外企面试时的问题和答案

（一）面试例题

试题1：为什么你是这份工作的最佳人选？

A、我干过不少这种职位，我的经验将帮助我胜任这一岗位。

B、我干什么都很出色。

C、通过我们之间的交流，我觉得这里是一个很好的工作地点。

D、你们需要可以生产出“效益”的人，而我的背景和经验可以证明我的能力，例如：我曾经……

试题2：判断性问题，你有没有创造性？你能不能在压力下工作？

试题3：描述一下你自己。

A、列举自己的个人经历、业余兴趣爱好等。

B、大肆宣扬一下自己良好的品德和工作习惯。

C、列举3个自己的性格与成就的具体案例。

（二）答案例题分析

例题1：A、错误。经验是好的，但“很多相同职位”也许更让人觉得你并不总能保证很好的表现。

B、错误。很自信的回答，但是过于傲慢。对于这种问题合适的案例和谦虚更重要。

C、错误。这对雇主来说是一个很好的恭维，但是过于自我为中心了，答非所问。应该指出你能为雇主提供什么。

D、最佳答案。回答问题并提供案例支持在这里是最好的策略。

例题2：A、错误。没有支持的答案总是显得不可信。即使是这种只需要回答“是”或“否”的问题也需要具体的解释。

B、最佳答案。一个简短的具体案例可以很好地支持你的答案，同时，也能表明你的自信和真诚。

C、错误。具体案例可以更简单有力地说明你的能力。在解释的时候，人们往往会跑题，夹杂不清。同时，最好不要用“应聘指南”之类的“经典”套话，那会让你像个“职业”应聘的。

例题3：A、错误。一般来说，招聘者更想通过这个问题了解你的习惯和行为方式。个人的详细资料对他们来说没有任何意义。

B、自大并不能让你从竞争中脱颖而出。回答完问题以后，你必须得到招聘者的信任并让他/她记住你。这样的宣扬并不成功。

C、最佳答案。案例是你能力最好的证据。一个清晰简明有力的案例能让你从人群中脱颖而出，给招聘者留下好印象。因此，在面试以前最好考虑一下这份工作需要自己什么样的品质，做好准备。

外企面试最常见的怪题

外商投资企业为了招聘到适合本企业需要的有一定素质的员工，不仅要看应聘者的文凭、职业资格证书和工作经验，进行必要的笔试，而且还要出一些怪题对应聘者进行面试，以便掌握应聘者某些方面的素质情况。这里举一些实例供应聘者参考，以便到外企面试遇到类似怪题时，能胸有成竹，应对自如，免得因摸不清意图，措手不及而被淘汰。

分拣跳棋子

有的外企在招收员工时，为测试应聘者的手脚灵活程度，给每个应聘者放一堆跳棋子，要求其在一分钟内挑出混杂在一起的5种颜色的跳棋子，并按各色分别排列好，如在规定的时间内没有按要求完成，即被淘汰。

看图说话

外企招聘员工，需测试应聘者的反应能力，有的外企在转动的机器上装上彩色图画，画面上有动物、植物、建筑物、交通工具、家用电器等，在应聘者面前按一定的速度移过，要求应聘者在规定的时间内说出自己所看到的内容。

分蛋糕

有一家外企招聘员工面试时。出了这样一道题，要求应聘者把一盒蛋糕切成8份，分给8个人，但蛋糕盒里还必须留有一份。面对这样的怪题，有些应聘者绞尽脑汁也无法分成；而有些应聘者却感到此题实际很简单，把切成的8份蛋糕先拿出7份分给7人，剩下的1份连蛋糕盒一起分给第8个人。应聘者的创造思维能力这就显而易见了。

冒着烈日长跑

考试应聘者意志、吃苦耐劳精神，常是外企招聘面试要出的题。有一家外企从应届技校毕业生中招一批员工，面试时，要求应聘者冒着烈日，跑到近效的一座山再返回。测试结果，有的应聘者投机取巧，未跑到目的地就返回；有的应聘者虽跑到目的地，但在返回途中搭乘出租车；也有的应聘者按规定跑到目的地后再跑回。外企公布录取名单时，前两种人榜上无名，后一种人被录用为员工。

雨中打伞

走路作为外企的员工，要求具有团结协作精神。因此，一家外企招聘员工时，要求应聘者冒雨到附近指定地点然后返回，但只有一半的应聘者发到伞。应聘者在这场面试中出现这样的情况：有的发到伞应聘者主动与无伞的应聘者搭档，风雨同伞；有的无伞的应聘者则与有伞的应聘者协商合用一把伞；还有的有伞的应聘者只顾自己不顾别人，独自撑一把伞。结果，独自撑一把伞者被淘汰，而风雨同伞者则被录用。

谈观后感

有的外企招聘员工时，组织应聘者先参观本企业。然后，要求应聘者谈观后感。测试中，有的应聘者谈不出什么感想，或只讲本企业的好话；而有的应聘者，则能对本企业不足之外提出意见，并提出改进的建议，如何加强安全防扩措施等；显然，后一种应聘者更关心企业的发展，具有较强的事业心和责任感，因而受到外企的欢迎。

常见英文面试题

1. So, tell me a little about yourself.

You don’t need to explain everything from birth to present day. Relevant facts about education, your career and your current life situation are fine.

