Q : What qualities do you think are needed for this job? (你認為這份工作需要什麼條件？)
你可能會這樣答:
A: To be an excellent hotel receptionist, I think it is essential to be able to communicate clearly, and to speak good English. I also think that a receptionist should have good IT skills, and be highly efficient and organized. The ability to multitask is also desirable. A receptionist should also be flexible, as he or she may have to work different shift patterns.
本題是要測試應徵者對於工作本身是否具備一定程度的瞭解，也有其他的問法，如："Why do you think you are suitable for this job?" (你為何認為自己適合這份工作？)。回答這類問題只需掌握某些關鍵字的使用，就能讓面試官留下良好印象。
Good Communication Skills（良好的溝通技巧）
I see good communication skills as a must for this job. I've always been very friendly and I have great people skills. (我視好的溝通技巧為這份工作的必要條件。我一直都很友善且具備良好人際技巧。)
A Good Listener（善於傾聽）
I always listen carefully to others' problems before giving my suggestions. That way, I can see what their real problems are and give them better advice. (我在給意見前一向先仔細聆聽他人的問題。那樣一來，我才能看出他們真正的問題所在，並給予較好的建議。)
Able to Work under Pressure（抗壓性佳）
I'm able to deal with short-tempered customers in an appropriate and calm manner and can react sensibly to their complaints. (我能以適當且冷靜的方式處理脾氣不好的顧客，並能理智地回應客訴。)
當面試官問 " What qualities do you think are needed for this job? "回答時，
好好展示你對職位的理解，也突顯你適合該職位的品質和能力。
確保你的回答與應徵職位高度相關。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！
