the computer industry are becoming increasingly similar. They’re so similar now, and retail prices are so competitive, that service is the best way for a company to distinguish itself from the competition. This company has the best service record of all its competitors, and I believe it will dominate the business in the long run 11、问:公司有什么特别的方面使你最感兴趣?
答:我最感兴趣的是你们公司在拉丁美洲的发展。我父亲是一位军官,所以我们在拉美住了3年。我知道你们刚和那里的两家加工公司合资,接下来几年你们有什么计划呢?
----这是可以展示你对该公司的特定知识的另一个机会。如果你做了适当的调查研究,你回答这个提问是绝对没问题的。
Q: What particular aspect of the company interests you most?
A: Iam most interested in your Latin American developments. My father was an army officer, so we lived for three years in Latin America. I know youhave just entered joint ventures with two processing companies there. What are your plans for the next few years?
12、问:对我们最新的产品和广告你有什么见解?
答:你们的新广告好像是要表明早餐时间是家庭欢聚的时间,带有一定的健康意义。你们这样做是不是要纠正最近有关高脂食物的负面报道,而避免与传媒直接交锋?
----你应该对该公司的新产品和广告运作充分熟悉,从而能对之做有见识的、明智的评价。提供具体的建议和肯定的评价。
Q: What do you think of our newest product and ads?
A: It seems that your new ads are trying to show that breakfast time is family time, with a certain wholesomeness. Are you doing this to balance against the recent bad press about highfat foods, without attacking the issue directly? 13、问:告诉我你认为我们公司在业内有什么突出的优点?
答:以你们的低价策略和总部设在低消费区的运作,即使是在不景气的年份,相对实力和你们最相当的竞争对手而言,你们也还是处于有利地位。
----描述你认为公司做得非常好的事情,尤其是相对其竞争力而言。解释经济实力对一个公司来说是何等的重要。
Q: Tell me what you think our distinctive advantage is with in the industry.
A: With your low cost producer status and headquarters operation in a low cost area
of the country, you seem in a better position to be able to spend aggressively on R&D, even in a down year, compared to your closest rival. 14、问:作为一家企业,你认为我们哪些领域最易受攻击?
答:你们的现金状况和强大的生产阵容使你们成了一个吸引人的收购目标。这是我惟一最担心的事情。我曾为一家与别的企业合并的机构工作过,但我知道我能安然渡过风暴。 ----公司与其竞争对手相比做得不够的地方。解释经济实力对于一个公司来说是何等的重要,如果你热衷该企业,那么你对该工作的前景很可能早就胸有成竹了。
Q: Where do you think we’re the most vulnerable as a business?
A: Your cash position and strong product presence make you an attractive target for a takeover. That’s my only major concern. I have already worked for one organization that merged with another, but I also know I can weather the storm. 15、问:如果你来经营这家公司,你会有什么不同的做法?
答:我可能会进行调查研究,看是否低价卖掉轻工制造业而开始一个有挑战性的供应商关系项目。
----有建设性地表明你对该行业有足够的知识,有说服力地回答这个问题。获得这种知识的方法之一是通过与大量的公司内部人员交谈。这就是为什么这个问题能很快把那些“闲逛者”从认真的工作候选人中淘汰出来的原因。你同样可把问题调转,请教招聘者的意见。这样你可能会学到有价值的东西。
Q: What would you do differently if you ran the company?
A: I might investigate whether to sell off the light manufacturing businesses and start an aggressive supplier relations program.
16、问:你在应聘别的公司吗?应聘什么职位?
答:实际上我铁心要找一份餐馆经理的职位,所以我只是应聘餐馆管理培训项目。我最近面试过几家大型国有快餐连锁店,如SUPER BURGER和CLACKEY’S CHICKEN。 ----通常情况下,应聘者会通过说出一些与本行业无关的大公司及一些完全不同类别的工作名称来,给面试官留下印象。大错特错!面试官想听到的是你在面试的是同行业里同类公司(诸如他们的竞争者)的同类工作。这就证明你肯定是在找你兴趣范围里的工作,因此聘用你的风险会比较低。
Q: What other firms are you interviewing with, and for what positions?
