职场英语：如何在英文面试中脱颖而出

我们通过对大量面试资料的分析，发现一些典型的问题在各种面试中反复出现，恰恰是这些看似平常的问题使许多应聘者失去了得到理想工作的机会。所以在面试篇中，我们将逐个对这些常见的面试问题进行讲解，并提供得体应答例句。

一、WHAT TO TALK ABOUT 如何介绍?

你可以选择三个重点来介绍自己，但避免重复履历中曾提及的资料。

Around this skeleton should be the meat of your answer; your less obvious, but important skills. Here are some of the skills that you might want to mention. 你可以介绍自己是：

1. Problem solver 解决问题能手

2. Creative thinker 充满创意

3. Accurate 小心谨慎

4. People person 与人相处融洽

5. Team player 合群

6. Organized 组织力高

This doesn't mean that you just say, "I'm a great problem solver." Instead, explain how you used your problem-solving skills at your previous job. 事例比自我夸耀更能说明问题。

自我介绍的时间不要过长，最好是一至三分钟。最初你可能会觉得时间太长，但当你真正要介绍自己三项特质时，你就会发现时间不够用了。

二、WHAT TO SAY 应说什么?

What you actually say, in terms of the words you use, is something that you have to decide. You need to create an answer that sounds natural and, at the same time, interesting. 背答案估计没有人愿意听。The way to determine whether your answer is natural is simply by writing a first draft of the answer and then read it out loud. When you do this, you'll probably spot things that you have to change.

Here are some final things to think about when answering the question "Tell me about yourself."

当你构思答案时，你要想想应该如何说出，内容要令人感兴趣，不沉闷，避免滔滔不绝地只说自己的强项。

1. Mention major awards or accomplishments that relate to your career;阐述工作上的重要成就或奖项

2. Promote your strengths, but do not mention any of your weaknesses;推销自己的长处，但不要提及自己的弱点

3. Try to be funny if you can, but don't force it;可以的话，尽量说得幽默有趣

4. Summarize your career and education, but don't recite a list;概括说出你的工作经验和学历，但切勿背诵

5. Don't start with your date of birth;不用提及你的出生日期

6. Avoid information that is not career-related. The fact that you own a dog won't get you a job避免说一些与职业无关的事，例如：你有一只狗，这并不能为你争取到工作

7. Always answer this question经常思考和解答这条问题

8. Try to sound natural对答要自然

9. Relax and enjoy yourself!放松心情，尽力而为。

祝你面试成功!
