沪江小编:应届生也好,跳槽另觅高就也罢,求职者谁也逃不掉面试这一关!面试的技巧千千万万,行为面试的要点是讲好“故事”;饭局面试的要点是餐桌礼仪。不同类型的面试要用不同的技巧,你都掌握了吗?本文中“过来人经验谈”的作者是cutiefun。

Categories of job interviews including behavioral interviews, exit interviews, group interviews, phone or video interviews, second interviews, and dining interviews.
工作面试可以分为以下几大类,包括行为面试、针对辞职原因的面试、小组面试、电话或视频面试、二面和饭局上的面试。

行为面试

Behavioral interview
行为面试

Does past performance predict future success? Proponents of behavioral interviewing agree that it does. Be prepared to respond with details, actions and results when participating in a behavioral interview.
过去的行为能预测未来的成功吗?行为面试的支持者对此表示赞同。所以,在行为面试中,要做好准备应对那些细节问题,不同的行为和所产生的结果。

过来人经验谈:由于受到西方媒体负面报道的印象,西方人一般对我们还是有成见的,尤其是新来的。反映在面试上,就要求大家不要过多地、单纯地夸奖自己,一定要举实例证明。一方面面试官可以从中看出你英语的功底到底如何,表达是否流畅;另一方面,他们更青睐通过你提供的实例,自己来做判断,对自卖自夸很反感。所以具有较强的英语语言表达力,学会用英语讲故事很重要。说故事是一件很难完成的任务。一说动词的过去式就错,要不开始时态还是对的,过一会时态又不对劲了。这是对我们中国学生很大的挑战。测试你英语好不好,最基本的方式,先说个故事给大家听听。如果2分钟之内,能流利地把故事说出来,而且动词过去式都没错,那口语基础基本达标,很扎实。

针对辞职原因的面试

Exit interview
针对辞职原因的面试

An exit interview is a meeting between an employee who has resigned or been terminated by the company's Human Resources department. The reason companies conduct exit interviews is to get feedback about the job the employee held, the work environment, and the organization.
针对辞职原因的面试公司的人力资源部门在一位员工辞职或者被解雇后约见其进行的一场面试谈话。公司之所以要组织这样一次面试,是想从中获得员工对于其工作职位、工作环境和公司的各种反馈。

Typical exit interview questions include why you are leaving, why you decided to accept a new position, whether there is anything you would change about the company, and what suggestions you might have for improvement.
在辞职原因面试中,比较典型的问题包括,你为什么要离开?你为什么决定要接受一份新工作?对于我们公司,有没有什么是你想要改变的?对于未来公司的发展,你有什么建议吗?

小组面试

Group interviews
小组面试(群面)

Group interviews involve getting together with other job candidates to meet with one or more interviewers. Usually it involves a number of interviewers - potential managers or supervisors, human resources, even future co-workers and a group of candidates all together in one room.
小组面试就是把不同的面试者集中在一起,和一个或多个面试官在一起进行面试。通常情况下,群面是让一组面试官和一组面试者同时待在一间房间里。面试官们会包括未来的经理或上司,人力资源部门的负责人,甚至是未来的同事。

过来人经验谈:我好多朋友都遇到过这种面试方式,一般用在前1-2轮的面试中。其中一个当时是去一个比较大的韩国服装公司,5个韩国人,5个中国人同时面试。大家讲什么都相互听得见,有点像海选。

电话或视频面试

Phone or video interviews
电话或视频面试

Increasingly companies are recruiting from all over the world. Interviewing methods have changed to incorporate video conferencing and telephone interviews. Using these cost effective methods of interviewing saves time and resources and allows employers to consider applicants from outside their own geographical location.
如今,越来越多的公司开始在国际舞台上招聘员工,而招聘的方式也发生了改变,把视频会议和电话面试都融入了进来。这些面试手段大大地节约了成本,时间和资源,也让雇主可以在公司所在区域以外的地方来招聘员工。

过来人经验谈:这种面试很常见,也是比较难把握的面试方式。如果你英语发音不标准,或是听力不好,突然接到英语电话面试是措手不及的。相反,发音和听力都很好,就很容易胜出这一局。很多人阅读都过得去,口头上秀一下的本事要差很多。但随着国际交往越来越多,以及公司形象的提升,自然要招口头表达好些的,这是大势所趋。

二面

Second Interview
二面

You've done it! You passed the first interview with flying colors and you just got a call to schedule a second interview. What happens next? How can you use a second interview as a means to get a job offer? It's important to be aware that the company is seriously interested in you, or they wouldn't have called. You are definitely in contention for the job!
你做到了!你已经顺利地通过了一面,你刚刚接到了电话安排你去参加二面。那接下来会发生什么呢?你该如何利用二面的机会来锁定工作呢?很重要的一点你必须知道,那就是用人单位已经对你很感兴趣了,不然他们也不会打电话叫你参加二面。你绝对有本事获得这份工作!

Sometimes, a second interview can be a day-long interview. You may meet with management, staff members, executives, and other company employees. Ask the person who scheduled the interview for an itinerary, so, you know upfront what to expect.
有时候,二面有可能会长达整整一天。你可能要去见领导层、员工层、管理层和其他公司员工。问一下安排二面的负责人具体的流程是什么样的,这样你也能提前做好准备。

At Microsoft, the second interview process involves meeting with people from different product groups. Candidates usually meet with four or five people who are geared to provide an idea of what it's really like to work for Microsoft.
在微软,二面的流程包括和来自不同产品组的工作人员见面。面试者通常会见到4-5个人,他们会让你知道在微软工作的真实状态是什么样的。

饭局上的面试

Dinning interview
饭局上的面试

Interviews are often stressful - even for job seekers who have interviewed many times. Interviewing can be even more stressful when you are expected to eat and talk at the same time. One of the reasons employers take job candidates out to lunch or dinner is to evaluate their social skills and to see if they can handle themselves gracefully under pressure.
面试的压力是巨大的,即使是那些“面霸”也会深感压力。那么,在边吃边说的情况下,面试的压力就更大了。雇主把应聘者带到饭桌上的一个原因是想测试一下对方的社交技能,也看看面试者能否在压力下优雅应对。

Dining with a prospective employee allows employers to review your communication and interpersonal skills, as well as your table manners, in a more relaxed (for them) environment. Table manners do matter. Good manners may give you the edge over another candidate, so take some time to brush up your dining etiquette skills.
与未来的雇员吃饭,让雇主可以在一个相对轻松的氛围下(当然是对雇主而言),知道你沟通交流的技能如何,也可以观察到你的餐桌礼仪。餐桌礼仪是很重要的。好的餐桌礼仪会让你在所有面试者中先人一步。所以,有时间的话好好提高一下你的餐桌礼仪吧。

过来人经验谈:不要以为这个很轻松,其实并不如此。你要抓住机会,会表现,懂用餐礼仪。语言和文化是密不可分的,要进入外国人的圈子,有些西方礼仪知识是必备的。这个要一定的训练和经验才有这个气场,让大家在国际交往中不卑不亢,不仅从语言,也从你的举手投足之间,展现人格魅力。

结语

结语:

当你有到位的专业度和人格魅力,在面试中其实西方人比亚洲的面试官更容易搞定。

办公室政治(office politics)其实哪里都有,无论西方东方,有人就存在。一般而言,西方人心机少些,更容易任人唯贤。毕竟公司是要讲求商业价值和回报率的。在中国人事看过你该有的学历背景,英语计算机职业资格证以后,老外基本就看感觉了,聊下来,专业度谈吐够impressive,面试很短也能定了。
