1 Q:能否告诉我们哪位应聘者给您留下深刻的印象？为什么？

I just had an interview yesterday morning. It's a candidate, Malaysian Chinese, male, and I was really impressed by him. He interviewed for an audit position and he was very sincere. He was very open about his motivation about his goals in life with his career. And he had a very down-to-earth approach which really always impresses me.

我刚刚昨天早上才面试过。应聘者是一名男性马来西亚华裔，他给我留下非常深刻的印象。他所应聘的职位是审计部门的，他本人也非常真诚。他个人职业生涯中的目标与动机都非常开诚布公地告诉了我们。而最让我印象深刻的是他脚踏实地的做事方法。

2 Q: 您能否给我们举一个应聘者搞砸了面试的例子？他应该怎么做？

Yes, that happens, obviously also as well that some candidates don't always perform very well. Maybe in general I can say that candidates who come in and they do not know exactly what job they are applying for. So that they err they haven't done the background checking on the organisation they want to work with so they haven't bothered to check the website of the company or read some additional material. So that's not something that I'm impressed them with. So we've this... for example... come in err... "so what is the... the job description look like", "what does your company do"... unfortunately those things happen all too often. And when we advertise we always put the job... a copy of the job description and also the link to our company... err with the job adverts. So I expect a candidate, who has been shortlisted... hasn't been invited to an interview so they obviously have time to be invited to the actual interview, to prepare themselves.

是的，这种事的确会发生，很明显，有时候一些应聘者的确表现不太好。大体上来说，我可以说那些进来的应聘者并不太清楚他们申请的职位到底是什么。所以他们会支吾，因为没有想要加入的组织做足背景调查或进行相关材料阅读。在这一点上，他们没有打动我。很不幸，我们经常会遇到应聘者问我们“这个工作是做什么的？”“你们公司是做什么的？”我们登出招聘启事时，通常都会把工作描述一同登出，也会附加我们公司的链接。所以我希望直接列在最后候选名单中的应聘者都能好好地做功课，因为他们不必像其他人一样参与其他面试。

3 Q: 除了前面提到的，你最看重应聘者所展现出来的什么部分？

I am looking for someone who is... except of having the skill, the educational background that is necessary and the professional experience that is necessary for a particular post... I look for someone who is a team player, for someone who is really determined, for someone who is motivated, and someone who is honest, honest and solid err.. personality. And err... someone who is open, who manages to express him or herself well.

除了必须的技能、教育背景以及专业经验外，我最看重有团队精神，有决心，有企图心，很坦诚，够坚定的性格，也看重思想包容、表达能力好的人。

4 Q: 在面试中有哪些忌讳？

I think it is... there're different areas. One thing is the appearance. The other thing is your posture. And then the third area is what you say.

我觉得这有不同的方面。一个是外貌，另一个是姿态，再一个是语言。

If we start with the appearance... I think it's always good not to dress up too much...err... not to put on too much colour on err... or makeup because this distracts from actually the person so I think that's not a very good thing to do to sort of dress up too much.

先讲讲外貌。我觉得别过分打扮比较好，颜色不要太多，化妆也别太显眼，因为这会让人对你的外貌而不是本人更感兴趣。所以我觉得还是简单打扮为好。
