想像一下面試官問了你:「Tell me about yourself.」而你卻支支吾吾無法流暢的的答出來,是不是尷尬到只想往地裡鑽?大多數人其實心裡都有想法,只是無法將想法轉換成英文表達出來。別再說巨匠美語費用貴了!以下列舉了常見的英文面試經典題,要來幫助你回答到考官心坎裡!
Tell me about yourself./請你自我介紹 考官問這個問題絕對不是想知道你家中幾個人、讀什麼高中大學,而是要透過你的自我介紹了解你的談吐如何、經歷過什麼樣代表性的工作經驗及作品集,並讓你展現個人風格的時間,因此較適合的回答如下:
Hello, my name is XXX. I began my career in retail management, but 3 years ago, I took a course to become a front-end software engineer. I’ve always been interested in and skilled at creating something from scratch. My experience helped me organize my thoughts logically, and I’ve been building a career as a front-end software engineer ever since.
What are your strengths and weaknesses?/說說你的優缺點 在回答優缺點的時候,巨匠美語提醒大家,還是盡量避開真的會影響人資觀點的缺點,而是透過優缺點再次強調你的哪個優點可以幫助到公司?適當的回答如下:
I believe leadership is my one of my top strengths. During my time as a front-end software team leader, I successfully merged two teams, planned and conducted a training session for the team members, making sure everyone is confident with the new role they were heading into. The new team brought great success in the first month, bringing up the engagement rate for our website by 5%.
My weakness is that I am an idealist. Every time I completed a project, I tended to think that it could have been done better, even though it had already received a lot of compliments. For this reason, I overwork myself quite a lot and feel tired from time to time. I have started to fix this problem by getting assistance from my team members. I have already made good progress and will continue to do so.
What challenges have you faced? How did you handle them?/遇過什麼樣的挑戰?如何克服? 這題要避免過多描述困難的情境,因為考官主要想聽的是你是否擁有解決問題的能力,以及你的邏輯思緒是否清晰,適當的回答如下:
In my previous job, I once noticed that there was an anomaly in the performance of our website. I quickly realized that it was due to a CTA link misplacement. I came up with two possible solutions: removing the CTA or using a redirection landing page to continue tracking website traffic. After a team discussion, we decided to go with the second option, which resulted in a 15% increase in website traffic in the end.
After this incident, I suggested to my manager that we implement a two-step QA process. Since then, we have never seen any problems like that again.
Why did you leave your last job?/離開上一份工作的原因? 巨匠美語特別指出,考官會詢問這題除了想知道你在群體中的相處之外,更能顯示出你對一家公司的看法,無論是制度、氛圍都是,因此較適當的回答如下:
First of all, my former company’s management believes that the success of operations is based on effectiveness, which I absolutely agree with. However, from a cultural perspective, to maintain a certain level of effectiveness, I think we should also consider employees’ happiness. So, I made a difficult decision to leave the company to look for this kind of environment. From reading your company’s website, I feel that staff well-being is also something you care about very much. That’s why I was eager to meet with you.
What are your career goals? Where do you see yourself in 1/3/5 years?/未來的職涯目標如何? 考官在這題中想聽見的是你對自己職涯的願景如何,是否有長期發展的打算?在這題的回答可以延伸出接續詢問考官有關公司的升遷制度。適合的回答如下:
The career plan that I set for the coming year, as a front-end engineer, is to continue to follow the trend of the technology era and to develop innovative, efficient ways to solve problems. I also want to integrate into your company’s culture with my positive, active, and beginner’s mindset.
In addition, no matter where I end up, I plan to understand the core of being in a team and become a good partner who is willing to listen and communicate.
Finally, I plan to pick up a job-related skill every quarter this year to accumulate experience, in the hope of becoming a great supervisor in the future.
使用We代替You 許多人對商用英文推薦用法都有一個誤解,那就是必須寫的文謅謅的,但其實每一次的business e-mail都是與客戶建立情感的絕佳機會,因此把主詞You改成We的話,聽起來既親切友善又能維持專業性。 例句:Your complaint is being looked into. → We are looking into your complaint.
用淺顯易懂的字詞 在商用英文推薦用法中,最重要的就是避免使用華麗但難懂的字,畢竟在商用英文中的原則就是必須確保對方能讀懂信件的意思,且在西方國家中也更偏好使用淺顯易懂的語言。 例句:We look forward to a bright and glorious future of cooperation →We hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future.
拒當肚臍眼英文 承接上點,但是如果每一句話都用I/We/My開頭,整段話有10幾個I,唸起來不但卡卡,還會顯露出你的英文程度低落。因此有幾種常見說法也列舉給大家。 例句: 1. We can’t ignore the value of knowledge. → On no account can we ignore the value of knowledge. (倒裝句) 2. We can’t deny that the qualities of our living have gone from bad to worse. → There is no denying that the qualities of our living have gone from bad to worse. (There is/are 開頭) 3. I need to work overtime tomorrow to fix so many problems. → With so many problems to fix out there, I need to work overtime tomorrow. (用with開頭)
Ielts雅思,其全名為國際英語測驗系統(The International English Language Testing System)是由劍橋大學英語考試院設計的,用來評估聽說讀寫四項英語的溝通能力,主要對象為要前往英語系國家求學求職者或移民。Ielts考試獲得全球140個國家以上、超過10000個組織認可,包含公司企業、專業協會、教育機構及政府部門等,是考生人數最多的國際英檢考試,因此也提供多種雅思考場及雅思考試日期。IDP國際教育中心是ielts考試的台灣正式官方機關,於每個月舉辦試驗,而巨匠美語則獲得IDP授權為報名中心與考試中心。與其他英語檢定不同的是,ielts考試著重的是「日常應用英文」的能力,因此不再單看紙本文憑的成績證明,而是檢測考生真實的英語實戰能力,這將幫助考生與單位雙方能有更真實且具公信力的評測標準,能夠更精準的鑑別出適用的人。
