外企面试技巧

1. So, tell me a little about yourself. Tell me about yourself/ How would

you describe yourself?

I’m going to graduate as a PHD of mechanical engineering and automation. I’m skilled at machining and machine design and some related softwares, I have worked on two important projects as a key participant; one is “research on the 7-axis electrochemical machine and experiments of blisk in electrochemical machining”,

It is supported by the 863 national key project; the other is “research on the precision electrochemical micro-machining”. I learned a lot from this experience and appreciate it very much. I’m a good problem-solver, I’m willing to learn and cooperate with others anytime. Thank you.

2. Tell me what you know about this company.

GE is the world’s largest cross-industry enterprise of technology, manufacturing and service. She engaged in solving the most difficult problems in the world. As early as 1906, GE began to develop trade with China and was one of the most active and influential foreign companies at that time. GE has a wide range of products and service. Plane engine is one of them, Nearly 1,200 GE aircraft engines are used in China's 550 planes. More than 300 steam, gas turbine, wind and hydropower turbines are working in China. GE has customers in more than 100 countries. GE is very famous and successful; it’s one of the world’s top 500. Jeff Immelt杰夫·伊梅尔特is the successor of GE at present. There is a saying in GE, that is, “Let the right person do the right work is more important than developing a new strategy”. I believe I’m the right person; I hope I will have the chance to contribute for GE. Thank you. http://www.77cn.com.cn/view/1209077.htm 关于GE的百度全科。

3. Why do you want to work at X Company?

To contribute for a company like GE is always my dream. And my major is closely related with plane engines and some other machining products in GE. I want to grow with GE and contribute for her with my skills, experience and my major advantage. I like GE’s sayings and the company culture; I believe my dream of being a successful technology researcher can be realized here. Just like GE, doing the work best is always my pursuit. GE is suitable to me, and I’m also the right person for her. Therefore, I choose her.

4. Have you done anything to further your experience?

Yes. I often play basketball and Ping-Pong in my spare time to relax myself and build up a healthier body. Because people can do their work better if they are strong and energetic enough. I also read some books and learn some softwares that are helpful to my current work in my spare time in order that my work can be improved constantly.

5. Where else have you applied?

外企面试技巧

A research institution and a university want me to work for them. (不要具体说明). But I haven’t accepted yet because GE is more suitable for me, I want to work here.

6. How are you when you’re working under pressure?

I’m diligent and optimistic, always positive towards pressure. My strategy to deal with the pressure is to work harder. Sometimes pressure is necessary because it can make people work better.

7. What motivates you to do a good job?

I want recognition for a job well done and want to become better and better at my job so that I can be a leader in my field in the future, which can give me a sense of achievement. I like that feeling.

8. What’s your greatest strength?

I’m a person who thrives under pressure, a great motivator. I’m also a good problem-solver. The world’s best problem-solving company like GE needs good problem-solvers.

9. What’s your biggest weakness?

If you’re completely honest, you may be kicking yourself in the butt. If you say you don’t have one, you’re obviously lying. This is a horrible question and one that politicians have become masters at answering. They say things like “I’m perhaps too committed to my work and don’t spend enough time with my family.” Oh, there’s a fireable offense. I’ve even heard “I think I’m too good at my job, it can often make people jealous.” Please, let’s keep our feet on the ground. If you’re asked this question, give a small, work-related flaw that you’re working hard to improve. Example: “I’ve been told I occasionally focus on details and miss the bigger picture, so I’ve been spending time laying out the complete project every day to see my overall progress.”

13. Let’s talk about salary. What are you looking for?

Run for cover! This is one tricky game to play in an interview. Even if you know the salary range for the job, if you answer first you’re already showing all your cards. You want as much as pos***le, the employer wants you for as little as you’re willing to take. Before you apply, take a look at http://www.77cn.com.cn for a good idea of what someone with your specific experience should be paid. You may want to say, “well, that’s something I’ve thought long and hard about and I think someone with my experience should get between X & Y.” Or, you could be sly and say, “right now, I’m more interested in talking more about what the position can offer my career.” That could at least buy you a little time to scope out the situation. But if you do have a specific figure in mind and you are confident that you can get it, I’d say go for

外企面试技巧

it. I have on many occasions, and every time I got very close to that figure (both below and sometimes above).

