英文面試準備方向分為哪些型態？

比起一般中文面試，英文面試準備方向更為廣泛，主要因為許多外商會採二、三次面試，面試環節多元，如果在丟履歷前，沒有事先了解英文面試型態有哪些，就容易在英文面試準備不完全的狀況下，因為慌張而留下不夠好的印象。唯有了解英文面試會有的型態，其中有那些眉角該注意，都能幫助你更自信面對。

電話	接到電話時，可以先移動至安靜的地點，仔細聆聽問題，並以帶有自信的語調回覆，言談中避免無意義的語助詞，也可以適當提出關鍵問題，加深好印象，並在結束前表達謝意
視訊	視訊英文面試準備一定要在約定時間前，先測試電腦電量是否充足、網路、鏡頭、聲音、耳機狀態是否正常，並確保視訊範圍環境安靜、整潔、明亮，並穿上正式得體的服裝，搭配精神感佳的妝容，將所需檔案事先開好，或將資料放置在隨手可拿之處
一對一	正式合宜的服裝及妝容是一對一英文面試準備的基本，面試當天為避免路上可能的突發狀況，應提早出門，帶好所需文件，並在面試時間前5-10鐘報到。面試時以適當的禮儀及肢體語言，語意通順有自信的展現自已
團體	與一對一面試注意事項相同，但唯有幾點是團體英文面試準備要留意。多人一同面試，多少有怕輸的競爭感，與其搶著表現自已，在團體中更應表現出尊重合群的態度，並同時在清晰的思緒與邏輯中，放入自身獨到的觀點，適當的發言與強調自我特色，更能在團體面試中被看見

英文面試準備重點&成功守則

將英文面試準備重點抽絲剝繭的分析，並在面試前勤加練習，是面試成功的不二法門。正確的英文面試準備方向，也能讓努力與收獲達成正比，在眾多競爭者中被看見。所以英文面試準備時，首要除了如何提升英文面試能力，還有一些準備重點及成功守則，你也需要知道！

● 多聽英文，熟悉語感

英文面試準備最重要的部份，就是要先提升英文能力，平常可以利用廣播、Podcast、影集、電影或線上教學網站等，幫自已創造環境來增強語感。

● 熟悉公司背景及專業有關的英文單字

面試公司的產業文化、產品、未來發展，及與專業有關的英文單字及專有名詞，都是英文面試準備時，一定要去了解的基本，面試時才能給人有做足功課前來的好印象。

● 練習說出流暢英文

英文面試準備應多練習用英文表達出面試可能會遇到的問題，以及多準備幾份用詞，如何換句話說自己的背景與特質，多開口練習，才能讓面試回答時不會像唸流水帳與背稿。

英文自我介紹流程重點

如果你擔心面試太過緊張而吃螺絲，忘了接下來該說什麼，導致面試現場尷尬的卡關狀態，那你在英文面試準備自我介紹的部份時，建議你一定要以帶有脈絡的流程方式來準備，就算在緊張的狀態下面試，也能根據原先練習的流程重點，有條不紊的完整介紹自已。

【流程】打招呼 ➤ 個人背景 ➤ 個人特質 ➤ 目標

例：Pleasant to meet you. Good morning. / Good afternoon.

➤ 個人背景

畢業生可以說明畢業背景及所學專長，已經有工作經驗者，則可以介紹自己的前一個工作或相關工作經驗興趣，最好能以具體的數字、成績及相關成就來做說明。

例：In my leisure time, I enjoy …. / I go to….

❶ Tell me about yourself.

參考答案：

Sure, so, my name is Joe and I am 27 years old.

For the past 5 years, I’ve been working as a business analyst at Company X and Y.

I have some background in data analysis, with a degree from University XY. What really got me into the field, though, is the internship I did at Company Z.

Throughout my career, I’ve noticed that I’ve always been good with numbers and handling data.

For example, when I was working at Company X, I led a project for migrating all operations data to a new data warehousing system to cut down on costs. The new solution was a much better fit for our business, which eventually led to savings of up to $200,000 annually.

Moving forward, I hope to expand my experience across different industries. Particularly fintech, which is why I’m interested in your company..

❷ Walk me through your resume.

參考答案：

I started off my marketing career as an intern. During the six-month period, I took care of writing website copy, building email campaigns, and creating posts for social media. My progress was well-received by the management, and I got hired for a full-time marketing specialist position. With that promotion, my responsibilities increased – I was in charge of the company’s social media accounts, and was doing everything from creating posts to building ad campaigns. The accomplishment I am most proud of is winning Marketer of the Year, as that was definite proof that all my hard work was recognized. Another essential thing I included on my resume is my skill set, including my ability to use all major social media platforms.”

❸ Why do you want to work at this company?

