是不是為即將到來(lái)的面試而忐忑不安呢?下面這篇幽默的對(duì)話不但可以緩解你對(duì)面是的恐懼，還可以讓你了解不少面試的知識(shí)。
A: Hello, Modern English. Drew here.
你好，洋話連篇，我是Drew。
B: Hi, buddy, it's Marco.
嘿哥們兒，我是Marco。
A: How can I help you today?
今天想聊些什么?
B: Well. I am going for an interview tomorrow. Can you give me an idea of what the interviewer will ask?
明天我要參加面試。你能幫我想想他們都會(huì)問(wèn)什么問(wèn)題嗎?
A: Well, they may ask you to tell them about your educational background and your working background.
他們會(huì)問(wèn)你關(guān)于你的教育背景和工作背景的問(wèn)題。
B: But they can see my resume. It's all in there.
但是他們可以看我的簡(jiǎn)歷，都在那里呢。
A: I know, but sometimes interviewers may want to hear you say it. Then, you may be asked for your viewpoint on why you feel you're qualified for the job, give them all your qualifications and how you think they fit with the position you are applying for. Questions like "What sort of experience do you have and what are your goals?" are closely related to this, also.
我知道，但是有時(shí)面試者們想聽(tīng)你自己說(shuō)。然后他們會(huì)問(wèn)你為什么你覺(jué)得自己能勝任這份工作。把自身的優(yōu)勢(shì)都說(shuō)出來(lái)，告訴他們你有能力勝任這份工作。有些問(wèn)題像你有什么經(jīng)驗(yàn)和你有什么目標(biāo)是緊密聯(lián)系的。
B: Ok, what else?
好的，還有什么其它的嗎?
A: They may want to know how the company will benefit, with your answers to questions like "What can you offer this company?" and "Why should I hire you?"
他們也許還想知道你會(huì)為公司帶來(lái)什么樣的利益。會(huì)問(wèn)像你能為公司帶來(lái)什么，或是我們?yōu)槭裁匆媚恪?/p>
B: I see, what about salary?
我知道了。那工資呢?
A: Umm, they may ask you what kind of salary you had in mind, or simply tell you what the company is offering. I think the latter is more likely for a starting position, especially if you have little or no experience. And if they are seriously considering hiring you, they will probably want to know when you would be able to start working. And basically, that's about it.
噢。他們可能會(huì)問(wèn)你想要多少工資，或簡(jiǎn)單的告訴你公司的打算。我想一開(kāi)始工作的話，后者的能性要大一些，尤其是你沒(méi)有工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的話。如果他們真的考慮要用你的話，他們可能會(huì)問(wèn)你，你什么時(shí)候會(huì)開(kāi)始工作，一般就這些了。
B: Oh, thanks, Drew, you've helped me a lot.
謝了，Drew 你幫了大忙了。
A: Anytime, bro. Let me know how it works out.
沒(méi)事兒，兄弟，別忘了告訴我結(jié)果。
Notes:
[1] Why do you feel you are qualified for the job? 這句話在面試中經(jīng)常問(wèn)到，但它卻不好答。要多用一些技巧，盡量把自己的能力表現(xiàn)出來(lái)。
[2] What sort of experience do you have? Sort of和kind of一樣，表示某種的意思，另外，它還是一個(gè)流行的口語(yǔ)，當(dāng)你表達(dá)不清的時(shí)侯，用這個(gè)詞來(lái)調(diào)整一下。
[3] When would you be able to start working? 通常的回答是ASAP: as soon as possible.