14. Are you good at working in a team?

Unless you have the I.Q. of a houseplant, you’ll always answer YES to this one. It’s the only answer. How can anyone function inside an organization if they are a loner? You may want to mention what part you like to play in a team though; it’s a great chance to explain that you’re a natural leader.

15. Tell me a suggestion you have made that was implemented.

It’s important here to focus on the word “implemented.” There’s nothing wrong with having a thousand great ideas, but if the only place they live is on your notepad what’s the point? Better still, you need a good ending. If your previous company took your advice and ended up going bankrupt, that’s not such a great example either. Be prepared with a story about an idea of yours that was taken from idea to implementation, and considered successful.

16. Has anything ever irritated you about people you’ve worked with? Of course, you have a list as long as your arm. But you can’t say that, it shows you a***eing negative and difficult to work with. The best way to answer this one is to think for a while and then say something like “I’ve always got on just fine with my co-workers actually.”

Use this question as a chance to show that you are a team player: “The only people I have trouble with are those who aren’t team players, who just don’t perform, who complain constantly, and who fail to respond to any efforts to motivate them.” The interviewer is expecting a response focused on personality and personal dislikes. Surprise her by delivering an answer that reflects company values

19. Would you rather work for money or job satisfaction?

It’s not a very fair question is it? We’d all love to get paid a Trump-like salary doing a job we love but that’s rare indeed. It’s fine to say money is important, but remember that NOTHING is more important to you than the job. Otherwise, you’re just someone looking for a bigger paycheck.

20. Would you rather be liked or feared?

I have been asked this a lot, in various incarnations. The first time I just drew a blank and said, “I don’t know.” That went over badly, but it was right at the start of my career when I had little to no experience. Since then I’ve realized that my genuine answer is “Neither, I’d rather be respected.” You don’t want to be feared because fear is no way to motivate a team. You may got the job done but at what cost? Similarly, if you’re everyone’***est friend you’ll find it difficult to make tough decisions or hit deadlines. But when you’re respected, you don’t have to be a complete bastard or a lame duck to get the job done.

21. Are you willing to put the interests of X Company ahead of your own? Again, another nasty question. If you say yes, you’re a corporate whore who doesn’t care about family. If you say no, you’re disloyal to the company. I’m afraid that y

外企面试技巧

ou’ll probably have to say yes to this one though, because you’re trying to be the perfect employee at this point, and perfect employees don’t cut out early for Jimmy’***a***all game.

it is situational. if you… ; if you …. Ethics and professionalism

22. So, explain why I should hire you.

As I’m sure you know, “because I’m great” or “I really need a job” are not good answers here. This is a time to give the employer a laundry list of your greatest talents that just so happen to match the job description. It’s also good to avoid taking potshots at other potential candidates here. Focus on yourself and your talents, not other people’s flaws.

1.我熟悉这个行业我熟悉这个领域；

2.我知道信息产品是为那些人服务，给他们带来的利益是什么

3.我有很好的开拓客户的模式、策略和方法；

23. Finally, do you have any questions to ask me?

I’ll finish the way I started, with one of the most common questions asked in interviews. This directly relates to the research you’ve done on the company and also gives you a chance to show how eager and prepared you are. You’ll probably want to ask about benefits if they haven’t been covered already. A good generic one is “how soon could I start, if I were offered the job of course.” You may also ask what you’d be working on. Specifically, in the role you’re applying for and how that affects the rest of the company. Always have questions ready, greeting this one with a blank stare is a rotten way to finish your interview. Good luck and happy job hunting.

ponder for a moment, and then ask your interviewer “what aspect of your job do you find most challenging”.

I would ask the interviewer, “Why do you like to work here?”

24. Where do you want to be in 5 to years?

They dont want to hear in the same job you are interviewing for. Ultimately, the HR people are searching for someone who can handle the job now, and has the potential to grow into a high level management job in the future. Do you have those goals too?

25. Would you rather work for a big company or a small one?

Favorite answer: I’d treat any company like it was my own regardless. Total ownership of the situation can get you a long way.

外企面试技巧

General , the worst answer was “I don’t know.” I’ve since learned that “it depends,” with a couple of examples, is perfectly appropriate

附带答案版本：

Don't discuss your goals for returning to school or having a family, they are not relevant and could Rather, you want to connect your answer to the job you are applying for.

