總的來說,我經(jīng)歷的英文面試由易到難可以分為以下三類:
1. 送分模式(占比20%)
面試官都不說英文,直接來一句:"請用英文介紹下巴拉巴拉。。。"小編在面試某高鐵公司技術(shù)崗位時(shí),就被用中文問道:"請用英文介紹一下你自己。" 我回答完后,面試官用中文補(bǔ)了一個(gè)問題:"請?jiān)儆糜⑽慕榻B一下你的專業(yè)。"
這一類面試一般都是一到兩個(gè)問題,時(shí)間不超過三分鐘,而且問的問題都是那些套路(自我介紹,專業(yè)介紹,學(xué)校介紹,優(yōu)點(diǎn)缺點(diǎn)介紹等等),只要背好后面小編為各位準(zhǔn)備的題庫,絕對是穩(wěn)操勝券。
劃重點(diǎn):回答的時(shí)候語速要慢,要讓面試官聽得清你說的是什么。同時(shí)回答時(shí)要全程與面試官進(jìn)行眼神交流,這可以有效降低背答案的“嫌疑”。
2. 正常模式(占比60%)
面試官會(huì)在中文面試中抽出五分鐘與你做一個(gè)英文交流,測試下你的英文水平。小編在面試某汽車公司生產(chǎn)管理崗的時(shí)候,就被問到:"Please describe your internship experience(請描述一下你的實(shí)習(xí)經(jīng)歷)"回答完畢后,面試官補(bǔ)充問道:"Are you satisfied with your college life? (感覺自己大學(xué)過得如何)"
這一類面試雖然是英文對話的形式展開的,但問的問題一般都與送分模式中的題目一致,背好題庫,依舊可以應(yīng)對。
劃重點(diǎn):回答前一定要聽清面試官的問題,不要沒聽清就把自己背下來的英文句子一股腦的往外拋。如果沒完全聽懂,但get了部分詞匯,比如university等,可以猜測大概是要你介紹學(xué)校信息,這時(shí)可以先試探的問一下,"Which aspect do you hope to know about my university?(請問您想要了解我學(xué)校哪方面的信息)",如果面試官作答了,說明自己猜對了,就開始介紹自己的學(xué)校信息,如果面試官說不是問這個(gè),他就會(huì)復(fù)述一遍自己的問題,再給你一次聽清問題的機(jī)會(huì)。如果你第二遍還是沒有聽清,不妨直接老老實(shí)實(shí)的說:"I’m sorry, I’m a little nervous at the interview. Can you speak more slowly?(不好意思,我面試時(shí)有點(diǎn)緊張,您能不能說慢一點(diǎn))"。眼神一定要真誠,獲得面試官的好感。
3. 挑戰(zhàn)模式(占比20%)
這一類面試中面試官大概會(huì)用10分鐘和你進(jìn)行一個(gè)較為深入的英文交流。面試官通常會(huì)根據(jù)你的回答順藤摸瓜,再問一些新問題,比如小編在面試某通訊公司海外銷售崗時(shí),先是被要求介紹自己的專業(yè),我說道專業(yè)課程有流體力學(xué)、電工學(xué)等,接著被問道這些課程中我最喜歡哪門課,然后再問我學(xué)習(xí)這門課的難點(diǎn)是什么,如何克服的,這一門課我覺得對以后工作是否有幫助等等。
這一類的面試,還是由題庫中的問題作為發(fā)問起點(diǎn),不過除了題庫外,需要預(yù)估自己所給答案中可能帶來的衍生問題,作出相應(yīng)的英語準(zhǔn)備。比如準(zhǔn)備自己實(shí)習(xí)經(jīng)歷介紹時(shí),就要同時(shí)想到如何說明實(shí)習(xí)中遇到了什么難題,自己是如何克服的。
劃重點(diǎn):遇到這一類面試,一定是申請的崗位對英文有較高要求,今后的工作中是需要大量使用英文的。所以各位同學(xué)在崗位申請的時(shí)候要了解好崗位是否對英文有硬性需求,如果是,就要提前至少兩周進(jìn)行相關(guān)準(zhǔn)備。
以下是為各位準(zhǔn)備的題庫,按照面試中出現(xiàn)的頻率排列,其中使用的詞匯都很簡單。在英文面試中能用高一的詞匯表達(dá),就不要用大一的,這樣你自己容易背,面試官也容易聽得懂。
題庫
1. Could you introduce yourself?(多作為第一個(gè)問題)
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆☆☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆
It’s really my pleasure to have the opportunity for this interview. My name is XXX and I come from XXX. Now I am working on my Master’s degree on Mechanical Engineering in XXX University. In 2014 I graduated from XXX University and got my bachelor degree on Thermal Dynamic Engineering.
