解析英語面試常見問題:怎么看長期出差
?場景:
interviewer:Sometimes a work assignment requires frequent travel. How do you feel about the prospect of frequent travel??
面試官:有時候工作需要你經(jīng)常出差, 你怎么看?
問題分析:
如果你興高采烈地說: “哦, 出差是免費旅游的好機會呀!”面試官只能啞然失笑或者苦笑, 因為你太天真了, 對于絕大多數(shù)人來說, 出差一定不是“美差”而是“苦差”。
所以, 在這個問題上, 面試官要捕捉的信息點有兩個:
第一, 這個家伙成熟了沒有?他對于這份職位本身的缺陷有沒有心理上的準備?
第二, 這個家伙到底會采用什么樣的方法, 避免出差損害了自己的身體健康, 并令精神萎靡不振?
所以說, 面試官不想聽大話和空話, 他要聽的是一些實實在在的小措施, 能夠讓你常出差而不會太辛苦。
回答示范1:
I traveled a lot in my last job. I traveled almost every week. As far as I know, this job requires travel, but not every week. So it wouldn’t be worse than my last one.
點評1: 以事實來回答質(zhì)疑, 永遠是最上策。
回答示范2: I am very lucky that I can eat and sleep very well on trips. I’ve never been carsick, and even when sitting on a train I can sleep well. So, I never need to worry about frequent traveling.
點評2: 這是個很踏實很中肯的回答。有很多女性在出差的時候神經(jīng)衰弱, 面有菜色, 凄慘無比, 老板當然希望你能夠在出差時吃好、 睡好、 精神好。
回答示范3:
I don’t worry about frequent travel because my daughter is taken care of by my parents, who are both well-educated scholars. It is not a big deal for them to educate a two-year-old little thing.
點評3: 有家庭有小孩的申請人要主動告訴面試官自己是如何處理家庭和工作的關(guān)系的。這是一個很博得人好感的回答, 有教授級的老爸老媽來帶自己兩歲的小家伙, 還有什么后顧之憂呢?