A: Actually, I’ve definitely decided to pursue a career as a restaurant manager, so Iam applying only for restaurant managementtraining programs. I’ve recently had interviews with several other large national fastfood chains, such as Super Burger and Clackey’s Chicken.
17、问:你认为你的资深能力完全超出这份工作所需的能力吗?
答:不是。我的经验和资历只能是使我做得更好,并且,在我看来,我的设计技能有助于我
多卖一些书。我的商业经验能助我高效率地管理艺术部门,由此我可为公司省钱。最后,我认为我能够吸引更好的自由职业作家,因为我有很多行业关系。既然公司的投资想获得更高的利润,那么我的资历更有益于公司。再者,我能和我的上司建立长期的合作关系,如果我做得好的话,我期望能扩大我的责任范围以利用我其他方面的技能。
----大多数的人都没预料到他们会被问到他们是否有丰富的工作经验。这个问题很容易就给面试人选来个出其不意。准确地说这就是面试官的目的(企图/意向)。这位候选人毫不犹豫地回答了这个问题并对他自己的能力表现得完全自信。 Q: Do you believe you are overqualified for this position?
A: Not at all. My experience and qualifications make me do my job only better, and in my opinion, my good design skills help to sell more books. My business experience helps me run the art department in a costefficient manner, thus saving the company money. Finally, I think I’m able to attract better freelance talent because of all my industry contacts. My qualifications are better for the company, too, since you’ll be getting a better return for your investment. Again, I’m interested in establishing a longterm
relationship with my employer, and if I did well, I would expect expanded responsibilities that could make use of even other skills.
18、问:如果我们的竞争对手给你一份工作,你将会怎么做?
答:我会拒绝。我对这个行业里的其他公司不感兴趣,我想在耐克公司工作是因为我曾穿着耐克牌的产品,在多次赛跑中获胜。正因为我对使用耐克牌产品有真实的经历,我认为我有足够的说服力把公司的产品卖给零售商。
-----面试官试图断定面试者是否真正对该行业和公司感兴趣,或者他是否随便地挑选公司。对比你对该公司及其竞争者的认识,谈及你所接触过的公司产品或接受过的公司服务。从长远看,你认为哪一家经营者是最具生存能力的,为什么?这也同样是你询问面试官的见解的好时机。
Q: What would you do if one of our competitors offered you a position?
A: I’d say no. I’m not interested in other players in this industry. I want to work for Nike because I won a number of races wearing the Nike brand. Because of my positive experience with Nike, I know I’d be convincing selling your product to retailers. 19、问:为什么你准备辞去现在的工作?
答:我的兴趣在于回到银行业。我能负责很多公司的人力资源的管理工作,但我认为,作为一个贷款人的经验已为我招募新的贷款人纳入培训项目做了特别的准备。
-----给出2~3个你准备辞去目前这份工作的原因。集中体现你当前工作在发展方面受到的限制或缺少挑战。一定要指出为什么你相信现在这个职位会提供给你挑战的机会和你期望的另一些职责。
Q: Why are you ready to leave your current job?
A: My interest lies in returning to the banking industry. I can work in human
resources management in many environments, but I believe that my experience as a lender prepares me exceptionally well for recruiting new lenders into the training program.
20、问:是什么促使你想从事这类工作?
答:我读书时是幸运的,我遇到了很优秀的老师,我也想成为那样的老师,他不仅仅是鼓励孩子们如何学习,而且要树立一种能激励别人也想从教的榜样。从长远来看,那是我们在教学舞台上改变我们的教育能力的最好机会。
----面试官会想知道你对公司的产品和服务所抱的信心。运用个人的经验来证明你的兴趣和实力。在面试一份你理想的工作时,你的动机就是做你喜欢的事情而获得报酬。面试官会想知道你的兴趣是否和该特定的工作一致。
Q: What motivates you to do this kind of work?
A: I have been fortunate in my own schooling; I had wonderful teachers. I want to be that same kind of teacher, who not only encourages kids to learn but also sets an example that inspires others to want to teach. In the long run, that’s our best chance of turning around the quality of education in this state. 21、问:做这份工作,你想要什么样的工资待遇?
