面试常用英语：升迁面试

When you are looking to make the Big Leap—the one that puts you closer to the power centers of a business or organization—the interview process will likely be different from what you've experienced before. The more senior the person or people you're interviewing with, the more definite their ideas are likely to be about what they're looking for. They know that their own continued success depends on hiring the best people.

Show You Get the "Big Picture"
表现出你了解大局

Senior executives and managers generally want people who pay attention to and understand the broader view.

Find Out What Keeps the Boss Up at Night
