黃金面試問題Q17 Q : What have you learned from your previous jobs? (你從之前的工作學到了什麼?)
你可能會這樣答:
A: Well, from my previous position at the bank, I now know how to analyze the statistical information effectively. I also know how to make good financialjudgments and recommendations, based on the individual clients' circumstances and needs. I also have learned how to work on a small team to achieve branch goals. My practical experience, along with my professional knowledge, would show that I'm well qualified for the job.
At my last job, I learned how to write marketing proposals, analyze customer needs, and do market research. These experiences familiarize me with the market of children's wear, which makes me well qualified for this job. (我在上一份工作中學會如何寫行銷企劃、分析顧客需要,以及做市場調查。這些經驗讓我熟悉兒童服飾的市場,這點讓我能勝任這份工作。)
Although I've not worked in this field before, from my previous jobs, I've learned to organize my work systematically and to do it in order of priority. I think this skill applies to all job positions. (雖然我沒有在這個領域工作過,從我過去的工作中,我學會有系統地組織工作,然後依照優先順序來完成。我認為這項能力可以應用到所有的工作上。)
當面試官問 " What have you learned from your previous jobs?" 這個問題時,
提供了一個展示你如何在過去經驗中成長和學習的機會。好好準備具體的例子和與應徵職位的聯繫,
可以有效地展示自己的價值和專業素養。以下這些回答可以幫助你在回應時更具體和有針對性:
*Why do you change your jobs so often? 你為何經常換工作? *What are you expecting from this job? 你期待從這份工作當中獲得什麼? *Do you see any important trends in our industry? 你在我們這個產業裡有看見任何重要趨勢嗎? *Why did you leave your last job? 你上一個工作的離職原因為何? *How has your education prepared you for the job? 你所受的教育跟這份工作有何關連? 這些基本問題你都會回答嗎? 該怎麼回答才有加分效果,而不是讓雇主臉上多出三條線? 本書教你以最簡潔道地的英文,做出最得體的應對,前進外商不再是夢!
