留學美國取得學位,謀職的目標,多屬專業工作 (professional),所以面試尤為重要。如果回答問題時,能簡單扼要,真誠中肯,合乎老外口味,那麼錄取機會,必會增加。(有的問題,也要輕描淡寫,以免言多必失。)本欄曾討論過這類問題,以下的模擬問答,做為補充。(A 代表 Answer。)
1. Why did you leave your last job?(你為什麼離職呢?)
A: Well, I am hoping to get an offer of a better position. If opportunity knocks, I will take it.(我希望能獲得一份較好的工作,如果機會來臨,我會抓住。)
或者說:
I feel I have reached the “glass ceiling” in my current job.(我覺得目前的工作,已經達到頂峰。)(即沒有升級機會)
也就是:
I feel there is no opportunity for advancement.
2. Give me a summary of your current job description. (對你目前的工作,能否做個概括的說明。)
A: I have been working as a computer programmer for five years. In that capacity, I do system analysis, trouble shooting and provide softward support.
(我幹了五年的電腦程式員。在這工作範圍裡,我做系統分析,解決問題以及供應軟體方面的支援。)
3. Why is there a lapse (gap) in your employment record?(你的工作紀錄上,為何有缺職的時間?)或
Why were you unemployed for so long?
A: I took time off to take several computer courses in order to strengthen and enrich my skills.
(為了充實自己,增進技能,我抽空修了幾門電腦課)
如果是女性,也可以說:
I took one year off so as to be with my young children. (我為了照顧幼小的孩子而休假一年)
4. What is your strongest trait(s)?(你個性上最大的特點是什麼?)(trait 就是指 personality trait)
A: Helpfulness and caring.(幫助和關心他人)
Adaptability and sense of humor.(適應能力和幽默感)
Cheerfulness and friendiness.(樂觀和友愛)
也可用整句話回答:
I think helpfulness and caring (of others) will be my strongest traits.
5. How do you rate yourself as a professional?(你如何評估自己是位專業人員呢?)
A: With my strong academic background, I am capable and competent. (依我的良好學術背景,我是勝任愉快的。)
如果是教學,也可以說:
With my teaching experience, I am confident that I can relate to students very well.
(依我的教學經驗,我相信能與學生和睦相處。) (relate 意思是 get along with)
6. Could you project what you would like to be doing five years from now?(你能預料五年後你會做什麼嗎?)
A: As I have some administrative experience in Taiwan, I may use my organizational and planning skills in the future.
(由於我在台灣有些行政經驗,我將來也許要運用我組織與計劃上的技巧。) 或
I hope to demonstrate my ability and talents in my field adequately. (我希望能充分展示我在這行的能力和智慧) 或
Perhaps, an apportunity at a management position would be exciting.(也許有機會,來個管理上的行政工作也不錯。)
如果不願正面回答,也可以說:
It would be premature for me to predict this. (對此問題的預料,尚嫌過早)
甚至還可打趣的說:
Hypothetically speaking, I might be able to do your current job as a director.(或 CEO 或 president)
(說不定,我也能做你現在主任的工作呢!)
7. What provide you with a sense of accomplishment. (什麼會讓你有成就感?)
A: Doing my best job for your company. (為貴公司竭力效勞)

8. What elements in a job do you enjoy the most? and enjoy the least?(工作裡什麼因素讓你最愉快和最不愉快?)
A: 依個人的愛好,可以說:
I enjoy the technical part of my job, but I don't particularly enjoy supervision. (我喜歡技術方面的工作,不喜歡監督、管理。)
如果閣下「官癮」頗大,那麼也可以說:
Generally speaking, I have an inclusive management style which employees seem to enjoy.
(通常我有一種員工喜歡的「大家一體、一視同仁」的管理方式)(inclusive 意思是包括所有的員工)
9. Are you a multi-tasked individual?(你是一位可以應付繁忙工作的人嗎?) 或
Do you work well under stress or pressure?(你能承受工作上的壓力嗎?)
A: Yes, I think so. 或

The trait is needed in my current(或 previous) position and I know I can handle it well. (這種特點就是我目前工作所需要的,我知道我能應付自如。)
