Three preparations in advance:
1.
It is best to know the location, scale and global activities of the target company in advance, including the time, performance, business scale and future business of the head office in China, if an industry assessment can be conducted. If you can't get written information, try to get information from the company or other peers.
2.
In the interview, the content of self-introduction should emphasize the motivation of applying and the position you want to apply for. Therefore, only by collecting information about relevant positions can you be confident and relevant to the theme.
3.
Prepare all supporting materials, such as qualification certificates or training materials related to professional ability, which are directly related to the job you are applying for, not only to prove your efforts in this field, but also to show that you have this potential.
On the principle of threesome;
When introducing yourself, you should remember the "three principles": positive (self-confidence), personal (personality) and pertinent.
Talking about self-confidence is to positively affirm yourself and let the interviewer fully understand your strengths and potential. Highlighting one's own personality means giving play to one's unique characteristics and emphasizing one's own specialties and abilities. The pertinent tone is seeking truth from facts, not exaggerating or boasting, and not involving things that have nothing to do with you.
Self-introduction should be concise and clear, leaving the interviewer with a clear mind, quick response and strong logic. Self-introduction time should not be too long, the number of words should not be too much, and it is best to control it within five minutes. Don't just say yourself.
Hanging on the river, talking endlessly, so as not to say too much. In addition, when introducing yourself, you should avoid using "I" too much, and don't let an "I" appear at the beginning of every sentence, leaving people with the impression of self-promotion and self-centeredness
Impression of the heart.
Flexible candidates often turn the word "I" into the word "you". For example, the interviewer said, please say something.
About yourself? Can you tell me something about yourself? The applicant said: Do you want me to talk about mine?
I still have to talk about my personal life
Work? Do you want me to talk about my personal life or something related to this job? In this way, your conversation will put the interviewer in. The effect of this way of speaking is self-evident. After all, the interview is an occasion for interviewers and candidates to communicate with each other. Candidates often put the interviewer in their own conversation, which naturally plays a role in communicating with each other.
It is manifested in three aspects:
Answer questions clearly and gently. The content should be organized and avoid repetition. The introduction of work experience is in the opposite order, starting from the most recent job and emphasizing the work experience that is beneficial to the new job. It's better to explain that it was once responsible.
Any position, actual achievement, achievement, etc. And the impact of my work on the original company. Anything irrelevant to this application should be avoided as much as possible. The topic is closely related to the following three aspects to show its advantages.
1.
Ability. When you know that the recruiting unit is eager to recruit people at present, you should first talk about your expertise and then draw a logical conclusion: I think your unit needs it.
People like this
I think your company needs talents like me. ) Use this sentence pattern to make the interviewer feel that you are speaking from their standpoint and thinking about their development, so it is easier to accept you. When you state your qualifications, you can start by saying: I am.
Be competent for this job
Because ... I am qualified for this job because ...) Then state the reasons. When the interviewer examines whether you are qualified for this position, the reference standard is no longer the standard in his mind, but the reason you listed.
2.
Performance. Foreign companies like to speak with facts in interviews. In order to prove your ability, you can contact your past experience and explain that you have solved similar problems faced by your former company and your current employer: me.
Open up the Shanghai market and sell 50,000 sets in one breath.
I developed the Shanghai market and sold 50,000 sets a year. )
3.
Sincerity. After expressing your opinion on a certain issue, you can add: I want to hear your opinion.
I'd like to hear your opinion. This sentence shows your respect for the interviewer, and it is easy for him (her) to feel intimate. When the interviewer is testing your sincerity, you should make a statement in time: so
At this point, you must understand me.
At this point, you must understand my determination. Asking some questions related to the job content can show your interest in this job. Like, what?
Do you think this job includes other responsibilities?
What responsibilities do you think this job includes? )
The first move of English interview:
If you win the first round of English interview.
It shows that your dream job is beckoning to you, and the weight of this round of interview can be imagined, so you should make sure to play your best in the interview. In fact, candidates with no barriers to English communication
There are not many candidates, and most of them are at a level with a certain communication foundation but insufficient experience. The following are some points for attention in the interview, hoping to help you avoid serious injury when your English level is not particularly prominent.
Don't cover everything when introducing yourself.
Although some people think that introducing yourself in an interview is out of fashion recently, it is necessary to prepare a three-minute English self-introduction at a normal speed. First of all, self-introduction is the general program of self-introduction and the premise to ensure that you can cope with any problems freely; Second, be prepared.
If you try to attract the interviewer's attention in just a few minutes, your personal data should of course be condensed and refined. So the prelude can generally state its basic characteristics in one sentence. Then get to the point quickly, or choose for yourself.
Describe your proudest experience, or introduce your strengths. Remember, interviewers usually ask questions about your self-introduction, so it's best not to mention anything that is particularly difficult to explain and abstract when introducing yourself.
