四、 Position and Company 关于所申请职位和公司的问题

22. Why did you select this company? 你为什么要选择这间公司？

回答示范1： Mars is an ideal employer for almost every fresh graduate, partly because the starting salary is very competitive, hehe. But more importantly, Mars is well known for designing career paths for employees. And, I have a personal reason when selecting Mars: my cats love Whiskas (伟嘉猫粮)! My mom is a big fan of cats, so am I, and we’ve been buying Whiskas for our cats “Pipi” and “Lulu” for over five years!

点评1： 这个回答体现了该申请人的两个特点： 第一， 他很诚实地告诉面试官， 应届毕业生当然对Mars趋之若鹜； 第二， 他因为爱猫而爱伟嘉猫粮， 再因爱伟嘉猫粮而爱Mars。

回答示范2： To be honest, it would be ideal for me, a fresh graduate who specializes in Accounting, to join any of the “big 4s”(四大会计师事务所) because each of the “big 4s” has its own advantages. However, I’m particularly interested in KPMG for a very sentimental reason. I was completely fascinated by your career talk! Compared with yours, the other three companies are a bit boring, hehe.

点评2： 这个回答体现了该申请人的两个特点： 第一， 实话实说， 学会计的同学能进四大中的任何一个， 的确都是求之不得的美事； 第二， 善于巧妙地“拍马屁”， 告诉对方自己被他们的career talk感动了， 所以对该事务所情有独钟， 的确是一个很狡猾但是却很不错的回答。

回答示范3： Shengjia is a professional ERP software provider, and I’ve been interested in ERP for a very long time. I believe ERP has a large market in China, even if this business may have some difficulties in the course of development.

点评3： 如果你要进入的是一个不太知名的公司， 那么你可以告诉面试官自己选择这间公司是因为自己对它所从事的业务有信心、 有兴趣。

回答示范4： I’ve been a loyal customer of Kangshifu for years. That’s why I want to join this company. I am a big fan of instant noodles, especially the spicy noodles! I love them!

点评4： 如果要谈对方的产品， 就要谈得感性一点， 不要流于形式。要显得热情火爆一些才能打动别人。这就比如一句简简单单的“你真棒！”必须要火辣性感地说出来才能打动面试官麻木的神经。

23. Why did you decide to apply for this particular position? 你为什么要申请这份职位？

回答示范1： For the past three years I’ve been doing a similar job. Though my current boss has given me a raise twice I’m still not quite pleased with my salary, I believe you can understand 1,800 Yuan is not a very good pay. Now that I have this opportunity to get a higher pay, to work in a more well-known company, of course I would give it a try.

点评1： 这个回答有几个优点： 第一， 很真实， 为钱而跳槽， 是大多数人的换工理由； 第二， 强调了自己已经在过去单位工作三年的经历， 足够忠诚了； 第三， 强调了自己两次涨薪的事实， 说明自己一定有过优异的表现。

回答示范2： I decided to apply for this particular position because I’ve been doing something similar for the last year, however, I’m more interested and confident in the products and services you offer. Online games are a newly developing business, like a new born baby, so I can do many things to help it grow healthily. This would give me a great sense of satisfaction. However, the wine business I am doing now is just like a grandparent, it’s so mature that it doesn’t give too much room for making changes.

点评2： 类似这样个性化的回答永远是最佳答案。如果你并没有转换工作性质， 而只是想转换工作领域， 比如从白酒行业转换到网络游戏行业， 不妨利用这个婴儿与老头的比喻去说服面试官吧。

回答示范3： My career choice actually has been influenced a lot by my mother. She’s been an Admin and HR director in a large state-owned company for over twenty years. She impressed on me (反复强调) that HR jobs are suitable for women because they’re not influenced much by age, and females enjoy an equal opportunity of being promoted. However, the other top positions like sales often go to men. Besides family influence, I selected this job because I feel I am suited for it. I’m easy going, trusted by others and interested in developing people.

点评3： 这是一个很好的回答： 真实， 又夸奖了自己。告诉对方自己的家庭很支持自己从事这份职业， 的确有加分的作用。

回答示范4： I want to be a Sales Rep because it suits my expectations. First of all, I wish to get a pay based on my performance, you know, better results, better pay. Secondly, I hope I will be going out, meeting people instead of sitting in the office, as I’m a very outgoing person. What’s more, sales, compared to other jobs, can improve my abilities most quickly. I can learn how to observe others, how to persist, how to deal with coldness and rejection, and all these traits will help me to be successful in both career and personal life.

