有些公司尤其是外企的面试会要求英文面试，那么到底该如何用英文来求职呢？为了帮助自己学习英文面试以及口语表达，店主看了瑞秋的几个职场面试视频，把其中的key points整理出来造福大家～
和中文面试一样，英文面试中，interviewers问的那些问题其实也是大同小异的。简单来说，无非就是从以下几个方面来提问：
1. 个人层面
1）自我介绍
要求有条理、逻辑、与岗位相匹配、突出相关经历经验、控制时间（分别准备一个1min和3mins版本的自我介绍）
2）优缺点
优点联系岗位特点；缺点强调自己为改正自己这个缺点付出了哪些努力，取得了何种成效。
3）压力
过往经历中你担任了何种角色推动问题的解决。
...
2. 公司层面
为什么选择这个公司/岗位？
提前做功课了解面试的公司和岗位相关情况。
3. 你对hr的提问
以下是几个常见的英文面试问题，中文面试可以用相同的思维模式来回答。
Small Talk
在面试前可能会有个small talk，一般是寒暄几句，谈论交通，天气，是否需要水或咖啡等。寒暄完毕后才正式开始面试。
Q1: Tell me a little about yourself.
A1：(自我介绍这部分通常是第一个问题）
I studied at (your university) and graduated in (2019) with a bachelor’s degree in (literature/business/art...)
I’ve been working at (your former company) for (some years) as a (position). I have some years of experience in (sales/design/education...)
college degree 大专
bachelor’s degree 本科
master’s degree 硕士
doctoral degree/doctorate/phd 博士
练习方法：
a）围绕个人学习和工作经历回答，侧重与应聘岗位相符合的经历。
b）practice free-talking with some key phrases and record, 不要写下来再记忆背诵
c）回看录像或回听录音时，找出那些停顿和遗漏的地方，选择合适的词汇来修正并重新录下来。
Q2: How you heard about this position?
A2: (一般是通过内推、官网、招聘软件、招聘会这些渠道，可以在回答里告诉面试官自己对面试公司和岗位所做的一点功课research）
I heard about the position from one of your current employees. He saw this position on LinkedIn and forwarded it to me, so I spend some time on your website learning about the position and the company. I also（do sth.) about the work that really got me interested.
Q3：What attracted you to our company?
A3: (这个问题是Q2的延伸，需要你用到之前所做功课的信息。一般从公司文化等层面入手。）
To be honest, what really caught my eye was your focus on growth. I was really impressed with your ambitious goals and the clear plan you have for achieving those goals. I also like the support you provide for your employees. I love your continuing education initiatives, where you pay for employees to educate themselves in new techniques and skill sets. I think that really helps to build employee satisfaction and loyalty.
Some possible answers:
I was really impressed with your commitment to renewable energy.
I was very excited to learn that you support your research department so strongly.
I read that you encourage employees to spend time with each other outside the workplace, and that is something I really appreciate.
Q4：What would you say is your greatest strength?
A4: (回答对面试岗位有帮助的优点）
I would say, my greatest strength is a combination of enthusiasm and persistence. My work ethic won’t let me settle for less than my best. I’m able to persevere through challenges and setbacks without falling into frustration or anger. I’ve noticed that this tends to keep those around me in good spirits as well, which is a plus.
用以下句型来practice：
My greatest strength is ______. I find that this is very important/helpful when I ______.
罗列出你所有的优点，并用具体事例阐述在实际工作中这些优点是如何发挥的。
Q5：Can you tell me about a time where you suffered a setback and had to maintain your enthusiasm?
(面试官想要考察你在压力和困难下是如何应对的）
A5: Sure. One definitely comes to mind. Last year a project for a new toy was in its final stages after two years of work. As we were looking at the branding and working up a final marketing plan, a competitor launched a version of the exact same toy that were launching. As the leader of the project, I knew that my reaction would set the tone for the group. I acknowledged that it was a setback, but challenged the group to think of this as a blessing in disguise. I asked them to go out and buy the competitor’s product and make a list of anything they wished the toy could do that it didn’t. It turned out that the list was pretty long. We added these items to our toy, and launched a far superior product 6 months later. So, in many ways, the competitor’s product became the key to our success.
Q6: What do you consider to be your greatest weakness?
A6: (分享一个不算致命的缺点，然后描述你是如何改正这个缺点的）
My biggest weakness is public speaking. It’s something that I’ve spent a lot of time working on and in which I’ve improved a great deal. I’m very comfortable in smaller meetings with my teams. But when I present an idea or concept to a larger audience, I still experience some stage fright. At this point, I can handle these situations professionally. But I would like to be more comfort in these moments so I can really enjoy the experience of presenting, rather than just survive it.
用以下句型来practice：
My greatest weakness is______. It shows up in my work when______. The ways I’ve worked to improve in this area are ______.
Q7: Where do you see yourself in five years?
A7: (结合面试岗位的晋升路径回答）
As I mentioned before, I’m interested in growth. In five years I would like to be a part of a company growing its business on a regular and consistent basis. I’d like to be in a Vice President position with a focus on development. And while I know that would require much more public speaking, in five years I plan on being ready for it.
Q8：Do you have any questions for me?
some possible questions:
Yes. Imagine you’re looking back on this hiring decision in a year. The person you hired has exceeded your expectations. What did he or she do that impressed you most?
Can you tell me about the team that I would be working with?
结束语：
I really appreciate that you’re considering me for the position. I’d love to be a part of the company achieving its goals.
I look forward to it. Thanks again.
简单总结一下，英文面试其实和国内普通的中文面试大同小异，思路一致。除了以上几个常见面试问题之外，大家可以在网络上找到其他的中文面试题目来practice英文版。
练习方法：
Step1: practice free-talking with some key phrases and record it不要写下来再记忆背诵！
Step2: 回看录像或回听录音时，找出那些停顿和遗漏的地方，选择合适的词汇来修正并重新录下来。如此反复。
