第三部分(11~14问)
韦鲁基
问:请把这份工作和你所追求的做一下比较。
答:我把求职范围缩小到金融业大中型的保险公司。这些公司所要求的必要技能都很相似,如良好的定量分析能力、快速决策能力和应付顾客需求的良好人际关系技巧等。
你在其他方面追求的普通一致性在这里也很重要。你的选择一定要反映你的职业抱负,你追求的工作中有哪些共同的技能是必备的?
Q:pare this job to others yourepursuing。
A:I've narrowed my job search to only those large securities firms within the finance industry。 The basic skills necessary with all of these firms are similar: strong quantitative and analytical abilities; the ability to make decisions quickly; and good interpersonal skills to react to a customer's needs。
问:在工作中你是否获得了你希望的进步?
答:我在一家大型的汽油公司做了6年,在价格分析、资金预算和财务计划等方面积累了丰富的经验。我相信现在我有能力承担信贷公司财务部门的全部信贷工作。
回顾以往工作中取得的积极的经验,但也要切合实际地承认自己的不足。对于这个问题,不要表现出悲观和不切实际的期望,诚恳在这里显得犹为重要。
Q:Have you progressed in your career as you expected?
A:My six years with a major gas pany have included solid experience in price analysis; capital budgets; and financial planning。 I now believe Im ready to take on departmental responsibility for the entire finance function within a finance pany。
问:5年内你希望得到合理的报酬是多少?
答:在这5年里,我希望作出的贡献能得到认可和合理的回报。我知道薪酬水平受到许多因素的影响,包括公司的效益和影响我们行业的整体商业周期变化等,但我希望每年都能承担更大的责任,并根据我的努力和贡献而得到合理的报酬。
再次调转这个问题,询问一下从事该职业有什么发展前景。然后,根据你的技能和表现,认真考虑你所擅长的领域。让面试官决定晋升的适当时机,别再作无意义的猜测,否则你会变得自负、不切实际,或者相反——太过矜持或者犹豫不决。
Q:What do you reasonably expect to earn within five years?
A:My expectation for the next five years is that my contributions will be recognized and appropriately rewarded。 I realize that salary levels are based on a number of factors; including the pany's profitability and the general business cycle that affects our industry; but I expect to take on greater responsibility each year and to be appropriately pensated for my efforts and contributions。
问:你曾经担任过与你的长远计划不一致的职务吗?
答:回想80年代末,华尔街正值兴旺,我听别人劝说进入了一家在亚洲市场从事商品贸易、且能提供优厚待遇的公司工作。尽管我在该工作中表现得很出色,但我很快就明白那份工作因不能实现我的抱负和缺乏挑战而令我不开心。所以,两年以后,我又回到企业界为一家金属工厂做主管。从此,我就进入了金融领域,而我的长远计划就是待在这个行业里,在金融策划和管理方面有所追求并承担更重大的职责。
在这里,面试官试图断定应聘者如何明智地挑选与他的兴趣和抱负相一致的职业。假如你曾偏离你的择业方向,那么很可能你要让招聘者信服你应聘本职位,是走上了正轨。
Q:Have you ever taken a position that didn't fit into your longterm plan?
A:Back in the late eighties; when Wall Street was booming; I was lured away with a highpaying offer in a firm that was trading modities on the Asian market。 Even though I had success in the job; I quickly realized that the work wasn't fulfilling or challenging enough to keep me happy。 So; after two years; I jumped back into the corporate world as a controller for one of the metal plants of my corporation。 I've since moved up in the finance area; and my longterm plans include staying in this industry and assuming greater responsibility in the area of financial planning and control。
第一部分(1~5问)
韦鲁基
问:除了工作之外,告诉我一项几年来你一直对其保持兴趣的活动。
答:自从我祖母死于癌症,我就一直参与癌症协会资金筹集的工作。在我内心深处,我希望研究工作有所突破,以便及时挽救我家其他人的生命。
在这里,面试官想在应聘者身上寻找出持之以恒的精神和对兴趣从一而终的经历。你的爱好是否只维持了短短一段时间,或者你的兴趣每年都不同?你的兴趣与你所申请的工作是否一致?它们是否在某方面对公司有利呢?
