英文面试宝典

          你获得面试了，恭喜！如何留下好印象对成功与否至关重要。就算英文还可以，由于紧张也可能发挥不好。更何况，有些情况不是英文本身的错误，而是是否选择了适当的词在适当的时候说出来。
　　面试的英文需要运用一系列比较专业的词汇，并且善用几种时态，如说明过去的工作要用过去时，以前取得的成绩要用过去完成时等等。这里我们就讲讲什么时候该说什么。

　　当你走进雇主的办公室，先介绍自己，握手，微笑很重要。此后第一句话往往是打开局面的，通常面试人员会问：

　　How are you today?

　　Did you have any trouble finding us?

　　What do you think of the weather lately?

　　他们的语调可能会很友好，因为他们也希望你放松，尽量发挥你自己的水平。这时候你要有简单爽快而有礼貌的回应，如：

　　对方问：How are you today?

　　好的回答是：Im fine thank you, and you? 或 Im well thank you.

　　不好的回答是：So, so 或 OK 或Not so well

　　面试过程中最重要的部分是表述自己的学历，工作经验和资历。这些是和你应聘工作直接相关的。

　　学历方面：记住你的学历是在以前完成的，要用过去时态。例如：

　　I attended the University of Beijing from 1990 to 1993.

　　I graduated with a degree in civic engineering.

　　如果你现在还是学生，那么应用现在时态，例如：

　　I am currently studying at the University of York and will graduate with a degree in Economics in the coming spring.

　　I am studying English at the Seneca Community College.

　　记得要告诉雇主，你仍然在不断改善你的英语，比如你每周还上几小时的英语课。因为英文不是你的母语，他们对此可能会有顾虑。

　　工作经验和资历无疑是面试中最重要的部分。所以雇主很想知道个中的许多细节。雇主想知道你到底做过什么，做得好不好。因此你不要谦虚，把最好的成绩和方面表达出来。

　　当谈到你目前在做的工作时你可以用现在完成进行时，表示你不但一直在这样做，而且将来也会持续下去：

　　ABC Engineering Inc. have employed me for the last 3 years as a salesperson. I have been creating customer contacts for 6 months.

　　但谈到以前的工作时用过去时：

　　I was employed by Jacksons Ltd. from 1995 to 1997 as a office manager.

　　I worked as a production supervisor at the Heitz while I was living in New York.

　　当谈及以前的工作成绩和表现，尽量用一些主动的，积极的，令人印象深刻的动词，比用名词或者系动词词组效果好。比如与其说My job is to assist the senior scientist with unit testing不如说I assisted the senior scientist with unit testing.与其说I was responsible for the business needs analysis不如说I analyzed the business needs.

　　以下是一些非常好的动词来帮助你表达你干得多好：

　　acted accomplished adapted administered advanced

　　advised allocated analyzed applied approved

　　arbitrated arranged assisted attained blended brought

　　built carried out catalogued changed classified collaborated

　　compared completed computed conceived conducted

　　constructed consulted contracted controlled cooperated

　　coordinated corrected counseled created dealt

　　decided decreased defined delegated derived

　　designated detected developed devised

　　directed discovered distributed documented

　　doubled edited encouraged engineered

　　enlarged escalated established estimated

　　evaluated examined expanded experienced

　　explored facilitated finalized formulated

　　founded functioned governed grouped

　　guided handled harmonized harnessed

　　headed identified implemented improved

　　increased indexed initiated inspected

　　installed instituted interpreted introduced

　　invented investigated justified led

　　localized located made managed

　　maintained mechanized merged moderated

　　motivated negotiated opened operated

　　organized originated overcame perceived

　　performed pioneered planned prepared

　　presented presided processed programmed

　　promoted provided purchased raised
