到外企应聘如何准备英文RESUME

　　一份出色的Resume，是向外企求职的关键之一。不了解有关的常识和程式，不花费相当的心思来展示，以有纯正娴熟的英文功底，决不能获得单位的青睐。在一大堆错误百出、英文表达能力低劣或平庸，毫无针对性和创造性的Resume中，你的那份若能让人眼睛一亮，成功的机会必将大大增加，以下试着结合一个具体的例子给出说明和评述。

　　Balance Sheet：

　　基本方法选取适当的工作后，必须看清招聘广告上所列出的每项要求，再将自己的学历、能力与兴趣逐一与之比较，作一张balance sheet.

　　例如，一则关于marketing management trainee和job requirement是这样写的：

　　We are looking for a competent person to fill the captioned position：

　　University graduate majors in Marketing Management. Prepared to develop career in the commercial field

　　-outgoing personality

　　-Able to communicate with different levels

　　-Good knowledge in PC operations -Proficiency in written and spoken English/Mandarin

　　则你相应地考虑自己的qualification的选择和表述，如你可写（与上列各项对应）：

　　-University graduate with major in Marketing

　　-Having actively participated in Business club‘s activities and learned accounting and management 
　　-Good in communication with people and like a lot of out door activities know how to tackle with people from all walks of life

　　-Skillful in operating Words,Excel,Lotus1-2-3,etc

　　-Fluent in English and studied advanced level of Mandarin

　　这个方法的好处是可让求职者清楚了解该职位是否适合自己，而本身资料又是否切合要求，而且，明白了各项要求后，就可依据每一点在履历表上重点提出自己在该方面的强项。突出卖点(selling point)，将之放在最吸引别人的地方，使招聘者一眼可见，有利于present自己。

　　工作经验的陈述

　　工作经验是一份resume中令招聘者相当感兴趣的一项内容，善加措词是必不可忽视的要务。

　　刚毕业，何来工作经验？其实，客下读书时的兼职、实习、实践，以至所曾参加的一些课外活动－协助助出版学校刊物、举办活动，展览、宣传……都可算是工作经验、不过，表达起来要有针对性地展开，列出那些与所找工作有关连的项目重点介绍，必要时更可使用summary的方式，给招聘者深入的了解。

　　下面这份材料的相关表这实在简陋呆板：

　　1996/7-1996/8 General Clerk, IBM

　　1995/7-1995/8 Account clerks, Manley Toy Trading

　　1994/6-1994/8Salesgirl,Esprit.

　　倘能换一种表述如：

　　Three years of job experience in different positions have offered me opportunities to understand different job aspects.

　　-As a General Clerk(IBM),Accounts clerk (Manley Toy Trading),I have learned how to prepare purchasing orders, place orders, handle accounting mattery, check voucher,……also(Salesgirl, Esprin)developing the technique of sellina, serving and 
stocking.

　　岂非能更好地突出个人工作经验，吸引招聘者的注意力！

　　Job Objective通常，一般求者只会在履历表开端简单地写上所应征的职位－ "Position Applied: Management Trainee "或 "I am appling for…… "其实，若懂得利用这小小空间写出自己的事业目标（job objective），能显示出你对该工作的热诚及憧憬，能令招聘者对你加倍留意。

　　比如这个不错的例子job objective To begin as a Marketing Management Trainee, with opportunity to advance to executive level and contribute to the development of firm.

　　其实，这位外企人士所谈的关于准备RESUME的技巧，完全可以应用到中文简历上来。各位读者可以尝试一下。

求职面试的技巧 
Tricks in Job Hunting Interview

　　Here are good answers to some of the tougher questions asked in job interviews. If you can smoothly supply answers like these during the interview, you are bound to make a good impression.

1. What is important to you in a job?

Mention specific rewards other than a paycheck for example, challenge, the feeling of accomplishment, and knowing that you have made a contribution.

2. Why do you want to work for this organization?

Cite its reputation, the opportunities it offers, and the working conditions. Stress that you want to work for this organization, not just any organization.