最佳答案

* My long-term goals growing with a company where I can continue to learn, additional responsibilities, much of value as I can. * I see myself in a like this one. I plan on and continuing my involvement in (related) professional associations.

* Once I gain additional experience, I would like to move on from a to management.

* In the XYZ Corporation, what is someone with my skills and experiences?

第一个问题一般都是这个 Tell me about yourself/ How would you describe yourself?

外企面试技巧

You walk into the interview room, shake hands with your interviewer and sit down with your best interviewing smile on. Guess what their first question is? "Tell me about yourself." Your interviewer is not looking for a 10-minute dissertation here. Instead, offer a razor sharp sentence or two that sets the stage for further discussion and sets you apart from your competitors.

Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)说出你的卖点

Give them "your synopsis about you" answer, specifically your Unique Selling Proposition. Known as a personal branding or a value-added statement, the USP is a succinct, one-sentence description of who you are, your biggest strength and the major benefit that a company will derive from this strength. Here is an example of a Unique Selling Proposition: "I'm a seasoned Retail Manager strong in developing training programs and loss prevention techniques that have resulted in revenue savings of over $2.3Million for (employer's name) during the past 11 years."

我是一个具有良好的客户开发和维护能力的销售人员，在过去的三年里，我为iGroup新增了约95万美金的销售额。

What a difference you've made with this statement. Your interviewer is now sitting forward in her chair giving you her full attention. At this point, you might add the following sentence: "I'd like to discuss how I might be able to do something like that for you." The ball is now back in her court and you have the beginnings of a real discussion and not an interrogation process.

“My background to date has been centered around preparing myself to become the very best financial consultant I can become. Let me tell you specifically how I've prepared myself. I am an undergraduate student in finance and accounting at _________ University. My past experiences has been in retail and higher education. Both aspects have prepared me well for this career.”

首先要明确他们想了解的是哪方面的内容Do they want to know about your career so far, about your hobbies or family life? If in doubt, ASK them to clarify what they wish you to talk about. Then give a short factual answer, ending with

* How would you describe yourself?

外企面试技巧

这个问题的答案应该是和他们的招聘广告上对于雇员的要求的基本一致，所以，看看你有哪些特质满足了他们的要求吧

Try to think about what the interviewers are looking for and keep this in mind as you answer interview questions. Remember the job advert? Were they looking for initiative, a good communicator, someone with good attention to detail? Describe yourself in these terms. Start with "I am.." and not with "I think..." or "I believe.." so that you sound self aware and confident.

工作上：我是一个非常主动自发的销售人员，具有良好的与各个层次人员沟通交流的能力，我信奉细节决定成败，我善于在执行之前制定非常详细的销售策略、计划和阶段性目标，并顺利完成每一个阶段的目标。 -----------------------------------------------------------

生活中：我喜欢阳光、各种鲜艳的花、可爱的小动物、以及一切能给人朝气和生机的事物； 工作之余，我回去打篮球和其他锻炼，如单杠双杠，有时候我也喜欢一个人漫步思考。

When you're interviewing for within your company, you may be asked what you will do if you don't get the job. The interviewer wants to know whether you are concerned about just the advancement opportunity or the company. 内部职位竞聘常会被问到如果你没有得到这份工作的话你将会怎么办的问题。

最佳答案

I am committed to this company and its advancement so, should I not be selected, I will work with and support whoever might get selected. However, I do feel that my experience in the department and with the team would make me the best candidate

How would your boss describe you?

If you get the job, your interviewer may be your future boss so you need to answer this question carefully. Describe yourself as any boss would want to see you. You might say:

"My boss hard working, loyal, friendly and committed. He would say that I work well on my own initiative and deliver what he wants on time and to a high standard".

外企面试技巧

Again, don’t use the term “I think my boss would say..” as it gives an element of doubt. Be positive and certain with the interview answer you give.

* What motivates you?

I am motivated by being around other positive people, we might question if working alone would suit them.

I am motivated by targets.

* What do you look for in a job?

This is really a question about suitability, though we've included it here.

Remember the advert? Focus on the advert criteria and you won't go far wrong. For example, if the advert called for someone to lead others, you might say:

"I like a job where I can lead and motivate others and enjoy seeing improvements in team performance".

