你为何要面试本公司也是应聘时一个常常会被问到的问题。这个时候,你之前对公司资料的采集就能派上用场了。你可以简单的说一下你对企业的知道,当然,适合的夸一下公司是有好处的,但不要太过火。大家来看看 Tom 和 Peter 是如何回答这个问题的吧!

Watson: What made you choose this company?

Tom: Your company has a very good reputation, not only because your products are of high quality, but also your due to your well-constructed management system. I want to contribute to such an outstanding company which cares not only about the customer' needs, but also about the welfare of employees.

Watson: What do you know about this company?

Tom: I know this is one of the biggest trading companies in the world. It was established in London in 1940, with a total of 40 million US dollars. It employs more than 17,000 staff throughout the world.

Watson: Why do you consider yourself qualified1 for the job?

Tom: I have the educational background and relevant experience required for the position. Besides, I am a very good team player and have the desire to succeed.

Watson: What interests you most about this job?

Tom: I like to work in a team and enjoy solving problems.


Notes:


1. What made you choose this company? 你为何会选择这家公司。make someone do something,让某人做某事。


2. 那 Tom 是如何回答的呢?他说,你们的公司在业内有非常不错的声誉,不只你们的商品水平非常不错,而且你们的管理也非常出色。Earn a good reputation,取得好名声。Tom在这里把这家公司夸了一通,这是非常必要的,由于无人会来面试自己不喜欢的公司。即便你对公司不是非常知道,也可以说一些套话。但假如你觉得这家公司存在不少问题,应聘的时候可不是提出来的好机会,你可以把它们留到上任将来再说。


3. 说完了公司,就应该说说我们的缘由了。这是一个向考官陈述你的职业目的的好机会。Tom说他想为既照顾客户的利益,又兼顾职员的福利的公司工作,其实这还是从另一个角度在夸奖这家公司。考官接着又问,What do you know about this company? 你对这家公司知道多少?这个时候你就能把自己在应聘之前采集收拾的信息告诉考官了。这里同样要挑最主要的说,可以在应聘之前打好草稿。


4. Why do you consider yourself qualified for the job? 你为何觉得自己合适这份工作?这个时候你就能把你一个人的能力和优点尽可能展示出来。这里 Tom 说的是the educational background and relevant experience,有关教育背景和工作经验,I am a very good team player and have the desire to succeed. 我有非常强的团队合作精神,并且向往成功。通常来讲这几个方面都是尤为重要的,你可以在自己参加应聘的时候用。


5. What interests you most about this job? 这份工作的什么方面叫你最有兴趣?其实,这还是在问你为何会选择这家公司,Tom回答说是由于喜欢团队合作一同解决问题。你可以参考我们的状况来拟定我们的答案。

Notes:


1.What's your career objective? 你的职业目的是什么?你的职业规划对企业的进步也非常重要,所以考官一般都会问这个问题。回答的时候要依据面试职位的需要和我们的实质状况来确定我们的职业目的,不要好高骛远,也不要妄自菲薄。


2. What do you consider important when looking for a job? 你觉得找工作什么是非常重要的?这就是在问你对工作的需要了,包含工作环境,同事关系等等。这时也应该注意不要挑三拣四,问题多多,以至于给人不好相处的坏印象。