3. Why should we employ you?

Point to your academic preparation, job skills, and enthusiasm about working for the firm. Mention your performance in school or previous employment as evidence of your ability to learn and to become productive quickly. If the job involves management responsibilities, refer to past activities as proof of your ability to get along with others and to work as part of a team.

4. If we hire you, how long will you stay with us?

Answer by saying along these lines: "As long as my position here allows me to learn and to advance at a pace with my abilities. "

5. Can we offer you a career path?

Reply: "I believe you could, once I know the normal progression within the organization. Can you tell me about it? " The answer may be revealing.

6. What are your greatest strengths? 
Give a response like one of the following: "I can see what needs to be done and do it ", "I 'm wiling to make decisions ", "I work well with others, " "I can organize my time efficiently. "

7. What are you greatest weakness?

Identify one or two, such as the following: " I tend to drive myself too hard ", " I expect others to perform beyond their capacities ", " I like to see a job done quickly, and I 'm critical if it isn 't. " Note these weaknesses could also be regarded as desirable qualities. The trick with this question is to describe a weakness so that it could also be considered a virtue.

8. What didn 't you like about previous jobs you 've held?

Discuss the things you didn 't like, but avoid making slighting reference to any of your former employers.

9. How do you spend your leisure time?

Mention a cross section of interests-active and quiet, social and solitary -- rather just one.

10. Are there any weaknesses in your education or experience?

Take stock of your weaknesses before the interview. Practice discussing them in a positive light. You 'll find that they are minor when discussed along with all the positive things you have to offer.

11. Where do you want to be five years from now?

Saying that you 'd like to be president is unrealistic, yet few employers want people who are content to sit still. You might say, "in five years, I 'd like to have my boss 's job. " If you can 't qualify for your boss 's job by then, you may not be the fright candidate.

12. What are your salary expectations?

If you are asked this at the outset, it 's best to say, "Why don 't we discuss salary after you decide whether I 'm right for the job? "But if the interviewer asks this after showing real interest in you, speak up. She or he will probably try to meet your price. If you need a clue about what to ask for, say, " Can you discuss your salary range with me? " 
13. What would you do if....?

This question is designed to test your reposes. For example: "What would you do if your computer broke down during an audit? " Your answer there isn 't nearly so important as your approach to the problem. And a calm approach is best. Start by saying, "One thing I might do is ... " Then give several alternative choices.

14. What type of position are you interested in?

Job titles and responsibilities vary from firm to firm . So state your skills instead, such as "I 'm good at figure work, " and the positions that require these skills , such as "accounts payable. "

15. Tell me something about yourself.

Say you 'll be happy to talk about yourself, and ask what the interviewer wants to know. If this point is clarified, respond. If not, tell why you feel your skills will contribute to the job and the organization. This question gives you a great opportunity to sell yourself.

16. Do you have any questions about the organization or the job?

Employers like a candidate who is interested in the organization. so this is a perfect time to convey your interest and enthusiasm.

面试的最后需要做些什么?

关于真正的面试最后要提醒的是：结束面试时要说：“我对这份工作非常感兴趣，我下一步要干些什么？”朋友，你是否在热切地盼望着？如果聘用你，那将是他们的幸运！

　　One last great tip about the actual interview: Always end the interview with, “I am very interested in the position. What are the next steps to take?” Boy, are you eager? They’d be lucky to have you!

准备好你要提出的问题

在面试结束前，考官会俯身对你说：“你对我有什么问题要问吗？”这时，你必须提出问题。首先，不要急于提问，要显出　你在思考有些问题在问的样子，然后从你事先想的问题中选出一个合适的提问。这里有风个备选问题：

　　请您说说一个标准的工作日是什么样的。/ 对您来说，在这家公司荼好在哪里？/ 是否有充分机会参加一些讨论会、培训班，以了解公司的方方面面？/ 您为什么加入这家公司？

　　考官喜欢谈论他们自己，所以这些问题绝对会赢得他们的好感。

　　Have questions of your own. Toward the end of interview. the interviewer is going to lean into you and say,” Do you have any questions for me? You must have questions. First, don’t rush into your answer. Look as if you are thinking about whether you have any questions and then ask an appropriate one from the list you’ve thought about beforehand. Here is a handful of potential questions:

　　How would you describe a typical workday?/What is the best part of working at this company for you? /Are there significant opportunities to take seminars, classes to learn more about the different facets of the company?/Why did you join the company?

