老外英文面試一般會問哪些問題，如何應對？

12-23

這周有個英文面試，面試官是個美國人，不知道美國人英語面試和中國人有沒有什麼區別

其實，不管中文還是英文面試
最主要的就兩個問題：
1 為什麼你選我？
2 為什麼我選你？

轉換成英文就是
Why do you want to work here?
Why should we hire you?

--------來點乾貨--------
你所有可能被問到的問題以及最好的回答都在這，花點時間看看吧
Job Interview Questions and Best Answers

最後推薦兩個英文關於職場的網站

1 About Careers About.com的職業板塊
2 The Workplace Stack Exchange 關於職場的問題都可以來著看看

-----------------

如果是老外面試，他一般會直接進入主題，問你專業方面的問題，不會問一些無關痛癢的問題，因為他不是關心你的英語能力，而是你的專業技能，所以必須有所準備，靈活應對。
如果是第一輪中國HR英語面試，一般都會叫你做個英文自我介紹，也就是開場白，我這裡自己寫了段話，自認為還比較全面和簡潔，至少把樓上的KevinMeng的兩點概括進去了，那就是：
Why do you want to work here?
Why should we hire you?
開場白需要把精髓在第一時間呈現，把你需要傳達給面試官的信息在第一時間灌輸到他腦子裡，既要包含要點又要簡潔精鍊，不能拖沓冗長，讓面試官對你有進一步了解的興趣，但又不能讓他對你有不耐煩的情緒，平時可以自己總結段適合自己的開場白和一些常見問題的回答，經常背誦，爛熟於心，能再面試時做到隨機應變，對答自如。
在這裡把我的自我介紹貼出來，供各位大神指正。

OK, First of all. It』s my great honor to be
given this great opportunity to talk with you here. As you can see on the
resume, My English name is XXX, I majored in XXXXX in university. Ever since I graduated from university in XXXX, I
have worked for 3 companies, in my current company, I have been working as a technical engineer in engineering department since
XXXXX. Almost X years, in brief, My main work responsibility is to
provide technical support for the whole manufacturing process of our product. As
you can see the detailed information in the job description of my resume.

Then, a little bit about me personally, I think
I am a kind of perfectionist, I always focus on the details, and like to be
sure that everything is just right.

Besides, I am very positive, open minded,
hardworking, I am also a good team player and with high sense of responsibility
when it comes to my work.

Lastly, I 『d like to talk about the reasons why
I want to change my job, you know, after working in my current company for
nearly X years, I found myself
kind of bored with my job and the
environment, plus, there is not development space for my career, most
importantly, I have always been looking for a big international company where I
can communicate and progress with many talented people from all of the world. Just
a few days ago, I was recommended this position by the headhunter, I read the
JD carefully and searched some information regarding your company in the
internet, and I found that it is a great global company which has always been
committed to do sth…….. It is exactly what I am looking for. Moreover, I think maybe
I am a good fit for this position because of my qualification, my similar
experience and the skills developed in my current company. So maybe it is the right
time for me to move on to a new challenge. So I am here today. Thank
you.

許多問題都是圍繞以下方面：1) 你的性格，2) 你的成就，3) 你在努力提高的技能， 4) 過去的失敗和教訓以及 5) 批判性思維技巧，又叫做情景分析。雖然在網上可以找到許多模版問題但你最好不會試圖記住這些答案，因為這在面試官看來是很明顯的，而且會顯得你思維模式死板。最好是針對寬泛的類別進行準備，比如我在上面提到的那些。記住面試官可能要在好幾個小時裡面試許多候選人，所以他們會想要從各種各樣的問題中進行選擇，以使面試的過程有趣並且能夠真正考察一個人快速思考的能力和靈活性。


