每位應徵者都希望自己能在求職面試中表現出色,獲得被錄用的機會。若要在面試中以英語輕鬆回答僱主的問題,事前準備功夫必定不能馬虎。可是,有時卻事與願違,自己準備十足的問題,僱主並沒有問;反而尖銳棘手的問題,卻被問過不停,讓人難以招架。
承接上星期的題目,這星期繼續探討這些「難題」及其建議回答,希望有助讀者避過所有問題陷阱,有智慧地回應面試官的刁鑽提問。
1. Q: What motivates you? 甚麼事情能激發你的積極性?
A: I’m happiest when I see a project through start to finish. 或
I get a real kick out of (從…中獲得刺激) running a team that is happy and knows it is successful.
2. Q: How do you handle criticism? 你怎樣處理批評?
A: I’m happy to be given constructive(有建設性的)criticism. In fact, being prepared to take such constructive criticism is the only way I can learn from mistakes and improve my performance.
3. Q: Do you take directions well? 你能欣然接受指示嗎?
A: Definitely. And I don't see how a team can function effectively unless its members are happy to take directions from the team leader.
4. Q: Do you consider your career so far successful? 你認為到目前為止你的事業成功嗎?
A: What matters to me – more than money or status – is to have a job which is interesting and stimulating, and I’ve been very lucky in that respect. So I would say my career so far has been successful.
5. Q: How would your boss describe you? 你的上司會怎樣描述你?
A: My boss would describe me as hard working, highly motivated and efficient. She’d say that I work well on my own initiative (主動積極), and I’m a supportive member of the team.
6. Q: What salary are you expecting? 你的期望薪酬是多少?
A: What salary would you pay for this post? 或
What salary range has been allocated to this post?
正面回答這條問題的風險很高,如你的回應價錢偏低,以後便沒有機會要求一個較佳的薪金;但如果你開價過高,必定會嚇怕僱主,不被錄用。或許大家可嘗試反問僱主,讓他們先給你一個薪酬範圍,然後再作回應。
7. Q: What do you dislike most at your present job? 你最不喜歡現職工作的哪樣事情?
A: I really enjoy my work. But sometimes, I get a little frustrated in a small company that I don’t get to meet customers as often as I’d like. That’s one of the reasons why this jobappeals to (有吸引力;引起興趣) me so much.
8. Q: What is your present boss’ greatest weakness? 你現在的上司有甚麼缺點?
A: To be honest, I’m lucky to have a very supportive boss who is good at her job and very easy to work with. I can’t think of anything – if I did, it would only be something so minor that it wouldn’t be worth mentioning.
回答這條問題時,應巧妙地迴避正面回應,千萬不要直接說出上司的任何負面東西,並說道若果真的有任何缺點,都只是微不足道,根本不值一提