Yes, because your English level is only enough for ordinary conversation, not to mention how can you cope with it in a highly tense interview atmosphere? The introduction doesn't need to be comprehensive, because it is already detailed in the materials you submitted.
Introduction, so try to highlight the key points in the interview.
personal
Declare a taboo too soon
Many candidates think that as long as they say "slip" in English in front of foreign interviewers, nothing else matters, so the speech speed has soared. We often see this situation. After you spit lotus flowers, there was silence and foreigners were dumbfounded.
Because they don't understand your Chinglish like catching a train. In fact, the first purpose of English interview is to let foreign executives know about you and even be interested in you. The most important thing is to show your comprehensive quality, not just your language ability.
Force, so you must first try to express clearly. In addition, speaking too fast can easily give people the illusion of being insecure and unstable. A survey by Cambridge University shows that speaking fast generally reflects two different characteristics of people, one is thinking.
People with strong language response and coordination are impatient. What if others understand you as the second?
I'm there
I believe it's best to be simple and clear.
Expressing the most attractive self in simple and straightforward language is the supreme realm of central English interview. Many people who are used to piling up flowery words want to conquer the interviewer with flowery English speeches in the interview, but in fact they have made the mistake of putting the cart before the horse. Don't disdain to use it there
be
Sentence patterns, don't despise using the first person, and don't think about subjunctive mood, inverted sentences and long words that you won't use several times in your life. If you can make sure that you can speak English like a flowing stream, then you can use it at will, but what if you are so nervous that you forget the words? What if the interviewer starts arguing with you? It is the most ingenious way to get straight to the point in plain language.
If you enter for free.
In the conversation stage, the next thing to do is to discuss the topic frankly with the interviewer, from the future of the company to the topic of dress. Of course, you should be honest and smart. At this time, the interviewer may think like a wild horse. It is difficult for you to grasp the characteristics that he cares about you, and you can't predict what he will ask you, so these points are still the only rules that can be followed.
Fluent interview English:
At present, with the arrival of a new round of job hunting peak for college graduates, preparing for English interviews is gradually becoming one of the key tasks for many graduates. Chie, a professional business interview course teacher at New Orange English Training Center, said that different companies and different positions have different English interview methods, but the basic process is similar.
English interview generally includes three rounds.
Chie said that the first round of interviews is usually conducted by the human resources department of the company. They will start with your resume and ask some personal questions, such as asking you to introduce yourself in English. Some companies also have some written English tests, which mainly examine candidates' basic language skills.
At the second interview, the manager in charge of the department came forward. At this time, business issues have become the focus of the interview, so the English interview has also changed from a personal situation to a professional field. For example, when applying for the marketing department, candidates are usually asked to talk about the most successful cases in the past or their own business strengths.
If all goes well, the last round of interview is usually face-to-face with the president of the company. The presidents of foreign companies are generally foreigners, and the interview will of course become all English. The questions asked by the president are generally related to the spirit and corporate culture of the company.
The interview needs confidence most.
Jiang, manager of the human resources department of PricewaterhouseCoopers, said that in general, when conducting an English interview, it is hoped to examine the practical operation ability of candidates in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Group discussion is an important part of English interview. Generally speaking, the purpose of group discussion interview is to understand the job reaction of candidates in the group. Furthermore, the interviewer wants to know more about the attitude of the candidate in the face of criticism.
Jiang said that in the interview of foreign companies, in addition to the written test, the English part of the interview is mainly to test the application ability, so what candidates need most in the interview is self-confidence and dare to speak. Try to use short and clear words.
To express yourself. In addition, don't flatter yourself and belittle others during the interview. Answer questions as naturally as possible, and as a member of the team, answer questions within your own responsibilities, and don't repeat the answers of other candidates.
Fluent in speaking, coherent and clear in thinking, not mixed with Chinese. You can use transitional words such as "hmm" and "anyway" to stop thinking and make your expression obvious.
Need colloquialism.
You also need to know about the corporate culture before the interview.
Chief, a professional business interview course teacher at New Orange English Training Center, suggested that students' preliminary preparation is mainly about personal situation and business. Be prepared for professional English, and sometimes you will be asked to explain a major in English. Therefore, before the interview, you might as well go to the company's English website to learn about the corporate culture, which will be helpful for interviewing the boss.
Chief said that the current trend of English interview is that it is usually set in a place like a reception room, rather than a specially prepared venue, and 2-3 people are responsible for the interview.
As examiners, foreigners must be familiar with their ways of understanding and language expression, because they have different ways of thinking, habits and cultures from ours. Do different companies have different requirements for foreign language proficiency?
Similarly, some people only have the ability to answer the phone in a foreign language, while others require to do general work in a foreign language. Therefore, candidates must accurately understand the degree and purpose of foreign language use of the company they are applying for, and then make corresponding decisions.
