外企面試常見(jiàn)教育背景的英文問(wèn)題
一、 Education 關(guān)于教育背景的問(wèn)題
4. Why did you select your major area of study? 你為什么選擇了這個(gè)專(zhuān)業(yè)?
問(wèn)題分析： 外國(guó)面試官更喜歡提“為什么”的問(wèn)題， 他希望申請(qǐng)人是一個(gè)有主見(jiàn)的人。
回答示范1： I was quite good at mathematics and physics back in high school so I chose a related major, Telecommunications. I also applied for the major of computer science. You know, these two majors are the hottest these years.
點(diǎn)評(píng)1： 實(shí)話(huà)實(shí)說(shuō)。
回答示范2： As a matter of fact, I didn’t select the major of Geography Education at all, because I have never wanted to be a teacher. I had chosen Business Administration, Economics and Logistics Management when I applied to Zhongshan University, but unfortunately I failed to get into these hottest majors. The score I got on the College Entrance Examination was about ten points less than the minimum requirement. The school allocated me to a cold major, Geography Education, hehe. Luckily, I could select a second focus. I chose Public Relations Management to be my minor area of study. What was that saying? “When God closes the door, he opens a window.” Hehe.
點(diǎn)評(píng)2： 這個(gè)回答似乎很長(zhǎng)， 但是卻不得不這么長(zhǎng)。這是一個(gè)典型的中國(guó)特色， 如果你的分?jǐn)?shù)夠不上第一志愿， 學(xué)校就把你打入某一個(gè)“冷宮”專(zhuān)業(yè)去， 而你為了進(jìn)入這所一流的大學(xué)不得不屈服。這種怪現(xiàn)象制造出很多感覺(jué)自己比竇娥還冤的“冤男怨女”， 學(xué)著“地理教育”卻痛恨從事教師職業(yè)， 學(xué)著“國(guó)際政治”卻連國(guó)際新聞都懶得看!這個(gè)回答的優(yōu)點(diǎn)在于： 第一， 向外國(guó)面試官普及了一下中國(guó)特色; 第二， 強(qiáng)調(diào)了自己對(duì)商業(yè)和管理一貫的熱誠(chéng); 第三， 告訴對(duì)方其實(shí)自己高考只差10分才沒(méi)進(jìn)去最熱門(mén)的專(zhuān)業(yè); 第四， 自己是個(gè)不輕言放棄的人， 主修學(xué)不成用輔修來(lái)彌補(bǔ); 第五， 把上帝拉進(jìn)來(lái)， 顯出你的幽默。
回答示范3： I selected Business English as I was quite good at English back in high school. Apart from this, my high school teachers recommended that I select a major related to business, since I showed some good qualities for business management at a young age. So, I chose this major, business plus English, two in one, hehe.
點(diǎn)評(píng)3： 這個(gè)回答強(qiáng)調(diào)了自己的兩大優(yōu)點(diǎn)： 第一， 英語(yǔ)好; 第二， 早在高中就已經(jīng)是老師心目中適合從商的人。自夸而不著痕跡， 實(shí)在是高哇!
5. What subjects were your favorite? Why? 你最喜歡的課程是什么， 為什么?
問(wèn)題分析： 與中國(guó)面試官一樣， 對(duì)于應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生， 外國(guó)面試官經(jīng)常問(wèn)問(wèn)有關(guān)學(xué)業(yè)方面的問(wèn)題。面試官喜歡的申請(qǐng)人， 是對(duì)自己專(zhuān)業(yè)的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)分析得頭頭是道的人。
回答示范1： I liked Marketing Principles and Sales Management because the two courses provided us with the most up-to-date information on marketing and sales, including the origin and development of some famous brands, Pepsi, Nestle, and the local brands, Lining, Wang-lao-ji and so on. I felt that I already stepped into the business world when studying these courses. They were fantastic!
點(diǎn)評(píng)1： 喜歡的專(zhuān)業(yè)和自己申請(qǐng)的職業(yè)有緊密關(guān)聯(lián)， 而且提到知名品牌的名字， 很容易使人產(chǎn)生共鳴。
回答示范2： I like the subjects that include lots of experiments, for example, CAD and Circuit Design. I found that I can learn more quickly by doing experiments than only studying the theories. I guess it’s partly because I am good with my hands, and doing experiments gives me a chance to learn in a creative way.
點(diǎn)評(píng)2： 利用課程說(shuō)到自己“善于動(dòng)手”和“有創(chuàng)造力”的優(yōu)點(diǎn)， 不錯(cuò)。
回答示范3： My favorite courses are mostly in my minor area of study, Public Relations, as my major Geography Education is not really my interest. I like the courses of PR Crisis, Corporate Image and Media Relations not only because their content is interesting and useful, but also because they are taught in a very interactive way. Most teachers have an overseas MBA degree so they taught us as MBA students. It’s really cool, you know, we usually did the case studies on our own first, and then presented our opinions in front of the whole class. I loved those subjects!
