职场英语：求职时英语须知

职场英语：求职时英语须知 　　在职场这个没有硝烟的战场上时，要注意英语时态以及其他要注意的事项。 　　当你走进雇主的办公室，先介绍自己，握手，微笑很重要。此后第一句话往往是打开局面的，通常人员会问： 　　How are you today? 　　Did you have any trouble finding us? 　　What do you think of the weather lately? 　　他们的语调可能会很友好，因为他们也希望你放松，尽量发挥你自己的水平。这时候你要有简单爽快而有礼貌的回应，如： 　　对方问：How are you today? 　　好的回答是：I'm fine thank you, and you? 或 I'm well thank you. 　　不好的回答是：So, so 或 OK 或Not so well 　　面试过程中最重要的部分是 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 述自己的学历，工作经验和资历。这些是和你应聘工作直接相关的。 　　学历方面：记住你的学历是在以前完成的，要用过去时态。例如： 　　I attended the University of Beijing from 1990 to 1993. 　　I graduated with a degree in civic engineering. 　　如果你现在还是学生，那么应用现在时态，例如： 　　I am currently studying at the University of York and will graduate with a degree in Economics in the coming spring. 　　I am studying English at the Seneca Community College. 　　记得要告诉雇主，你仍然在不断改善你的英语，比如你每周还上几小时的英语课。因为英文不是你的母语，他们对此可能会有顾虑。 　　工作经验和资历无疑是面试中最重要的部分。所以雇主很想知道个中的许多细节。雇主想知道你到底做过什么，做得好不好。因此你不要谦虚，把最好的成绩和方面表达出来。 　　当谈到你目前在做的工作时你可以用现在完成进行时，表示你不但一直在这样做，而且将来也会持续下去： 　　ABC Engineering Inc. have employed me for the last 3 years as a salesperson. I have been creating customer contacts for 6 months. 　　但谈到以前的工作时用过去时： 　　I was employed by Jackson's Ltd. from 1995 to 1997 as a office manager. 　　I worked as a production supervisor at the Heitz while I was living in New York. 　　当谈及以前的工作成绩和表现，尽量用一些主动的，积极的，令人印象深刻的动词，比用名词或者系动词词组效果好。比如：         与其说 My job is to assist the senior scientist with unit testing不如说I assisted the senior scientist with unit testing.         与其说I was responsible for the business needs analysis不如说I analyzed the business needs. 　　我们来谈谈面试中最常问的题目以及如何对答为妥。 　　问: Tell me about yourself. 　　答: I was born and raised in Dalian, China. I attended the University of Beijing and received my master's degree in Economics. I have worked for 5 years as a financial consultant in Beijing for various companies including Rossi Consultants, People's Insurance of China and Pepsi. I enjoy playing soccer in my free time and traveling. 　　答: I've just graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in Computers Science. During the summers, I worked as a systems administrator for a small company to help pay for my education. 　　评语: 这个问题的目的是想大概地了解你，所以无需讲太多细节的东西。你的回答通常会帮助面试官决定下个问题问什么。除了给对方一个整体的印象，最重要的是着重讲和工作有关的经验。工作经验是大多数面试中最重要的环节，比学历更重要。 　　问: What type of position are you looking for? 　　答: I'm interested in an entry level (beginning) position. 　　答: I'm looking for a position in which I can utilize my experience. 　　答: I would like any position for which I qualify. 　　评语:对于一个英语非母语的申请人，许多公司期望你能从低做起，慢慢弥补语言方面的不足。就算你以前很成功有多年经验，也应当有这个心理准备。 　　问: Are you interested in a full-time or part-time position? 　　答: I am more interested in a full-time position. However, I would also consider a part-time position. 　　评语: 尽量留最大的余地争取机会。因为只要工作拿到了，以后的事情就容易把握，主动性大多了。 　　问: Can you tell me about your responsibilities at your last job? 　　答: I advised customers on financial matters. After I consulted the customer, I completed a customer inquiry form and catalogued the information in our database. I then collaborated with colleagues to prepare the best possible package for the client. The clients were then presented with a summarized report on their financial activities that I formulated on a quarterly basis. 　　评语: 提到过往工作经验时，注意越详细越好。新移民最容易犯的错误之一是讲过去经历时太过笼统。雇主是想知道你到底做什么以及你做得怎么样，你讲得越详细，他们就越能知道你是否在行。你可以换着用一些不同的词汇来形容，而且尽量不要每句话都用“I”开头。记得用过去时态。 　　问: What is your greatest strength? 　　答: I work well under pressure. When there is a deadline (a time by which the work must be finished), I can focus on the task at hand (current project) and structure my work schedule well. I remember one week when I had to get 6 new customer reports out by Friday at 5. I finished all the reports ahead of time without having to work overtime. 　　答: I am an excellent communicator. People trust me and come to me for advice. One afternoon, my colleague was involved with a troublesome (difficult) customer who felt he was not being served well. I made the customer a cup of coffee and invited both my colleague and the client to my desk where we solved the problem together. 　　答: I am a trouble shooter. When there was a problem at my last job, the manager would always ask me to solve it. Last summer, the LAN server at work crashed. The manager was desperate and called me in (requested my help) to get the LAN back online. After taking a look at the daily backup, I detected the problem and the LAN was up and running (working) within the hour. 　　评语: 不用谦虚，充满自信地把自己最好的方面都抖出来。记得要给一些具体的例子，举例时变化用词。 　　问: What is your greatest weakness? 　　答: I am overzealous (work too hard) and become nervous when my co-workers are not pulling their weight (doing their job). However, I am aware of this problem, and before I say anything to anyone, I ask myself why the colleague is having difficulties. 　　答: I tend to spend too much time making sure the customer is satisified. However, I began setting time-limits for myself If I noticed this happening. 　　评语: 这其实是一个很巧妙的问题，你要讲得出一个其实是优点的缺点。比如工作太认真啦，对自己对人要求很高啦，工作很追求完美啦，等等。在讲到缺点后要记得说你一直在致力于改善。 　　问:Why do you want to work for us? 　　答: After following your firms progress for the last 3 years, I am convinced that Smith and Sons are becoming one of the market leaders and I would like to be part of the team. 　　答: I am impressed by the qualitiy of your products. I am sure that I would be a convincing salesman because I truly believe that the Atomizer is the best product on the market today. 　　评语: 对这个问题你要事前做研究，通过看公司网站，其他有关信息等。越了解公司，对你越有利。 　　问: When can you begin? 　　答: Immediately. 　　答: As soon as you would like me to begin. 　　评语: 充分表示你想要工作!
