求職指南：外企最常問的10大問題（上）
外企面試通常包括三輪: 第一輪面試一般由公司人力資源部的人員擔任考官；第二輪面試一般由用人部門的主管或經理主持；如果有必要的話，應聘者還要參加由公司高層管理者擔任主考官的第三輪面試。
在第一輪面試中，主考官一般會讓應聘者用英語進行自我介紹，然后就應聘者目前的工作、所應聘的職位、應聘者的職業(yè)規(guī)劃、薪水期望、個性特征等提問。在第二輪面試中，主考官通常會就應聘者的專業(yè)技術、業(yè)務能力、解決問題能力、團隊精神、時間管理能力、抗壓能力等方面提問。在第三輪面試中，主考官一般會考察應聘者對所應聘公司的文化、政策、業(yè)務、發(fā)展前景等方面的了解情況。
本文關注的是面試中出現的常規(guī)難題，筆者將對這些問題進行全面剖析，并提供相應的參考回答。

01 工作經歷
What is the biggest accomplishment in your current position?
應答思路
主考官往往會通過問及應聘者目前工作的一些情況，譬如其職責范圍、所遇到的問題、所取得的成就等, 來了解應聘者是否適合他所應聘的職位。因此，應聘者應當就如何回答這些問題做好充分準備?；卮饐栴}時，要實事求是，同時盡可能突出自己具備應聘職位所需的條件。

02 應聘職位和公司情況了解
Then why do you want to leave them and join us?
應答思路
應聘者可以從以下幾個方面來回答這一常規(guī)難題。
1???? 簡單提及應聘者目前所在公司的缺陷，譬如缺乏晉升機會、沒有進一步發(fā)展的空間等，但要注意點到為止。然后應重點強調所應聘公司的優(yōu)勢，如企業(yè)文化、規(guī)模、名譽、培訓機會等。
2???? 強調所應聘職位的優(yōu)勢，如具有挑戰(zhàn)性和較大發(fā)展空間等。
3???? 強調應聘職位符合自己的興趣。
4???? 說明自己能為所應聘職位和公司做出有價值的貢獻。
參考回答
Well, the company where I’m working is not bad. The problem is that my job responsibilities are rather routine and secretarial. I like challenges, therefore, I hope to move on and get a more challenging job so that I can use my initiative. Your company is large and has a good reputation, and there is more scope for development.
03 職業(yè)規(guī)劃
How do you see yourself in ?ve years’ time?
應答思路
對于職業(yè)規(guī)劃的問題，應聘者可以從以下兩方面來組織回答。
1???? 為自己設置一個目標或規(guī)定一個發(fā)展方向。應該注意的一點是：所設置的目標一定是可以實現的，而非虛無縹緲的幻想。
2???? 以實例闡述自己將如何實現這一目標，如參加培訓、向同事學習等。回答問題時應突出自己積極向上的心態(tài)，并充分使用例證使自己的回答具有說服力。
參考回答
I see myself moving up through marketing analysis into brand management and eventually running a department. I’m aware that there are several skills I need to develop in the meantime, and I believe with your continuing-education program and my motivation for self-improvement, I’ll have those skill s when the opportunity comes for greater responsibility.

04 薪資期望
What salary would you expect for this job?
應答思路
對于這一問題，應聘者一般應采取盡量模糊的方式或避免回答。可以利用以下兩種回答來應付主考官：“I’m aware of the range in the marketplace. I’m sure you’ll come up with a most appropriate offer that will be based on my background and ability.”“ I would expect some increase from my existing salary. I feel con?dent that a company like yours wil come up with a good offer.”
如果主考官刨根問底，應聘者可以報一個大概的薪酬范圍，可以說：“I have looked at several sources of wage information. A position like this one typical y makes between $40,000 and $45,000 a year. Does that ?t in with your salary range?” 當然，如果應聘者確實具備優(yōu)勢的話，也可以通過反問主考官，變被動為主動，這時可以參考以下回答。
參考回答
Based on your job description, which mentions that you prefer someone with a master’s degree in engineering, I hope you consider the fact that my skills meet your highest standards. Therefore, I’d expect a salary at the high end of your pay range for the position. Can you give me an idea of the range?

05 個性特征
Please describe your personality.
應答思路
在回答這一問題時，應聘者應著重強調自己具備應聘職位所需的個人素質和性格特征。這一點在前文中已詳細論述過。以下參考回答適用于人力資源職位的應聘者。
