,又或着是单纯想不到。企业想要听你讲这一题,除了想了解你的成就以外,还想考验你叙述一件事情的能力。以下是正确与错误的回答范例:

O

In my former company, there was an opportunity to speak for a presentation, on the construction of the logic behind our website, for the entire company and VIP customers, in a 3-hour seminar. I fought for and got the opportunity to represent the front-end engineering department.

I had to prepare for a 45-minute presentation. At that time, my task was not only to investigate the e-commerce market, but also to condense a large amount of information in just 35 minutes, because I was asked to reserve 10 minutes for questions and answers.

I believed that it was a good opportunity for the audience to think outside the framework, so I planned for the audience to participate in the presentation: audience interaction, interesting photos and videos, and accurate data. To let the audience fully understand my point of view, I chose a creative format, which turned the audience into a part of my presentation, maximizing the interaction.

My department received great feedback and evaluation, and were invited by our VIP customers to give another presentation at their coming annual conference. In addition, the presentation was also written into a report for the company's reference. This is definitely one of my greatest achievements.

X

My greatest achievement is that I spoke at a seminar for our company and our VIP customers. The presentation went really well, everyone was happy with the outcome. I hoped they learned a lot from the presentation because I really put a lot of work into it.

And because it went so well, our boss was really happy and he praised my department in front of the whole company. We were also asked to go speak at other companies, too.

 

7. 你在工作以外的兴趣是什么?
What are your personal interests/hobbies outside of work?

判断一个人是否合适一个职缺,除了工作职能之外,求职者的人格特质亦是相当关键的评估点。面试问题「你的兴趣是什么?」并非单纯想要与求职者聊天,而是希望可以透过面试者的答案,了解他的性格与价值观。以下是回答范例以下是正确与错误的回答范例:

O

One of my hobbies is jogging. It is something that I do 3-4 times a week. When I'm jogging, I have clear goal to reach, and for that reason, my mind becomes extra clear. Some of my best work-related ideas actually came to me when I was jogging.

I believe my hobby will help me as a front-end software engineer because on a day-to-day basis, I have to face many complex situations. With a clear mind, I will be able to construct efficient ways to resolve issues.

X

I love to jog. I spend a lot of time doing it. I am also looking for other hobbies but currently nothing else has interests me like jogging does. I think it feels good after you jog, its like taking a break from work and life, and clear your mind.

I think this helps me with my job because we are only human. Once awhile we need to take a break from the difficulties and learn to enjoy ourselves, so we can be recharged to work again.

 

8. 为什么想来我们公司?
Why did you want to join our company?

这一题,很多时候是由老板亲自发问,尤其是在新创公司。为这一题的原因是有两个,1. 他们想要知道,你能不能成为愿意跟公司一起奋斗的一员。2. 他们想要知道,你对公司了解到什么程度。以下是正确与错误的回答范例:

O

The reason why I want to join you is for your touching and admirable mission and culture.

I have personally experienced the pain-point that you mentioned during our conversation. It was really a difficult time, I faced the same thing in my two previous job. I wish to completely eliminate this problem for all the job seekers.

The cultures and mission at your company fits the description with my personal attitude. I believe your company is heading to the right direction, and will soon bring great success in this matter. This is also why I would love to be part of the contribution.

X

 

The reason why I want to join you is because I like what you are doing.

I also needed help like this back then, but there were nothing like that. It was very sad and hard for me, if you existed back then, I would be so much happier. I want to make that happen for many others.

Also, I think are you definitely doing the right thing, although, it will be very hard to achieve. I want to give it a try because it is worthwhile.

 

9. 你对加班有什么想法?
What do you think about overtime?

相信大家对这个面试问题并不陌生,但当这个问题从面试官口中讲出时,内心不免一阵尴尬与挣扎。当然每个人对加班的感受,以及意愿度都不一样,所以回答时要考虑到自己心里真正的感受。以下是正确与错误的回答范例:

 

O

I think it's a good thing to be able to work wholeheartedly. I am also the kind of people that continue to strike for improvement and creating values. However, regarding overtime, I hope to understand the company's overtime status and the reasons for overtime.

X

I think it is good to work very hard for something that you believe in. So if I believe in what the company is doing, then I think working overtime is totally fine. However, sometimes, I will have to be with my families, so I might not be able to always do that.

 

10. 你有什么想问我们的问题吗?
Do you have any questions for us?

职场上有各式各样的人,每个人所追求的职涯也都不一样,有的人想要薪水高,有的人想要工作与生活平衡,有的人想要不断地尝试各种的工作,而在不同的职涯阶段,许多事情都有可能再次改变!所以想要了解公司,就要问问题,但是有些问题可以问,而有些不能。以下是正确与错误的回答范例:

O

Yes, I have a couple questions for you:

1. In order to fully understand where the company stands, could you please elaborate on the company's culture, which we talked about earlier?

2. What kind of people are your employees? Are there any key qualities that all of them possessed?

X

Yes, I have some questions for you.

1. I'm not sure of your company culture, can you tell me what they are?

2. What kind of people are your employees? Will I need some kind of qualities in order to get alone with them?
