外企英文面试最常见的问题

　　Here are good answers to some of the tougher questions asked in job interviews. If you can smoothly supply answers like these during the interview, you are bound to make a good impression.

　　1. What is important to you in a job?

　　Mention specific rewards other than a paycheck for example, challenge, the feeling of accomplishment, and knowing that you have made a contribution.

　　2. Why do you want to work for this organization?

　　Cite its reputation, the opportunities it offers, and the working conditions. Stress that you want to work for this organization, not just any organization.

　　3. Why should we employ you?

　　Point to your academic preparation, job skills, and enthusiasm about working for the firm. Mention your performance in school or previous employment as evidence of your ability to learn and to become productive quickly. If the job involves management responsibilities, refer to past activities as proof of your ability to get along with others and to work as part of a team.

　　4. If we hire you, how long will you stay with us?

　　Answer by saying along these lines: "As long as my position here allows me to learn and to advance at a pace with my abilities."

　　6. What are your greatest strengths?

　　Give a response like one of the following: "I can see what needs to be done and do it", "I''m wiling to make decisions", "I work well with others," "I can organize my time efficiently."

　　7. What are you greatest weakness?

　　Identify one or two, such as the following:" I tend to drive myself toohard", " I expect others to perform beyond their capacities", " I like to see a job done quickly, and I''m critical if it isn''t."

　　8. What didn''t you like about previous jobs you''ve held?

　　Discuss the things you didn''t like, but avoid making slighting reference to any of your former employers.

　　9. How do you spend your leisure time?
