人力资源之 求职面试　Interviewing for Employment

面试当天，你应选择职业化（dressed professionally）着装，准时到达面试地点。面试期间应关闭手机，并通过肢体语言流露出自信。在自我介绍时注意与面试官（interviewer）的眼神交流（make eye contact），握手时坚定有力。

面试官提问

面试过程中可能被问及的一些问题。

⊙Tell me a little bit about your qualifications.请跟我说说你的资历。

⊙Where did you complete university?你在哪里上的大学？

⊙Your last position was……is that right?你的上一个职位是……对吗？

⊙Why did you decide to leave your former post?你为什么要离开你之前的工作？

以实例说明能力

给出具体的例子（specific examples）来说明为什么你能胜任这个职位（position），不要只是重复你简历上的描述，你应该更注重展现自己的成果（accomplishments）和独特的技能（unique skills）。

⊙After completing my education, I started off my career with a position in advertising.

完成学业后，我在广告业开始了我的职业生涯。

⊙I decided to focus more on marketing research.我决定多做一些市场调查方面的工作。

⊙I have five years marketing experience, meaning both entry level and managerial positions.

我有5年的市场营销经验，做过初级职务和管理级职务。

⊙Most recently, I worked my way up from a mid-level position to being director of the marketing department.

在上个工作中，我从中级职位一路晋升为营销部的主管。

展示对面试公司的认识

通过事先调查的信息，在面试中充分展示（demonstrate）你对公司的认识。针对既得知识提出相关问题（relevant questions），让自己显得适合公司要求。

⊙I am very interested in your Biometric research.Because I have ten years experience in genetic research. I specifically wanted to ask you about areas for future advancement.

我对你们的生物统计学研究十分感兴趣，因为我在基因研究方面有长达10年的工作经验。我非常想向人咨询一下该研究的未来发展方向。

⊙Can you tell me more about the future direction your firm sees for environmental protection?In my last position I worked very closely with the government environmental bureau. Will you expand on the watershed project in the near future?

你能告诉我贵公司在环保方面的未来发展方向吗？在我的上个工作中我和政府环保局有过密切的合作。请问贵公司近期会在水土保持项目上有所扩展吗？

面对挑战性问题，保持诚实和自信

你很可能会遇到一些很有挑战性（challenging）的问题，但面试官并不会期待你是一个超人（superhuman）。所以，当被问到弱项（weak points）时，不妨如实相告，保持自信和真诚（maintain confidence and sincerity）。

A：Have you ever worked in computer programing before?

B：I have done some work in tech support, but this will be the first time to do full on computer programing. Even though it is new for me, I learn really quickly.I have confidence I can get the hang of thing in no time at all.

A：你之前有过电脑编程方面的工作经验吗？

B：我做过一些技术支持的工作，但全职的电脑编程还是第一次接触。虽然我在这方面是个新手，但我有很强的学习能力。我相信我在短期内就能掌握要领。

A：If we hired you as creative director, what kind of changes would you make to our current layout?

B：To be honest, I haven't considered that in very much depth. I have some very good ideas for design improvements, but I would like to think it over in more detail and get back to you, if that's alright.

A：如果我们雇你为创意总监，你打算对我们现在的设计形式做何改变？

B：坦白地说，我在这方面还没有更深入地考虑过。我在改进产品设计方面有一些不错的点子，但如果可以的话我想在考虑周全后再汇报给你。

尽量展示真我

公司举办面试的主要目的是了解你是个什么样的人，以及你能为公司带来什么。所以，在面试中尽量表现出你真实的一面（be yourself）。你的回答应主要集中体现你的独特技能、天赋和兴趣。通过与面试官分享这些信息，你可以从众多的面试者中脱颖而出（surpass other interviewees）。

A：We've already had over fifty applicants for this position. What sets you apart from all the other candidates?

B：I think something I can offer that is different from everyone else is that I can speak several languages fluently. I have experience in interculturalcommunication, and I can help your station to reach a wider audience.

A：已经有50多个候选人在竞争这个职位了，你觉得什么能让你和其他面试者拉开距离呢？

B：我和其他人不同的地方在于我能流利地使用多门外语。我在跨文化交流方面有一定的经验，我能帮助你们电台获得更多的听众。

估算预期工资范围

工资是你会被问到的问题之一。可以参考你最近一个职位的工资以及行业标准（industry standard salary），结合你的期望值，定一个预期范围。

⊙I am willing to negotiate, but I expect at least$40，000 a year.我很愿意协商，但我希望一年最少能挣4万美元。

⊙I am sure you agree the industry standard for this position is$20，000 per year plus commissions. I won't accept less than what is fair.

我确信你会同意这个行业的标准工资是每年2万美元，外加佣金。超出合理范围的话我恐怕就难以接受了。

⊙In my last position I earned$70，000 a year.I expect at least as much in any new position.

我的上一个职位一年能挣7万美元，我希望新职位的薪酬能至少和以前持平。

总结

如果准备充分的话，你就能在面试中展现出一个有思想的、专业的、称职的自我。这不仅能给你的面试官留下好印象，还能帮助你面试成功。