　　Interviewers love to talk about themselves, so these questions will win them over every time.

常见问题做好准备

针对以下通常的面试问题事先准备好答案： 
谈一谈你自己的情况。/ 这个职位什么地方最吸引你？/ 设想一下今后5年、10年、20年你会在哪里？/ 你最终的职业目标是什么？/ 谈谈以前在工作中解决过的棘手问题。/ 你最大的优点是什么？/ 你对上一份工作有何感想？/ 你和其他应聘者的不同之处是什么？/ 你发前的经历、学历和大学活动与这份工作有何关联?

最重要的是你要把自己宣传成一个能解决问题的人。想一想你干过的工作，大学里做过的兼职，参加过的志愿者活动，或者你创建过的俱乐部。然后描述你是如何解决具体问题的。描述时要把经历分成三段：1.你所遇到的问题是什么？2.你是如何对它时行分析的3.你执行的解决方案是什么。

Have answers ready for these popular interview questions:

Tell me a little about yourself./What interests you most about this position?/Where so you see yourself in 5,10,20 years?/What is your ultimate career goal?/tell me about a project that had a tough problem that you solved./What are your greatest strengths?/What did you like about your last job?/What separates you from other candidates?/How do your previous experience/academic preparation and college activities relate to this work?

Most importantly, sell yourself as a problem solver. Think about the work you have done, the job you had in college, volunteer work you did, or the club that you founded. Then proceed to illustrate how you solved a particular problem by breaking that experience into three parts:1)The problem you encountered,2)How you analyzed it, and 3)The solution you implemented.

面试中的“陷阱”问题

　　序：在面试时，你能为考官所做的最好的事就是使他或她的工作变得轻松，如果考官在与你交谈后心中感到沉重的话，这对你很不利，但是，如果你们的交流留给他人这样一种感觉――“嘿，我喜欢这次交流”，那么你离得到这份工作就不远了。

　　第一种是“陷阱”问题，几乎在所有面试中都会出现。“陷阱”问题是指“你在哪些方面最需要改进”或者“你的缺点是什么”之类的问题。你真实的回答或许是你不拘小节，或者是你十分腼腆，但是无论你回答什么，都不要把你的个人缺点拿出来“分享”，相反，你要尽力找一个算不上是真正的缺点，甚至稍微接近理想化的个性特征来回答。譬如说，“我喜欢把一件工作从头干到尾，而不是只做其中的一个环节，而见不到完成的结果。如果不能经历工作的整个过程，我会觉得有点沮丧。”或者，“有时我很难拒绝别人的请求，结果就承担了许多份外的工作。”如果你实在想不出什么话好回答，你可以尝试以下这句经久不衰（尽管有些过时）的答谢：“我是个完美主义者。我所要改进之处是不要对自己太苛刻，并确信自己能把诸事外理妥当。”

The best thin you can do for your interviewers is to make his/her job easier. If interviewers walk out after talking to you feeling like they carried the weight of the conversation, which is a strike against you. But if your exchange leaves them with a feeling of,“Hey, I enjoyed that,” that could move you that much closer to hearing that you got the job.