認真考慮請一位專業的、有經驗的並且以英文為母語的面試培訓官作為提高自己的投資。該服務通常是經濟上能夠負擔的，你們可以在幾個小時的時間裡共同努力減少面試時的緊張感、學習如何回答困難的問題以及如何闡述你的簡歷上任何與眾不同或者容易出問題的地方。如果你是要爭取長期職業生涯中的下一個關鍵工作機會的話，那麼投資這筆錢就是很明智的。
祝你將來面試好運！
Interview questions center around: 1) your character, 2) achievements, 3) skills you are working on improving, 4) past failures and lessons and 5) critical thinking skills also called scenario analysis.  There are many sample questions which can be found on the internet.  You do not want to try to memorize answers as that is apparent to an interviewer and suggests an inflexible mindset.  Better to be prepared to answer a broad range of categories such as the ones I mentioned above.  Remember interviewers many be meeting numerous candidates over hours and hours and so will want to choose from a diverse set of questions to keep the sessions interesting and really test individuals" capacities to think quickly and flexibly.
Seriously consider investing in yourself by hiring a professional experienced interview coach who is a native speaker.  The service is usually affordable and in a few hours you can work together to reduce nervousness, learn how to answer difficult questions and address any unusual or trouble spots on your resume.  It is a smart use of money if you are reaching for your next critical job opportunity in a long term career.
Best of luck with your future interviews!

電話面試，問到的有：
所讀學位，所讀專業，畢業時間，有無相關工作經驗，對vodafone的理解（vodafone的面試）。

以上內容相信跟大部分國內公司一樣，不同的是：

是否澳洲公民？
很多公司跟組織在僱傭的時候都會標出Australian citizen only或是 permanent resident only。我覺得應該是基於兩點考慮：

1. 簽證有效時間
顯然身為PR或是公民能在」外國「逗留無限長的時間；而作為臨時簽證的持有者，在簽證失效的時候就必須要遣返回國。雖說企業可以進行工作擔保讓你獲得更長的簽證時間，但作為普通的應聘者，企業也不願意用有限的擔保名額去擔保一位不知工作效率如何的應聘者吧。

2. 價值觀
這點應該很容易理解，澳洲企業僱傭澳洲人工作基本不會產生價值衝突，但是僱傭外國人的話或多或少會產生衝突。

獲得外國國籍並不是一朝一夕的事情，所以我可以認為老外面試跟國內沒有多大區別。
國內面試需要走後門一類的問題我沒有考慮。

當然了，用英文回答面試問題要看你自己的能力了。

進入外資（合資）企業除了能獲得正常的節假日休息和較好的薪資外，還是把英語從入門級別提升到中級水平的有效途徑。雖然說以工作需要作為英語學習的動力並不是最理想的。
很多外企校園招聘招對學校的要求（211，985院校）都比較苛刻，但多數公司社會招聘通常沒有院校條件要求，只有工作經驗的相關要求。

有工作經驗的求職者，一定要為面試做好充分的準備，尤其是那些之前沒有在外企工作過，英語水平一般的求職者，用英語面試是非常不容易的一件事，更要事先多做演練。

面試必須問且通常是第一個被問到的就是「Tell me about yourself(自我介紹)」對於這個問題一定要事先做好準備。

面試官手裡已經有你的簡歷，你沒有必要按照簡歷上一條一條的介紹，當然強調一下你最重要的資歷和成就是很有必要的。

當你展示你的背景時，不要under or over qualification，只展示僱主需要的。

不要分享你的個人愛好，生活故事，不要從你畢業開始講起，那樣真的很浪費時間。他們想知道的不是你的個人生活愛好。

時間不要太長，2-3分鐘左右就差不多了，面試官沒有那麼多的耐心聽你一個人講，他們需要把時間用在問她們想知道的問題上，以此來考察你是不是他們需要的人選。

想一想面試官們為什麼會問這個問題，他們也許想看看你認為自己最重要的資歷是什麼，但更多的是因為他們想看看你的Presentation 的能力，他們手裡有你的簡歷，你可能之前已經經過了HR的面試，為什麼還要你自我介紹？（Presentation 能力是很重要的，尤其是諮詢公司或者專業的服務公司等）

如果他們讓你展示其他你不熟悉的內容，無法考察你真正的Presentation能力，但是如果讓你談論你最熟悉的自己，他們就是給你一個機會去展示一下你的Presentation能力。

