外企面试官对英语自我介绍的看法

A Successful Self Introduction in a Foreign Interviewer’s Eyes

面对外企的英文面试，应该怎样在简介时展现出最好的自己呢?

以下是一位世界500强面试官的看法：

‘…A self-introduction will be needed during the interview, at this time, do not talk about much more details about your life or working experience, but to try every means to make the interviewer to learn much about yourself, tell him the advantages you possess when you are in this position. Maybe you would like to select several stories of human kindness to tell him, but make sure, you will grasp with the idea of line. Or you can outline the contact between the job you did recently and the job you are applying for now, how it can help you, and why you choose this company, etc. Particularly worth mentioning is that the examples should be given, your answers are more authenticity and more likely to be accepted, and then give the interviewer a deep impression...’

这位面试官强调，面试简介时不要谈论太多的个人生活，而是要涉及自己的个性与胜任该工作的.能力。同时，要对正在应征的工作表现出浓厚的兴趣，用实例来表明这家公司为什么是自己最后的选择。越是真诚的回答越能够打动面试官的心。

我们来看看面试官给出的修改都出现在哪里：

Good morning Sir, 「What will you say if it is a woman?」

I am glad to be here for this interview. First, let me thank you for finding time in the midst of pressing affairs.

I am 25 years old and I am local. 「I live locally sounds better」 I am seeking an opportunity to work with XXX as Sales. 「..IN sales or As a Sales representative/whatever」.My professional experience and my awareness of your unparalleled reputation have led me to want to work for your company.

I have a bachelor degree with a major in Mechanical and Electrical field.「pause」 Graduated from the XXX university in 2002. Over the past three years, I have worked with XXX Co.,Ltd as Sales 「again, in sales or as a sales man/person/rep?」 who responsible 「with responsibility mainly」 for the market of Hunan. During this period, I have learnt much. I learned the values of teamwork and commitment, how to win, how to work hard, how to concentrate and focus on goals, and how to balance my time and priorities. Additional experience in other fields such as graduation practice in factory and commercial negotiation also reinforces my value to your company.

I enjoy thinking, enjoy learning, enjoy working, 「and I am 」able to bear work pressure.

In my free time, I often participate 「in」 activities such as table tennis 「and」 badminton.

I am expecting to become your colleague on some day. 「More tactful to say ’I would love to become you colleague/join the company」

Because being offhand in advance, let’s leave it at that. 「This sentence makes no sense. ’Being offhand’ means to be rude, inconsiderate, ill-mannered so I don’t think that is whay you mean! In advance of what? ’Let’s leave it at that’ is a command, it sounds rather abrupt and ill-mannered to me, again I don’t think this is what you meant. How about ’I would love to join your company and you would not regret giving me this opportunity.’ and just finish with a smile!」

Thanks.
