常见英文面试问题 109 道及答案

1. How would you describe yourself?

Sample excellent response: My background to date has been centered around preparing myself to become the

very best financial consultant I can become. Let me tell you specifically how I've prepared myself. I am an

undergraduate student in finance and accounting at _________ University. My past experiences has been in retail

and higher education. Both aspects have prepared me well for this career.

2. What specific goals, including those related to your occupation, have you established for your life?

Sample excellent response: I want to be working for an excellent company like yours in a job in which I am

managing information. I plan to contribute my leadership, interpersonal, and technical skills. My long-range career

goal is to be the best information systems technician I can for the company I work for.

3. How has your college experience prepared you for a business career?

Sample excellent response: I have prepared myself to transition into the the work force through real-world

experience involving travel abroad, internship, and entrepreneurial opportunities. While interning with a private

organization in Ecuador, I developed a 15-page marketing plan composed in Spanish that recommended more

effective ways the company could promote its services. I also traveled abroad on two other occasions in which I

researched the indigenous culture of the Mayan Indians in Todos Santos, Guatemala, and participate din a total

language immersion program in Costa Rica. As you can see from my academic, extracurricular, and experiential

background, I have unconditionally committed myself to success as a marketing professional.

4. Please describe the ideal job for you following graduation.

Sample excellent response (equates ideal job with job he's interviewing for): My ideal job is one that incorporates

both my education and practical work skills to be the best I can be. Namely combining my education in finance

with my working knowledge of customer service operations, entrepreneurial abilities, computer skills, and

administrative skills. I want to utilize my analytical expertise to help people meet their financial goals. This is

exactly why I am convinced that I would be a very valuable member of the Merrill Lynch team.

5. What influenced you to choose this career?

Sample excellent response: My past experiences have shown me that I enjoy facing and overcoming the challenge

of making a sale. Without a doubt, once I have practiced my presentation and prepared myself for objections, I

feel very confident approaching people I don't know and convincing them that they need my product. Lastly, I like

sales because my potential for success is limited only by how much of myself I dedicate toward my goal. If any

profession is founded on self-determinism, it surely must be sales.

6. At what point did you choose this career?

Sample excellent response: I knew that I wanted to pursue information systems technology about my sophomore

year in college. It was then that I realized that my that my hobby (computers) was taking up most of my time. My

favorite courses were IT courses. I also realized that I was doing computer-oriented work-study that I enjoyed so

much I would have done it for free.

7. What specific goals have you established for your career?

Sample excellent response: My goals include becoming a Certified Financial Advisor so I can obtain a better

working knowledge of financial research analysis, which would allow me contribute to my client base as a better

financial consultant since I would have that extra insight into the companies they are seeking to invest in. Also this

is the foundation block to advancing my career to portfolio manager or even branch office manager.

8. What will it take to attain your goals, and what steps have you taken toward attaining them?

Sample excellent response: I've already done some research on other workers at Merrill Lynch to see how they

achieved similar goals. I know that Merrill Lynch encourages the pursuit and will reimburse for tuition of a

graduate degree. I plan on pursuing a MBA to give me an even more extensive knowledge of business and financial

analysis.

9. What do you think it takes to be successful in this career?

Sample excellent response: I believe successful salespeople put forth that extra effort that turns potential clients

into first-time customers. Salespeople who attend to the details by doing whatever it takes to win over a

prospective customer distinguish themselves from the countless others who don't go to any extra effort. Second, I

think that if you label success as an attainable goal, you will never consistently remain successful. You can only

succeed if you learn all there is to learn about your product, your competitors, and personal selling. Since this

learning process is continuous, it's an unattainable goal. With good reason, salespeople should not consider

success an attainable ending point but an objective that will always linger slightly beyond their reach.

10. How do you determine or evaluate success? Give me an example of one of your successful accomplishments.

Sample excellent response:

Last semester I was hired by by university's Council for Student Activities. The group negotiates contracts of

entertainers, sets up sound equipment, markets the entertainers to students, and generally decides what kind of

programming should be done. When I got hired, I didn't know the first thing about how fill any of those

responsibilities. I decided, however, that I wasn't going to fail. Four months later, I have become the Webmaster

for the group. I also write our campus newsletter and created Game Night, a student competition of table games.

That event yielded the biggest audience ever for a non-concert event.

11. Do you have the qualifications and personal characteristics necessary for success in your chosen career?

Sample excellent response: I believe I have a combination of qualities to be successful in this career. First, I have a

strong interest, backed by a solid, well-rounded, state-of-the-art education, especially in a career that is technically

oriented. This basic ingredient, backed by love of learning, problem-solving skills, well-rounded interests,

determination to succeed and excel, strong communication skills, and the ability to work hard, are the most

important qualities that will help me succeed in this career. To succeed, you also need a natural curiosity about

how systems work -- the kind of curiosity I demonstrated when I upgraded my two computers recently. Technology

is constantly changing, so you must a fast learner just to keep up or you will be overwhelmed. All of these traits

combine to create a solid team member in the ever-changing field of information systems. I am convinced that I

possess these characteristics and am ready to be a successful team member for your firm.