If the advert called for a target-focused individual, you might say:

"I like having targets. They encourage me myself and them!"

* What is your or

Not everyone has one, but because you might be asked, think what yours would be.

"Just do it!"

"Right first time, every time".

"Less talk, more action".

"Treat others as you'd wish to be treated".

外企面试技巧

"Fortune favours the brave".

"Quality, quality, quality...".

Our advice: This is one of those times when we ask candidates to explain their answers to our interview questions. So, whatever you say, it's likely you'll be asked to give a reason or example so have one in mind. For most jobs, you want to sound positive and motivated, but possibly not ruthless or inconsiderate.

* What do you enjoy most about what you do now?

"I really enjoy the technical nature of the job and the speed at which I'm able to fix faults. I get a lot of satisfaction from getting people back to work as soon as possible".

If working as part of a team is mentioned as a requirement of the job, you might answer:

"I really enjoy being part of a team. I like it when the team pulls together to achieve something and everyone can take some credit".

* What do you enjoy least about your current role?

A good interview answer might go something like this:

"Actually, I enjoy everything about what I do. I suppose if I had to give something up, it would be..."

The 'something' depends on you, but it's best to mention something incidental to your job, like admin or paperwork. So you might say:

外企面试技巧

"I'm not sure (pause). I suppose if I had to pick something to give up it would be paperwork. I know it's important, and I do it well, but if someone else did if for me, that would be great!"

* Why do you want to leave your current job/company?

If you're applying for a more senior job, you might answer:

"I really enjoy what I do, which your job offers. Unfortunately, my current job/employer can't give me this."

If this isn't the reason, use yours instead, but always be positive in your answers to tough interview question

* What do you think of your current boss?

"My current boss is great. He sets the team challenging but realistic targets and motivates us to achieve them..."

"My current boss is very good. She deals with her team firmly but fairly and enjoys our respect because of this..."

If your current boss is not great, and you are prepared to answer more interview questions about this, say so, but do balance each criticism with a positive point. Remember the need to appear positive in your answers to interview questions. You might say:

"My current boss has strengths and weaknesses. He is very good at listening to people but sometimes, in my view, doesn't deal with underperformers firmly enough. This affects team morale sometimes..."

* What will you miss about your present job?

外企面试技巧

People is the best interview answer here. Say anything else and you're suggesting the job you're applying for won't give you everything you had and more, and might even leave you wanting!

As you think about answers to interview questions, always have in mind the need to create a positive impression.

"Well I'm confident that the job you're offering will give me everything I have now and more so I don't think I'll miss anything about the job itself. But I'll miss some of the people of course..."

* What can you tell me about XYZ Company?

If you need to, start by saying "Is it ok if I refer to my notes?". When you get the nod, off you go.

A good interview answer should include short factual statements covering such things as the Company's history, its products, staff numbers, turnover and future business objectives. Something like this is fine:

"I believe the Company began in 1967, with just one outlet, but now has 25. From what I've read, you sell A, B and C products across Europe and the States and have a turnover in excess of $5 million. You employ 125 staff. I beleive you hope to enter the Asian market by 2010". "I've done some research and can tell you more if you like".

You will likely hear "No, that's fine. Thank you."

Your interviewers will be impressed that you prepared and made notes and you're off to a good start.

* What do you think XYZ Company can offer you?

外企面试技巧

There are two bits to this interview question, the role and the Company. Mention both. You might say:

"I'm told the Company has a firm commitment to individual training and development. This is great news for me because I'm keen to learn and advance in the Company. The role itself appears challenging and rewarding which I'll find very motivating".

* If you're successful, what do you think you'll be doing day-to-day?

You might start by saying "I understand that I'll be...". Then you could talk about the main role, any other activities and any targets you expect to be given.

What are your strengths/weaknesses?

IMPORTANT -- this common job interview question can be asked in many different ways, such as "What qualities do you admire in others that you would like to develop in yourself?"

Strengths should be easy enough to think about (keep the position in mind).

Talking about weaknesses can be harder but good interview answers are still possible. Many people choose to mention something which they've recognized as being a weakness but have overcome.

