準備面試的十大必殺技(上)

Tip 1 面試前必須做準備

面試就像場考試,你必須做考前複習。

I think the first and most important thing to say is you need to prepare. It's just like an exam —— you know, could you imagine as a student going into an exam without preparing? I hope not. If you fail to prepare, really you prepare to fail.

Tip 2 如何做準備

在準備的過程中你需要考慮到以下兩點:一、瞭解自己並學會介紹你自己;二、瞭解你想要應聘的企業。

In preparing, you need to think about two things. First of all, yourself. What's really important to you and what kind of skills have you got that you can offer an employer? The other side of preparation is researching the employer. We expect you to have been on the web and done some research. And the candidate who really stands out is the candidate actually who's gone one step further. They may, for example, have downloaded a copy of our annual report and be able to talk about that. They may actually have sought out somebody who works at KPMG and chatted to them about the job and the careers service at the university will help them with that kind of thing.

Tip 3 我的準備過程

在此,我想與大家分享下我的面試準備經驗。首先,我會以很認真、全面的態度去對待這件事,將可能被問到的問題一一列出。然後自己進行演練。最後,我會請我妻子充當考官,問我那些問題。

Let me share with you how I would actually prepare for an interview because I do it really really rigorously. My last interview, I would say I probably prepared for two to three days. First thing I do is to try to think about the organisation and what questions it is going to ask me. And I make a list of all those questions —— maybe ten, twenty, thirty —— what are they going to ask? What do they want to know about?And then what I do is, I develop specific concrete examples which will enable me to answer those questions and I rehearse those. I actually wander round the room, I look in mirrors and talk to myself. And I use a tape recorder to play it back to me. And then the final thing I do is that I go to my wife and I get her to ask me the questions I think I'm going to be asked and we rehearse them again. And she's really helpful because she kind of says, "No, don't do that", "Say it this way!", "You realise you've repeated yourself?" She spots things that I've forgotten.

Tip 4 用實例來表述你的能力

大多數企業都會用能力來評估應聘者,這就意味着我們要用實際例子來表明自己的能力。最好從各個方面來多準備幾個實例,而不僅僅侷限於你的學術成就。

Most employers use something called competency based interviewing. And this basically means that what we're looking for are examples of your skills and abilities in practice. So one of the things we might be interested in, for example, is your ability to manage a project. And what we want is a specific example. And we don't always just want the same example repeated over and over again. So we might want an example about a project at university. And we might then press you a bit further and say " Well tell me now about a project in your working life "or "Tell me about a project that you did in some kind of social context". Generally, the best advice is to think about two or three examples which you can talk confidently about and try to make sure that they're drawn from different aspects of life, not just your academic studies, for example.

Tip 5 介紹自己時的要點

介紹你自己時,最爲重要的一點就是你要意識到你談論的是你自己以及你做出的貢獻。

What's really important is that you talk about yourself and your contribution. So let's take something like a team project. Yeah, it's good to introduce it and say "I was a member of a five-man team doing this" but what we really want to know is what difference did you make to that team ? Because it's you that we're interested in, it's your skills that we need to know about, because we're recruiting you, not the team.