　First is the trap question, which comes up in almost every interview. The trap question is some variaton on“ What is the area you need most improvement in? ”or“ What is your area of weakness?” The real answer may be that you have are lousy to attention detail or that you are incredibly shy. Whatever you do, don’t share your personal weaknesses. Instead, try to find something to say that isn’t a real weakness，but a slightly less-than-ideal characteristic. For example: “I prefer to see a project through from start to finish rather than working on a single component and never seeing the finished product. I sometimes find it a bit frustrating to work without that overall context.”“ Sometimes I have a hard time saying no to people, and I end up taking on more than my share of work.” If you really can’t think of anything to say, you can always go with this time-tesed (albeit cliched) comeback: “I’m a perfectionist. I need to improve on not being so hard on myself and making sure I get everything right. ”

为何要离开你以前的公司 
　　对为何要离开你以前的公司而对新的公司产生兴趣之类的问题时，应该谨慎回答。 这样的问题（以及它们的答案）的意图在于证实你对新公司确有读音，而不是由于你被解雇或者在以前的工作岗位上犯了严重的错误。如果考官很尖锐地问你：“你为什么被解雇？”回答要简单扼要。譬如“那里的环境不和睦，许多人都被迫离开”就是个很好的回答。

　　Be on the lookout for questions about why you left your old company and why you are interested in the new one. These questions(or their offspring) are designed to make sure your interest in the new company is sincere and not due to you being fired and/or having the interviewer throws at you:“Why were you fired?”keep the answer simple and brief.“It was a hostile environment in which many people were let go,”is a good way to handle it.

这里只是几个常见的英文面试问题，以供参考，多见于外企

What Are Your Weaknesses?

This is the most dreaded question of all. Handle it by minimizing your weakness and emphasizing your strengths. Stay away from personal qualities and concentrate on professional traits: “I am always working on improving my communication skills to be a more effective presenter. I recently joined Toastmasters, which I find very helpful.”

Why Should We Hire You?

Summarize your experiences: “With five years’ experience working in the financial industry and my proven record of saving the company money, I could make a big difference in your company. I’m confident I would be a great addition to your team.”

Why Do You Want to Work Here?

The interviewer is listening for an answer that indicates you’ve given this some thought and are not sending out resumes just because there is an opening. For example, “I’ve selected key companies whose mission statements are in line with my &＃118;alues, where I know I could be excited about what the company does, and this company is very high on my list of desirable choices.”

What Are Your Goals?

Sometimes it’s best to talk about short-term and intermediate goals rather than locking yourself into the distant future. For example, “My immediate goal is to get a job in a growth-oriented company. My long-term goal will depend on where the company goes. I hope to eventually grow into a position of responsibility.”

Why Did You Leave (Are You Leaving) Your Job?

If you’re unemployed, state your reason for leaving in a positive context: “I managed to survive two rounds of corporate downsizing, but the third round was a 20 percent reduction in the workforce, which included me.”

If you are employed, focus on what you want in your next job: “After two years, I made the decision to look for a company that is team-focused, where I can add my experience.”

When Were You Most Satisfied in Your Job?

The interviewer wants to know what motivates you. If you can relate an example of a job or project when you were excited, the interviewer will get an idea of your preferences. “I was very satisfied in my last job, because I worked directly with the customers and their problems&＃59; that is an important part of the job for me.”

What Can You Do for Us That Other Candidates Can’t?

What makes you unique? This will take an assessment of your experiences, skills and traits. Summarize concisely: “I have a unique combination of strong technical skills, and the ability to build strong customer relationships. This allows me to use my knowledge and break down in&＃102;ormation to be more user-friendly.”

What Are Three Positive Things Your Last Boss Would Say About You?

It’s time to pull out your old per&＃102;ormance appraisals and boss’s quotes. This is a great way to brag about yourself through someone else’s words: “My boss has told me that I am the best designer he has ever had. He knows he can rely on me, and he likes my sense of humor.”

What Salary Are You Seeking?

It is to your advantage if the employer tells you the range first. Prepare by knowing the going rate in your area, and your bottom line or walk-away point. One possible answer would be: “I am sure when the time comes, we can agree on a reasonable amount. In what range do you typically pay someone with my background?”

If You Were an Animal, Which One Would You Want to Be?

Interviewers use this type of psychological question to see if you can think quickly. If you answer “a bunny,” you will make a soft, passive impression. If you answer “a lion,” you will be seen as aggressive. What type of personality would it take to get the job done? What impression do you want to make?
