《直擊求職英語面試》
上周,我陪一位朋友去參加某外企的英語面試。全程30分鐘,緊張得像在演一場沒有劇本的舞臺(tái)劇。她臨場發(fā)揮得好,最終拿下offer?;貋砗笪覐?fù)盤了幾個(gè)經(jīng)典問題,決定寫下來——不是教你背答案,而是讓你看清:真正的英語面試,拼的是“表達(dá)力”和“真實(shí)感”。
Q1: Tell me about yourself.
別一上來就說“I’m a hardworking person.” 這句話在英文里就像中文說“我是個(gè)好人”,誰信?我朋友當(dāng)時(shí)沒背模板,而是說:“I started my career in marketing, but what really excites me is how data can tell stories. That’s why I’m here today—to bridge creativity and analytics.” 她用具體經(jīng)歷帶出性格,還自然銜接到崗位需求,考官眼睛都亮了。
Q2: Why do you want to work here?
很多人會(huì)說“We’re global!” 或者 “Your values align with mine.” 太空洞!我朋友的回答是:“I’ve followed your sustainability reports for two years—I even shared one on LinkedIn last month. Your commitment to reducing carbon footprint isn’t just PR—it’s embedded in your product design. That’s the kind of company I want to grow with.” 她把“研究過這家公司”變成加分項(xiàng),細(xì)節(jié)讓回答有溫度。
Q3: What’s your biggest weakness?
別答“Perfectionism.” 一聽就是假的。我朋友說:“I used to avoid asking for help because I thought it showed weakness. But after joining a crossborder team, I realized collaboration is strength—not failure. Now I proactively seek feedback early.” 她不回避缺點(diǎn),反而講出成長路徑——這才是高級(jí)回答。
最后我想說:英語面試不是翻譯考試,而是你能否用英文講清楚“你是誰、你為什么值得被選中”。那些聽起來“完美”的句子,往往最沒靈魂。反而是帶著一點(diǎn)小緊張、一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)真誠,才能打動(dòng)人心。
如果你也在準(zhǔn)備英語面試,記住:少練套路,多練“說出你自己”。畢竟,沒人想聽AI說話,他們只想聽你說話。
