面试英语口语第1期:开场白

开场白（prolusion）有可能决定整个面试的基调。所谓“前三分钟定终身”，即你给面试考官的第一印象，从言谈举止到着装打扮，都会影响到你被录取的机会。要彬彬有礼，但不要显得过分殷勤；要大方得体，但不要过分拘谨或谦让。还有，应试者需要注意的是，虽然对方为了缓和紧张气氛会问几个轻松的问题，但回答时一定要有礼貌，答案要抓住重点，尽量考虑对方最想知道什么。 BASIC EXPRESSIONS 基本句型表达

Excuse me. May I see Mrs. Smith?

对不起，我可以见史密斯女士吗？

NOTES 注释

面试可能是一对一进行，也可能是集体面试，一般之前都有预约。如果是集体面试，主考官会轮流叫人，进入房间后只要自己介绍就可以了。如果是一对一的情况，则可以说明一下自己是提前预约过：

"I come here for an interview by appointment."或者"I am coming to your company for an interview as requested."

如果是第一次登门拜访，则需要说明你的来意和一些相关情况，比如你是从广告上看到的招聘启事或者是经人推荐的，一定要说清楚：

"Excuse me, please. I wish to apply for the vacancy advertised in the morning newspaper yesterday. Has the vacancy been filled?"或者"I was referred to your company by Mr. White, your manager."

第二篇：常用面试英语口语

每年的12月到次年2月都是职场人士跳槽的“多发期”，而大多数白领的新的工作意向是薪水高、福利好的外资企业。很多人从接到面试通知的电话起，心里就开始紧张，不用说想到要用英语面试、老外老板亲切却又让人紧张微笑、看似简单而又机关重重的问题……其实，只要提前准备一下，就可以避免因胡言乱语而失去你梦想工作的可能。

如何把握住问题的要点，猜透老外老板的问题，给出漂亮的回答，是面试的重要环节。来自EF英孚教育Career Service部总监及资深职业规划顾问铁芸女士,一直致力于帮助学员规划职业生涯，成功找到自己理想中的工作。以下就是她对于面试中英文问题的回答方面的一些建议，希望能够给您一些启示，助您顺利拿到聘书。

面试中最常见的问题：

1.Tell me about yourself.

这是一个面试问题中的经典头道开胃菜。铁芸说这个问题主要考察求职者的个性是否符合公司的企业文化，所以回答的时候要尽量贴近这个公司的情况来推销自己的特点。比如这个公司是属于汽车行业，那么你就该回答: “Driving is my hobby. I really love the feeling of running on the road and I take cars as my best friends.” 总之是要找到自己跟这个公司的一个切合点，让面试官了解你充分适合这个环境。

2.What are your three greatest strengths?

铁芸说回答这个问题的时候不可以含混不清，不可以只是简单回答 “I’m really organized, punctual and get along well with others.” 简洁、精炼，找到这个公司所看重的特长，是回答这个问题的关键。比如要应聘金融行业，可是说 “I think my three strongest strengths are details-oriental, patient and cautious.” 但是如果应聘者是一个销售精英，可以说:“I think my strongest strengths are aggressive, hard working and communicative.”总之，需要考虑到应聘公司及职务的需要来选择表现自己的优势。

3.What are your three greatest weaknesses?

铁芸强调，能够为公司增值永远是老板的最爱，老板都愿意找到一个了解、热爱工作，并能够为公司创造价值的员工。所以不要很诚实的把自己的毛病暴露出来，而是要策略的选择一些能够为自己加分的缺点。比如:“I am a perfectionist and I pay very much attention to details. Sometimes I am quite captious.”

4.Why are you interested in working for our company?

这个问题主要考察应聘者是否对这个工作进行了了解，或者是否真正有兴趣，所以需要围绕整个公司的具体情况，让面试官知道你很清楚这个公司的运营模式，以及对这项工作非常积极。因此不要以“It seemed like a good career move, ”或是 "I haven't been able to find anything else interesting.”为开始。如果能有一些实际问题回答的话，就会更大的加分，铁芸建议应聘者可以这样: “I read an article in the newspaper and was very impressed by …”但是前提是你必须真的对这家公司作了研究，同时也要注意，不要让面试官觉得你是为了讨好面试官而言过其实，这样只会适得其反。

5.Why did you leave your last job?

跳槽的原因可能是上一份工作非常糟糕，但是面试并不是适合抱怨的场合。而且千万不要对现有或是过去的雇主或同事进行这样的评论：“I didn't agree with the company's direction.”“I got no recognition for my work.”“My boss was totally unreasonable. ”铁芸建议要从自身发展的角度出发来回答:“I love my last job and really learned a lot from it, but I need a new platform and bigger space to make my career successful.”总之，要让面试官知道，以前的公司在你的眼中并非一钱不值，你是怀着感激来评价他们的。

6.If we hire you, how long will you stay with us?

这个问题是要老板想知道你会不会像离开上一份工作那样很快的也离开这里，铁芸建议你可以这样回答:“As long as my position here allows me to learn and to advance at a pace with my abilities. ”这样就告诉老板，你是希望同公司一起成长，不会轻易的离开。

7.Tell me about a time when you felt very hard at your previous job.

听到这个问题，应聘者可能会有些摸不透面试官到底想知道什么，而不知道怎么回答。其实这个时候他是想知道你过去的工作中有过什么特别的例子，来展示你有解决各项复杂问题的能力。这时，最好能提前准备一张优秀的“成绩单”, 上面清楚的表明你处理过的问题的列表，告诉他你有能力解决任何困难，这一点至关重要。

8.Do you have any questions for me?

这也是一个面试中经典的结束问题，测试应聘者是否真正对这份工作真正有兴趣与热爱，此时应该询问具体的问题以显示应聘者非常了解该公司，对未来的工作有很多的期待和好主意，充分表示热情。铁芸说，应聘者一定要提前准备很多有关这个公司具体情况的问题，最好能够涉及到他们业务上取得的成绩，比如说：“I learned that your company has seen tremendous growth in recent years. I’m keen to know how you made such a success.”你需要表现出对这个公司浓厚的兴趣，到了这时，基本上一张聘书就到手了。
