英语能力已经成为许多公司和企业招聘时要求的必备条件,公司和企业有时会通过面试来考察应试者的英语能力,尤其是外企。面试本来就够紧张的了,再加上是英语,有些应试者会因为过分紧张还听不懂、答非所问。那么,面试听不懂时该怎么办呢?
一 不要害怕外表冷冰冰的考官
一些用人单位与面试者的最初交流是比较冷冰冰的。例如:
I: Your number and name, please. (请告知你的号码和名字。)
C: My number is sixteen and my name is Zhixin Zhang. (我是16号,我叫张志新。)
这时,面试者不要觉得有压力,面试官的态度冷漠并不是针对你个人,你只需要照实简洁地回答即可。
在某些情况下,面试官会问一些看起来比较普通和随意的问题,但实际上是暗藏深意的,例如:
How did you get here?Was the traffic heavy??(你怎么来的?路上很堵吧?)
你的回答可以是这样:Yes, it was heavy but since I came here yesterday as a rehearsal, I figured out a direct bus line from my school to your company, and of course, I left my school very early so the traffic wasn't a problem. (是的,很堵。但我昨天已经预先来过一次并且找到了一条从我们学校直达贵公司的公交路线,并且今天提早从学校出发。因此,路上的拥堵并没有影响到我。)这样的回答就点出了你的计划性以及细心程度。
二 抓住考官问题的关键点回答
如果应聘者突然听不懂面试官的话,或者问题太复杂,该如何回答?下面是一名工商大学的学生参加一知名化妆品公司英文面试中的一段:
I: You're talking shop. How will you carry out marketing campaigns if we hire you?
你很内行。如果我们雇用你的话,你打算如何开始你的市场工作?
C: Sorry, sir. I beg your pardon.
对不起,能重复一下吗?
I: I mean that how will you design your work if we hire you?
我的意思是如果我们决定录用你,你打算如何开展市场工作?
C: Thank you, sir. I'll organize trade fairs and symposiums, prepare all marketing materials, and arrange appointments for our company with its business partners.
谢谢。我将组织贸易展销会和研讨会,预备所有营销材料,为公司及其商业伙伴安排见面会。
I: Do you know anything about this company?
你对本公司的情况了解吗?
C: Yes, a little. As you mentioned just now, it is an America-invested company. As far as I know, your Company is a world-famous company that produces cosmetics and skincare products. Your cosmetics and skincare products are very popular with women in all parts of the world.
是的,了解一点点。正如你刚才所提到的那样,贵公司是一家美资公司。据我所知,贵公司是一家世界闻名的生产美容护肤品的公司。你们的美容护肤品深受世界各地妇女的欢迎。
在希望对方重复问题时,除了I beg your pardon.还可以用Would you please say that again?的表达方式。
三 巧用过渡语,表明自己用心听问题
如果面试者在面试时可以用一些类似:As you mentioned(正如您所说的)或者As far as I know(据我所知),表示你一直在认真听对方的谈话。此外,你还可以选择As it is written on my resume(正如我的简历所提到的)或As my previous experience shows (如我之前的工作经验所示)之类的表达法。
另外,在面试之前,面试者对应聘公司应有所了解。比如了解公司的规模、业务、未来发展等等。这些往往被中国学生忽略了,对公司文化理解是否深刻,是你超出其他应聘者的一个亮点。但如果实在不了解,就应根据所知诚实回答。