"I'd like to be more organized, like one of my colleagues. She doesn't have to try. But because I don't find it as easy as her, I use to-do lists and a diary to help me successfully manage my work".

On a final note, it's much safer to highlight your lack of experience or knowledge as a weakness than a fault in your personality. Employers can always give you experience but few want to help you overcome shortcomings in your personality! So avoid telling interviewers that you "get bored" or "too involved" or "frustrated"!

外企面试技巧

Why did you think you are suited to this job?

What they are really asking is "You know what we are looking for so can you tell us what you have done or what you have, that is relevant."

Why should we give the job to you above other applicants?

This is often our closing question. We want to know, in a nutshell, why you are the best candidate for the job. This is a chance to list your best attributes as they relate to the vacancy. Don't but don't be shy.\

* How well do you work under pressure?

“I know that all jobs involve some sort of pressure at some time. I can work as well under pressure as I do at any other time but when I am busy, I activities so that is manageable.”

If the interviewers focus on other pressure, such as pressure to meet targets, dealing with difficult customers etc, give an appropriate reply, mentioning past situations where you have coped under such pressure.

* What sort of people do you find it difficult to work with?

“I am an easy going person who seems to get on with everyone. If I have to pick a type of person that bothers me, it's the one who doesn't pull their weight or isn't worried about the standard of their work because it reflects badly on the rest of the team.”

* Sell me this pen!

外企面试技巧

In interviews for sales job, you may hear this, believe us! In fact, one of us had a non-sales interview and was asked this, unexpectedly. The object you are asked to sell could in fact be anything. Some interviewers like to see whether you focus on the benefits of the object or its features. The features of the pen might be that it's blue, with and The benefits might be that

* What key skills do you think you need to be successful in this role?

You got this far because your job application form or resume or CV matched the interviewers' criteria as specified in the job advert. Just expand on this in your job interview answers. List the skills you think are required, giving a little explanation as to why each is needed.

You might then be asked to give examples where you've used one or more of these skills. These are behavioural interview questions.

* Where do you see yourself in five years time?

This can be a difficult job interview question to answer, especially if you've not thought beyond getting this job! When you answer, you want to sound ambitious enough to be motivated to do a good job, but not too ambitious in case your interviewers think you're only using this job as a stepping stone to something better.

I can be successful in this job and taken on additional responsibilities and be considered suitable for promotion.

* How does this job fit into your career plans?

外企面试技巧

This is a similar job interview question to the one above really, except that it looks beyond five years. Be realistic. You might say something like this if you're going for a middle-management position:

"My ambition is to lead a department and be involved in strategic decision-making at a senior level. I expect the role I'm applying for to give me more experience of leading and some introduction to strategy so that I'm ready for a senior role in a few years time".

* Where did you think you'd be at this stage in your life?

Avoid saying further than you are now! It's better to show you've met or exceeded your ambitions than fallen short of them. Tell the interviewers that you are happy with your life and career, but are looking for more challenge as you like to stretch yourself to achieve more.

* If you could start again, what career decisions would you make differently?

You're on sticky ground if you start trying to think of hypothetical career changes that might have served you better in the past. Your answers to interview questions will suggest you're not happy with the way things are and no-one wants to hire an unhappy person.

“I wouldn't change anything. I am happy with my career as it is now but want fresh challenges.”

"I'm not the kind of person who looks back with regrets. I prefer to invest my energy looking forward".

* How would you approach a typical project?

If you're applying for a project based job, such as a project manager, you will be asked this job interview question. Don't give a long winded answer, but try to demonstrate that you would take into account the main components of effective project planning such as:

外企面试技巧

- Planning the schedule backwards from completion

- Working out what you need to get the job done effectively and on time - Budgeting -- costs, time and resources

- Allowing a contingency

* How would you get the best from people?

If you are applying for any management role, it is highly likely you'll be asked this job interview question. The kind of skills that we'd be looking for in a good applicant are:

- Good communication

- Teamwork skills

- Recognizing what each person can bring

- Setting a good example

- Praising good performances

* Give us an example of how you have resolved conflict.

As this is a behavioural interview question, you need to find an example of conflict that you have resolved. The sort of skills you need to demonstrate in your interview answer are:

- Fairness

- Discussing problems with individuals in private

- Making sure you get to the root of the problem

- Finding a solution that everyone will accept
