1.
Please tell me something about yourself? 請介紹一下你自己好嗎？
I'm Colin Hsu and I come from Canada. I was born in 1975, March,10th. Three years ago, I graduated from McGill University. I majored in Integrated Studies in Education. I am interested in classical music and new things. On the personal side, I think I'm very frank and have a strong sense of responsibility. Thank you.
我叫徐考林，來自加拿大，出生於一九七五年三月十日。三年前我畢業於麥基爾大學，主修教育理論。我喜愛古典音樂和新事物。性格方面，我覺得自己是一個坦誠和富有強烈責任感的人，謝謝。

2.
When you were at school, were you totally involved in any activities?
你仍是學生時，是否熱心參予活動？
Yes, I think the school time is the best time to go out to see the world and become independent. So I often traveled during the holidays. Meanwhile I worked as to get some money to support myself for traveling and to save some money for my tuition fee. By these means, I obtained a lot of useful experience. This surely is helpful to my future work. I was selected as a member of our school baseball team, and I spent almost all my leisure time in training and taking part in matches. Although the training was really hard, it strengthened my will and I've benefited a lot from it.
是的。我認為求學階段是到外面世界和培養獨立能力的最佳時期。因此我在假期常常旅遊，同時我也做兼職，用作旅遊和求學時的生活費。通過這些途徑，我獲得了 許有益的經驗。這當然對我未來的工作有幫肋。我曾被選為學校籃球隊隊員，我幾乎把全部課餘時間都用在訓練及參加各種比賽上。儘管訓練的確艱苦，但磨練了意 志，我從中得益良多。

3.
Would you say that you are more outgoing or more reserved type?你覺得你的個性是傾於外向，還是內向？
Well, I think I'm very outgoing by nature. I like being with people and working with them.我的個性是很外向開朗的。我喜歡跟人打交道，與人合作共事。

4.
Would you talk about your strength and weakness? 可以談一談你的優點和缺點嗎？
Well, I'm a very passionate person and patient as well. I can take difficult jobs that bother other people and work at them slowly until they get done. Sometimes, I may look dull. But when you get to know me better, you'll see that I'm pretty quiet in fact. One of my weakness is that I'm not good talking in front of people. I need to work on that.
我很熱忱也佷有耐性。能承擔那些嫌麻煩而畏懼的工作，並能耐心地將其完成。我有時看起來挺木訥。一旦你深入瞭解我後，你會發現其實很文靜。我最大的缺點，是不善言談。我必須加強這方面的自我鍛鍊。

5.
Q: Tell me about yourself. /How would a friend describe you?〈自我介紹一下。/你的朋友會怎麼形容你？〉
表面上只是叫你作自我介紹，但對方也要趁機瞭解你的自視(self-esteem)高低：你有自卑感，還是太驕 傲，或是相當均衡？請儘量呈現一個「健康」的形象。
A: I am self-confident and optimistic. When it comes to work, I always get the job done. Community service is an additional source from which I derive my sense of achievement.
我是個自信又樂觀的人。在工作方面，我一向能貫徹使命。社區服務是我成就感的另一個來源。

6.
Q: Why do you want this job? / Why do you want to work for this company ?〈你為什麼想要這份工作？/ 你為什麼想要進我們的公司工作？〉
對方想知道你的動機感強弱。一般說來，動機感越強，工作越能投入，也越能持久。請根據你對這家公司和這門產業的研究、對方徵才廣告中隊這個工作的描述、以及你的履歷，提出合理的說明，讓對方瞭解你強烈的動機感。
A: My undergraduate background in journalism and my interpersonal and communication skills make me ideally suited for the post of PR director. Your company is a leading garment retail chain and is in the process of extending its franchising operations to mainland China. My research has convinced me that this is the right move at the right time, and I want to be a part of your growth.
〈以我大學念新聞系的背景，以及我對人際和溝通的技巧，使我十分適合做公關主任的工作。貴公司是成衣連鎖店的龍頭之一，並且正對大陸授權。我的研究讓我相信此舉正是時候。我希望能參與貴公司的成長。〉