參考答案：

This opportunity is really exciting for me as I will be able to…’
I see the role as a way of developing my career in a forward-thinking/well-established company/industry as…’
I feel I will succeed in the role because I have experience in/softs skills that demonstrate/ I’ve taken this course…’
I believe my skills are well-suited to this job because…”

❹ Why do you want this job?

參考答案：

I see this opportunity as a way to contribute to an exciting/forward-thinking/fast-moving company/industry, and I feel I can do so by/with my …
I feel my skills are particularly well-suited to this position because …”
● I believe I have the type of knowledge to succeed in this role and at the company because …”
● “I’m excited about this job opportunity, as it would allow me to …”

❺ What are your strengths?

參考答案：

I consider my leadership skills to be one of my greatest strengths. During my time as a department head, I successfully merged two teams and organized training programs for all team members to ensure that everyone was confident in their new role. As a result, we were able to increase sales by 5% within our first month as a new team.

Thanks to my experience as an HR representative, I have gained excellent communication skills. I was responsible for facilitating informational workshops for staff members and mediated any conflict in the workplace. I have also completed a course on effective communication from UCLA.

I have 5 years of experience as a copywriter and consider myself to have strong writing skills. I was promoted to an editorial position after five years at the company, so I have also improved my editing skills thanks to my new role.

➏ What are your weaknesses?

參考答案：

I find public speaking intimidating and have often struggled with presentations. As a result, I am currently taking a public speaking course at a community college to become more confident and learn to structure a speech more effectively.

I often struggle with delegating and choose to take on a larger workload to ensure that a task is completed perfectly. This puts more pressure on myself, so I have been using software to assign tasks and track their completion. So far this has helped me to trust my co-workers and focus more on my own tasks.

Shyness is something that I struggle with in large groups. I find it intimidating to ask questions or raise points, so I have often remained quiet in the past. I have been trying to be more vocal in smaller groups to become more confident.

➐ Tell me about a challenge or conflict you’ve faced at work, and how you dealt with it.

參考答案：

At my last job in sales, we had an issue with a client who was extremely unhappy with the specifics of our arrangement.

As her primary point of contact in the company, it was my job to defuse the situation and help him come to a new deal that worked for both our company and his.

First, I spoke to him about the specifics he was upset with, namely delivery costs and trouble he was having using our software. We rehashed sticking points to the point where he was satisfied with the new arrangement. Additionally, we assigned him a permanent customer success representative to ensure he could take full advantage of our products.

While at the start, he was close to ending our relationship, by the end he was a happy customer. He later subscribed to our full service package and became one of our top five clients the following year.

➑ What is your greatest professional achievement?

參考答案：

My greatest achievement at my last company was when I designed and implemented a loyalty card scheme for customers.

During the first 6 months of the launch we saw increases in revenue of 19%, which was the biggest increase the company had ever seen during a 6-month period.

Through this initiative I gained a promotion and won the ‘Employee of the Year’ award.

I would love the opportunity to apply my experiences and knowledge in planning and refining this loyalty system, to organise a similar initiate at your company. I am confident that I can improve your organisation, and I am keen to explore other ways I can drive more sales.”

➒ Why are you leaving your current job?

參考答案：

I want to learn more
I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility
I believe I’ve progressed as far as I can in my current role
I need a change of environment to motivate me
I want to develop a new skill that isn’t required in my current job
I don’t feel like my current role is challenging me anymore

➓ What can you bring to the company?

參考答案：

I saw that the job description says you need somebody who has extensive HR management experience. I’ve been working as an HR Manager for the past five years, and I think one key contribution that I’d bring to this role and company is my familiarity with your industry. My last position was in this same industry, so I’m very familiar with the space. I’m also somebody who can take initiative and solve problems without being asked. Based on the job description, it sounds like your company appreciates people who are self-starters and are able to work independently, so that’s something else that I’d bring to this organization.

⓫ What’s a time you disagreed with a decision that was made at work?

參考答案：

One time, I disagreed with my manager over the best way to help a customer. And, rather than questioning her authority in front of everyone in the store, I asked her to speak privately in her office. I made sure to be open and honest about how I thought we could better handle the situation. She agreed, so we decided to do it my way. It taught me a lot about the importance of open communication in the workplace. Our customer left content, and we were able to establish an even better relationship.

One time, I disagreed with my boss over a decision that would cost the company a lot of money if we did it his way. It had to do with how we were going to handle our Facebook ad campaigns, and I came up with a solution that ultimately saved the company a grand on our advertising. I ended up writing up a document explaining my plan and emailing it to him, asking to chat more in person. He loved the idea, so we went with it, and it ended up working out great.

⓬ Where do you see yourself in five years?

參考答案：

In five years, I want to complete the internal training program for my position. I’ve read about it on your website, and I think it’s a fabulous program. Not only would I get all the training for my role, but I would be on the fast track to becoming a project manager. That’s my top career goal. Plus, my ideal path would include working abroad for a couple of years. I understand that it’s of value to you to find people prepared to do so.