Q:Other than work; tell me about an activity you've remained interested in over several years。
A:Ive been involved in Cancer Society fundraising ever since my grandmother died from the disease。 In the back of my mind I guess Im hoping that the research can lead to findings in time to save the life of someone else in my family。
问:你在业余的时间里会做些什么?
答:我实在很喜欢外出——我经常去露营和远足,因此我对不同种类的布料有一定的认识,了解到不同的布料适合于不同的气候环境,这也是为什么我对你们纺织公司如此感兴趣的原因。
面试官希望你是个全能型人才,而不是只有某方面的能力,他也在寻找彼此共同的兴趣或者相一致的地方。你总是应该在某种程度上把你的回答和该工作的要求联系起来。
Q:What do you do in your spare time?
A:I really enjoy getting outside—I often go camping and hiking。 I've learned a lot about different fabrics that are good for various weather conditions。 That's why I'm so interested in your textile operations。
问:你的生活方式健康吗?
答:我每周两次挤出时间休息。下班回家后我就带着狗出去散步,那是使我最放松的事情之一,它还有助我想出工作中出现的难题的解决方法,尽管我不是有意识地去想着解决这些难题。
你有发泄情感、能从工作中获得休息,以便每天都能以新面貌出现且以最佳的状态去工作的方法吗?描述一些能让你放松的具体事情。从逻辑角度或思维过程看来,你的个人兴趣与职业兴趣相一致吗?
Q:Do you have a balanced lifestyle?
A:I make an effort to get out of the office at a reasonable hour twice a week。 I go home and walk my dog。 Thats one of the most relaxing things I do; but it often helps me think of solutions for problems at work; even though I'm not consciously trying to solve those problems。
问:什么业余活动能增进你的工作兴趣?
答:我一直都很喜欢打网球。在许多方面,这是一种讲究策略和速度的运动。当某种策略在第一局中不起作用的时候,你必须在第二局中改变它。你还必须保存体力准备进入第三局,而且要不断地观察和了解对手的反应。我是个坚毅的网球手——有时我力争拿高分——不过我会小心掌握时间。这也是我的工作方法。
面试官有兴趣知道,应聘者的个性是否在工作和业余活动中都反映出来。你对这个问题的回答会清楚地反映你的个性,也很可能反映你与该工作的相容性。
Q:What outside activities plement your workinterests?
A:Ive always enjoyed tennis。 In many ways it's a game of strategy and pacing。 When something isnt working in the first set; you have to change your strategy for the second set。 You also have to pace your energy in case you go to a third set; and constantly watch and read your opponent's reactions。 I'm a gutsy tennis player—I go for the big points sometimesbut I'm careful with timing。 Thats the way I am at work; too。
问:谈谈你在业余消遣时所获得的对你工作有帮助的构思。
答:我在墨西哥度假时曾见过一个女人使用一块自制的跷跷板,当她要把篮子里的衣服拿出来洗时,她就用这块跷跷板把篮子提起来。这使我想出一个制造新型支架的主意。上班后,我把支架设计出来了,现在我们的彻砖工人都配有一个及腰的旋转工作台来运送材料,这样就可以减轻背部疲劳。
面试官想知道你是否有综合处理信息和把你所见到的应用到工作上的能力。要表现出你对该工作有天生的兴趣,而非不得已而为之。你能否能突破陈规而得出新的办法呢?一定要举些具体的例子。
Q:Tell me about a time you were in a recreational setting and got an idea that helped in your work。
A:I was on vacation in Mexico and saw a woman with a homemade seesaw she was using to lift her laundry basket when she needed something out of it。 It gave me an idea for a new type of scaffolding; which I designed when I got back to work。 Now our brick masons have a rotating bench that keeps their materials at waist level; which reduces back fatigue。
第二部分(6~10问)
韦鲁基
问:在你所喜爱的活动中,你的个性是如何表现出来的?
答:我喜欢烹饪和招待客人,这是一个销售人员的素质在我身上的体现。我喜欢与他人分享经验,而且为人爽直。我尤其不喜欢独处,总觉得我该干点什么的。
描述一下从工作到休息,你天生的技能与自身的价值是怎样在你所做的各种事情中表现出来的。你认为怎样才算是舒适的工作方式?例如:周到精细的个性就不同于爱冒险、爱刺激的个性。
Q:How is your personality reflected in the kinds ofactivities you
