外企面试最常见的英文问题及答案-职业目标及提问

六、 关于职业目标的问题

32. Where do you see yourself being in your profession in five years? Why did you establish these goals? 你的五年职业目标是什么？你为什么会确定这样的职业目标？

问题分析： 与中国面试官相比， 老外更加重视这个问题。在这个问题上， 面试官捕捉的信息点是： 第一， 这个家伙是个有计划有目标的人吗？第二， 他对自己所申请的职业了解吗？他知道这个职位的下一步是什么吗？第三， 这个家伙所制定的职业目标切合实际吗？此外， 外国面试官往往是你未来的直线经理或者顶头上司， 与人力资源部的面试官相比， 他更希望遇到一个已经斩钉截铁地决定要在这个领域里发展的申请人。

回答示范1： Well, I hope I can be a brand manager in five years or so. Launching and managing a brand, introducing it to as many customers as possible, in my opinion, will bring me great job satisfaction.

点评1： 对于有志从事市场推广活动的应届毕业生， 这个答案可谓中规中矩了。

回答示范2： In five years? I think there are two possibilities. I will either be working as a senior in sales, or I will join a management team as a sales manager. You know during the past three years I worked my way up from sales rep to sales team leader, and I’ve felt that both positions have their own attractions. So, in five years, I would be happy to be head of sales at a company, or, if I can be a team leader in such a huge company like Siemens, that would be even better.

点评2： 在小公司里， 要一个高职位往往很容易。如果是在大公司求职， 你可以尽量淡化对高职位的向往， 而强调对工作内容本身的追求。

33. What will you do to achieve your career goals? 为达到职业目标你会做什么？

问题分析： 在这个问题上， 面试官要捕捉的信息点有两个： 第一， 你为实现目标而要采取的措施是否非常合乎实际？第二， 你所申请的这份工作， 能否给你机会让你去一步一步实现自己的职业理想？

回答示范1： To achieve my career goals, I think performance is the answer. If I perform well in the current position, I would naturally win the trust of the management team and move on to the next step of my career path. So, what I’ll do is to work hard, and achieve good results at my job.

点评1： 说得很对， 把本职工作做好了， 升职机会自然就来了。任何单位都喜欢这样脚踏实地的人。

回答示范2： My long term career goal requires a wide range of skills. What I’ll do is to keep improving myself, at work and through self-training outside work. As a matter of fact, I’ve already started. I’ve enrolled in a two-month English training program in New Oriental because I know English is important for my job.

点评2： 这个答案很精彩， 除了列举了未来会做什么， 更为动人的是说自己已经开始行动了！

34. What are your salary expectations for this position? Starting salary? Salary in five years? 你期望的薪资是多少？你希望五年以后你的薪资是多少？

问题分析： 必问的问题。

回答示范1： I expect to have a salary between 4,000 and 5,000 as this is the average salary the students of our school can get. But we can negotiate that. As a new graduate I care about career development opportunities more than the starting salary. As to the salary in five years, frankly speaking, I haven’t even thought about it. The more the better, but of course, it depends on what I can do for the company.

点评1： 一个很适合应届毕业生的回答。

回答示范2： I make about 4,000 Yuan RMB now and I expect a salary from 5,000 to 6,000. It’s not so easy to tell how much I can make in five years. If I am still at the same position I don’t think the salary then will be too much different, however, I certainly hope I can do more important things for Adidas and then be offered a higher pay.

点评2： 一个很适合有经验申请人的回答。

七、 Questions 请提问

35. What questions do you have for me? 你有什么问题要问我的吗？

问题分析： 在这个问题上， 外国面试官要捕捉的信息点是： 第一， 你面试前做过足够的功课吗？第二， 你对自己所申请的职位， 有过深思熟虑吗？第三， 你是一个有想法的人吗？一个有思想有见解的人， 提出来的问题往往是有深度而且不流于形式的； 第四， 你是一个脚踏实地的人吗？一个踏实的人， 往往会更加关注具体的工作内容， 而不是问一个海阔天空的大问题。此外， 要注意到面试官的身份， 如果他来自HR部门， 你的问题可以和培训和职业发展有关系； 如果他来自业务部门， 你的问题最好和自己的工作职责有关。

回答示范1： My question may sound a bit stupid, but I really want to know, do you prefer to hire male sales reps more than females? You know it’s true in many other companies. I am a bit concerned about this you know because I really want this job.

点评1： 不错， 利用提问强调了自己对该职位的热诚， 同时也直言不讳地表示了自己的忧虑。女性申请人在申请以男性为主导的职位， 如销售职位时， 不妨直言询问对方对招聘对象性别的期望值， 以及女性在这样以男性为主导的团队中的职业发展问题。

回答示范2： May I know what the sales assistants before me are doing now, I mean, did they transfer to other positions or leave Nike?

点评2： 一个很实在的提问。如果你在一间比较成熟的外企应聘秘书或助理之类的职位， 不妨直言相问原来这个职位的人哪里去了？是离开还是转其他岗位了？

回答示范3： I’m most interested in the career structure of this position. Do most members of this department follow the career path of “auditor—team leader—manager?” Actually I’ve learnt some information about it from the career talk, but I wonder if there is anything else I can know about it?

点评3： 每个申请人都非常关心所申请职位的长远发展， 所以这是一个很保险的问题。这个回答值得称道的一点是他把自己已经了解到的职业发展道路顺便告诉了面试官， 体现出他自己并不是一个懵懵懂懂的家伙。