點(diǎn)評(píng)： 的確有很多同學(xué)并不喜歡自己的主修課程， 那么， 請(qǐng)像這位同學(xué)一樣， 告訴面試官你真正的興趣在哪里。
6. What subjects were your least favorite? Why? 你最不喜歡的課程是什么?為什么?
問(wèn)題分析： 外國(guó)面試官往往更加辨證， 在問(wèn)完成功經(jīng)歷后一定要追問(wèn)失敗經(jīng)歷， 問(wèn)完喜歡什么科目之后也要問(wèn)問(wèn)不喜歡什么科目。
回答示范1： My least favorite courses include Marxism and Revolutionary History of China. I don’t like these subjects not because I am not a patriot─actually I love my country and I am fascinated by its revolutionary history. However, these subjects turned out to be disappointments as the textbooks and the ways they were taught were nothing but a repetition of the history subjects in our secondary school.
點(diǎn)評(píng)1： 在和老外面試的時(shí)候， 要注意文化差異， 他可能很難理解中國(guó)學(xué)生為什么不喜歡學(xué)“馬哲”和“中國(guó)革命史”， 所以你需要解釋一下， 這并非是我們不愛(ài)國(guó)， 而是這兩門(mén)課程幾十年如一日的老面孔， 學(xué)生在高中就已經(jīng)學(xué)過(guò)， 老師也不愿意對(duì)教學(xué)法進(jìn)行創(chuàng)新。
回答示范2： I found Macroeconomics and Microeconomics disappointing as well, for the reason that their information fell behind the times. For example, the exchange rate between RMB and USD stilled remained 8.3 : 1 in the text! You can imagine how disappointed we were. So I spent more time listening to the lectures on economics organized by the Student Union.
點(diǎn)評(píng)2： 這個(gè)答案相比而言更好一些， 因?yàn)樗w現(xiàn)出了申請(qǐng)人對(duì)知識(shí)的渴望， 以及在課堂上得不到知識(shí)時(shí)如何去自我進(jìn)修。
7. Other than the courses you studied, what is the most important thing you learned from your college experience? 除了學(xué)習(xí)方面， 你在大學(xué)里面最大的收獲是什么?
問(wèn)題分析： 外國(guó)面試官的思維往往非常直接， 他堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為， 只有在大學(xué)里面有巨大收獲的人， 才能在工作崗位上取得巨大收獲。所以說(shuō)， 千萬(wàn)不要天真地說(shuō)： 我在大學(xué)里學(xué)會(huì)了自理， 學(xué)會(huì)了安排自己的生活!暈， 這是baby的成就， 絕對(duì)不能拿到大學(xué)里面來(lái)說(shuō)了!
回答示范1： Well, I think the most important thing I have learnt in university is how to set appropriate goals and see them through. You know it is so easy for university students to waste time if they don’t set goals, so I set demanding goals to motivate myself. One is that I decided to get scholarships each year, the other one is that I decided to be the leader of a club on campus. Neither was easy, but in more than three years, I managed to achieve both. (點(diǎn)評(píng)： 面試官一定會(huì)追問(wèn)你是怎么實(shí)現(xiàn)兩個(gè)目標(biāo)的。) Getting scholarship wasn’t quite difficult for me. Running for Presidency of a club, however, was more difficult than I expected as there was so much competition. To achieve the goal I changed my strategy. I transferred from the Student Union to a newly-founded union. And within 6 months, I acquired more than 20 members and organized a few eye-catching activities. As a result, I became the leader of that club. I think I’ve learnt not only to set a demanding goal, but also how to overcome all the difficulties to achieve it.
點(diǎn)評(píng)1： 這是一個(gè)很漂亮的回答， 體現(xiàn)了自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)： 既能夠給自己設(shè)立比較高的目標(biāo)， 也擅長(zhǎng)克服困難， 實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)。面試官最喜歡的人選， 就是這種“目標(biāo)導(dǎo)向型”的申請(qǐng)人。
回答示范2： My biggest achievement in my college life, I think, is that I have learnt to make choices. You know, there are various activities and part time jobs on campus, each sounds attractive. I’ve carefully chosen some of them which can help to achieve my long term career goal. I have said “no” to lots of invitations, like the dancing contests each year. I only participated in one of them and decided that rehearsals occupy too much time. In my opinion, nothing is more important than making the right choice.
點(diǎn)評(píng)2： 這個(gè)回答符合我們一貫強(qiáng)調(diào)的“個(gè)性化”和“夸贊自己”兩個(gè)原則。
8. How did you finance your college education? 你大學(xué)的費(fèi)用是怎么樣支付的?(家里供還是自己打工?)
問(wèn)題分析： 很顯然， 和中國(guó)面試官相比， 老外更加青睞在大學(xué)就有賺錢(qián)能力的候選人， 并堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為他們的獨(dú)立性和能力比完全依賴(lài)父母的候選人要強(qiáng)得多。
回答示范： So far, my tuition and living expense are around 40,000 RMB. My parents offer two thirds of it and I pay the rest of it. I have been granted scholarship three times, making 5,000 RMB in total. Teaching and other part-time jobs made another 5,000.
點(diǎn)評(píng)： 很真實(shí)的回答， 同時(shí)也體現(xiàn)了自己的學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)好和社團(tuán)活動(dòng)很積極的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。