答:据你的工作简介,上面提到你们更喜欢一个有工程学博士学位的人,我希望你能考虑我的技能符合你们的最高要求的标准这个事实。所以,我希望的是一份属于这个职位工资范围里最高的工资。你能透露一下你们的工资范围吗?
----招聘者想淘汰那些金钱目标不现实的人。这个问题一针见血,它逼你对一个敏感的话题做出反应,假如你提一个太低的工资,你就显得没见识;太高了,那你又把自己的价位定得太高或失去了讨价的机会。最好就是反问招聘者,问他这个职位的工资范围, 然后让他对比你的学历程度和这个职位一般的要求作出考虑 Q: What salary would you expect for this job?
A: Based on your job description, which mentions that you prefer someone with a masters degree in engineering, I hope you consider the fact that my skills meet your highest standards. Therefore, Id expect a salary at the high end of your pay range for the position classification. Can you give me some indication of your range? 22、问:你可以带来什么别的人选不可能提供的新技能或新见解吗?
答:因为我已为这个行业里历史最长的一家公司工作过,我可以帮助公司避免一些我们在建立市场上所犯的错误。我认为保住主要的顾客基础比获取新的客户更为重要。 ----这个问题是问求职者为这份工作带来意外价值的动力。你是否仔细考虑过这份工作?是否斟酌过当前的工作部门里存在的限制和弱点及你自己独特的能力?假如你和另一位人选势均力敌,不分上下,要是你能证明“我可以提供你所要求的,然后还有别的什么”,那么这份工作就是你的了。 Q: What new skills or ideas do you bring to the job that other candidates aren’t likely to offer?
A: Because Ihave worked with the oldest player in this industry, I can help you
avoid some of the mistakes we made in our established markets. I think that retaining your core customer base is more important than securing new accounts right now 23、问:前一份工作里,什么是你希望完成但却不能完成的事情?
答:我曾被一笔预算困住,以致不能实施印制广告等市场活动,我想开发互动传媒,因为那些8~25岁的人对以计算机为载体的媒体有兴趣。
---回答这个问题应与回答:“为什么你准备辞去目前的工作?”用同一种方法。保持积极的态度谈及过去那份工作中你喜欢的东西和你在该工作上的才能,要避免过多地谈过去那份工作的缺陷。 Q: What would you like to accomplish that you werent able to accomplish in your last position?
A: I was hampered by a small budget that limited our marketing efforts to print ads and other traditional resources. Id like to explore interactive media, because the eighttotwentyfiveyearold category responds to computer based media.
24、问:在过去短短的几年时间里,你的职业动机是如何变化的?
答:当我开始做销售的时候,我从没意识到假如我离开销售行业会有多大损失。现在,即使我在找一份市场工作,但我还是想找与销售领域密切相关的公司。你们公司能吸引我的原因是你们的账户小组的概念可以使我与顾客的需求保持一致。
----叙述你从过去的工作中学会的东西,特别是你的技能和本领有特别明显的表现之处,你目前的动机应该和你面试的这份工作有很大的联系。
Q: How have your career motivations changed over the past few years?
A: When I started in sales, I didn’t realize how much Id miss it if I left. Now I want to stay close to the field organization, even though Im looking for marketing jobs. Your firm attracts me because the accountteam concept would keep me in tune with customer needs.
25、问:我为什么要聘用你?
答:我叔叔在这个行业里有过一个小规模的制造公司,尽管他后来卖掉了它,但我在那里工作了5个暑假,做过各种各样的临时工作。因此,我认为我是从最底层做起并了解这个行业的,且你要相信我知道作为一个工厂的经理我该学会一些什么东西。
----不要重复你的简历或应聘历史,提供一个或两个例子来说明为什么你要和这家特定的公司进行交谈。什么是你用来证明你的兴趣最有力的例子呢?这个问题通常都保留不问,但它总是在招聘者的脑子里。即使这个问题不问到,你也应该找机会在面试过程中说出来,大约就在你结束谈话的时候。 Q: Why should I hire you?
A: My uncle had a company that was a small scale manufacturer in the industry, and although he later sold the business. I worked there for five summers doing all sorts of odd jobs. For that reason I believe I know this business from the ground up, and you can be assured that I know what I’d be getting into as a plant manager here. 26、问:你的关键技能是什么?
