1. Tell me about yourself. /How would your friend describe you?〈自我介紹一下。/你的朋友會怎麼形容你?〉
I am self-confident and optimistic. When it comes to work, I always get the job done.
我是個自信又樂觀的人。在工作方面,我一向能貫徹使命。
2. Why do you want to work for our company?〈你為什麼想要進我們的公司工作?〉
My undergraduate background in journalism and my interpersonal and communication skills make me ideally suited for the post of PR director. Your company is a leading garment retail chain and is in the process of extending its franchising operations to mainland China. My research has convinced me that this is the right move at the right time, and I want to be a part of your growth.
3. What do you think of the last company you worked for? Why are you leaving now? 〈你覺得妳原來的公司怎麼樣?為什麼要離開?〉
It was an excellent company that took good care of its people and provided valuable training . I learned to use Microsoft Office there and took managerial classes too. However, it was a family enterprise and I simply reached the ceiling for an “outsider” .I choose to leave because I needed more challenge and greater responsibilities.
4. Tell me about a time when you had to solve a difficult problem.〈談談你曾經解決過的一個難題。〉
I was marketing director for two years at Shun-Li Enterprises, a supplier of parts for electric motors. When I took the job, the bulk of our products were sold to a single Japanese manufacturer. I sensed the danger inherent in over reliance on a single customer base. While the board did not appreciate my efforts, I won the support of the CEO. A year and a half later, our Japanese customer accounted for some 20% of our output , down from 60%. And then the Asian financial crisis hit .Our Japanese customer went out of business, but we were able to carry on relatively unharmed.
5. Do you work best in a team or independently?〈你是在團隊中還是在獨立工作時最有效率?〉
I am comfortable working in both situations and have achieved satisfactory results in each. However, I believe in the saying that two heads are better than one. The synergy produced by teamwork is often greater than the sum of individual efforts.