面試官已經知道的你的教育，工作背景，工作成就等，他們真正還感興趣的是：你可以流利的介紹自己嗎？有感染力嗎？你會很緊張嗎？你的英語水平如何？

看到了嗎，這是多麼難得的一個大好機會。想像一下，你要參加一個考試，並且你已經知道這是個必考題，你需要做什麼？你需要準備好如何進行一個清晰且能給人留下深刻印象的自我介紹。

你的自我介紹需要包含：
?你的工作經歷（主要是當前的工作），擔任什麼職務，主要工作職責。
?描述你在這個崗位的（可計量的）主要成就。最後可以有具體的數字，為公司節省了多少時間，多少錢，提升了多少效率，提高了多少利潤等等。
?你將來的職業規劃和為什麼你是這個崗位合適的人選。告訴僱主你知道自己的能力，同時你也知道雇真正需要是什麼的人選。
5
▼
如果你能列印出一些之前精心準備好的精緻的PPT，當面試官要你Tell me about yourself時，你就可以說 Can I instead just show you? I prepared a short presentation on this. 如果你能利用PPT材料做好自我介紹，一定會給他們留下非常深刻的印象，因為其他人都不會這樣做。

Hey guys! I"m a online English conversational teacher and I offer one on one interview preparation sessions including resume/CV editing services. I have also personally gone through many interviews myself in Canada and would like to share some of my tips here:

My number one advice is BE YOURSELF! I know it might sound like a cliche useless expression, but trust me, it"s more important than you think! I have been hired a number of times simply because the employer liked me, even when I didn"t meet a lot of the technical qualifications!
This was something I had to learn myself too, and through the years I came to realize 2 things

1) Anyone can google "how to ace an interview" and vomit the generic answers back up in their interview word for word. And employers KNOW when you give a generic answer.

2) Skills are trainable, attitude is not. Employers rather hire someone they like as a person and have great potentials than someone with all the technical skills but are a bore to talk to.

That is why, it"s so important to go into an interview not with a generic script memorized. Know yourself goes beyond "what"s your strength?" "what"s your weakness". When I train my clients for an interview coming up, I teach them how to turn "tell me about your favourite childhood memory" into an answer that screams "hire me! I"m the perfect candidate!" To be brief, the key is to understand that each job is unique, thus so should your answers.

是不是老外面試都重視個人經歷和主觀感受之類的？實習的時候，只要是老外的面試，都問了我：在過去讓你印象最深刻的一件事情是什麼？

Sample Statements

Sample 「Me in 30 Seconds」 statements for networking:

「My name is Randy Patterson, and I』m currently looking for a job in youth services. I have 10 years of experience working with youth agencies. I have a bachelor』s degree in outdoor education. I raise money, train leaders, and organize units. I have raised over $100,000 each of the last six years. I consider myself a good public speaker, and I have a good sense of humor. 「Who do you know who works with youth?」

「My name is Lucas Martin, and I enjoy meeting new people and finding ways to help them have an uplifting experience. I have had a variety of customer service opportunities, through which I was able to have fewer returned products and increased repeat customers, when compared with co-workers. I am dedicated, outgoing, and a team player. Who could I speak with in your customer service department about your organization』s customer service needs?」

Sample 「Me in 30 Seconds」 statement for an interview:

「People find me to be an upbeat, self-motivated team player with excellent communication skills. For the past several years I have worked in lead qualification, telemarketing, and customer service in the technology industry. My experience includes successfully calling people in director-level positions of technology departments and developing viable leads. I have a track record of maintaining a consistent call and activity volume and consistently achieving the top 10 percent in sales, and I can do the same thing for your company.」

「I am a dedicated person with a family of four. I enjoy reading, and the knowledge and perspective that my reading gives me has strengthened my teaching skills and presentation abilities. I have been successful at raising a family, and I attribute this success to my ability to plan, schedule, and handle many different tasks at once. This flexibility will help me in the classroom, where there are many different personalities and learning styles.」

分享一下我上周參加的模擬面試：
面試官是來自美利堅的大叔們，他們問的大同小異，首先你需要做一個自我介紹，每個面試官都想知道你的family。他們也都會問你喜歡一個人干還是團隊干，最後還有一點就是你能為他們公司帶來什麼。
大致就這樣。