7.
Q: What do you think of the last company you worked for ? Why are you leaving now? 〈你覺得妳原來的公司怎麼樣？為什麼要離開？〉
對方想要瞭解的是你在服從領導、與同事相處等方面有沒有問題。記住。絕對不要批評以前的公司。離職的原因可以強調你想新的追求挑戰與負起更大的責任等等屬於積極面的原因。
A: It was an excellent company that took good care of its people and provided valuable training . I learned to use Microsoft Office there and took managerial classes too. However, it was a family enterprise and I simply reached the ceiling for an 「outsider」 .I choose to leave because I needed more challenge and greater responsibilities.
〈那是一家很棒的公司，很照顧員工，並提供寶貴的訓練。我在那兒學會使用微軟辦公室軟體，還上過管理課程。不過那是一個家族企業，我是個外人，已經幹到頂了我選擇離開，是因為我需要更多的挑戰與擔負更大的責任。〉

8.
Q: What do you think of your supervisor?〈你覺得你原來的上司怎樣？〉
對方一方面想知道你是否能服從上級，一方面也要側面瞭解你的辦事效率。效率差的人常常會埋怨上級無能、領導無方。能力強的人即使處在惡劣的環境，也會找出辦法來完成使命。
A: My supervisor was a capable leader . I learned a lot from him, and we communicated very well . He did not tie me down with too many regulations, but provided help when needed.
〈我的上司是很稱職的領導人，我從他身上學到很多東西，我們之間的溝通也非常的良好。他不會用太多的限制、規定來束縛我，但是在有需要的時候會給我幫助。〉

9.
Q: Tell me about a time when you had to solve a difficult problem.
〈談談你必須解決一個難題的經驗。〉
這是要瞭解你解決問題及應變的能力。事先想好一個能夠凸顯你應變能力的事件，並分成三方面來描述；什麼情況？你採取什麼行動？達到什麼樣的效果？
A: I was marketing director for two years at Shun-Li Enterprises, a supplier of parts for electric motors. When I took the job, the bulk of our products were sold to a single Japanese manufacturer . I sensed the danger inherent in overreliance on a single customer base. While the board did not appreciate my efforts, I won the support of the CEO .A year and a half later ,our Japanese customer accounted for some 20% of our output , down from 60%.And then the Asian financial crisis hit .Our Japanese customer went out of business, but we were able to carry on relatively unharmed.
〈我在順利企業做過兩年的行銷主管，那是一家電動馬達零件供應商。我接下工作時，我們公司大部分的產品都賣給一家日本製造商。我覺得過度倚賴一家客戶會有 危險，於是著手拓展客源。董事會並不欣賞我的做法，可是我贏得執行長的支持。一年半之後，我們那家日本客戶佔我們公司的生產量20％，原先是高達60％。 接著就碰到了亞洲金融危機。我們的日本客戶倒閉了，但我們還是能繼續經營，沒有受到很大的傷害。〉

10.
Q: Do you work best in a team or independently?〈你是在團對中還是在獨立工作時最有效率？〉
有些工作需要團隊合作，有些工作需要獨立運作。你應該研究一下應徵工作的性質是需要哪一種。回答時強調你兩種狀況都可以勝任，但是比較喜歡這件工作需要的 哪一種。還有。要注意各項回答之間不能互相牴觸。例如領導能力強的人通常喜歡團隊工作，有創意的人則往往喜歡獨立工作。
A: I am comfortable working in both situations and have achieved satisfactory results in each. However, I believe in the saying that two heads are better than one. The synergy produced by teamwork is often greater than the sum of individual efforts.
〈兩種情況我都可以愉快勝任，而且都有過令人滿意的表現。不過，我相信『三個臭皮降勝過一個諸葛亮』這句俗話。團隊產生的效果常常會超過個人的努力總和。〉

11.
Q: What do you consider your greatest strengths and weaknesses?〈你覺得自己最大的長處與缺點分別是什麼？〉
對方想瞭解你的自視如何之外，還想刺探你是否誠實。儘量強調自己的長處，尤其是和你應徵的工作相關的長處。在弱點方面，或者提出一兩件可以是弱點也可以不是弱點的事，或者坦承有什麼弱點但強調已經在努力改進中。
A: My greatest strength is my ability to achieve results. My interpersonal and communication skills help me build an ever-expanding web of connection, which aids me greatly in getting the job done. My eagerness in achieving results has sometimes been mistaken for impatience. However, I have learned how to avoid giving such an impression while pursuing my goals.
〈我最大長處是能達成任務。我的人際與溝通技巧幫助我建立愈來愈大的關係網，這對我達成任務有很大的功用。因為我急於達成任務，有時會被人誤認為缺乏耐心。不過我已經學會避免給人這種印象，同時還能追求我的目標。〉