12. What has been your most rewarding accomplishment?

Sample excellent response: A recent satisfying accomplishment I was sent to one of our branch banks that was

notorious for not growing their loan base. The branch had logged $75,000 in new loans in an 18-month period

prior to my arrival. Having a reputation as a "hired gun" when it came to loan production I was successful in the

solicitation and booking of $700,000 in my first six months at the branch.

13. If you could do so, how would you plan your college career differently?

Sample excellent response: I wouldn't change anything. All that I have done was a great learning experience that I

will carry forward throughout the rest of my life.

14. Are you more energized by working with data or by collaborating with other individuals?

Sample excellent response: I like the validity of information and also like the energy that comes with working with

people. The best thing about working in a group is combining the great minds from different perspectives and

coming up with something extremely great, compared with when you're working alone. At the same time,

information can generate vitality in the project you're working on. No matter how many heads you've got together,

without information, you can't go very far. The perfect situation would be a combination of working with

information and people, and I'm confident of my abilities in both areas. [Submitted by "Stacey"]

15. How would you describe yourself in terms of your ability to work as a member of a team?

Sample excellent response: I have had many opportunities in both athletics and academics to develop my skills as

a team player. My tenure as a rower with my college's crew team serves as a good example. I learned a great deal

about teamwork while rowing because all the rowers in the boat must act as one, which meant that we

incessantly worked to keep each movement in the boat synchronized. On an individual basis, we still worked

toward group goals through weightlifting and land-rowing. My experience as a marketing research team leader

also helped me to learn the role of "team player." I viewed my position as that of group leader and of group

member. I ensured that everyone in the group had equal opportunity to contribute, maintained excellent

communication among group members, and coordinated their energies toward reaching our team's goal.

16. What motivates you to put forth you greatest effort?

Sample excellent response: You would think that because I am interested in sales, only financial compensation

would motivate me to achieve. Although monetary rewards are important to me, I am driven to succeed internally.

More than anything, I want to be respected by my friends and coworkers for being the best at what I do. Whether

I am considered to be the best car detailer in my hometown or the best columnist for my college newspaper, I

want to be recognized as the best.

17. Given the investment our company will make in hiring and training you, can you give us a reason to hire you?

Sample excellent response: I sincerely believe that I'm the best person for the job. I realize that there are many

other college students who have the ability to do this job. I also have that ability. But I also bring an additional

quality that makes me the very best person for the job -- my attitude for excellence. Not just giving lip service to

excellence, but putting every part of myself into achieving it. In college and at my previous jobs, I have consistently

reached for becoming the very best I can become. I think my leadership awards from my college, and my

management positions are the result of possessing the qualities you're looking for in an employee.

18. Would you describe yourself as goal-driven?

Sample excellent response: Yes, and I demonstrated my goal orientation as president of the local Jaycees, a

community service organization. I am very proud of the fact that I set a goal of signing 50 new members by the

end of the year, and I accomplished that.

19. Describe what you've accomplished toward reaching a recent goal for yourself.

Sample excellent response:

My first few years in banking had me on the fast track to branch management. I realized at some point along the

way that my true passion was in offering financial advice not limited to checking accounts and loans. It was at that

point that I made the necessary arrangements to go back to school full-time to pursue my goal, which I am just

about to achieve.

20. What short-term goals and objectives have you established for yourself?

Sample excellent response: My short-term objectives are to graduate from the Professional Development Program

before the standard two years and begin developing a clientele. As an intern, I prepared ahead of time by studying

for the Series 7 and Series 64 exams that constitute a majority of a beginning financial consultant's time. I'd like to

make make the company that hires me wonder what it ever did without me.

21. Can you describe your long-range goals and objectives?

Sample excellent response: My primary objectives are to learn as much as possible about your company's product

offering, organizational structure, and professional sales techniques so that I may become the most productive

member of your sales team.

22. What do you expect to be doing in five years?

Sample excellent response: Although it is hard to predict the future, I sincerely believe that I will become a very

good financial consultant. I believe that my abilities will allow me to excel to the point that I can seek other

opportunities as a portfolio manager (the next step) and possibly even higher. My ultimate goal continues to be --

and will always be -- to be the best at whatever level I am working at within Merrill Lynch's corporate structure.

23. What do you see yourself doing in ten years?

Sample excellent response: Ten years from now I see myself as a successful consultant for a world-class firm like

yours. I want to have developed a wonderful bond with my employer I will have proven myself a highly competent

systems analyst and will represent my company in helping others find solutions to their information-systems

needs in a professional and timely manner.