点评4： 说得好极了！非常好地概括了销售工作的优点， 体现了一个应届毕业生的活力和激情。

24. Why do you think you’re qualified for this position? 你为什么觉得自己适合这个职位？

回答示范1： I think I’m qualified because the job duties of this position are 80% same as my last job. And the remaining 20% shouldn’t be a big problem because I’m quick and eager to learn. My ability to learn has been proven in my last job as well.

点评1： “我做过类似的工作”， 永远是最能说服面试官的杀手锏。

回答示范2： I studied your job ad and feel that I’m a good match. I have very good writing skills and computer proficiency, which are much needed in this job. Your ad mentions Excel and I am very confident about my Excel skills. Actually, I’ve brought some forms I’ve made in Excel in my last job, but the data are not real, because of confidentiality policy, you know.

点评2： 这个答案很好， 把自己和招聘启事上提及的要求进行匹配， 而且还提供了“证据”。

25. What about this position is especially attractive to you? 这份职位最吸引你的地方是什么？

回答示范1： I would be doing similar things as in my last job but with a higher salary in a more reputable company. That’s the main attraction of this position to me.

点评1： 干同样的活儿而拿更多的钱， 实话实说， 比“忽悠”强多了。

回答示范2： This position is especially attractive to me as it is offered by Huawei. I trust Huawei. I think my job will be more secure than working in smaller companies. You know, if I perform well, I think I can have a long term development here.

点评2： 这是个很诚恳的回答， 因为大公司所提供的职位往往具有同样的优点： 工作稳定， 如果表现好会有长远的发展。

回答示范3： The best part of this job, I think, is that it gives me an opportunity to become a professional in the shortest time. I can master auditing with your comprehensive training. Learning a professional skill is particularly important to me as my major of Business English is a tool instead of a career.

点评3： 大公司通常以自己完善的培训体系为豪， 而应届毕业生也恰恰最需要这样的培训， 所以说， 这是个典型的“一拍即合”的回答， 惟一的缺点就是它可能过于大众化。这个申请人做得就很好， 他把自己的大学专业结合在答案中。他告诉面试官， 自己所学的英语专业不能算是一门职业， 只能是为了某个职业而服务的工具， 所以一份专业性强的工作对他来说格外有吸引力。

26. What do you see in the position that is not attractive to you? 这份职位最不吸引你的地方是什么？

回答示范1： Frankly speaking, I still don’t know, since you never mentioned the downsides of this job either in the job ad or in the career talk. However, the office location is certainly not ideal to me, as I live in Fangcun and your office is in Tianhebei, I might have to rent a room nearby if I get this job.

点评1： 一个很滑头的回答， 不过确实很巧妙， 变相地再一次表了忠心： 为了工作， 宁可搬家！

回答示范2： To be honest, I can’t see any at this moment. But I’m prepared for some disappointments when I start doing it, as each job has a dark side. So far I found only one small disappointment. There is no subway station nearby so I may have to take a bus every day. And I have to be more careful with my wallet and mobile phone, you know, pick pockets, hehe.

点评2： 这是个超级漂亮的回答， 既客观地承认了任何工作都会有不尽如人意之处， 也巧妙地利用幽默转移了话题。妙哉！

27. Tell me what you know about our company. 说说你对这间公司的了解吧。

回答示范1： Actually, what I know about your company is mostly from the newspaper and internet. For example, R&F (注释： 富力地产) is a fast-growing company, from one project in 1994, to 50 properties today. R&F Plaza, R&F Peach Garden and some other properties are highly successful. R&F also has successful business in Beijing and Tianjin, and the international expansion began in 2005 when R&F listed on the Hong Kong Stock Market. What’s more, I was very impressed that R&F donated 14 million Yuan to Jinan University last month. I think I’d be very proud to work in such a generous company.

点评1： 如果你对这间公司的了解仅仅限于互联网上所搜索到的信息， 请你像这位申请人一样滔滔不绝地列举该公司的亮点， 尤其是最新的亮点， 比如刚开发了什么新产品， 刚有什么令人骄傲的业绩等。你说得的信息越多越新越流利， 你的印象分就更高一些。在这个问题上， 展示你的“忽悠”才能吧。

回答示范2： What I know about Kimberly(注释： 金佰利) is partly from the Internet and newspaper, and partly from my own experience of using Kimberly products. I am a loyal customer of Kleenex, and I sometimes choose Kotex. Well, the new product, I don’t know the English name, the fragrant tissue, is really my favorite. It’s a bit expensive, but I can’t resist it!

点评2： 避开人人可谈的来自网络的信息， 转而谈论自己对该公司产品的了解， 确实棋高一招。
