面試中如何向面試官提問的正確方法

一般而言,在面試結束之前,主考官往往會留幾分鐘的時間讓應聘者提問,外企面試尤爲如此。主考官這樣做的真實意圖是爲了進一步瞭解應聘者對應聘職位有多大的興趣和熱忱。如果應聘者在提問時擔心問題不妥當而吞吞吐吐,或是不知該從何問起,甚至直接回答沒有問題

The interviewer asks you, "Do you have any questions for me?"

面試官問你，“你有什麼問題要問我嗎?”

You say …… "Yes!"

你回答說……“有!”

This is the easiest interview question out there. Always say yes.

　　這是最簡單的面試問題，總要說有的。

Asking questions shows that you're interested in the job. It also gives you a chance to show how knowledgeable you are about the position and the industry. Most important, it lets you highlight why you're the perfect candidate.

能提出問題表示你對這份工作很有興趣。這還給了你一個機會展示一下你對這個職位以及這個行業的熟悉程度，最重要的是，這給你機會來強調爲什麼你是最佳求職者。

You have to choose your questions carefully, though, depending on who's doing the interviewing. An excellent question for a recruiter might be inappropriate for an executive. And you don't want to ask your potential boss something that's best suited for a future coworker.

不過你應該根據來面試你的人仔細的選擇你的問題。一個問招聘人員最合適的問題卻不一定合適問高級主管。你也不想用最應該問將來同事的問題向未來老闆提問吧。

Also, there are certain questions you should never ask early in the interview process —— no matter whom you're meeting. Don't ask about salary, vacation, 401(k)or anything else that might make you seem more interested in the compensation than the company.

還有，有些問題是你永遠都不應該在面試環節提問的——不管誰面試你。不要提問關於薪水、假期、退休金或者其他可能讓你看上去更關心薪金而不是公司的問題。

這篇文章爲你提供一些適合問各種面試官的問題。

The Recruiter: The 'Big Picture' Person

　　招聘人員：統觀大局的人

It's the recruiter's job to identify strong candidates and guide them through the hiring process. Think of the recruiter as the "big picture" person. They can give you an overview of the company and the department as a whole. (Save very specific questions about the job for the hiring manager.) The recruiter is also the best person to answer questions about the hiring process.

招聘人員的工作就是識別那些強有力的求職者，通過招聘程序給他們一些引導。把這些人當作統觀大局的人。他們可以給你一個對全公司和整個部門的總的看法。(把那些具體的問題留給招聘經歷吧。)招聘人員還是回答招聘程序的最佳人選。

Some questions to ask the recruiter:

　　一些適合問招聘人員的問題：

* How would you describe the company culture?

* What type of employees tend to excel at this company?

* Can you tell me more about the interview process?

* 你怎樣形容這家公司的企業文化?

* 什麼類型的員工能在這家公司有比較好的發展?

* 能給我多講講招聘程序嗎?

The Hiring Manager: Your Future Boss　　

招聘經理：你未來的老闆

The hiring manager will likely supervise you if you get the job. They're the most knowledgeable people about the position and its requirements. You should direct specific questions about the job, its responsibilities and its challenges to them. You may also want to ask what kind of candidate they're seeking.

如果你拿到了這份工作，招聘經理很可能就是管理你的人。他們是對職位和職位需求最清楚的人。你應該直接問他們關於工作的具體問題，工作要擔負什麼樣的責任，有什麼樣的挑戰。你還可以問問他們在尋找什麼樣的人。

Some questions to ask the hiring manager:

一些適合問招聘經理的問題：

* What are the most important skills for the job?

* How would you describe your ideal candidate?

* What's a common career path at the company for someone in this role?

* 對這份工作來說最重要的能力是什麼?

* 你怎樣描述理想中的候選人呢?

* 公司裏做這個職位的人發展前景是什麼樣的?

The Executive: The Industry Expert

　　高級主管：行業專家

Senior managers and executives are likely to be most knowledgeable about the latest happenings in their industry. If you'll be working closely with an executive, you can ask them some specifics about the job. But you should focus most of your questions on the future of the company and the industry. This is your chance to show off your industry knowledge!

高管可能是對全行業的動態最瞭解的人。如果你將和一位高管一起工作，你可以問他們一些關於工作的具體問題。但是你的問題應該更多着眼於公司和全行業的發展前途。這是一個讓你炫耀你的行業知識的機會。

Some questions to ask a senior manager or executive:

　　一些適合問高管的問題：

* How do you think this industry will change in the next five years?

* What do you think gives this company an edge over its competitors?

* What's the company's biggest challenge? How is it planning to meet that challenge?

* 你覺得這個行業在未來五年會發生什麼樣的變化?

* 你覺得公司和其他競爭者相比有什麼優勢?

* 公司現在面臨的最大挑戰是什麼?公司有什麼計劃迎接這些挑戰嗎?

The Coworker: The Straight-Talker

　　同事：有話直說的人

Some interviews will also include a meeting with a potential coworker —— the interviewer most likely to "tell it how it is." A potential colleague may be most candid about the job, its challenges and the work environment. However, don't expect inside information —— and certainly don't ask for it.

有時候面試管中可能會有一位未來的同事——這樣的面試官最有可能有一說一。一位可能的同事也許是最坦白交待工作的人，關於工作中的挑戰和工作環境等。但是，別期待內部消息——也別打聽。

Some questions to ask a potential coworker:

　　一些適合問未來同事的問題：

* What's a typical day like in the department?

* How would you describe the work environment at the company?

* What's the most enjoyable part of your job? What's the most challenging part?

* 在這個部門最典型的一天是怎麼過的?

* 你覺得公司裏的工作環境是什麼樣的?

* 你的工作中最有趣的部分是什麼?最有挑戰的又是什麼?