24. How would you evaluate your ability to deal with conflict?

Sample excellent response: I believe I am quite good at handling conflict. Working in retail and in the residence

halls required that I make many unpopular decisions at times, whether it was terminating an associate or taking

judicial action on a resident. Often the person in conflict with me would be upset and sometimes physically

outraged. I would always make sure that I fully explained the situation, the policies behind my decision, and why

those policies exist. Usually by the end of the conversation, the person could see the other side of the situation.

25. Have you ever had difficulty with a supervisor or instructor? How did you resolve the conflict?

Sample excellent response: Yes, I had an incident with my Spanish professor. I turned in an essay that she said was

too good to be mine. I was honest with her; I told her that I had a native speaker review the essay, but he made

very few corrections. However, I had broken the Golden Rule of Spanish Composition -- the essay must not even

touch the hands of a native speaker. To prove to her that I was capable of producing an essay that exceeded her

expectations of a non-native speaker, I offered to re-write another essay in her office. I earned an A-minus.

26. Tell me about a major problem you recently handled. Were you successful in resolving it?

Sample excellent response: While working at K-mart, I was one of three people to work in the electronics

department. One day upon arriving at work, I was told the district manager was coming the next day to do a store

inspection. The two other people who worked in electronics were both over 55. Neither could lift heavy objects,

and one refused to work at all. As a result, the electronics department was usually left to me to keep stocked with

product and kept in order. I had about five hours of work time to get the entire department in order. Those five

hours passed around, and there was still a substantial amount of work to be done. I asked the store manager if I

could stay and work after hours while the overnight stockers were there. He said that because of the employment

budget, he could not let me. I was faced with bringing the entire store's rating down, so I suggested a creative

staffing solution, allowing me to work the extra hours while temporarily reducing the hours of the other two

members of the department. Because of this solution, in a matter of hours, the department was in tip-top shape --

and still under budget. And the results? The electronics department got a score of 95 out of 100.

27. Would you say that you can easily deal with high-pressure situations?

Sample excellent response: Yes. My past experience as an Administrative Coordinator required me to deal with

many serious situations since I held emergency on-call duties as a supervisor. One example was when I was called

by a Resident Assistant to deal with an attempted suicide on her residence hall floor. The situation required that I

think clearly and quickly in this life-and-death situation. I had to weigh the many tasks that needed to be

completed. I had to assign RAs to call 911, make sure that EMS could get into the locked building, while at the

same time applying first aid, and ensuring that the rest of the residents on the floor were OK. I also had to make

sure the privacy of the resident in need was respected. I basically prioritized and dealt with each task by its

importance. I delegated responsibility to RAs for things that they were capable of handling because I could not

physically be in many places at once. Once the resident was taken to the hospital, I was responsible for paperwork

and follow up to make sure the staff members, residents, and the resident-in-need adjusted back to "normal" life. I

know this is an extreme example not found in the financial consulting field; however, it shows just how well I can

deal with extreme pressure.

28. What quality or attribute do you feel will most contribute to your career success?

Sample excellent response: My greatest strength is my flexibility. I have learned that work conditions change from

day to day and throughout the day, as well, no matter where I have worked in the past. I also have realized that

certain projects require individual attention and others involve a teamwork approach. These are just a few

examples of the changes that happen in the financial consulting field, as you are well aware. My flexibility to adapt

to the different demands of the job has allowed me to surpass my supervisor's expectations.

29. What personal weakness has caused you the greatest difficulty in school or on the job?

Sample excellent response (shows how he recognized his weakness and worked to improve): My greatest

weakness had been delegation. I would take it upon myself to do many small projects throughout my shift as a

manager that could have been done by others in an attempt to improve my workers' efficiency. Once I realized

that I was doing more work than the other assistant managers, and they were achieving better results, I

reevaluated what I was doing. I quickly realized that if I assigned each person just one small project at the

beginning of their shift, clearly state expectations for the project, and then follow up that everything would get

done, and I could manage much more efficiently and actually accomplish much more.

30. What were your reasons for selecting your college or university?

Sample excellent response (tells how education specifically will benefit the employer): My college has always had

a reputation as having an excellent accounting department, so I knew that if I enrolled there, I would achieve

first-class preparation for my chosen career field. It is also a highly accredited school known for satisfying

employers with the preparation of its graduates -- that's why companies like yours recruit at my school -- the

school produces top graduates. The school offers an excellent liberal-arts background, which research shows

equips graduates with numerous qualities, such as versatility and strong critical-thinking skills. Finally, having

visited the campus before enrolling, I knew that the business school emphasized group projects. During my four

years in the school, I participated in more than 35 group projects, which taught me invaluable teamwork,

communication, and interpersonal skills.