12.
Q: How do you handle criticism?〈你如何處理別人的批評？〉
對方關心的焦點仍然是你與上司、同事間之相處的情形。可以這樣回答：
A: I welcome criticism, because criticism is valuable feedback on how well I've been doing. Criticism from my supervisor, especially, points out areas in which improvement is desired and sets goals for me to work toward.
〈我很歡迎別人批評，因為批評是對我工作表現最好的回饋。尤其是上司的批評，可以指出希望我改進的地方，也因為我定下了可以努力的目標。〉

13.
Q: Do you know how to motivate others?〈你如何激發別人嗎？〉
對方想瞭解你能否作一位稱職的主管，以及你的統御領導能力。
A: While working in a leadership position, I learned that different people are motivated by different things. I always observe what motivates a certain person--position, money, or honor--and encourage him or her accordingly.
〈我擔任過領導職位，從而學到不同的人會受到不同事物的激發…我一向觀察一個人會受到什麼因素的激發--職位、金錢、還是榮譽…然後以此去鼓勵他。〉

14.
Q: What do you see yourself doing 5 years from now? / What are your career goals? 〈你覺得五年以後你會做什麼？/你的職業目標是什麼？〉
對方要瞭解你有沒有長期待在對方公司的打算。公司陪養一個人才並不容易，要花錢、花時間，養成之後就離開了，對公司而言是項損失。你應該設法讓公司放心，並表明你會長時間待在這家公司。
A: In five years I hope to have been promoted in proportion to my contributions to a post that requires substantial responsibilities and entails sizable stock options in the company.
〈五年內，我希望能夠按照我的貢獻得到同等比例的拔擢，晉陞的職位可以負擔相當大的責任，以及可以分配到公司不少的認股權。〉

15.
Q: What are your interests outside of work?〈工作之餘，你有什麼興趣？〉
對方是想要瞭解你的個性。如果你有參加慈善工作或是社區服務，這會是相當好的答案。在社會上熱心公益的人，對公司也會很有責任感。
A: I like fishing and listening to classical music. In addition, I am a volunteer member of the Lifeline Association, where I spend one night every week taking calls on their hotline.
〈我喜歡釣魚、聽古典音樂。此外，我是生命線協會的義工，每週有一個晚上要在我們的熱線電話旁守候。〉

16.
Q: What did you earn in your last job? / What level of salary are looking for now? 〈你原來的工作待遇是多少？/ 你現在期望的待遇如何？〉
對方會問這個問題，表示對你已經很有興趣，正在盤算該付你多少薪水。如果你不期望大幅改善待遇，可以照實回答。對方可能會比照你原來的待遇稍加一些。如果你認為原來的薪水太低了，最好拖延一下不要立即回答，並且反問對方這個工作的待遇標準如何。
A: I wouldn't want to prejudice myself by using what I earned as a standard. Perhaps it's best to discuss this when we've gone over the precise responsibilities of the job. I'm also interested in knowing the range of pay for the position.
〈我不希望用我原來的收入為標準而造成成見。或許等我們談完這個工作詳細的責任規劃再說吧。我也想知道這個工作的待遇標準如何。〉

面試結束

17.
如果對方說：
Do you have any final questions? （最後還有沒有什麼問題？）Thank you for coming.（多謝您跑一趟。）
這就表示面談要結束了。如果你覺得這份工作很符合理想，可以在這個時候主動向對方表示你的意願很高，例如這樣說：
Thank you for your time. I find the job most attractive, and I know that I am fully prepared to meet the challenge.
（多謝你寶貴的時間。我覺得這份工作很有吸引力，而且我知道我有充分的準備可以面對他的挑戰。）
臨走之前也可以問對方：
What should I do next?（我接下來該怎麼做？）

18.
如果你經過面談後，發現這份工作與你當初預期的不同，並不是你想要的工作，可以坦白向對方表明：
Thank you for your time. I'm afraid this is really not the kind of job I've been looking for.〈多謝你寶貴的時間。這恐怕不是我想要找的工作。〉
如果對方當場表示要錄取你了，通常會跟你另外約個時間詳談細節，諸如待遇、福利等。如果對方是馬上跟你談這些，也會給你幾天時間考慮一下接受與否。