2. Why are you looking (or why did you leave you last job)?

This should be a straightforward question to answer, but it can trip you up. Presumably you are looking for a new job (or any job) because you want to advance your career and get a position that allows you to grow as a person and an employee. It’s not a good idea to mention money here, it can make you sound mercenary. And if you are in the unfortunate situation of having been downsized, stay positive and be a***rief as pos***le about it. If you were fired, you’ll need a good explanation. But once again, stay positive.

3. Tell me what you know about this company.

Do your homework before you go to any interview. Whether it’***eing the VP of marketing or the mailroom clerk, you should know about the company or business you’re going to work for. Has this company been in the news lately? Who are the people in the company you should know about? Do the background work, it will make you stand out as someone who comes prepared, and is genuinely interested in the company and the job.

4. Why do you want to work at X Company?

This should be directly related to the last question. Any research you’ve done on the company should have led you to the conclusion that you’d want to work there. After all, you’re at the interview, right? Put some thought into this answer before you have your interview, mention your career goals and highlight forward-thinking goals and career plans.

5. What relevant experience do you have?

Hopefully if you’re applying for this position you have bags of related experience, and if that’s the case you should mention it all. But if you’re switching careers or trying something a little different, your experience may initially not look like it’s matching up. That’s when you need a little honest creativity to match the experiences required with the ones you have. People skills are people skills after all, you just need to show how customer service skills can apply to internal management positions, and so on.

6. If your previous co-workers were here, what would they say about you?

Ok, this is not the time for full disclosure. If some people from your past are going to say you’re a boring A-hole, you don’t need to bring that up. Stay positive, always, and maybe have a few specific quotes in mind. “They’d say I was a hard worker” or even better “John Doe has always said I was the most reliable, creative problem-solver he’d ever met.”

7. Have you done anything to further your experience?

This could include anything from night classes to hobbies and sports. If it’s related, it’s worth mentioning. Obviously anything to do with further education is great, but maybe you’re spending time on a home improvement project to work on skills such as self-sufficiency, time management and motivation.

8. Where else have you applied?

This is a good way to hint that you’re in demand, without sounding like you’re whoring yourself all over town. So, be honest and mention a few other companie***ut don’t go into detail. The fact that you’re seriously looking and keeping your options open is what the interviewer is driving at.

9. How are you when you’re working under pressure?

Once again, there are a few ways to answer thi***ut they should all be positive. You may work well under pressure, you may thrive under pressure, and you may actually PREFER working under pressure. If you say you crumble like aged blue cheese, this is not going to help you get your foot in the door.

10. What motivates you to do a good job?

The answer to this one is not money, even if it is. You should be motivated by life’s noble pursuits. You want recognition for a job well done. You want to become better at your job. You want to help others or be a leader in your field.

11. What’s your greatest strength?

This is your chance to shine. You’re being asked to explain why you are a great employee, so don’t hold back and stay do stay positive. You could be someone who thrives under pressure, a great motivator, an amazing problem solver or someone with extraordinary attention to detail. If your greatest strength, however, is to drink anyone under the table or get a top score on Mario Kart, keep it to yourself. The interviewer is looking for work-related strengths.

12. What’s your biggest weakness?

If you’re completely honest, you may be kicking yourself in the butt. If you say you don’t have one, you’re obviously lying. This is a horrible question and one that politicians have become masters at answering. They say things like “I’m perhaps too committed to my work and don’t spend enough time with my family.” Oh, there’s a fireable offense. I’ve even heard “I think I’m too good at my job, it can often make people jealous.” Please, let’s keep our feet on the ground. If you’re asked this question, give a small, work-related flaw that you’re working hard to improve. Example: “I’ve been told I occasionally focus on details and miss the bigger picture, so I’ve been spending time laying out the complete project every day to see my overall progress.”

13. Let’s talk about salary. What are you looking for?

Run for cover! This is one tricky game to play in an interview. Even if you know the salary range for the job, if you answer first you’re already showing all your cards. You want as much as pos***le, the employer wants you for as little as you’re willing to take. Before you apply, take a look at salary.com for a good idea of what someone with your specific experience should be paid. You may want to say, “well, that’s something I’ve thought long and hard about and I think someone with my experience should get between X & Y.” Or, you could be sly and say, “right now, I’m more interested in talking more about what the position can offer my career.” That could at least buy you a little time to scope out the situation. But if you do have a specific figure in mind and you are confident that you can get it, I’d say go for it. I have on many occasions, and every time I got very close to that figure (both below and sometimes above).

14. Are you good at working in a team?

Unless you have the I.Q. of a houseplant, you’ll always answer YES to this one. It’s the only answer. How can anyone function inside an organization if they are a loner? You may want to mention what part you like to play in a team though; it’s a great chance to explain that you’re a natural leader.

15. Tell me a suggestion you have made that was implemented.

It’s important here to focus on the word “implemented.” There’s nothing wrong with having a thousand great ideas, but if the only place they live is on your notepad what’s the point? Better still, you need a good ending. If your previous company took your advice and ended up going bankrupt, that’s not such a great example either. Be prepared with a story about an idea of yours that was taken from idea to implementation, and considered successful.