I have rich experience in internships and scientific projects at home and abroad. This year, I finished an internship at XXX, and my main responsibility was to design geometric parameters of the crankshaft. Before that, I have participated in several scientific projects in Europe. Last year, I carried on a research on mixed mode delamination of composite materials at XXX University. At the end of the project, I established successfully the B-K delamination criterion of composite laminates.
Thanks to these experiences, I have improved myself in scientific research capability and the adaptability to different working conditions. In addition, I am a very diligent student and I often do part-time jobs to earn my own living.
2. Please describe your internship/project experience.
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆☆☆
3. What difficulties did you meet during the internship?
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆☆☆☆
I met many difficulties in data analysis. The amount of data was very hug. The crankshaft had many geometric parameters such as the length of main journal, the diameter of fillet, the depth of discharge launder and so on. I must analyze the influence of each parameter on fatigue resistance. That was a difficult task. But after a long time of observation, I realized that only a small part of parameters had a strong influence on fatigue resistance. I could focus on studying them and ignore the others. Finally, I found 5 key parameters of crankshaft. By changing them, I successfully improve the resistance of the crankshaft.
4. What’s your quality/merit/strong point/advantage?
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆☆
My outstanding merit is the adaptability to different conditions. I have rich experience in internships and projects at home and abroad. So I have many chances to communicate with different people from different countries. Every time I enter into a new environment, I force myself to accept new regulations and get along well with new colleges. These experiences help me to develop a strong adaptability.
5. What’s your weakness?
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆☆
Sometimes I am an impractical person. That’s to say, I wish to reach for what is beyond my grasp, and hope to finish a complex task in a short time. But in fact I can’t do it. I want to correct this shortcoming in future. I must be more practical and consider more details of my task. Before I start my job, I should think what problems I probably meet and how I can overcome them.
6. What’s your most challenging experience?
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆☆☆
Frankly speaking, the most challenging experience for me was holding the spring festival celebration in my French university in 2017. The goal of this celebration was to enhance emotional communication with French students and spread our Chinese culture. This was the first time that my Chinese classmates and I had held a celebration in a foreign country. During the preparation of this celebration, we were very pressured. If our celebration couldn’t attract French students, probably, they would think Chinese festival and culture was boring. In any case, we couldn’t let this situation happen. So we paid all attention and energy to preparing this celebration. To make this celebration interesting, I created several games related to Chinese music, Chinese words and Chinese food. And they had successfully enliven the atmosphere.
Finally, our hard work didn’t go to waste. This celebration achieved full success. And this challenging experience left a deep impression on us.
7. Why did you select your major area of study?
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆☆
I chose this major because I think the industry of automobile has a bright future in China. Nowadays China own the biggest automobile market of the world, and Chinese customers can consume more than 20 million vehicle per year. That’s an amazing amount. What’s more, only a small part of families owe cars. So with the development of economy, the automobile market will increase at a high speed. So this mayor is a reasonable choice for me.
8. What subjects are your favorite?
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆☆
My favorite subject is CAE design. CAE is short for computer aided engineering. This is a type of advanced technology. With its help, engineers can economize much time and money in the period of mechanical design and calculate the performances of mechanic system by computer. With the development of CAE technology, the simulating result is more and more accurate. Probably, experiment test isn’t necessary in future because we can obtain all data by softwares.
9. Could you describe your family ?
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆
I was born in a family of teachers. My parents are senior teachers with more than 30 years’ teaching experience. My father is the man with a strong sense of humor. He like telling funny stories to my mother and me, and often makes us laugh happily. In my opinion, my mother is the best cook in the world. She is able to make many delicious dishes for us. It’s my honor to have a family like this.
10. Could you describe your hometown ?
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆☆
I come from XXX, which is composed of three towns, XXX, XXX and XXX. It’s a very big city with more 10 million people. Nowadays this city develops very fast. For example, every year one new subway line will be put into operation. That’s an amazing speed. Besides, Wuhan is also a charming city worth to visit. There are many famous historical and cultural sites in Wuhan, such as Yellow Crane Tour, Guqing Terrace, East Lake and so on.
Of course, Wuhan has its own weakness, the bad weather. In summer, it’s very hot. I can’t live without air-condition. In winter, it’s very cold. I have to put on much clothes. So you’d better visit Wuhan in spring or autumn.
11. Are you satisfied with your college life?
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆
Yes, of course. I have learnt a lot at university, such as specialized knowledge, social knowledge and professional knowledge. During years of university life, I gradually become mature. What’s more, I made many good friends at university. They brought me much happiness when we got together, and gave me much help when I was in trouble. I can’t imagine what life will become without these friends. I should express gratitude to my university life.
12. What’s your career planning?
出現(xiàn)頻率:☆☆
難度系數(shù):☆☆☆☆
In a short term, I hope to become a qualified engineer, who can complete efficiently the assigned tasks. In a long term, I hope to become the leader of a team and lead my team members to finish the important project.
最后,祝各位同學(xué)英文面試一切順利!
